My day at home

On my day off I made chocolate chip cookies with oatmeal and walnuts. They were pretty good if I do say so myself! ( I put the recipe below)
Chocolate chip cookies
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teas. vanilla
1 1/8 cup flour
1/2 teas. baking soda
pinch of salt
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup chopped walnuts ( or more!)
cream together butter and sugars.
Add the egg and vanilla and beat til combined.
Add wisked dry ingredients to the bowl and mix
stir in chocolate, oatmeal and walnuts.
Form into 24 cookies and bake for 10-15 min at 350 F


Eat these slightly warm with a cold glass of milk, or else...
You may feel like you worked all day on your day off ,and never got to enjoy the day.


















I also finished my tomato sauce . It's not quite as
flavorful as I would have hoped ,but it has the taste of Summer that will be heavenly in the middle of winter.
I've been waiting so long for fresh tomatoes . The taste is worth the wait.....what a simple and wonderful blessing!






And I'll leave you with a beautiful Iowa sunset.
Go make yourself some cookies, pour a big glass of milk
put your feet up and enjoy.
( No really! I mean it GO! you can thank me later)
