After working in Real Estate since 1991, I resigned from my position as a Property Accountant for a Fortune 500 Commercial Real Estate Firm to stay home with the kiddos. We moved from the city to the beautiful hill country of Texas! Wow... what a change!

Voila! Dinner tonight!!



LOVE this weather! Tonight I prepared (as The Pioneer Woman would say) the perfect pot roast. With extra creamy mashed potatoes and a light crisp salad.

For dessert I prepared a super yummy chocolate pie with homemade whipped cream. Ask Dave about it. My electric mixer died tonight so he had to help me take turns whipping the cream. Problems in your life? Take it out with a Pampered Chef wisk and a huge bowl of cream! ;) (of course with a "spoon full of sugar" and some clear vanilla!)

The magic of the homemade chocolate cookie!



I would like to pay homage to the homemade chocolate chip cookie. This delicacy is there for you at every wonderful or not so wonderful event of your life.

Scored high on your SAT? Cookie was there!!
Got into your college of choice? Cookie was there!!!
Made the ever so famous first dinner for your special sweetheart.... cookie was there!
... Had your first baby!! Cookie was VERY there!!!


Cookie was also there when.... you lost a GREAT job due to downsizing.
Cookie was there when you lost your best friend over a really bad argument. (serious... let it go! )
Cookie was there when a close family member died and you didn't think you could survive it...

The homemade (probably a GREAT recipe from your mom) chocolate chip cookie is a steadfast friend. Will NEVER let you down.

We should all take our chances with a nice glass of cold organic milk and our best friend the chocolate chip cookie and be thankful for our lives. :))
