Cookie Dough for Ice Cream or Snacking

By -


I made this recipe a few weeks ago as an ice cream topping and everyone thought it tastes like regular, yummy cookie dough. It was great that I could partake of some of it too since there are no eggs! (I try not to eat raw eggs while pregnant.) It was also delicious to eat all by itself!

Recipe and photo are found here.

3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup milk
1 cup flour
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips

In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar and butter until smooth. Stir in vanilla and milk. Mix in the flour, salt and chocolate chips until well blended. Chill in the refrigerator or the freezer (I prefer the freezer.)

After I let my dough chill for a while, I tried separating it into bite size pieces. I still kept it in the freezer and liked the consistency it kept. It wasn't too hard and kept it from being too soft.

    We made something similar a while ago and felt like it would make a great ice cream filler/topping. but didn't entirely love snacking on it because it was very rich.

    We enjoyed snacking (granted... we probably eat sweet things 10 times as often as you guys do. haha) but we ate just a few small-ball size at a time. It was what was left over from our ice cream mix-in.

Lentil Vegetable Soup

Josh got me to try some lentil soup at Corner Bakery. I was nervous, because I have not liked lentils in the past, but in the past few years I have grown to love many things I hadn't previously. And I liked it! So I immediately went on the hunt for a "copy cat" recipe, and though I have no idea if this is in fact the same, all three of us enjoyed it!  Lentil Vegetable Soup 2/3 c green lentils 1/3 c orange lentils (you can really use whatever lentils you wants) 1 lg onion, roughly chopped 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped 1 lg tomato, chopped 1-2 carrots, diced 1/2 c mushrooms 1/2 bunch spinach or 2-3 big leaves of kale, chopped fine 1/4 c corn 2-4 c vegetable/chicken broth S&P to taste Combine and wash all lentils and set aside. In a pot, heat some olive oil and saute onions, carrots, and garlic till onions are translucent. Add the mushrooms, and some salt. Saute a few minutes until they get soft, then add the tomatoes. Cover and let t

Galette des Rois

January 6 is the Epiphany, a day to celebrate when the 3 kings visited Baby Jesus.  I think it is a Catholic holiday.  I learned about it while in France and love the tradition of making a galette des rois/Kings Cake.   The tradition goes you make the cake with a hidden bean inside.  The youngest person at the table sits under the table.  As a slice of cake is plated, the youngster names who gets that slice.  (make sure you slice the cake so you have only as many slices as you do people eating the cake)  Whoever finds the hidden bean is the King or Queen for the evening and wears a crown.  This year, I think I improved my recipe, with more almond filling than I normally add.  I thought it was going to end up messy but instead it made it yummier.  I had some extra filling and decided to make a mini kings cake with the extra puff pastry.  I added some fresh raspberries which tasted quite yummy all warm in the cake.  Though I think I prefer it without the berries.  Try it out, it is reall
