Iron Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie

Iron Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookies

OK, you all! I have found my new favorite dessert! I’ve never been able to make a good chocolate chip cookie. For some reason no matter what I do they come out flat. Lately, I’ve been putting my dough in an iron skillet and baking it that way and WOW! The crispy and melt in your mouth goodness can’t be defined. The chocolate chips kind of settle towards the bottom of the pan and the cookie dough crisps on the top and is soft and scrumptious underneath.

Our Top Posts of 2015

Whew! 2015 flew by for me. Did it for you, too?

I’ve been taking some time to do a thorough review of my life including my accomplishments and what I need to improve on. I’ve been writing down some things I want to accomplish and have come up with my word of the year which is “Grow”. I really want to stretch myself in 2016. I don’t want to see little accomplishments; I want to see big things happen this year in all aspects of my life. I hope I can do it!

One thing I’m proud of and want to see “grow” is our blog. It is so fun to go back through our posts and to see what others have found useful. So, for ourselves and for you we want to do a review of some of our best posts. Our most popular posts from 2014 continue to do really well. Follow this link to read about those.

Nothing fru fru ya know!

DIY Gold Geometric Art

Did everyone have a wonderful holiday!? I hope so! Ours was just great! It was so nice to be able to be in Utah and have family so close by and not have to pack everything up to head to Utah and do the Christmas thing and then pack everything back up to go home like we’ve done for several years before. 

I have been seeing gold leaf art everywhere! Now I don’t have one of those amazing MINC machines although I would LOVE one, I had to figure out how to do what I want without one. So this is what I came up with.
