Chocolate Chip Cookies with a Twist

The other night I had a craving for cookies, of course the craving won and I made a batch....

I used this recipe from the MOMYS cookbook. Because I didn't have very many choc chips (not sure how this happened) I added about half a cup of oats and one banana. Turned out really yummy if you ask me! ;-)
   

 Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

•  1 cup real butter softened 
•  3/4 Cup sugar 
•  3/4 Cup brown sugar, packed 
•  2 Eggs
•  1 TBS Vanilla or Almond extract
•  1/2 tsp. Baking Powder 
•  1/2 teaspoon baking soda
•  1 tsp Salt 
•  2 1/2 Cups flour (tastes great with whole-wheat flour) 
•  Chocolate Chips (as many as you want)  

 Combine butter and sugars until smooth, add egg and extract, them combine well. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until well combined. Add Chocolate chips. (and anything else you desire) Scoop by TBS onto cookie sheet. Bake @350 for 10 min or until golden brown.

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while.... Life is busy and we are doing great!! Hopefully another post will come sooner than later. No promises though! ;-)

Joplin MO

Upon waking this morning I found out that Joplin MO had been hit by a F5 tornado. My first thoughts were of panic and fear, I have friends that live there! I went to Facebook and quickly found out that they were untouched by the tornado... Thank you Jesus!

Our prayers go out to the people of Joplin! Jesus be with everyone who has lost a loved one!

Here you can see some footage.

Snow

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. ~Isaiah 55:8-11

Enjoying our snow day here in Texas while it lasts...

Keeping warm!

Homemade bread

This past Sunday I finally fulfilled the desire I have been having to make some homemade bread.

I also wanted to use my new mixer *Grin* ( A big thank you to my in-laws!)

So I got busy and whipped some up...

I made one round because I only have one loaf pan... I liked it better - more crust! I added more seasoning and olive oil too!

Letting it rise...

Finished loaf.

Finished round.

Only problem is, as of this morning it's gone! Guess that means the hubby likes it!
