So I decided to cook something up that might help.  Orignially I wanted to make something to help with communication, but there arn't many communication foods (at least in Cunningham's guide) that would work well with chocolate chip cookies.  So instead I decided to add extra spiritual, wisdom and love compents into my cookies.  

The receipe is common, nothing too fancy, (I got it from the package of the choclate chips!) but the additions to it make it a bit more special.  

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

3/4 cup graulated sugar

3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs

2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour (I actually had to add an extra 1/2 cup because it was pretty runny)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups (12 oz.) of chocolate chips

1 cup chopped hazlenuts

nutmeg

cinnamon

(last two do not have an amount because I didnt measure... woops!)

Heat oven to 375 F.  Beat butter, sugar (both) and vanilla in large bowl with mixer until creamy.  Add eggs; beat well.  Stir together flour, baking soda and salt until well blended.  Add chocolate chips, nuts, nutmet, cinnamon.  Grease cookies sheets, cook for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.  

Simple right?  I thought so.  

According to Cunningham's guide (Wicca in the kitchen) Chocolate is for love, Hazelnuts for Wisdom and conscious mind,  Nutmeg for psychic awareness, (he is still doubting a lot of the visions and everyday magic that are aound him) and Cinnamon for love, psychic awareness.  

As I mentioned he is still doubting a lot of the magical things around him.  I think it's partly because he doesnt know how to read the signs right, or that he's becoming self concious about magic.  (Doesnt want other people to think that he's crazy.  He's very much a social bee and his friends opinion mean a lot to him.)  But I think that with these enhancing foods that he might just see something or even recall something that happened reciently that will remind him that there is no such things as concidences.  The love elements are to remind him of my support of him and that he can confine in me of these things going on in his life.  

We'll see how it goes, I'll keep you all posted.  Any suggestions?  Things you would have done differntly?  Have something that's better?

Thanks!
