The Secret to Making Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies







































Is there anyone who doesn't like cookies?  If there are any (and I'm sure non-cookie likers are out there somewhere) I sure don't know any.  A nice chewy gooey cookie and a glass of cold milk is at the top of my comfort yummies list.  These are quick to make, and pretty quick to make disappear as well.

A Breakfast Favorite: Dutch Babies


I must admit, before making this recipe, I had never heard of, or had, Dutch babies--also known as German pancakes.  Let me tell you.... this for sure, makes it on to my favorite breakfast foods list.  These delights are a breeze to make, and such a special treat!  Dutch babies can be topped with anything you would like--sweet or savory.  I went the sweet route and whipped up some spiced cream cheese maple whipped cream (try and say that 5 times fast!)  Oh yes, it is as good as it sounds!

Let's Grab Lunch: Goat Cheese Mashed Potato Panko Breaded Chicken Sandwich


Seems like leftovers are making all my tasty sandwiches possible these days but hey nothing wrong with that but oh man, when a sandwich inspiration strikes it does so big time. This inspiration struck when I was cooking my wonderfully tasty panko breaded fried chicken as I do occasionally for dinner. Lucky for me I also had leftover goat cheese mashed potatoes on hand from my famous Chicken Juliette dish to really make this work. I digress, as soon as I got these tasty mashed potatoes out of the fridge I knew what had to be done. For these mashed potatoes are tasty enough to make a sandwich taste like heaven.

A Twist on a Classic: Shrimp Alfredo


There's a reason Shrimp Alfredo is an Italian classic.  The twist on this classic is that I use greek yogurt as appose to cream cheese as the main ingredient in the alfredo sauce.  I have never been huge on alfredo sauce; I find it a bit too rich.  Greek yogurt not only gives the sauce a much lighter taste, it is also much healthier.  This dish is well worth the time and effort that it takes to make it.
