I whipped up another batch of chocolate sesame cookies after talking to Kathryn who suggested adding some spices in, specifically chilli.  I thought her idea was brilliant so I tried it and actually ended up using a pinch of cayenne along with some cinnamon and cumin.  And it works so well!

The mix doesn't make the cookies too spicy, but it does add another dimension of flavor along with a hint of something mysterious. The cookie recipe has now been updated and if you try it, do let me know what you think.  And big thanks to Kathryn for sharing her wonderful idea.

Speaking of sharing ideas, thanks to all of you who've taken the time to leave your smoothie ideas in the comments after I had asked for your help.  I'm blown away by the great ideas you all had and am feeling so much more inspired now.  

On to more site news as I promised to keep you posted.  I have lined up three special guest bloggers for the last week of August here at Veggie Meal Plans.  I'm absolutely thrilled they've agreed to come on board as each of them has something interesting and unique to bring to the table.  You won't want to miss it, so do come back and check it out!

Now I'm packing my bag, along with a few cookies, and heading out on a little camping getaway. Wishing you all a glorious weekend!
