Chocolate Chip Cookies Made With... Ice Cream?

The first thing that I ever learned how to bake on my own was chocolate chip cookies. Man, have I made a lot of them! I would always use the recipe from the back of the Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip bag and nothing else, because why mess or change a recipe when it's already so. so yummy? Then came along Pinterest. It opened my eyes to all sorts of different ways to make chocolate chip cookies even better! Like this little gem I found; ice cream chocolate chip cookies by Picky Palate. After trying this recipe, I never looked back. Gone is the recipe from a bag, and "Hello" to an excuse for me to by ice cream!

Sharing What I Love

(My wonderful family at my brother's wedding.          ^ im right there)

For as long as I can remember, I've always loved being in the kitchen. I would be in there with my little toy pots and pans making "soup" out of discarded veggie scraps from dinner or flowers and plants that I picked outside. It sounds disgusting, and I know it was, but I wanted to make food liked my parents did. It was always (and still is) delicious! My Mom's homemade clam chowder, chicken enchiladas, my dads BBQ ribs, pulled pork..etc. What ever they made, it was always good! Another thing I can remember is they didn't just make it because they can, they made it to bring us all together as family to the table.
