Chunky Chocolate Cookies with Dona Elena Pure Olive Oil?
I associate cookies with butter and not with olive oil because that is how I bake our cookies. Why not, this is the tried and tested ingredient for baked goodies. So when I saw cookies being prepared with olive oil, I was surprised.
I didn’t think I would be enjoying cookies with less guilt 😀
Here was how these cookies were prepared:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Dona Elena Pure Olive Oil
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 pcs large eggs, beaten
3 tbsp fresh milk
2 tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened dark cocoa
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
chocolate chunks

The first week of January’s sprained ankle made me promise to myself that I would hit the pavement once I get better. But this is not how it is supposed to be since I got sick last Friday and as of today, I am supposed to be bedridden. I just will myself to be up and about since we don’t have house help.
There goes my plan to go back to whatever fitness routine I had and I must admit I am tempted to turn to quick weight loss diets to lose these unwanted pounds I gained during the Christmas season and when I was immobile.
I know I am not alone in this journey and that it is all up to me to take the first step back to my fitness routine. For now, I will rest my aching bones and itchy throat by taking a short nap.

A friend asked me to help her look for natural skin care products to help her with her wrinkle problems. Uh-oh! I think I may have to read these for myself too, I tell her 😀
We searched the internet and read a lot of sites. One site, http://www.wrinkletreatment.org has a list of products one can avail of.
We looked at each other and say that we will get there but for now, we probably need to do some alteration in our diets to include food rich in vitamins A, B, C and E like meat, whole wheat, fruits and vegetables. Food rich in zinc like seafood, eggs and milk are also helpful as well as food rich in calcium.
So there, I have added these to my grocery list. I just hope lines will not be long when we go to the supermarket later as this is a payday for most of the breadwinners.

Been reading about skin care because I am still getting pimples even if it is not that time of the month when I usually get these. I have read information from several sites including dermitage reviews.
I am thinking that maybe this is the right time for me to visit a dermatologist to have my skin checked.
If not, I may have to get natural products that will help me with skin care:
- eggs
- honey
- lemon
- oatmeal
- fruits like avocado, cucumber, banana
These should be on my list of things to get when I go back to the supermarket later.

I dread housework. I am not good with household chores and that includes dusting furniture, cleaning the floor and washing the dishes. It is not surprising then that the garage floor is not clean.
I know I should be better, have to do better since I have allergies and so does my son so there should not be dust in the house especially during this time when the weather is windy and dust is all around.
There really is no excuse for this non-dusting.
Or is there?
Rose Milligan wrote in “Dust If You Must“:
Remember, a house becomes a home when you can write “I love you” on the furniture.

Skin irritations. Itchy eyes. Sneezing. Wheezing. Red spots on the skin. Runny nose. Scratchy throat.
These are just a some of the symptoms a person suffering from allergies experience. It is a terrible state to be in. I know because I have allergies and I suffer through itchy eyes and sneezing.
We do know what causes allergies and allergic reactions: food, outdoor allergens like dust, pollen, and molds, medicines, skin irritants like clothes, animals, insect bites and/or insects.
It is easy to identify these allergens but it is quite difficult to avoid being allergic to these.
So we ask: How can we avoid getting these allergic reactions?
