If a 3 year old ever asks to make cookies with you, do NOT let them start looking through your recipe binder because they will most likely pick an involved recipe.  Not that this recipe is super involved – but when dealing with a 3 year old, chocolate chip cookies are a much easier project. .. or so I thought.

Ends up having an extra pair of hands was helpful and despite the fact that I have made these cookies dozens of times, this was by far the most memorable!  And guess what… the clean-up wasn’t even that bad (the perks of a kid into cleaning!).

Weekly Menu #12

June 3, 2013

As I find I want to spend more time outside and less in the kitchen, I’ve discovered a few more time-conscious meals!

Chicken Paillards with Arugula Salad – fresh, tasty and cheap! Make sure to whisk THE WHOLE time when making the sauce to keep it from getting clumpy!

Chicken Paillard 028 036

Thai Beef Salad with Mango Spring Rolls – The hardest part of this meal was the prep… but aside from chopping veggies and washing lettuce this meal was quick and uber tasty!

Thai Salad

Buffalo Chicken Pizza – I love buffalo chicken anything, but often find pizzas of that nature to be super greasy.  Making it at home and eating it fresh from the oven made that a non-factor and made it the perfect lunch for the next day!

Watermelon Margaritas

watermelon margaritas

My little sister’s concocted this killer poolside treat and today I will be sharing it with you all!

Watermelon Margarita aka the Kendall Jenner

(FYI all drinks my family or I have “invented” are named after celebrities that share the same name as the inventor… unfortunately we can’t think of any celebrities named Kendall other than Miss Jenner which destroys my mom’s soul.  Does anyone have any other suggestions…?)

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons agave
  • 1/3 cup lime juice
  • 4 cups cubed frozen watermelon (slice and store in the freezer on a cookie sheet for a few hours)
  • 1 1/4 cup tequila
  • Ice (if needed)

Directions:

Blend on high in a blender.  Adjust ingredients according to your preference.  Drink immediately!
