We received some more goodies from Great Grandpa's yard
When Great Grandpa gives you apples... Make applesauce!
And that is exactly what we did; however, if you've ever made applesauce then you know how long it takes to peel and chop every single apple. So while I got to work with the knife Munchkin had a healthy snack of (yep you guessed it) apples.
After peeling and chopping the rest is easy...
1. Add to a pot with enough water to cover the bottom
2. Cover and cook on low stirring occasionally until consistency you want
3. Taste and add sugar to taste (will vary depending on type of apple)
Part Two...
As if this wasn't enough fun for a night we also promised Dad some chocolate chip cookies.
I am constantly searching for the perfect chocolate chip cookie (I don't make them often enough so the search continues). However, I found this recipe to try...

Let me just tell you that one of my favorite things to do is bake with the munchkin because she makes it so much fun!
Adding and stirring ingredients...
The funniest part of the night was when I let her taste the batter before we added the eggs (just butter and brown and white sugar) and her was her response. I just wish I would have gotten a video as she was smacking her lips and nodding her head.
All that was left was to spoon onto sheet and bake. If you read the recipe you would say, "but wait, it said to refrigerate overnight" and you would be right. However, we didn't want to disappoint Dad so we vetoed that step.
Not the perfect recipe yet, but your welcome to continue to join us on the search.
