Lack of Focus

The last year or so, I have definately felt a lack of focus for the blog. What exactly should I be blogging about? Life in California? At some point, I feel like I am rubbing it that the weather is so nice and no one takes my complains seriously when cold = 50 degrees. Life as a graduate student? Does that get old and does it end up being romanticized? Because let me tell you, there is NOTHING romantic about doing Spanish homework all night or reading a 430 page book in roughly 4 days on top of doing other homework.
I have also thought about using this to blog recipes and the like. I enjoy cooking and I am trying to lose weight in the new year, so I am trying new healthful recipes. Now, by lose weight, I should clarify, I am talking like 6 pounds over 10 months, so I am really looking for ways to change my lifestyle.
So for now, I will blog with this emphasis. We'll see how long it lasts.

So the last recipe I tried was from runner's world. It's a recipe for double chocolate outmeal cookies. One of my new 'rules' is that I will not buy any prepackaged cookies or cakes. If want a baked good, I will bake it myself. That way I know I really want it AND I know exacatly what goes into it.
The cookies I made this weekend are awesome and they cut 50 calories per cookie (from the traditional chocolate chip cookie). The only changes I made from the recipe used below is that I did not add nuts and I used egg beaters versus regular eggs. I have to say these are my new favorite cookies.

3/4 stick butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
4 tablespoons dark honey
2 eggs1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup white flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking sodaa shake of salt
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 cups quick-cooking oats
3/4 cup chopped dark chocolate
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Preheat oven to 375 F. In a mixing bowl, cream butter, sugars, and honey. Add eggs and vanilla and blend well. Combine flours, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder, then add to the wet mixture. Stir in oats, chocolate, and nuts. Spoon batter in one-tablespoon mounds onto a cookie sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Makes two dozen.Calories: 150 Fat: 6 g Carbs: 22 g Protein: 3 g
