Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween Everyone!  

When you live out in the country, away from people, and you don't have kids of your own, October 31st is just another day.  As my husband said, any kids that try to trick-or-treat at our place will probably be eaten before they reach the door.

No tricks here, but I did bake myself a little treat this afternoon.  So much for giving up white flour and refined sugar. On a positive note, at least I know everything that went into these cookies and it's just the basics, unlike some of the baked goods you see at the store with ingredient lists that seem to go on forever. 

I halved this recipe from Betty Crocker and substituted carob chips for the chocolate chips. I am allergic to caffeine and can't have chocolate. (More on that in a future post.) 

Carob (or chocolate) chip cookies.  Yum!!
