Recipes and Cooking Advice

These take maybe 20 minutes to prepare and 8 to 10 minutes to cook. The hardest part is deciding what ingredient's you desire.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease cookie sheet or sheets, makes around 40 cookies.

I start with dry ingredients and stir in a large bowl by hand

1 cup white sugar
1 cup light or dark brown sugar
3 cups rolled oats
2 cups white flour or wheat flour or a cup of each (if wheat use a bit more shortening)
1 teaspoon baking soda a bit more for more fluff but not too much more
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon or all spice or nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt less if desired

Combine ingredients by hand until well blended. Next add,

1 teaspoon vanilla extract or almond extract
2 eggs
1 cup shortening may need more to gather all loose dry ingredients.

Optional:
nuts crushed
pineapple minced
carrots grated

Add extra flour or shortening to mixture to accommodate added goodies
I mix by hand to get a feel for the texture so it is not to dry or damp.
roll into walnut sized balls and place on cookie sheet pressing lightly in the center. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes in the 375 degree oven and presto they are done and delicious.
Many other possibilities exist so add what you like as long as the dough will hold together in the ball shapes.
Let cool about five minutes before transferring to cookie dish.

Okay cooks!

Who has some recipes they want to share that are pretty simple and easy for a guy to make for a romantic dinner?

Do you have anything in mind J? Are there particular things she likes?

I am a fan of the steak and lobster tail - with a fresh Caesar salad - and a good bottle of wine. For bread I do a fresh baguette. All of which is pretty easy to make.

I have a ton of recipes I could share for other things.

Put out some ideas you are tossing around or what her likes are, if you could.

Awesome. Let me think about it and I will post later tonight.

What do you both like to eat? I'd start there. Steak veggies and a nice desert are simple and tasty.

I am making chicken noodle soup today. Do I need to cook the noodles separately?

No. If there is enough liquid in the soup, you should be fine. Of course, you will need to give the noodles sufficient time to cook in the soup. Making from scratch?

Thank you Violette, yes I am cooking from scratch.
I will post how it turns out.
