Splenda Cookies

Dearest Carey, your wish is my command:
Mild provolone with Ritz and medium cheddar.

I broke in Stir Elton last night by trying a single batch of Splenda's Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe.

The single batch of dough for 36 cookies looked really small in my bowl (my bowl can hold 14 cups of flour).

The splatter shield/pour spout thingy is great. However, don't try to crack an egg on the counter and make it all the way up to the pour spout. You will lose some egg white along the way. :-)

The Splenda cookies were good (http://splenda.allrecipes.com/Recipe/Recipe.aspx?nprid=76241). Now, I have to experiment and get some of the fat out. I'm also going to try using Splenda brown sugar along with the regular Splenda in the recipe. One substitution at a time, though.

BTW, the chicken breasts were great. I stuffed them with chevre, salt & pepper, diced serranos and chopped roasted red peppers. Rubbed the breasts with corriander, salt, oregano, and southwest seasoning. The warm, drizzled sauces were 1) a puree of roasted red pepper, honey and pureed canned chipotle and 2) a can of green salsa with ranch dressing mixed in.

You know what else is really good on Ritz crackers? Cracker Barrel Vermont White.

Vermont? Vermont?

*giggles*

It took me a minute to get it. Blame the marketing people.

Zombs said...

Isn't Vermont where all the good cheese comes from?

*bats eyes*

I think Kim likes Stir Elton. She can "make it all the way up to the pour spout." That takes steady nerves and fearlessness.

Swami <-- late but still found a new perversness possibility.

Zombs said...

I think it is only us four on today.

Zombs said...

Make that 5. I see Puffy aroudn too.

Zombs said...

Now its just me.

*cries vermont cheese tears*

I'm here, being iritated about NYE. Apparently we are the only ones going to BILs. Um, what's the point? We've spent the last three weekends with them. And he's making coleslaw. I hate coleslaw.

Swami said...

*so happy Kim has relatives to be tight with*

arkie said...

Kim, what else will you be having? Or is it *just* coleslaw? Cuz if that's the case, I wouldn't want to go either. I mean, I *like* coleslaw, but not enough to snack on it all evening.
*grin*

Wow, and I've only had one sip (ok, maybe two) of wine so far. I'm already feeling better. Cheap wine is the way to go!

Zombs said...

Psst Arkie...it's not New Year's Eve yet.

arkie said...

I know, Zombs, but I wanted to get an early start. *cheers*

Coco said...

I wish, O I wish I had wine. Instead, I have Shakespeare.

arkie said...

I'll drink some wine for you, Coco. Will that help?

Coco said...

I love your helpful attitude, Arkie.

*smooch*

Seana said...

LOL @ all of you.

I'm late to the party and have nothing pervy to say. :-(

Puffy said...

Rubbed breasts, warm drizzled sauces, lose egg white, your wish is my command. *fans self*

Ritz cracker is also pretty darn yummy on cod. Old yankee recipe.

I love using my kitchen aid for kneading bread dough. I really do not use it for sex that much.

Monstah said...

You know, if you get Stir Elton a car seat, I bet you would be able to park in special spots.

I for one would love to see a winter scarpbook of you guys. Some pics of him playing in the snow, maybe some nice snap shots of him skiing followed by the apres ski by fire, or perhaps even somem shots of Stir and Nolay basket weaving ...shall I send some of All Stah's hand me downs to you? Surely a mixer of his status deserves to be clothed.

kim (weltek) said...

Hm...I wonder if I can play a video of me and Stir to "Happy Together."

I really wish he'd play Crocodile Rock when I lift the bowl.

Update: Stir & I made bread last night. Very delectable wheat bread. Stir did all the work.

kim (weltek) said...

I'm afraid Stir Elton wouldn't fit in any of All Stah's clothes. He's rather plump.

Happy New Year Kim! Tell Chris I said Happy New Year to him, too!

Mom2BJM(Amy) said...

Coleslaw.. double blech!

Happy New Year, and congrats on Stir Elton!

Do you have a dough hook??

Zombs said...

KIM!!!!

Dh is watching Greenbay right now and people are wearing cheese on their heads! DO you know about that?

Can you imagine? What type of cheese would you use?

kim (weltek) said...

Zombie-tell DH he's a good man for watching the game. We were glued to it all night!

I'm always troubled by the cheeseheads...it's swiss in form, but yellow/orange in color. *sigh*

mom-yep, I have the dough hook-loooove it!

MTW-Happy New Year to you! *smooch*

Swami said...

Happy New Year, Kim!

Hey, since Carey wasn't here, can *my* wish be your command now?
