Baking Date



You do the bacon, I'll do the bakin.'


These are the fine words that escaped my mouth between giggles today as Dave fried up bacon and I whipped up some cookie dough for a fabulous batch of bacon chocolate chip cookies.  Yes, you heard right, bacon chocolate chip cookies.  To be completely honest, I cared less about how these cookies tasted than I did about the opportunity to do some baking (something I love) with Dave (someone I love).  In fact, the likelihood that I would be too grossed out by the idea of bacon in my cookie that I would be hesitant to eat more than a bite was appealing in itself.  I try not to bake things that I love to eat - I suppose you could consider this an essential element of my so far successful weight loss plan.  Quite unexpectedly, these cookies turned out tasting delicious.  I can't be entirely sure whether they tasted delicious because I don't eat cookies often enough anymore or because they are actually delicious.  Maybe you'd better make a batch and let me know. ;)  Here's where you can find the recipe:

About Me

My photo
I met my husband when I was 19 and we've been best friends and inseparable since my 20th birthday and the beginning of what I'm pretty sure we both knew was a rebound relationship. Take that, mom! Rebounding can be a good thing! ;) We've got two little girls, Kayla and Hayley. The best part about parenthood right now is not having babies! It is so nice to not have to lug a stroller everywhere and to be able to sit back and watch the kids play independently. I am at the beginning of my career as a resource teacher and absolutely loving it when I'm not feeling overwhelmed by the size of the job. If I could just find a way to clone myself or sleep less... So, that's me in a nutshell. Well, more like a coconut shell. Why be concise? It's far more enjoyable to ramble. ;)
