Peanut Butter Cookies

This is a very easy cookie recipe. It is gluten and dairy free so everyone in my family can enjoy it. We found this recipe when my YD was undergoing tests regarding her stomach. The doctor thought she may be allergic to gluten (she's not) so I went searching for good gluten free recipes. It is so good we use it anyway. I have everything in my pantry to make this.

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg

 Mix well. I make 12 big balls and then crisscross with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes on a greased cookie sheet. I rotate the tray half way through the cooking time. Let them cool on the tray or they will break. Then take them off.

*We have done some additions to this recipe. We have used chunky peanut butter with them. Do 1/2 chunky and 1/2 creamy as just chunky didn't hold together well. We have also added chocolate chips which makes the chocolate lover in me happy. 

 Enjoy!

Hubby and I went away for a long weekend with another couple. We would walk down to the lake everyday. It was so quiet. The only noise was the ice cracking. It was so peaceful. I can't wait to go back.

I Quit My Job!

I have been working at a movie theater for the past 13 years. I started when my YD was still at home. I had been babysitting a friend's daughter and she had started school. We needed the money so I got a part time job there for nights and weekends. It worked for us because Hubby watched the kids. I didn't have to pay anyone and I didn't want a stranger watching my kids. When YD started school, I transitioned from nights to days. But I still had to work weekends and holidays.  The movie theater is open 365 days a year. We have only been closed on 1 day since I started, Super Storm Sandy and that was because the state mandated it. We are open every holiday, every snow storm, everyday. When I took the job, I knew that. I signed paperwork saying I would work weekends and holidays, that I had a reliable car and could get there in any weather.  13 years is a long time. I have seen many changes there over the years, some good, mostly bad. There are only 7 people in the theater...
