Holiday Cookin': Chocolate Chip Cookies

Who doesn't love a good-ole-fashioned chocolate chip cookie? Well, this is--in my opinion--one of the best recipes! It's our new secret family recipe!

See the recipe here.

In my version of these cookies, I substituted half of the white flour for wheat. Tastes the same, slightly more healthy. I also didn't drop the cookies as large as the recipe calls for (they were huge).

Enjoy!

Holiday Cookin': Green Bean Casserole

This may become a new series on my blog. Or it may not.

Most everyone likes the traditional green bean casserole-- you know, the gloopy, gloppy, creamy, crunchy grean bean dish that at least someone in the family is known for making on the holidays? Well, this year, I decided to search for something a little different. Same idea, different ingredients. Dare I say it, fresh ingredients. What? No canned grean beans, no congealed cream of mushroom soup? Nope. And guess what, it was AWESOME. And really, it didn't take too much longer to make than the quickie stuff.

If you're feeling adventurous this Christmas, give it a try. Here is the link.
