Domestically Devious

You know when you haven't done laundry in a little while and it all sort of piles up? You keep thinking "I am so going to do that today!", but there it sits. That is how I have become to relate to blogging.

* Although I am perfectly domesticated and my laundry is ALWAYS done! Yeah sure.



Life is great! Now that Hy is back working in town, we are spending more time together than ever! Loving it! Which means that blogging is not my top priority! I have been working lots and loving it. I have also been having lots of allergies and related naps!



Sexy right?! Haha

Something I have been doing is working on different recipes for Peach Days festival. One I have been toying around with is:

Browned Butter, Toasted Coconut, Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Super long name, totally worth it!

It's a pretty simple recipe, but the outcome is so fantastic. Too fantastic not to share. I'm THAT nice!

Start with a little prep:

Toast the coconut



Brown the butter



Cream the sugars and browned butter for a couple of minutes, and even though it looks grainy it is done!



Yup, grainy! Note the gorgeous red mixer my H gave me for mothers day a few years ago!



Add in the eggs and vanilla (I prefer pure Mexican vanilla)



Mix it for a few minutes, until it is dreamy



Add in all of the dry



Get it mostly together before adding in your extras



Bake and then drool



They are crunchy and chewy and so totally tasty.

But definitely don't share them, because you will surely regret it. Don't tell your spouse, don't bring some to work, and don't even send them in a package to your perfect 5 year old nephew! Hide them in your pockets, turn off your light, and head toward the nearest closet where the shame can't find you. Trust me; you can thank me later.

If you want the original recipe it is on JoytheBaker.com who may now be my new best friend and pen pall. I won't be sharing my recipe however!

Now the real reason you actually read my blog




Rueger, who in a hot minute will be turning 8 months old, is getting pretty darn close to the 70lb mark. He is my baby.

*also... Hy got me a new guitar! Oh yes.

I hope you have a fantastic week!
