2/25/11- Dinner!

Hey guys! So the on the menu today is FAJITAS! I don't always love mexican food, but this is adaptable and easily reinvented. The traditional fajita has slightly spicy meat and the standard sour cream- tomato-onion-and-cheese topping. But, because we don't have sour cream tonight, I've decided to try something different. I spread goat cheese on a flour tortilla and then piled on the goodies. Steak, tomatos, sauteed onions, and guacamole with extra extra lime!
For dessert, my sister has decided to make chocolate chip cookies. Although we love them, nestle cookies are not what she wants to try tonight. She is using a recipe from a child's cookbook, titled "Snack Attack:Return of the Munchies." This book entails many recipes for quick, easy, and healthy recipes that kids, with the help of their parents, can make. The recipe that she is using is for cherry chocolate chip cookies, but, being her age, she has decided to leave the cherries out. This recipe is very similar to the nestle recipe, but it is much smaller, with a larger ratio of cherries, which is supposed to give it the appeal of being healthy. One thing I found interesting about the batter is that it is slightly eggier than the nestle version. The finished project is pretty good. They seem to be flatter than traditional nestle cookies. and the cook time was slightly over what it needs to be. They are basically the same as nestle cookies, but the base of the  cookie has a stranger texture than the nestles. Overall, I would say these are a good alternative to the nestle recipe, but, if you can, I'd go with the nestle.
Tonight's dinner was an easy, delicious meal and I hope you try it!
