Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies are made twice as sweet by using two different types of chocolate: semisweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips. My friend Kelley talks a lot about “the five love languages” and how different people express heartfelt commitment in different ways. For example, some people demonstrate love through praise and affection, others through giving gifts. There’s a lot more to it than that, and having not read the book or studies, I can’t tell you definitively what that means, but I do know without question that one of my love languages is food. Cooking and baking for people is one of the ways I like to express affection and show people I care about them. In February, love is always in the air, and these chocolate chip cookies are sure to get you some love and appreciation in return, whether you’re giving them to a significant other or to your coworkers. This year, whether you’re feeling a little more romance in the air than usual or if you need a boost to get into the spirit, you can never go wrong with a Nicholas Sparks movie. On February 5, the new Nicholas Sparks movie, The Choice, hits theaters. As with most […]

Citrus Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Orange. Cranberry. Two flavors reminiscent of holiday desserts. All baked into one delicious citrus chocolate chunk cookie. I started off with a recipe for orange cranberry cookies and before long, the cranberries had been benched in favor of chocolate chunks. Typically, I like chocolate pure and unadulterated. I don’t like chocolate/peanut butter, I can live without chocolate/caramel and chocolate/citrus is as good to me as no chocolate at all. I thought the orange and cranberry combination would be a nice change from the chocolate chip cookies that, if I do say so myself, I’m quite good at making. But no sooner had I chopped a cup of dried, sweetened cranberries did it occur to me that they would be better served in scones. Or granola. O anything else that didn’t offer chocolate as an alternative. Within moments, my eyes fell on an orange dark chocolate bar that I’d gotten in a gift set and was waiting to be turned into brownies to bake for a friend’s birthday. Well, I sacrificed the brownies for these cookies and wouldn’t you know, it was well worth the risk: citrus chocolate chunk cookies were born.

The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

Last week, a friend of mine commented about how these days, people are so busy worrying about their next move that they can’t enjoy the small things. So tonight in honor of the gorgeous weather we’ve been having (and because when I was sitting out on my balcony earlier, someone was grilling and it smelled amazing) I took out my tiny, reminiscent George Foreman to make grilled veggies in a yummy London Broil marinade from the Food Network. I skipped the London Broil part (not a big red meat eater) and marinated asparagus, zucchini and yellow summer squash, which I ate with crusty whole wheat Italian bread. It took about seven rounds on the Foreman before all my veggies were cooked, but was well worth it for a good dinner (and tomorrow’s lunch!) Shortly after the good dinner (that I was quite proud of myself for whipping up) when I went down to the laundry room to retrieve a long-forgotten about set of sheets that I’d thrown in this morning, I found the dryer in use by one of my neighbors, but my sheets and two hand towels folded neatly on top of the dryer. Gone are the days of college […]
