National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day

Today is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day! 


So in order to celebrate I made chocolate chip cookies (of course).  But of course we couldn't just make any chocolate chip cookies we made chocolate chip cookies garden style...with zucchini!  


I got the recipe from Right@Home and personally I think they're delicious!  


All it takes is the following ingredients: 
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 sticks of butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla (which I forgot...oops)
2 eggs
2 cups shredded zucchini (this took one medium sized zucchini from the Farmers' Market)
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
And of course you could always add chopped walnuts I just didn't because I'm sharing them with my coworkers.  


I added more chocolate chips because they're CHOCOLATE CHIP cookies so obviously they should have more than just a few chips.  


I had to add more flour because the first batch of cookies looked like this: 






But even a little more flour they were still runny.  So I would say more flour or a zucchini with a little less juice in it (it was practically water running down my hands while I was grating it).  


But all in all I find National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day to be a success!  



Enjoy!

Your Blog: Resume Boost or Liability?

I have recently read two different blogs that have both touched on the same topic. How your blog affects your resume and/or job search. The first was an interview with Sasha Halima, one of my favorite bloggers, at PR Breakfast Club. You can read it here. The second is on Brand Yourself, Your Blog is Your Extended Resume . Brand Yourself argues just what the title says that a blog is an extended resume and that when a potential employer searches for you and finds a blog full of fabulous content, they'll hire you. And while I couldn't agree more that I AGONIZED over the fact that potential employers were most likely Googling me and getting results for some person in Seattle or a Blues Singer in New York the interview with Sasha Halima said something that also struck a chord with me. Your blog can be a "liability." That is the scariest word that any potential employer could ever say because, if you're a liability to them, odds are other potential employers

Julie & Julia

Today Megan (my cousin) took me to Julie & Julia (we got in free because she works there). It was a really good movie, which made me happy because I had heard some people hadn't liked it and thought it was a slow movie, but I loved it. If you haven't seen the movie the basic premise is that Julie (Powell, the author of the book the movie is based from) works her way through Julia (Childs, the world renowned cook) cookbook. She gives herself 365 days and there were 540-ish recipes in the cookbook. She then wrote a blog about it, which became really famous, she was offered book deals, etc. But the point of the movie was that she decided to do something, gave herself a deadline, accomplished it, and it changed her life. So, when I came home I was 1. Hungry (I can't watch food and not want to eat...its the reason I can't watch the food network) 2. Inspired...I decided to cook something...experimentally too. I made soup that I used canned chicken noodle soup and s
