{Kamrin's Photography...}

My sister took some photography classes at CSI and used the kids as models for her projects. She gave Kamrin her old camera and Kamrin would follow her around taking pictures. These pictures are some of her work.......

She wants to enter this one in the fair:

Not too bad for a six year old!

{The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe EVER!!}

You know how as a mother you spend your entire life on a quest trying to find the perfect Chocolate Chip cookie recipe? Well...... I think that I finally found mine so I thought that I should share it with you.

Soooooo....Here's the recipe:

1 cup butter (softened, of course)
1 cup brown sugar
2/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 Tbls. vanilla
3/4 tsp. salt
3 cups flour
1 pkg Milk chocolate chips
1/2 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Then add the dry ingredients. Mix in chocolate chips. Bake at 350 for 11 minutes, Cookies may not look done but take them out anyway and leave them on the hot pan for about ten minutes before placing them on the cooling racks. This recipe makes about 4 dozen cookies with the pampered chef cookie scoop.

**Last time we made these we used a mixture of butterscotch, chocolate and white chocolate chips. They were yummy!!

{Cupcakes}

These are my very favorite cupcakes from my childhood and they are so easy to make. First, prepare your favorite chocolate cake mix. Next, mix 8 oz. Cream cheese that is soft with 1/4 cup sugar and 1 egg. Mix well. Now, add 1/2 cup of miniature chocolate chips to the cream cheese mixture. Then, fill the cupcake wrappers half full of cake batter. Now, add a spoonful of cream cheese mixture on top of the cake batter. Finally, bake per cake mix directions. You can frost if you like or enjoy without it!
