"Cookie Tips!"
"I used to struggle with the perfect cookie. Until I got lessons from my mom of course and we all know that moms know everything right? here's some Cookie Tips that she taught me; 1. Put parchment paper on top of the cookie sheet, this will prevent the bottom of your cookie from burning and turning a yucky black but helping it to be a perfect light brown. 2. Pull the cookies out of the oven just as the edges start to turn a light brown. Because the cookie continues to cook on the sheet when you pull them out of the oven this will help your cookie to stay nice and chewy, if you so please of course. 3. Always let them cool on a wire rack. However, there are some of us who like a nice hot cookie out of the oven (my husband and I). So those are the few little Cookie Tips that I have to share with you. I hope they help and I hope your cookies come out Deliciously Great!"

"Mac & Cheese. No Milk? No Problem!"
"I am remembering my cousin Jessica's post about making sure to take the cheese packet our of the macaroni and cheese box before pouring the noodles into the water...and reminiscent of that, I have another tip to add to the "Mac and Cheese" list.
Always check that you have all ingredients before cooking.
But, if you happen to not have milk, it's actually less of a problem than you might think. We added the right amount of butter, about a 1/2 tablespoon of water...and it worked..JUST FINE. Less calories, and it tasted...really pretty much the same. I think I actually liked it more because it was less runny!
So if you ever find yourself halfway through making some yummy mac and cheese, only to find you don't have any milk...don't give up! You can still enjoy your yummy, over processed, completely fake cheese noodles ;)
