Happy Wednesday everyone! 🙂

How are all of your weeks going so far? I just learned the other day that Wednesday is also sometimes called ‘hump day’. It seems like I am the last person in the world to learn this, however, so it probably isn’t news to anyone else.

Right now, as I type this, the donut (the kitten) has just stuck his entire face into my water glass and started drinking from it. Have I mentioned how weirdly obsessed he is with water? Like, how if we allowed him to he would jump right into the shower while it was running? Oh yes, I think I did mention it a little bit at some point. Anyways, sometimes I feel like he is actually a human child in disguise because he literally keeps us up all night with his shenanigans and we have to take shifts getting out of bed in the middle of the night to see what thing he has just knocked over, or what loud object he is racing across the floor.

Yesterday I was sick with some 24hour thing, and while it sucked to be sick, it was kind of nice to just sit in bed all day and drink tea and read my book. Being in school makes it pretty difficult to read any books that aren’t assigned for class. Although I could have done school work (yeahhhhh right) I decided to give myself a break and just read this book I’ve been wanting to read for a long time. The book is “The Call of the Farm” by Rochelle Below. I first heard about it on Jessica Murnane‘s podcast, Episode 24. I don’t want to give anything away, but I highly recommend it and it makes me want to live on a farm even more than I wanted to before reading it.

Anyhow, I must finish this up because I have much-unwanted schoolwork to complete and lots of yummy granola to eat! (did you catch that rhyme?)

Coooooookies!

I really think that, for all of the amazing decadent desserts out there, cookies will always be my favorite. There is something just so about them – something about that first bite that is sweet, crunchy, gooey, and nostalgic all at the same time. Pretty much perfection.

These cookies are no exception. In fact, they are pretty much my favorite cookie I have ever made. First off, they require zero egg substitutions, which I am always very lazy about. Second, they are filled with tahini and sesame, which are my favorite flavors of all time (probably). Just make them, I urge you! They are super simple and incredibly satisfying. I’ve been eating them cuddled up under a blanket watching my new favorite show: Master of None. Make the cookies, watch the show, be very happy 🙂
