Haven’t posted in a long time, more time in between than usual…but I have been busy with work and coming up with inspiration with my lack of a kitchen in SF. I can only bake when I am at home in Lodi, and March was a super busy month, and now we are in April! Happy Easter Sunday ya’ll! I can’t wait to see everyone’s table spreads for Easter. This holiday is usually pretty big at my house due to my sister’s birthday usually being close, if not the same weekend as Easter. We aren’t religious but we like to find any reason to celebrate and eat good food! New things on the horizon for me: GOING GOLFING TOMORROW!!!! I am actually super excited since I have never played a round of golf before, let alone actually golf more than once. The first time I went to the driving range and picked up a club was last weekend so I am an uber noob!!! But I have to say it is actually super silly…apparently sometimes you can have a bad day and you can’t hit a single ball or go more than 50 yards…even experienced people! An accomplishment for me was that I was able to hit the ball in the air, and just enough to go to around 100 yards! Definitely a sport I want to play more often because I feel pretty classy and old soul about it ahhah. If you have never tried golfing, go get some balls at the driving range (about $10-15 for 100 balls) and find a friend with clubs and go make it an outing!!! Ingredients (~24-26 cookies) Recipe adapted from Dinner with Julie. 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temp 1 cup light brown sugar 1/4 cup granulated sugar 2 tbsp molasses 1 egg 2 tsp vanilla 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp nutmeg 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup chopped pitted dates 1/4 cup toffee bits (I used Heath) 1/2 cup chocolate chunk chips 1.
