What a crazy whirlwind of a week I have had! Last Sunday, my sister and I decided to travel home to Canada to visit our family [specifically my Grandpa–he’s ill 🙁 ] We bought our plane tickets that Sunday and left on Wednesday! Thats 3 days! Crazy! Anyways, long story short, my little one and I have been in Canada for the past week visiting, partying, and trying to get over these pesky colds we’ve had. So, we got home yesterday! I am SO SO sorry for not updating my blog! Between traveling, visiting with family, and trying to keep everyone healthy, I haven’t really had loads of time. Plus I forgot my cord that uploads my pictures from my camera to the computer. Smart.

BUT, I’m back now, so I’m going to share with you a recipe that I entered last year into a Healthy Holiday Cookie contest that made it into the finals. Its really tasty and isn’t necessarily a holiday only cookie. I’d eat these any time of year….except for now…..because I’m getting over the stomach flu (did I mention I got the stomach flu on this trip, too?! Yeah, that part wasn’t too fun)
Anyways, these are moist and delectable. Chocolate and peppermint are one of my favorite combinations, too! So good! Not to mention healthy, too! I promise to be up and running like usual come Monday! Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    I think I’m going to try to make these by substituting the canola oil with apple sauce, I’ll let you know how it goes! Thanks for sharing!

    wow, looks sooooo yummy! Is there something I could substitute for the zucchini when I don't have some? (I am a fan of it, I just don't always have it) Would applesauce work, or is it too runny? (and then use less sugar?)
