I am so lucky that the sun has not been shining here in New York because I cannot seem to find any of my sunglasses. All of my favorite pairs have somehow disappeared. Sooooo I have been on a mad search for new shapes and sizes. I figure since I am starting fresh I should try something different…Ok, so I checked a few sites and OMG!!! I was horrified…when did sunglasses become so expensive???!!!!????????? I went on my one of my favorite websites, Net A Porter and found a company called Le Specs. Le Specs was founded in the 1970’s but was recently relaunched. It is an Australian company that combines a street look with a music look and have become a favorite of celebs and fashionistas everywhere!!!! But I forgot the best part most of the styles are $100 and under!! I like THESE and THESE and THESE and THESE.
I saw a blogger make these the other day and I knew that they would be the perfect thing to share this week. We have been focusing so much on easy family dinners for the past couple of months that it is the perfect time for something sweet!!! Bon Appetit!!!!
- 2 cups lightly packed coconut sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 16-ounce jar creamy peanut butter (1 1/4 cups)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the coconut sugar and eggs and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the vanilla and salt until blended.
- Add the peanut butter and whisk until the dough is smooth and the peanut butter has completely blended into the batter (you might need to switch to a big spoon toward the end, which you’ll need for mixing in the chocolate chips anyway). Add the chocolate chips and stir until the chocolate chips are evenly incorporated.
- For cookies that stay perfectly mounded, chill the dough for 15 minutes before proceeding. Use a 1-tablespoon cookie dough scoop or two spoons to scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 1 to 2 inches of space around each one. Chill any remaining dough while you bake the first batch.
- Bake until the cookies are golden at the edges but still just a little underdone in the center, 11 to 13 minutes. Let the cookies rest on the hot baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them with a metal spatula to a cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- These cookies keep well at room temperature for about 4 days, and freeze well for up to 3 months.

Trying to commit to a clean eating routine can be tough. Recently I found a company that has a product that will sustain energy and disguises healthy ingredients such as whole grains, fiber,
and protein in a delicious healthy cookie. Cookie Republic was born right here in White Plains, NY created by a bunch of NY Firefighters that were looking for something that could keep them going “when they needed it most”. The cookies come in chocolate brownie, chocolate chip and peanut butter flavors and one is better than the next! We are all addicted and I cannot keep them in my house. The best part is that Cookie Republic gives back too. They are committed to raise awareness and contribute to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and make substantial contributions to the NY Homeless Shelters.

This week’s Book Club Monday choice is another hit from best selling author, Kevin Kwan, titled Rich People Problems. The story goes like this:
We LOVE all racquet sports around here. My girls are always looking for cute tennis and squash outfits. They wear them all year round not just the summer months. Recently I came across the cutest company Coho USA. I have been ordering from them and now they are Sponsors of the blog…WOO HOO. You have to see their clothes. The company was started out of the founders’ love of tennis and they incorporate old school classic design with contemporary fabrics. And, they really got it right. The outfits are so cute and great for both on and off the courts. They actually make me yearn for my favorite old wooden racquet days. For more information or to order, click HERE
