Little jewels like these cookies are keeping me sane. I love these cookies... almost as much as regular 'ol chocolate chip cookies - if not more. (Although... I really don't remember what regular 'ol chocolate chip cookies taste like (white flour, white sugar...) it's been a long time!)

** Elana mentions on her blog that the recipe does NOT work with Bob's Mills Almond Flour. The first I made these cookies I didn't read that, and it's true, it didn't work. The cookies spread out on to the baking sheet and make one huge, flat cookie, that still tasted good but was not presentable at all. The second time around I used Bob's Mills Almond Flour AGAIN (because I still had some) and instead of 1/2 cup agave I used 2 tablespoons agave and 6 tablespoons of natural brown sugar and a tiny pinch of water to get it all to mix together. IT WORKED PERFECTLY. The cookies help their shape and they tasted great. I've them this way a few times now, so it's not a fluke! FYI in case you can't get a hold of another brand of almond flour....

I think I know about the breastfeeding torture. When I was nursing, my boy was extremely colicky. Back then, they didn't diagnose everything as acid reflux as they do now. Anyway, once I stopped eating dairy we was perfectly fine. My daughter was the same way but instead of dairy her trigger for colic was when I ate any soy products. It really proves how sensitive our milk is. Now what I don't get is when the Dr.'s prescribe medication while nursing and say it is safe for the baby???
