Thursday Things~ Double Chocolate Protein Cookies & Double Vegan Cheeseburgers
1. I used an outdated Psychology textbook all semester, only realizing days before my final how different it was from the one I should have been using. I studied & dissected the one I should have been using for two straight days, and I’m pretty sure I aced my final. That commitment included only 5 hours of sleep and the delicious energy of caffeine. Espresso, chocolate, cola. I like my poisons.
2. Dallas was a sweetheart and made dinner while I remained glued to my textbook. Whose man makes double vegan cheeseburgers for dinner? My man! {We found Yves burgers at Costco! Hurray!}. You know what’s weird? This totally looks like a McDonald’s double cheeseburger! But obviously so much better. I had it on a whole wheat English muffin with ketchup, mustard, and vegan mayo. Of course, Dallas melted Daiya cheese onto both patties <3 So good.
3. Dallas & I like to prank each other and play games sometimes. Nothing serious, just silly stuff. Example: He had his lunch warming in the toaster oven the other day while he was studying in the office. In a panicked voice I called “Dallas, your lunch is on fire!” I’ve never seen him run so fast! No, it was not actually on fire 
Got him! Clearly he is ready at all times for an emergency. I won’t even tell you about April Fool’s…lol.
4. Three {or maybe four?} years in a row now, I have forgotten to renew my car insurance on time. Four days went by this time before I realized why the payment hadn’t come out of my account…oh, right! My bad.
5. I cannot get enough of these Double Rich Chocolate Protein Cookies. Dallas has been gobbling them up, too. The original recipe & instructions are at Spabettie’s site. You have to make these!
My subs:
- 1/4 cup Vega natural + 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- chocolate chips instead of chocolate chunks {only because it’s what I had}
- almond mylk instead of water
- added 1 tsp stevia + 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
6. Tomorrow is girls’ night. Monopoly, movies, & snacks are on the menu! And probably wine, lots of wine. So excited.
Tell me some of your Thursday things!
Char, xo

Yay! It wasn’t letting me comment yesterday so fingers crossed that this goes through! I was going to ask about the Yves veggie burgers – I bought some too a week or two ago but have yet to try them, I’m scared I won’t like ‘em! Are you here to tell me they’re good??
Btw I have yet to visit Nanaimo. If I do do you promise a meetup lunch? I would so love that! xx
Thanks, Anna! I know, there were problems with the site for most of yesterday. Everything should be all fixed now!
Truthfully, I’m always a little nervous about fake meat products, but I do loooove the Yves ones!! And Dallas is not a vegan, yet he was the one who suggested buying more. So that says something ;)
And yes, please!! You MUST tell me when you come to visit Nanaimo! Lunch meetup would be fabulous- there are so many great places to eat here!
I want those cookies!!! Anything with protein powder is a fave of mine (with VEGAN protein powder, of course!). The subtle sweetness of protein powder…. oooo it’s soooo goooooood! I’m off to the kitchen NOW!!
mmmm I totally agree! Vega is my fave. Let me know how they turn out! Ours are already all gone, hehe.
Haha, that burger looks so tasty! ALSO, those cookies! MAN! Really interesting recipe. Have to try! Have you gotten my chocolate yet?? I’m a bit worried about the package
It’s not here yet!!
:( I’ve been checking the mail everyday, so eager to get it! As soon as it arrives, I’ll message you, AND do a blog post 
Aaw come on package! ARRIVE! Hoppefully you’ll get them today…or tomorrow! I forgot to send a translation on the ingredients. So feel free to send me a message or something if you have any questions! :))
haha okay, thank you!! I will be standing by my mailbox today, harassing the mailman for my chocolate!
Those cookies look yum, and the double veggie burger, oh my!
Thank you, Lisa!
