Yummy Eats: Chewy Nutella Cookies
Hey... me again bringing you this quick blog post on these delicious cookies I made this afternoon. I was browsing through Pinterest (yes I am highly addicted to it) and my son who was supposed to be taking his nap said oh I want to eat that so I told him if he goes to sleep then I would make them for him. He walked right to his rom and just went to sleep.... so when he woke up of course he asked for the cookies, and since I told him I would make them if he went to bed I had to follow through. These were delicious! and the recipe made a boatload of them.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup Nutella
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 ½ cups flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Cream butter with both sugars until light and fluffy. Stir in the egg, vanilla, and Nutella.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt into the wet mixture until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop the dough by tablespoons onto baking sheet and bake for 6-7 minutes.

Hope you have a fabulous week!

Yummy Eats: Salmon with Sauteed Spinach & White Beans
Hey Gals and Guys! How is everyone Saturday so far? I love finding healthy food to eat I had some spinach in the fridge that I needed to use ASAP and I knew that I wanted to have white beans as well so I went to good ol' Pinterest and found an easy recipe for sauteed spinach and white beans. It was an easy to make recipe.
Ingredients:
- 4 strips bacon, diced (I used crumbled bacon bits)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 white onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cans Northern white beans, rinsed and drained
- 4 cups baby spinach leaves, rinsed
- ¼ cup white wine
- salt & pepper, to taste
Directions:
- Heat a large pan over medium heat and cook diced bacon until crispy for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove bacon from pan and place in a small bowl. Leave bacon grease in the pan.
- Add olive oil to the pan and saute diced onion and garlic until soft, approximately 2-3 minutes. Add beans and spinach. Cook until spinach is wilted, approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add white wine to the pan with other ingredients and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve.
Yield: 4 main dish-sized servings or 8 side dish servings
Recipe adapted from Teenage Taste.
For the salmon I just seasoned it with a little bit of salt, sprayed the pan with extra virgin olive oil and cooked each side for 3-4 minutes on each side.
Served it with the spinach and bean side and some lemon. YUMMO!!
