• 1 cup flour
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup melted butter
  
• 1/3 cup sugar

• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp vanilla

• 1/2 tsp chili powder

1. Combine dry ingredient in bowl.
2. Add butter & chocolate chips make sure butter is cooled so it doesn't melt the chocolate
3. Bake in a 300 degree oven for 14 minutes.

OVERALL: So these were suppose to be chocolate chip cookies. Then one ingredient led to another and before you know it, these babies were born. These were so freaking good. I brought them to my study group the following day and were gone within 10 minutes of me getting there. The only thing I would do differently is play with the amount of chili powder, maybe adding some more because you couldn't taste it. But over all these were wonderful

Now I leave you with Cookie Porn...

Peaches Gone Wild

Oh baby baby!

So I was craving sweets the other night. I've been trying to limit the amount of sugar I eat because trust me, it's a lot. So I threw out my sweets and decided cold turkey was the best option.

Lies.

Just like any drug user, I need to wean myself off the drug. So, in an attempt to cure my aching for sweets, I sauteed some peaches:

Sweet Peaches

• 2 sliced peaches
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tbsp butter
• Optional: 1 tbsp good rum, vanilla ice cream
  

1. Add sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (and rum if you chose) to sliced peaches. Let them "marinade" for about 20 minutes. I had fresh peaches that were about to go bad, so I used them. I suppose canned would work, but fresh is best!
2. Melt the butter in a saute pan.
3. Add peaches to pan.
4. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until they are soft.


Overall: Yeah, it cured my sweet tooth. I wish I was 21 so I could go get some rum to cook with. Or I had some vanilla ice cream to top. Or had some flour and other ingredients to make like a cobbler. But it was yummy, and I had the rest the next morning in some yogurt and granola.

On another note, I'm TRYING to work on my photographing of pictures. The next few posts are actually scheduled so they don't reflect my attempts at taking pretty pictures.
