Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever!

I know I should be cooking low carb and healthy but I really want to try out the convection cook button on my new oven!!Well...actually today was a rough day and I needed some comfort food! That's right chocolate! 🍫 But trying the convection button on my new oven, which is true, sounded like a really good excuse to eat chocolate!!!! So this recipe is from magazine I got when I was around 12 years old I think. The recipe is amazing and has been made so many times over the last 40 years I lost track. 🙂 Here are a few tips I have learned over the years...First- make sure to sift the dry ingredients to get rid of lumps. Second- use butter that is cold but not too soft. And lastly- do not over beat! Once you add in the dry ingredients only mix to incorporate and finish by adding the chips in and mixing with a spatula. I also use Nielsen-Massey's Madagascar vanilla extract. You can use any vanilla extract you like, but I like the taste of this one the best. I have tried so many chocolate cookie recipes over the years but none can compare. These cookies are crunchy on the outside and so chewy and gooey on the inside!!!! I use a small cookie scoop and can usually get 3-4 dozen from one recipe. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family and I have thru the years 💝.

Argentinian Red Shrimp in a White Wine Garlic Sauce

Happy Monday!! I can't believe tomorrow will be three weeks since I started this blog! Time sure does fly when you're having fun!!! Hope you and your family are enjoying the recipes as much as we do. I've gotten several recipes from friends that I can't wait to try and blog about. If you have a favorite recipe and pictures you'd love to share, please email or text me! 😊 My family loves shrimp so today's recipe will not disappoint. Normally I don't use wine when I cook but there are a few exceptions, red wine spaghetti and shrimp in a white wine garlic sauce.  There is no need to go and buy an expensive wine to cook with. The best rule of thumb is, if you drink it you can cook with it! The alcohol in the wine will cook out and you will only be left with the flavor. I chose an orange moscato, made in Fredericksburg, because the orange flavor goes great with the garlic, butter and shrimp. You can serve this dish with either pasta, or my favorite, creamy pole

Happy Monday Everyone!!! I hope everyone is having a great day and staying cool. 😊 I'm in Texas and the heat here is crazy....if we have a day under 100 degrees it's a miracle!! Since it has been so crazy hot I decided this week is going to be soup week!!! What.....100 degrees and soup! I know it sounds a little crazy but there is something relaxing about a great bowl of homemade soup. This week I'm going to focus on healthier low carb soup recipes. Today's recipe is so quick, easy and delicious you'll want to make it a staple. Being in Texas, I love the heat and the spice so in my recipe I use hot Italian bulk sausage and add some spicy red pepper flakes to kick it up a few notches!!! The best thing about this recipe is you can make it as mild or as spicy as you like! If you don't like Italian sausage, no problem....try it with ground chicken or turkey. Give it a go and let me know your thoughts. If you have a favorite soup recipe, please feel free to share!
