I’ve been learning so much about how to deal with life this week. This recipe for a Giant Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie (gluten, egg, and dairy free too!) is a great representation of said lesson. Let me explain… You can set out to do something all you’d like but always be open to (and expect) set…
