Ooey Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies

I am beginning to discover that I don't have to sacrifice the foods I once enjoyed when I can substitute gluten-free flours to remake my favorite treats. Try these chocolate chip cookies for a yummy treat. I have even won over my roommate on these awesome cookies!

Yields: 7 dozen, 2-inch cookies

Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups gluten-free, all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups (12 oz) Guittard Semisweet Chocolate Chips
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions:
Preheat Oven to 375 degrees

In small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt, set aside.

In large bowl, cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light. Beat eggs and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add flour mixture until combined. Stir in chips and walnuts (optional).

Drop by well-rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

Slow Cooker Cabbage with Apples and Pork Roast

This was a nice recipe for a cold evening and for a Sunday! I cooked carrots separately to add color to the dish!
Ingredients:
1/2 medium head of cabbage, cored and chopped
3 apples, cored and diced (leave skin on)
1/2 small onion, chopped
2 tbsp cider vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
dash nutmeg
bay leaf
1 1/2 lb boneless pork roast, trimmed of visible fat

Directions: In a 4.5-qt slow cooker, combine all ingredients except pork roast and stir. Mash down a bit if you feel like you don't have room for your roast (it will seem very full at first but the cabbage will cook down quite a bit). Place unseasoned roast on top. Cook on low for about 8 hours or until roast is at least 160 degrees in the center.
