What's For Dinner?

I'm asked that question almost daily. Doesn't every mom get asked that? And if most mom's are like me, it's 5:00 pm and I don't have an answer for that question. Some days I'm very organized and I have something ready way before dinner and all I have to do is throw it in the oven and we're good to go or better yet, I have something in the slow cooker.

I was talking to some women at church this last week (I don't actually go to class anymore I just roam the halls chasing Van, 2 months to nursery and counting!!!!) We were talking about not knowing what to make for dinner. I had jokingly suggested that we should have someone designated to call us and tell us what we should be making. That would be much easier than trying to be creative and please everyone all the time. So I decided that I'm going to start posting what we had for dinner. I may even take pictures. If it looks good to you then you can have an idea for your dinner! And maybe you can give me some suggestions too. Of course I'll also include recipes. Oh, and I'll definately fill you all in on the goodies I make. (That's the easy food for me to decide:)

Love to all and happy cooking!!!

*These are the cookies I made last night. They are super soft and yummy!

Soft Baked Butterscotch-Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour (can use all-purpose instead)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
8 tablespoons organic trans-fat free shortening (I use Spectrum Organic)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3.4 ounce box of instant butterscotch pudding
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
3/4 cup butterscotch chips
3/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350

In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

In a large bowl, mix together butter, shortening and sugars until well combined. Mix in the butterscotch pudding mix. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until completely combined after each. Mix in vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in butterscotch and chocolate chips. Using a tablespoon cookie scoop, drop the dough onto parchment lined baking sheets. Bake until the edges are golden, but the center still looks slightly underdone - about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and place the baking sheet on a wire rack to cool for 2 minutes before removing the cookies to a rack to finish cooling.
