When my mom was going through treatment for breast cancer, her cousin gave her an engraved One Day at a Time bracelet like this one. It was a daily reminder to live in the moment, and take each day as it came. My mom reminded me of this bracelet the other day, and said she […]

So maybe this is the only peanut butter chocolate chip cookie recipe I’ve ever made, but I do think it’s the best. Crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside — and best of all, I LOVE that the recipe says to use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop out the dough. […]
