Friday night our church had a worship benefit to help victims of the flood. I had to miss it because our kids were sick. Bummer. Anyway as part of the fund raiser they did a bake sale as well. Yumm.. I knew I could help out with this!! Any excuse to measure, splash, crack, sprinkle, stir, drizzle, smell, taste and present! I would love to be a baker! I seriously want to take a cake decorating class so i can make something amazing like the cake in my previous post. But anyway.. Where was I? Oh.. So once again I made chocolate covered pretzel rods. I must admit it wasn't as much fun this time around making them without Jenna and Ali, but they sure turned out cute. The second thing I made were my famous chocolate chip cookies. I take all the credit but really the recipe comes from a good friend from high schools mom. You should try them for yourself..they are the best chocolate chip cookies i have ever had!!!


To make A.T's Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies here's whatcha do:



In a BIG bowl combine-


1 1/2 sticks of butter- melted for 20 seconds

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

1T vanilla

2T milk

1 egg


In another bowl combine-


2 3/4 cup flour

1t baking soda

1t salt


Slowly add the dry mixture to the big bowl until completely mixed. After mixed, fold 1 bag of chocolate chips in. Now this is my FAVORITE part people, the recipe says "Bake at 375 for 8 1/2 minutes." Not quiet sure what that half of a minute does. But it must be crucial because these cookies are abslutely de-lish!!

one of my FAVORITE things about Tennessee.

Nashville floods- May 1st & 2nd 2010

13.5in over two days
this means 25% of our yearly rainfall in
two days




worst flooding in decades

pictures of Nashville

Gaylord Opryland Hotel had to evacuate

600 water rescues

The river downtown rose to 52 feet-
the highest since 1937

Many people were evacuated, lost power, their homes, and belongings. We were so lucky to have not been affected in any big way by this crazy storm! Thought I would share pictures of the madness with you, if you have missed it on the news. Nashville could still use prayer as they begin the clean up process and people try to get back on their feet.
