Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies & Stress Filed under ( Dessert )

After I left ya'll yesterday, I ran out and taught Body Attack. When I got home, I enjoyed some dinner and then got to baking. As I mentioned before, we had a pot luck at work today. You guys provided so many great ideas for vegetarian friendly dishes I could bring in and I just did not have time to run to the store (don't worry...I plan to use lots of your ideas for dinners for Josh & I). Instead, I decided to bake up a batch of Maria's Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies. I followed the recipe almost exactly, except I subbed pumpkin pie spice for the nutmeg & all spice and used chocolate chunks instead of chips. The beautiful result:

Thanks Maria!

Today has been a super stressful day! All of my projects at work are pulling me in multiple directions. I ran to the store on the way home to pick up some buffalo chicken for Josh and his friend (who JUST finished playing their new video game). I also roasted them up some potatoes. All together now with a watermelon slice:



My plan for the afternoon was to go for my last run before my 10 mile race on Saturday, but all of this work along with the pouring rain made that impossible :(. I am now eating some leftovers for din din (vegan asparagus soup, fruit, veggies, nut butter). I still have lots of work to do- hopefully it won't be too late of a night. Sorry to be such a Debbie Downer!

I hope YOU are having a fabulous night ;) Do you have weekend plans yet?
