I'm back in business.
I know I'm on the mend when I have the energy to practice yoga, make a huge batch of pho, and bake cookies. Ah, normalcy.
The pho was rockin'! Lemongrass, onion, garlic, mushrooms and jalapenos simmered with some Edward & Sons "Not-Beef" bouillon. Thai Kitchen wide rice noodles, cilantro, mung bean sprouts, mint, green onions, and lime juice. Yum!
After eating a ridiculous amount of soup, I needed a sweet treat. The past week I've been nibbling on peanut butter with chocolate chips sprinkled on top. Tonight I felt up to some baking, so I whipped up some of the gluten free chocolate chip cookies from Eat, Drink, and Be Vegan. I enjoyed them with a little glass of So Delicious Coconut Milk.
I sampled some of this milk about a month ago and fell in love. Alas, I had to wait until the Co-op could actually order the product before I could take some home. But now it's here and it's on sale!Now, don't get scared that this is like drinking coconut millk from a can. This is a whole different story. This milk isn't thick and doesn't have something like 56 grams of fat per cup. It has 5 grams. And it doesn't taste strongly coconut-y either. It's very mild, but still rich and delicious.
Dipping cookies in it is heavenly!
The kitten likes it, too.

I just got the unsweetened kind. I think I would like the sweetened better. It made really hot chocolate, but I thought it was a little watery tasting in cereal...
ooooooh my. that coconut milk sounds perfectly wonderful. i need a good cookie-dipping resource.
also, i have pho envy. sounds so amazing!
I have been eating PB with chocolate chips on top too! Mmmmmm... Simple and satisfying! Glad you are feeling better; the evil cold is making it's way around my office, but I've already been taken by it once this year...
OOOOHHH! I've never seen that coconut milk! I'll have to look for it the next time I'm shopping!

Mmmm I love your soup! And I desperately want some of that coconut milk!
At first when I was reading your post I though you were drinking coconut milk like from the can! This coconut mik sounds awesome, I'm on the lookout for it!
My first time on your blog--love the title! I have to admit I'm a food snob too. But this is a safe haven for food snobs, right? Anyway, the pho looks awesome. The combination of yoga, pho, and cookies looks pretty rockin' to me.
