Cookies + Cake.

Is it a crime as a woman to be tired of chocolate?

Because I think I am.

After eating and breathing chocolate with the last cake, it's time for something simple.

Classic and simple.

Clean and non-complex.  That's what simple is.

Something as simple and as cheerful as a Cake-Batter Cookie.

Random.

Smiles.

Being content.

cLAssIc.

Nothing is classic.

Not according to this web address.

And that's not a bad thing.

It's simply better.  After dinner, no one has to go home burping, farting, or bloated.

Or grumpy, because you're stuck with one of these people...

No one said you have to give an arm and a leg...or nose...to go home burping, farting, bloating-free.



Use your resources.  Use Tinkayda Lasagna Noodles.  Use them for Lasagna with Turkey Sausage Bolognese.

Cookie Monster.

How could anyone blame Cookie Monster for loving cookies??

If anything, he should be a favorite of Sesame Street for all of the foodies out there.
You taste a cookie that's so darn tasty that you just want to gorge your face with cookies like good ol' Cookie Monster.
For a hot moment there they considered making him "Veggie Monster."



Common now people, really??

Promoting healthy eating habits is essential for all.  But destroying Cookie Monster??!

He eats cookies with letters on them.  How much more mental stimulation do you want?!

For parents perhaps, but not foodies.

These cookies are simple and bomb-diggity: Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Sayings.

Mothers always say, "There's more than one way to skin a cat."


Flexibility is key.

It allows you to tailor things to your specific needs and wants.

Otherwise known as improvisation.

Cooks do it all the time.


Artists too.

Scientists included.

I'm sure the oven came about with some improvisation...somewhere down the line.......pretty sure...???

There would be one recipe for each type of food if it weren't for some improv.
Tonight, in order to eliminate meat, Soyrizo was used in place of chorizo.


** If chorizo sausage isn't in the fridge, finely dice a bell pepper in addition to those called for, use the halved cherry tomatoes and the finely diced onion.  With a little olive oil in a preheated pan, fry the chorizo, or soyrizo, until slightly crumbly.  Then, combine your veggies - as listed above -  into the pan. Saute until tender. And stuff the bell peppers.

That's just one way to skin the cat.
