These are our "I want a sweet treat but I'm really not supposed to be eating sweet treats so what can I do to have a sweet treat without having too much sweet" go to cookies. Around here we tend to call them our "hippy cookies"
Sugar free and no butter.

Hi! This is a post regarding the site refresh (that I'm cross-posting to the old site as well so I don't have to keep recreating it every time we do a migration)
As you are likely aware, Floyd's been working on a site upgrade for the past several weeks (months!).
Ah November... for me, as a mom, this is the one time of year I start to dread all the sugared temper tantrums that are bound to become a regular thing now that the season of non-stop candy and sweets is upon us.
I still want something sweet, but I would rather see all the *sugar, sugar, sugar!* that the kids are bringing home get thrown out, so today I made Guilt-Free Hippie Cookies.
So this year my son turned 10, and he requested a cake that was all sorts of "half-and-half".
Half of his cake, he wanted "hockey" themed. The other half, he wanted "warrior cat" themed. (He's been reading a series of books about fighting cats)
And he wanted strawberry AND chocolate cake as well.
OK you guys, I'm kinda excited - everyone knows the baker around here is Floyd, and with him doing all the breads, I haven't had to venture into the kitchen to deal with my mageirocophobia. I don't know what it is about baking but I have always tended to shy away from anything baked beyond the occasional cookie and cake.
For all that I'm on here every day for the last 6+ years, I still had never actually baked any sort of yeasted bread myself - I've only made simple quickbreads - one anyway: banana bread.
I ran across this today and had to come over and post about it here!
The Breadou® Loaf baguette is designed to look like a loaf of bread but is, in fact, made from flexible polyurethane foam and meant to be used as a computer keyboard wrist rest. The site also says they smell like the real thing too.
