Ike has been sick now with a high fever since Saturday morning. He has missed school yesterday and now today. Poor little Lew has had a runny snotty nose since last week already. Kooper and Jesse seem to be just fine ... actually Jesse was quite excited to go to preschool this morning and get away from the sickies at home!
Now all of you Momma's out there know that we are NOT allowed to be sick!! Unfortunately my body is in disagreement with that statement! I woke up yesterday with a bad headache, sore throat and cough. Now the frustrating part as you well know is that breakfast still needs to be made, fed and cleaned up ... lunch and supper the same ... diapers still need to be changed ... laundry still needs to be washed/folded/put away and fights still need to be defused!!
Even though we were sickies yesterday I was on the hunt for another perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe and found something different than the norm with molasses!! The hard part was keeping that cookie dough safe and hidden in the fridge for a whole 24 hours! Thankfully the kids forgot about it and I was unable to chisel a chunk off without the kids catching me! Anyway ... they look amazing sitting on their cookie sheets straight out of the oven!! Here is the recipe ... do your best to wait and let the dough rest in the fridge cause they do look thick and amazing! http://www.injennieskitchen.com/2010/03/chocolate-chip-cookies.html My only change was that I did not have chocolate discs ... I just used good old semi-sweet 'Chipits'.
Don't they look amazing!! Come over for a visit and you can have some :)
Pictures to follow of my monkey's eating them!
