Lies (so many lies) and Baked Eggplant Rice

Okay, so I totally lied to you the last time I posted. Not intentionally of course. Just accidental lying. You know, like when you hear words come out of your mouth that don’t seem to belong to you at all… Like, “I can’t remember why I didn’t call you back”, or “I definitely don’t know…

What the actual F makes you think these are BETTER?

Peanut Better Cookies. Can we just start with acknowledging the fucking awesomeness of the name of these cookies?
