So today was a busy one so far and it's only 1:30 pm! I took the kids to the local grocery store so we could return many bottles and cans. I wanted to teach them about recycling and the money part of the whole thing. Molly did the plastic (standing in a shopping cart - she LOVED IT...Zachary did the cans, HE LOVED IT! I did the glass. All in all, great time! Then we went to a playdate which was fun! Then farmers market (not too impressed) and of course the dollar store....lots of great "school supplies" there! I am going to make a homemade salsa for tacos tonight while the baby is sleeping...tomorrow off to the beach!
May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
