CCC - This is a keeper

So I think that I found a great chocolate chip cookie recipes that doesn't take 72 hours like this one.


.5 lb soft butter
.5 lb dark brown sugar
1 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
12 oz chocolate chips

350° for 10-12 minutes

Cream butter & sugar for 4-5 mins...nice & fluffy.  Add eggs, salt, baking soda, and vanilla.  Mix until everything is combined.  Add flour and the the CC.  baked. enjoy.  You could sprinkle sea salt on the top of each cookie before baking.

This is my new go to recipe.

Pasta Salad

1 # or box of pasta (I like using the bow tie pasta)
Newman's Olive oil & vinegar dressing
2 bell peppers
2 cucumber
2 jars of marinated artichoke hearts (quartered)
cherry tomatoes
crumbled feta

Cook pasta, strain and put in a mixing bowl to chill.  I will add a little bit of the salad dressing so that the noodles don't stick to each other as it's cooling.  Cut the rest of your veggies, except for the artichoke hearts...I leave those quartered.  Add everything to the bowl with the pasta and store in your fridge.  Can make this a day or 2 a head of time.

FYI - there are no real measurements to this, I don't use all of the dressing, just enough to coat the pasta & veggies
