cookie notes

As much as I love Quaker's Vanishing Oatmeal Cookie recipe, sometimes you want something other than raisins, you know? So I came across these variations that build on the classic oatmeal cookies. This month I decided to try the toasted coconut and pineapple. First, I couldn't get my coconut to toast evenly (probably using the wrong apparatus) so I had to toss the burnt pieces and use what was left. Then I didn't chop up enough dried pineapple chunks so they probably didn't get spread out evenly in the cookie dough. Next time I'll use the whole bag.

But when I did get a cookie with all of flavors coming together just right, it totally worked. And no, my toasted coconut did not burn when put back in the oven in the cookies. I was worried about that.

fun on a bun...

Technically, the bun is optional but I just have to recommend these Spice-Rubbed Chicken Breasts.  I thought it sounded like a different kind of chicken sandwich for me and I'd never made a rub before. I have plenty of recipes but none which triggered an immediate response of, "I must try this." Also, I'd never purchased cumin before. It smells like the primary ingredient in a packet of taco seasoning, so you can see why it would need to be balanced out with brown sugar. Actually, all of the spices work well together, even the little tang of thyme. I think I'll be trying it on salmon next.
