My Favorite Cookie

As some of you will remember, I was following a strict diet due to my food intolerances of wheat, dairy, sugar, eggs, corn and peanuts. That is, until I got healed! Well, I have noticed that since my healing, I have still felt that I gravitated towards the things that I had used to replace these foods in my diet. I think it is possible that I may have created a healthy pattern, and that although I am ok to probably eat these things when I feel like it, I don't need to eat wheat every day just because I can. So I have started to incorporate these yummy ingredients when I am eating out or at friends' houses or when I am just craving a slice of cheese etc. I also noticed that my skin has not improved since I have been healed of my food intolerances. I am not sure why that is, but I do know that the food could have had an impact on that. I probably need to wait a bit longer to see lots of improvement, but until then I am going to eat all these goodies in moderation! Besides, it isn't just me who has had problems with sugar. Too much sugar is bad for anyone's diet. In fact, sugar is what fungus feeds on, and fungus in your body can cause acne, so I think that is one I am staying away from anyway since I always get a headache from too much of it. I have replaced refined sugar with honey if I put it in coffee or cakes etc. I am loving the honey. The best honey is the raw local honey which still contains the pollen and enzymes from the little bees. These have a great health benefit for us in fighting off infections from the local germs. Ok, now to the cookie story, well these Nana's cookies I originally purchased at Whole Foods in Montclair, NJ. They were my solution to going out for coffee and wanting to have a cookie with it, or if I didn't bake my own cookies, I would eat them at home with a glass of soy milk. Well, i thought I had to give them up forever until a thought crossed my mind yesterday as I was heading to my first coffee date and was passing by the one of 2 health food stores in town (Bishop's Stortford). So I went in to look for a granola bar or something when, "Eureka!" There on the bottom shelf were a pile of Nana's cookies. now I don't know which flavors they normally stock or if they alternate, but my favorites are the chocolate chip and the oatmeal raisin. So I bought the chocolate chip one to enjoy with my soy latte. Yummy! I never thought I would find them here, and I did which was very exciting.
