My middle son Elijah can't stand anything chocolate. He has refused to eat chocolate since he was a baby - so much so that when given chocolate milk he would spit it out, and then look at you as if you've committed a major crime. I'm not sure where he gets this from - everyone else in the family LOVES chocolate. Maybe he was switched at birth? Just kidding. Since our other sons were out for the weekend I decided to make Elijah one of his favorite cookies - white chocolate chip. He loves these - and ate almost ALL of them. I use the basic Toll House recipe and substitute the brown chips for white.
I've also been working on my food photography. I find the art of food photography fascinating. I didn't realize how much prep work goes into getting that perfect shot. I have found that my pictures come out looking the best with natural sunlight. I had to take about 16 shots before I got the two pictured below. Enjoy!
