Resourcing on a Whim

I hate wasting things, and I love being resourceful. So tonight, as I was packing up from the villa in Florida Ben and I have been living in for the past two weeks, I decided to put together some sort of a snack for our weekend vacation to New Orleans. With a fridge of half-used condiments and various ingredients, it was pretty easy to decide on chocolate chip cookies. I actually had baking soda and vanilla on hand, but no eggs or butter. After almost 15 minutes browsing the web to find a recipe I could make without either, I finally decided to implement some things I found. I could sub a banana for the butter, and mayo for the eggs. (I know, gross, right?) The dough was pretty dry, so I added some Canola oil, and after it was still dry, I mixed in some peanut butter. In the end, they turned out to be pretty delicious! And I didn't have to worry about consuming raw eggs while eating the batter :)

Not bad looking, right?
