Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies

BC shared a classic chocolate chip cookie recipe with Maggie. I bought Maggie the best dark chocolate chips I could find at Bulk Barn. I also picked up some pecans and roasted them slightly.

 Maggie put a lot of effort into baking these cookies. They didn't spread out quite like we thought they would, but they still tasted delicious. The pecans gave the cookies a nice crunch but were not overpowering. The chocolate chips were worth every penny. They definitely brought the cookies up a few notches.

The cookies didn't last long. BC ate most of them in two sittings. Here's Maggie with the last two.

Also, thanks JW for these pretty flowers! We'll take good care of them!

Bedtime Reading

The Quatchis are big on reading and this has rubbed off on Spencer. We recently finished The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo and Secret Daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda. Spencer is currently reading Nudge by Cass Sunstein and Richard Thaler. Let us know of any other books we should add to our roster!
