I Can't Believe I'm 45!!! (seriuosly)

Me and the hubs, all glammed up for a birthday outing.

It was great to get out with other adults!

Here I am more au naturel, doing one of my favorite things: cooking.  Notice the almost complete kitchen.  I love it!

Making Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

Although we are not vegan (or vegetarian for that matter) I've found that vegan recipes work very well to acommodate Shelby's food allergies. She's allergic to eggs, milk, peanuts, fish, and we recently were told that she is also "a little" allergic to soy! Believe it or not, there is a lot she can eat, but I have to be imaginative. He appetite is awesome, but she's not always willing to try new things. I hope this changes as she gets older. You can get the recipe for these cookies here.
