Welcome!

Welcome to our food blog! We're a bunch of gals who like to share our recipes, our cooking successes (and failures!), and our ideas. What better way than in a blog?!

I'm excited to get this started!

I guess I'll start off with the Best Chocolate Chip Cookie. I've tried who knows how many recipes for chocolate chip cookies. They're all good, but these are my family's favorite. We're all about soft cookies at our house & these fit the bill! No crunchy cookies for us :)
