Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love to bake, but I do not make a good chocolate chip cookie (I know. How very sad.), that is, until last Sunday. (They didn't look so blue, though...) It's amazing what happens when you turn back to something that has worked in the past! I got this recipe from a friend in high school and it has not failed me yet. Jeff thinks they are a little "cakey" and we both think they could use some vanilla (I would do a tsp). However, 4 dozen cookies were gone in less then 3 days and we only shared 6 with neighbors. Here's the recipe:
2 sticks butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups of flour (you will need to add more, but this is a good starting point)
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
chocolate chips
Mix together. Drop on cookie sheets and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.

Peaches and Cream

If you've read my blog, you know I am trying to eat and be healthier this year. For one of my snacks, I am supposed to do 1 milk and 1 fruit. I came up with this little goodie that actually tasted like ice cream.

1 serving of fruit (I used canned peaches)
1 serving of milk
handful of ice

Blend it all up until smooth and enjoy!

Simple and yummy and no sugar needed!
