a non-oatmeal cookie

I'll bet you were thinking I didn't make anything other than oatmeal cookies anymore...well, how about a cookie with raisins? These Soft Molasses Raisin Cookies from King Arthur Flour satisfied my desire for raisins and molasses. I know that sounds obvious but at the time I was going through my cookie recipes I didn't know what I had a taste for--anything but chocolate (I'm getting to that next month).

You know what your typical molasses/ginger cookie looks and tastes like, right? Kind of chewy, not quite a ginger snap? Well, this is not that. Imagine a chocolate chip cookie. Now add molasses. Okay, now remove the chocolate chips and replace them with raisins. That's this cookie. They're so soft and pillowy. It may not seem right but your taste buds will set you straight. Try it!

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.
