My dear friend Angie asked for my Chocolate chip dessert recipe.. It is super easy and perfect for the upcoming summer season!!!

1 package Chips Ahoy chocolate chip cookies (DO NOT GET THE SOFT KIND)

Pour some milk into a bowl. Take a chocolate cookie, dip it in the milk, and place it is a glass dish. Do this until the bottom of the dish is covered. Then spread a layer of cool whip over the cookies. Repeat with a cookies dipped in milk layer then more Cool Whip. Keep repeating until the dish is full, saving a few cookies to crumble for the top.

Just a Taste....& Chocolate Delight

A few years ago, my church published nn AWESOME cookbook! It was a lot of work but oh so worth it.. I was on the committee, and actually came up with the idea for the cookbook, (You can check the Hartsville Messenger Archives if you dont believe me, there was an article in there, and I have a laminated copy that Brown Penninton Atkins Funeral home sent me as well) Anyway, when I am in a mood to cook, that is the book that I grab the most. We have some amazing cooks in our church, and we love to eat. In fact, two of our church members own their own restaurants, Westwood BBQ and Miriam's Kitchen. Since I am in a cooking funk, I decided to revisit my old faithful cookbook and share some of the recipes from it. I also thought that Mothers day is on Sunday, so what better to start with than dessert...

Chocolate Delight
1 c. All Purpose Flour
1 stick Margarine, melted
1/2 c. nuts chopped
1 8 oz pkg. Cream Cheese
1 c. Powdered Sugar
3 c. Cold Milk
2 4 oz. pkgs Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix
1 (12 oz ) ctn Cool Whip

Mix together flour, margarine, and nuts. Press into the bottom of 9 X 13 baking dish. Bake at 300 degrees for 15 minutes. Mix together cream cheese, powdered sugar and half of the cool whip. Spread on baked crust. Mix milk and pudding mix and spread over cream cheese mixture. Spread remaining cool whip on top. Chill for 6 hours, Cut into squares. May add garnish of 4-6 crumbled oreo cookies if desired.

Cooking Funk

I am in a cooking funk... I don't know why, but I am. I don't want to cook, or even think about what I am going to cook. I don't even know what I want to eat at this point. I went to the grocery store the other day and I think I walked around in circles trying to think of something to cook for supper. I ended up buying a Peppercorn and Garlic Pork tenderloin. Put it in the crock pot, and voila! It was easy and delicious. I threw some pasta salad together and that was supper (along with some Green beans) I didn't have to cook yesterday thanks to the leftovers from Saturday night, and now I am back to having to try to think of something to cook... HELP! I need some new recipes!!!
