Week 3: Whats cookin' good lookin'

 For the past 11 years (technically the better half of my life) I have been hopelessly trying to bake the perfect chocolate chip cookie....the cookie that every glass of milk wishes would be bathed in it and with one bite people ask for your recipe....I want to bake some that not only look like a million bucks but taste even better.....truthfully if they weren't flat and had the tiniest  bit of taste I would be thrilled beyond words.

But to this day after numerous failed attempts the Thomas Edison in me  keeps on trying....persevering if you will....

Here I am at 22 a wife mother and with a college degree under my belt attempting my semi annual "making chocolate chip cookies that people in my neigborhood would actually want to eat" event. 

I followed the recipes exactly (I even went as far as having the little mister and The Husband hop out of the kitchen so these cookies that have been standing in between me and being a real women would have my full concentration;) and yet as you can see below in the photo of the ever so lovely flat tasteless cookies that I..............must have used a crumby recipes and will have to try again in another six months....;)

So it may not come as a shock to you lovelies that I have never been mistaken for Betty Crocker or Paula Dean when I am in the kitchen. That is why this weeks "for the love of man" challenge is going to be just that...a challenge ;) This week I am putting dinner on the table...with my glass plates....

My first meal was tonight...I wasn't exactly wearing stilettos and pearls more like my yoga pants and tennis shoes... while I cooked dinner but the fact that I cooked was definitely made me feel like some type of domestic goddess! The Husband even asked for seconds!! We are on to something good here at the Johnson household.

I have decided to write my menu a week in advance and have been doing theme nights. Yay for "Taco Tuesday!" or mexican food every Tuesday for the rest of my life. Followed by "Wednesday Lite" then "Crock pot Thursday" because who really wants to cook on a Thursday anyway?
