Although busy, June has been treating my kitchen ego pretty well so far. I “knocked it out of the ballpark” with my chicken enchiladas last Monday and DIY salads came just when we needed a break from cooking and “heavy” food. To top it off, my sourdough starter is actually capturing yeast! It’s an exciting moment!
Anyone else captured yeast from thin air? How cool is that?!
I’m anticipating this week to be our busiest of the month. In addition to the meals below, I was recruited to make additional treats for the kids during Vacation Bible School and the dads in our church for Father’s Day. You’ll see my baking plans at the end of the menu. Here’s what’s cooking this week!

My husband and I were just talking about cookies.
Hubby, “You never make cookies. I like cookies. Oatmeal chocolate chip are my favorite, you know chocolate chips instead of raisins. And mmm…I also love peanut butter. You would make me feel really special if you could come up with an oatmeal chocolate chip peanut butter cookie. Hint, hint.”
Me, “Okay honey.”
Perfect timing! How much peanut butter do you add. Is this the only alteration?
LOL – our husbands sound similar.
So far, adding peanut butter would be the only alteration, but I do need to double check – don’t want to toss out 4 dozen cookies!! I plan to make these Thursday and I’ll update with any other changes to the recipe so your husband can make his own pan disappear too!
The first batch just came out of the oven Theresa. I’ll do a full-write up of the cookies soon, but I’ll give you the update here so your husband doesn’t have to wait.
I added an additional 1/4 cup white sugar, 3/4 cup natural peanut butter after I combined the eggs & vanilla, and finally an additional 1/4 cup flour. The sugar and flour is because my all natural PB is not sweet and kinda runny. You want your pre-flour mixture to be somewhat solid on its own, and the post-flour mixture to be solid as well. Good luck!!
