Sneaky Cookies

February 11, 2011 by Julie 32 Comments

One reason why I love fellow cookie monsters…

Cookie Time!

They understand how strong one’s love for cookies can be and make sure to snag extra cookies at every opportunity to share with their fellow cookie lovers!

Today I was fortunate enough to enjoy these two shortbread cookies thanks to a man who nabbed them for me from his company’s private luncheon and gave them to me to enjoy as I prepared my snack in the break room that our companies share. Score!

They were the perfect appetizer. 🙂

Lunch

Lunch today included a big ol’ salad.

Friday Salad

In the mix:

  • Broccoli slaw
  • Rotisserie chicken deli meat
  • Chopped red pepper
  • Kraft light Asian toasted sesame dressing

Dress Me Up

That's Better!

I love this dressing! It makes any salad taste like a delicious restaurant-quality Asian salad.

Now I am off to cram in another couple hours of work before the weekend.

I’m really looking forward to this weekend because Ryan and I are celebrating Valentine’s Day tomorrow with our annual Valentine’s Day Mission followed by a fancy-schmancy dinner. Our wonderfully romantic dinner last year will be a tough one to top but we’re gonna try. We’re ambitious like that. 😉

(P.S. The Fashion page was updated earlier this afternoon!)

I'd love to connect with you! I am always so grateful when you let me know you tried one of my recipes or workouts and tag me in your photos or updates. Thank you so much!!!

    Everyone at work always knows me as “the eater” so I’d often get free food bestowed upon me 🙂 I never complained!!

    I’m not a huge fan of Asian/sesame-flavored salad dressings, but I’ll have to try that one out! I’m usually boring and just do balsamic + EVOO 🙂 Have a great date!!

    You definitely have your priorities straight! Cookies are appetizers, meals on their own AND desserts 😉

    Can’t wait to see where you guys are off to for V-day. You may have said this somewhere already, but do you guys decided on the restaurant together..or do you/Ryan pick for the both of you?

    Oh I just got back from the store with brocolli slaw! That dressing is mighty tasty, had it before.
    And my “cookies” for today are the 7 new flavors of SPREAD peanut butter that arrived in the mail today.
    Wow, so delicious and I’ve only opened one of them 🙂

    The cookies look almost too good to eat.
    My boyfriend is anti-Valentines Day and refuses to take part in “this over-marketed Hallmark-created event blah blah blah”! Annoying, right? I’m so jealous of your mission. I want Valentines pressies!! 🙂

    A pink cookie that sparkles is the best kind of cookie. I wish the feminine glitz of Valentine’s Day was more available year-round.
