Chocolate Chip Cookies

November 8, 2025 by Linda Watson Leave a Comment

These chocolate chip cookies are pretty much perfect. Think melting chocolate, buttery dough, crisp outside, and tender inside. This was one of my prized, supporters-only recipes, but I’m now sharing it with everyone. Enjoy! Update November 2025: I’m changing the recipe for cookies that are easier to make, cheaper, and just as good. Use a […]

Cherry Cobbler

A glass dish of cherry cobbler

This glorious Cherry Cobbler is based on my Potluck-Pride Peach Cobbler. Wowowow is it good! I should have just put on the music and pitted some cherries for this years ago.

Grilled Eggplant

eggplant slices grilling on a George Foreman grill

I scored a George Foreman grill at a thrift shop for three bucks. I love how quickly it grills vegetables, especially eggplant. I eat them hot off the grill as a side dish. These tender grilled eggplant slices would be excellent layered with tomato sauce for eggplant casserole or eggplant subs. About the George Foreman […]
