Night Market

Last night around 8pm, our group ventured out to the Queen Victoria Night Market. We weren’t really sure what we were in for, but we knew it was supposed to be fun and have a lot of food. As we walked closer and closer, we could hear loud music and crowds of people – the market was nothing like I expected!

There were tons of food vendors everywhere. They ranged from selling kangaroo burgers to homemade macaroons of every flavor. Most of the group tried the kangaroo for dinner, but I wasn’t that hungry. I held out for dessert and had a nutella and strawberry filled crepe. 😊

The market almost reminded me of the Woodstock fair with all of the little souvenir stands, music, and people. It was really fun and I can’t wait to go again. It runs every Wednesday night in the summer here. Unfortunately, since the end of summer is coming, next week is the last one. I’m really glad we got here in time to at least see it though!

I am so happy tomorrow is Friday! This has been the longest work week ever it feels like. This weekend we are visiting Phillip Island on Saturday and going on the Yarra Valley Wine, Chocolate, and Cheese tour on Sunday. I’m very excited for both!

Also here are a few more pictures from the wildlife sanctuary that my professor passed along

Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies

Today was a very lazy day for me! I wrote an essay, read an entire book, baked cookies, took a nap, and watched the new Footloose movie with my college dance team.

I wanted to pop in quickly to share a delicious recipe that I tried out today for our movie night – Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies. I chose this recipe because it included all ingredients that I had on hand, and it took me less than 30 minutes to make 36 cookies! What more could you ask for?  It took even less time than that for all of my teammates to devour them. 🙂

If you love peanut butter and you love easy recipes like I do – then this is definitely for you!

Vegan PB Cookies

Pre-heat the oven to 375 F. Combine all of the listed ingredients in a large bowl and mix well until a dough forms. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a cookie sheet. Press down on each ball with a fork in order to create the criss-cross design – you could also just flatten the cookies with your hand if preferred. Bake for approximately 7 minutes before removing from the oven and allowing to cool. These take a bit longer than regular cookies to completely cool, so wait a few extra minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.

While these may not be the prettiest looking cookies, they are definitely delicious.

Enjoy!
