2011 has been a slow start for me...
I know what your thinking ... yes ... Your WAAAAY Behind Girl.
2011 has been a different start for me..not sure where to begin.
Holidays just flew by. Thankful for a blessed Christmas & New Year's with my family.
I hope you also had a blessed Christmas and New Year's.
Back in October, I was able to visit my adorable Nieces :) Of course,while I was on
duty watching them, while Mom and Dad had a night out to celebrate their anniversary. I got to enjoy baking with my Niece Reagan,3 years old. We made the "TRADITIONAL" NESTLÉ® Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookies. Which brings me back, waaaay back to 7th grade,when my friend Teri introduced me to this recipe. I've done a lot of variations through my years, but this still is one of my favorites!
