Doug and I had a visit from our soon-to-be-newest member of the family.
Can't wait for it to be official.
John and our niece, Lyndie, are getting married.
And it will be in October!
John graciously brought some chocolate chip cookies he made.
They were wonderful, so he jotted down the recipe for me to share
and make!
We ate them so fast that this was the only picture I got,
and I am quite sure that I had to grab this out of someone's hand before they ate it.
They were golden brown and crisp, but not too dry.
And they are healthy... made with Honey.
I will translate this recipe.
- 1-1/4 cups flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 stick butter, (1/2 cup)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Cream honey, sugar, and butter together.
Mix in drys.
Add chocolate chips.
Bake 18-20 minutes @ 300 degrees.
One of the best CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES ever!

10 Health Benefits of Honey
I will be sure to make Doug and I a batch of these cookies with this
raw honey John gave to us.
Honey Facts
⦁ There are over 25,000 species of bees worldwide.
⦁ An adult worker bee's lifespan is about 45 days during summer months.
⦁ A typical Bee colony consists of 30,000 to 60,000 bees.
⦁ Male bees are called "Drones" and they do not have stingers, their only purpose is to mate with the queen bee.
⦁ A queen bee can sting multiple times without dying.
⦁ 99% of the bee colony is made up of female bees known as worker bees.
⦁ The average honey bee's wings flap over 183 times per second.
⦁ Bees have an excellent sense of smell which allows them to find their hive.
⦁ Honey Bees actually dance when they return to the hive to tell the other bees where the flowers are.
⦁ Honey is the ONLY food source produced by an insect that humans eat.
⦁ Worker honey bees transform the floral nectar the gather into honey by adding enzymes to the nectar and reducing the moisture.
Love Birds!
Can't wait for the big day!
