White Chocolate Chip & Cranberry Cookies

I was craving a cookie but didn't want an old fashion chocolate chip, or something over powering with sweetness. I had all of these ingredients just sitting in my pantry waiting for me to use to make something quick & delicious. 

I would say they're healthy for you since i used dried cranberries...but i feel like that would be pushing it :-P

Ingredients:
-3/4 cup softened butter
-3/4 cup brown sugar
-1/2 cup white sugar
-1 egg
-2t vanilla
-1 3/4 cup flour
-1/4t salt
-1/2t baking soda
-1 cup dried cranberries
-1 cup white chocolate chips

Lets get this party started:
Preheat oven to 350

Blend butter, sugars, egg & vanilla until smooth. 

Stir in flour, salt & baking soda (it gets pretty stiff).

Add white chocolate chips & cranberries. (at this point i just hand stirred everything in instead of having the dough get stuck to the whisks on the electric mixer).

Drop by rounded teaspoons on baking sheet, space them about 2 inches apart. 

Bake for 12-13 minutes. 

Yield: 24 cookies 

Pretty quick & easy huh? Took me less than 20 minutes to get them all together & into the oven!

Enjoy!

Fried Rice

Ya'll need an easy, delicious dinner for the week night that feeds a lot? Make some of this fried rice. It's so easy and makes a great side or just a meal all in it's own. I made pork chops to go along with it and cut it into chunks and just threw them in at the end and it worked out perfectly. But I took just the leftover fried rice to work with me the next couple of days after that for lunch and I couldn't get enough. Good tip before you start though is to cook the rice the night before and let it chill in the fridge. Cuts out a lot of time waiting for it to cook and chill. Minimal ingredients with great flavor! I had pretty much everything I needed in my fridge and pantry (other than green onions) to make this. Ingredients: 2T butter, divided 3 eggs, whisked 2 medium carrots, diced into small pieces 1 small onion, diced into small pieces 3 cloves of garlic, minced 1 cup of frozen peas, thawed 4 cups cooked and chilled rice 3T soy sauce 2T oyster sau...
