3/4 cup butter, room temperature

3/4 cup brown sugar 

1/2 cup granulated sugar

It should make 6 large cookies. Roll balls so they are smooth and place 3 on each sheet. Bake 1 tray at a time, for 17-18 minutes. They will still be soft when they come out so let them cool on the sheet tray for 5-10 minutes. Servings: 6

Pork Chop Casserole -- One of my FAVES 

4 boneless pork chops
2 C. cooked rice (I used a boil in bag one)
1 10.5oz. can cream of mushroom soup
1 C. frozen peas and carrots, thawed
1/4 C. milk
1/2 C. French Fried Onions
1/2 C. grated cheddar cheese
pinch of salt
my house seasoning mix (posted earlier)
1 T. olive oil

In a bowl, combine rice, soup, milk, peas and carrots, 1/4 of the fried onions, 1/4 of the cheese and a pinch of salt. Pour into a well greased 9x9 pan. Heat the oil in a skillet, season the chops with the house seasoning (garlic powder, onion powder and pepper). Fry each chop a minute or 2 on each side to get a little brown. Remove and place on top of the rice. Cover with foil and bake for 25 min. Uncover and top with remaining cheese and fried onions. Return to oven for an additional 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted and onions are lightly browned.

MESSAGE TO MY TEENAGER ~ (author unknown)
1. Yes, your freshman AND Sophomore years count towards your GPA for college entrance. Screw it up and you’ll work for crap wages your whole life.
2. No means NO. In every possible circumstance.
3. Join every sport, every club, every after school activity no matter what the cost. It’s cheaper than bail.
4. Repeat after me: I am never in that much of a hurry…I am never in that much of a hurry. Now say that every time you get behind the wheel. It will save your life and that of your best friend in the seat next to you.
5. Don’t do drugs or drink - it is so not worth the trouble.
6. Don’t get a credit card. You earn it or you live without it.
7. If I yell at you, it’s because I love you. And also, because you pissed me off. To avoid the latter, don't be an idiot. And don't disappoint me. More importantly, yourself.
8. Make a vivid picture inside your head of every great moment of your childhood. You’ll need those to get through adulthood.
9. Make snow angels as often as possible. Make a bucket list. Check it off!
10. Stand up for those who can’t stand up for themselves.
11. Be always benevolent. Yes, that’s a word. Look it up.
12. Call me for a ride even if you are so drunk you barely know my number. I’ll probably be mad for a while but I’ll respect you for calling and I won’t kill you. Riding with someone who is drinking will. (PS - remember #5?)
13. Be a leader, not a follower. Unless you are following the kid with the highest GPA and (s)he is going to a study group, then by all means be a follower!
14. Love your siblings, even when you don’t like them. Some day you will be trying to get them to take care of me in my old age. If they are mad at you, you are stuck with me.
15. I’ve been there, done that on more things than you can imagine. I’m not stupid and I know what you are doing. I was once you (times ten).
16. Work hard at everything you do. Anything worth doing is worth doing well.
17. Cover it. (Enough said.)
18. When I tell you to clean your room, do not point at my messy room and raise your eyebrows. I’m trying to raise you to be better than me.
19. Learn to type; to budget; to spell correctly and to pray. All are equally important.
20. Never be sedentary. Someday soon you will no longer be able to move like that. Enjoy it.
