So I promised I was going to get back to posting recipes, and since I am not one to break promises here you go...Oatmeal Cookies with Chocolate Chips or Raisins depending on your preference.
This is a basic Oatmeal Raisin Cookie dough that can be found by clicking here, which will take you to the Quaker Oats website and a recipe called Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. I have used this recipe for 10 years or so and it remains one of my favorite go-to recipes.
What's that you say? You don't like raisins? Have no fear I have a solution because raisins are not well-liked by the Nutrition Nazi either. Simply separate the dough into 2 equal portions once you have mixed everything in, but the raisins. Then add the desired amount of raisins to one of the batters (like I did for my father-in-law) and then add the desired amount of chocolate chips to the other batter (like I did for NN). Killed two birds with one dough!
Speaking of occasionally difficult/needy... Little Pope always has to be part of the action even if he has no teeth and can't eat cookies yet! At least he isn't screaming, though.
This past weekend we went to my parents' house for my dad's birthday, but the bigger reason was so that they could spoil our little one even more. I am quite convinced the look on Little Pope's face was no accident. My mom is holding him up so he can 'practice' walking and he is smiling because he owns her just like he owns all of his other grandparents.
One final picture I thought I would share...riding the Team Leader like a horse is very frowned upon in this establishment, but we need a break sometimes. We had to give her chips to get this pic and even then she still is not very happy about it all. He on the other hand could not be any happier! The Team Leader definitely earned her keep on this particular day.
Have a great week and a happy Valentine's Day!
