Melt in your mouth chocolate chip cookies 

Who wants cookies? Okay, so the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street just popped into my head! Oh, those sweet childhood memories. Growing up, I think that soft-batch chocolate chip cookies were my favorite. Today, I still love them. However, I like making them healthier, with fewer calories nowadays. 

This recipe will make 3 dozen medium-sized chocolate chip cookies or 2 dozen large chocolate chip cookies. I hope that you will enjoy them!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup, and 2 tablespoons of butter (or use ½ cup of butter and a ½ of shortening)

  • 1 cup of Splenda Brown Sugar Blend

  • ½ cup of granulated Splenda

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla

  • 2 ½ cups of self-rising flour

  • 1 16 ounces package of semisweet chocolate chips

  • Optional: 1 ½ cups of chopped nuts (whichever nuts are your favorite)

Instructions:

First, in a large mixing bowl, beat the butter with a mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds, until it's soft and creamy. (If you are using half butter and half shortening, this will be the time to blend the two.) 


Next, add in the Splenda brown sugar blend, and the granulated Splenda in with the creamed butter. Beat this mixture until it is incorporated well. Then beat in the eggs and pure vanilla until combined. 


Now, begin adding the flour and mix. The dough will be stiff at this point, so use a spoon to finish stirring in the rest of the flour. When the flour is incorporated, add the chocolate chips, and stir well. (If you prefer to add nuts into the cookie dough, now is the time to do so.)



Next, lightly butter a cookie sheet, or use a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Place heaping tablespoons of the cookie dough, 3-4 inches apart.

 

Place the cookie sheets in a 375°F oven, and let the cookies bake for 8 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden brown. When the cookies are done baking; transfer them to a wire cooling rack, and allow them to cool completely. To keep the chocolate chip cookies fresh, place them in an airtight container.

American pokeweed

American pokeweed  American pokeweed is a perennial, and it's commonly known as a survivalist plant. The plant is often referred to as poke salad, poke sallet, pokeweed, poke, among a few others. During the first days of spring, purplish shoots of pokeweed emerge from the soil. The plant will often pop up as a volunteer, and depending on the location, pokeweed can grow anywhere from 6 feet to 20 feet tall. The stalks and stems of pokeweed are an attractive purplish plum color. The leaves are a beautiful green color, and they can grow as big as 14 inches long by 7 to 8 inches wide. The plant's leaves will be tapered at each end. By summer, pokeweed begins producing long clusters of green and white flowers. The flowers turn into green berries that then transition from a light pink to a dark plum color. Pokeweed grows flowers and berries often at the same time and will continue to grow until the first frost. I have never pulled a pokeweed plant up from its roots, but I...

Vegetables that contain protein

Vegetables that contain protein If food prices have you scrambling down the aisles of the grocery store trying to find something that's more affordable than meat but still has protein, know that you're not alone! Back in the days when my grandparents went through the Great Depression, it was really tough times, but they survived through the hardships by growing their own food. There are a lot of veggies that actually do contain protein, and they're packed full of additional nutrients that our bodies all need. Vegetables highest in protein: Vegetables high in protein include artichokes, asparagus, beans, bean sprouts, and beans in general: broccoli, Brussel sprouts, chickpeas, green peas, kale, mushrooms, mustard greens, spinach, sweet corn, and turnip greens. For a few examples: Black beans contain 15 grams of protein in just a 1-cup serving. In fact, a 1/2 cup of cooked beans provides close to 7 grams of protein, which is the same as eating one ounce of meat. As for collar...
