If I said I’ve finally got around to my holiday baking, that’d be a lie because the recipe that I’m about to share with you doesn’t require turning on the oven. 

I’ve had this recipe saved under my cookie bookmark for quite a while. I don’t know why I waited so long to whip up this easy recipe – holy deliciousness!! Thank you, Jessica.

I followed the recipe exactly, except that I used TJ’s Old Fashioned Cinnamon Grahams. I’m not sure which brand of grahams were used in the original recipe, but I think TJ’s is the way to go… unless you use homemade crackers a la Ashley’s recipe.

No-Bake P.nut Buttah Cookies

  • 1 1/4 c. cinnamon graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 c. + 1 T peanut butter
  • 1/3 c. brown rice syrup
  • 1/4 c. sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • pinch of ginger
  • bittersweet chocolate chips

Combine all ingredients in a food processor until they form into a ball of dough. Roll dough into round balls, then flatten and make criss-cross indentations using a fork. Melt chocolate chips, about 1/2 cup, in a double-boiler. Place warm chocolate into a pastry bag [a plastic bag will do just fine] and drizzle delicately over the cookies. Refrigerate cookies until you’re ready to indulge, or share with friends at your next holiday party.

Makes 20 cookies 16 cookies after you eat spoonful after spoonful of dough.

Mouth-watering and decadent they are… vegan-friendly, too!

I’m headed to a get-together tonight with the members of my cross-country team to watch the video that was made in 2006 of my senior year season. Looking forward to reminiscing the good old days…

Hope your days are merry & bright,

Hillary

    Mmmm! I need some TJ’s cinnamon grahams in my life again. Although the gingerbread ones I found would be amazing too, I’m sure. Oh wait, they’re long gone!

    These look delicious! Almost looks like the texture of a Peanut Butter Cookie Larabar…although I’m sure these are far more delicious, especially with the chocolate drizzle. I’m going to have to make these for sure.

    Hope you had fun with your friends tonight!

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
