Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Tasty oatmeal cookie! My whole family loved them. We hardly had any left after they cooled completely because everyone kept coming back for another. They were chewy and delicious. I followed others advice and added 1/2 c. extra flour, 1/2 tsp. extra baking soda and cut the salt to about 1/4 tsp. I live in humid part of Texas so my cookies tend to spread out more when I use only butter so I used 1/2 butter & 1/2 shortening. This seems to make my cookies stand up better. I made my cookies about 2 inches each (so it made more than the stated 3 1/2 dozen). I baked them at 325 degrees for 10 min to get cookies that stayed soft & chewy even after they cooled down and did not spread out flat. They looked underdone when I took them out of the oven but I left them on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. They turned out perfectly! I will be making these again soon.

Strawberry Spinach Salad I
I love spinach salad and this one ranks at the top of the list. I followed others advice and cut down on the sugar by more than 1/2. I used balsamic vinegar, which goes so well with the strawberries and added goat cheese. The sweetness from the balsamic made up for the decrease in sugar. It was a big hit with friends and my kids.

Rice Mess
My whole family liked it. I followed others suggestions to spice up the meat a bit with more garlic & some herbs. I switched the mushrooms for corn b/c my kids don't like mushrooms. I used shredded cheddar cheese instead of sliced.
