I have been wanting to make the famous David Leite chocolate chip cookie recipe ever since the Cupcakes & Cashmere team had a chocolate chip cookie bake-off and this recipe won. There's no time like the present so I went for it yesterday. While this recipe is not my usual go-to of quick and easy, it is worth the extra steps and the hours of waiting.
This year I committed to posting a sustainability challenge monthly, but I have spent the last week thinking on this and decided to go in a different direction for the month of April given the circumstances. I encourage you to continue to participate in my previous challenges. Keep avoiding plastic bottles, keep trying to clean up your cleaning product, keep avoiding single-use plastic bags, and continue eating less meat.
Last night I cooked artichokes for the first time. I loveeeee artichokes and have a nostalgic connection with them because my grandma used to make them all the time and it was one of my favorite dishes she made. Whenever I see them on a menu I order them but have always been intimidated to cook them at home.
We're going into our third full week of social distancing with a toddler. We've had many ups and many downs, but I do feel like we're in a good groove now. Amalia has been happier than ever. Maybe it's her age or maybe it's the fact that she gets to spend 24/7 with her two favorite people and one favorite doggie.
