If You Want Something Done...

If I had to pick one craving
that has dominated my pregnancy thus far
it would have to be
chocolate chip cookies.

They have become a staple in our home.
Early on in the pregnancy I convinced my mother to bake some,
and boy did she deliver.
A big bag full of her wonderful delicious treats,
in exchange for a big piece of my hubby's lasagna.
(Ooooh....lasagna sounds gooooood.)

Since then we have had on hand various types of CCC (chocolate chip cookies)
around the house.
There have been Reduced Fat Chips Ahoy,
the Nestle refrigerated dough kind,
even the 800 pound mini chocolate chip bin from Costco (twice).

But still I find nothing more delightful than a homemade
oatmeal chocolate chip cookie.
Problem is, I don't bake. I can barely cook dinners.
Baking is the husbands forte.
And after a long day at work,
husband don't wanna bake no cookies.

So, this afternoon I decided,
for the first time ever,
to make cookies from scratch.
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.
While Rory napped,
Sascha and I mixed together the ingredients
and had numerous taste tests as each batch came out.

The results were yummy, yum, yummers.

See the smiling faces....



That's joy, my friends.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie joy!
