Chocolate and more chocolate..


The good life!

Chocolate goodness
My helper testing the melted
chocolate.
This week for TWD Claudia of Fool For Food http://www.foolforfood.de/index.php chose Chocolate Chunkers. These were a very chocolate filled cookie. I halved the recipe and froze the dough until next week. I am on my taper for the marathon http://www.usafmarathon.com/ this week and am avoiding extra sugar and sweets.
This is dough is mainly melted chocolate, chocolate chips, more chocolate and nuts. My daughter helped me make them. We added the peanuts, skor chips and melted dagoba dark chocolate. I omitted the raisins in the cookie. After Anna tried the batter she decided there was too much chocolate in them. My kids must take after there Dad because I have never tasted anything with too much chocolate before. I can't wait until next week to try these cookies.
We had severe wind storms on Sunday and the schools have been without power for the week. That means no school for the kiddos. I am hoping that life will be back to normal in the morning.

Trying New Things

This past year has been a year of change. We moved from a huge running community to an area that does not have the biking and running trails...
