when it snows...bake cookies

Last Sunday and Monday we had a big snowstorm.

We ended up with about 13 inches of snow!

This is what happens when you are cozy at home during a snowstorm. 

Chocolate Saltine Cracker Cookies

Ingredients:

1 1/2 - sleeves saltine crackers (approximately) 
1 1/4 - cups unsalted butter,  best to not use margarine
1 1/4 - cup dark brown sugar
1 - 12 oz package  semi-sweet chocolate chips 

Directions: 
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil that has been sprayed with a bit of non stick spray.

Arrange crackers on sheet in one layer. In a medium sized saucepan melt the butter and the brown sugar.

Stir often and bring to a full rolling boil.  Boil the mixture for  3 minutes.  

Pour over the saltines and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips all over the caramel/cracker mixture. Set aside to cool.  Refrigerate for about one hour. Break into pieces.

sad, yet thankful

I haven't felt like updating my blog, but feel I should update for those who may not know. December 22 was a very sad day for our family.   That was the day my Dad went to be with the Lord, he is no longer here with us on this earth.  I miss him so much, wish I could talk to him and give him another hug. 
But I am thankful for the time I had with him and all of the memories. 
I am thankful I will see him again, as this life on earth is only temporary.
 I am thankful that my eternal home is in heaven, where I know my Dad is now. 
I am thankful for the legacy of faith and trust in God that my Dad left us with.  A legacy I will pass on. 

Please keep my precious Mom and our family in your prayers.

 God bless you
