Simple Chocolate Chip Cookies

 This beautiful girl of mine is now 12 years old and measures 5ft 1in! Seems like yesterday she was a tiny baby who I carried in my arms. 

She is such a great help with her younger siblings and is super helpful in the kitchen too.

BEST Morning Muffins

 School is back in session here. That means early morning's, homework, a set schedule and bedtime at 7:30. One of my FAVORITE (as well as our families go to) recipe was given to me by my sister in law. These muffin's are so very yummy! You can even mix up the dry ingredients ahead of time, keep in a jar and mix the wet ingredients when your ready to use for simplicity.

Happy 4th of JULY!

May your family be blessed with a very Happy and Safe 4Th of July!!!

If your looking for something festive and quick to whip up to celebrate the 4Th of July make a quick Cherry Pie! I used some star cookie cutters on my pie dough. I use one of the simplest pie crust recipes:

*Flour (about a Cup)

*Salt (a pinch)

*Warm Water (Around 3 T.)

*Cooking Oil (Around 3 T.)

I'm not good at measuring... Mix the ingredients until the crust is soft and ply -able, similar to play-dough.
