Have you ever had the opportunity to use a Woolzies Dryer Ball?
Well, if you get your name in the drawing you just may get that opportunity.
So to fill you in on my experience with the Woolzies Dryer Ball 
I will tell you a little about it.
I have washed everything from underwear to bed sheets.
The static is minimal.
Your clothing is not covered in perfume smells from dryer sheets.
And everything comes out of the dryer extra, extra soft.
The ultimate test was bed sheets and fleece blankets.
The bed sheets were so soft to sleep in, and the fleece blankets,
well, let's just say I wanted to wrap myself in all of them.

My Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies

 These chocolate chip cookies are usually begged for.
Yup, my significant other loves these cookies.
For sure a "win a man over through their stomach" cookie.
They are so simple to put together too.
 Sean, my significant other, always asks, 
"Can I eat them till I get sick?"
He loves them that much.
Whip some of these up for your family to see what kind of reaction YOU get.
I guarantee they will love them.

My Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies

4 1/2 c. bread flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 c. butter, soft
1 1/4 c. sugar
1 1/4 c. light brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 TBS vanilla
1 (12 oz.) pkg. semi sweet chocolate chips
Can add chopped walnuts if you like

Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
Combine flour, baking soda, and baking powder in a medium size bowl. Set aside.
Combine butter, sugar, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla and continue beating until well combined. Turn to low speed and add flour mixture slowly until everything is incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips. 
Scoop dough with 1/4 c. sized scoop (I use my largest cookie scoop) and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-14 minutes. Leave cookies sit on baking sheet for about 5 minutes before removing to cookie cooling rack.

Weight Watchers Monday ~ Greek Pita

 Are you a Greek food fanatic like I am?
Whenever I see or hear Greek I get all giddy....
I love this recipe. 
It is so simple and satisfying.
Let me walk you through the steps to putting this fabulous pita together.
 I cooked my chicken and de-boned it. 
I cooked a large family size package of chicken legs.
Only 3 c. of chicken was used in this recipe, so I had enough leftover for soup.
That recipe will come later.
Anyway, I made the sauce for the pita topping.
2 c. Greek yogurt, plain
Juice of 1/2 of a lemon
3 small garlic cloves, minced
1 TBS chopped fresh cilantro
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix.
 Next, take 1/2 c. of the sauce and stir it into the picked chicken.
Stir until all the chicken is coated.
 Chop 1 cucumber
and tomatoes of your choice.
I used the tri-color grape tomatoes.
Just because I think they're cute......
Place about 1/2-3/4 c. of chicken in your pita.
Sprinkle with tomatoes and cucumber.
There you have it.
Stuff your pita and enjoy. 
Top the pita with a little more sauce and it is out of this world fantastic.
1/2 of a pita is 5 WW points.
This is awesome next to a bowl of low calorie soup.
