World's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Thanks to my sister Kathryn for finding this new recipe online somewhere. I like it better than the recipe that was my favorite for years! Be sure to add PLENTY of chocolate chips!

3/4 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup butter (not margarine) slightly softened

1 Tbsp vanilla

2 large eggs slightly beaten

3 cups flour

3/4 tsp baking soda

3/4 tsp salt

3 cups chocolate chips

Drop onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in 350 degree preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The trick is to take them out slightly before you think they're done, and let them sit on the hot pan for a minute before taking them off.

Tonkatsu Chicken

This is a fun and easy dinner that we like a lot at our house. It's kind of the designated last-minute meal at our house: it's fancy enough but doesn't take much time or effort. This is how I make it:

White Rice done in the rice cooker

Tonkatsu Sauce- made by Kikkoman and found near sweet n sour sauce in the oriental isle.

Frozen chicken breasts- as many as you need

Place frozen chicken in a frying pan with a little oil, on medium high. Season with a little salt and pepper or garlic powder, or italian seasoning. Brown on both sides, then immediately put the lid on and turn the heat down to low. After about 15 minutes check to see if chicken is nearly cooked through the middle. When it is, remove the lid, turn the heat back up to med high and cook most of the liquid off (you can slice the chicken up first if you want it that way).

Serve with a little Tonkatsu Sauce over the chicken and rice. Also serve a vegetable like broccoli and/or a salad.
