These delicious cookies have been a hit in my home.  Normally I would make one batch but a few weekends ago my brother and sister came over to spend the weekend with us while my mom celebrated her birthday in Vegas, so we made an extra batch.  At the end of the weekend they took a little over a dozen back home with them.  This was the first time my mom actually tried them and she loved them.  To you this may mean nothing but let me tell you a little secret about my mom.  She doesn't like anything sweet!  Not even chocolate!!  What's my point in bringing up my mother's opposition to desserts? Well, she loved these cookies!  Not so much the chocolate part, but she was pretty impressed and delightfully satisfied when she had one of these oatmeal cookies with her coffee.  Yay! 1 point for team Stephanie!  Next time I'll have to make some without chocolate for her :)

Another successful recipe provided by my Tia Sandra: Dinner Rolls.

The first time I tried these dinner rolls was about a year ago.  My Tia Sandra lives in Nevada so we don't have the pleasure of having these delicious dinner rolls whenever she makes them (which is quite often).  When I did get to taste these dinner rolls for the first time however, I was at another one of my Tia's house who had just come back from visiting Tia Sandra and she offered me one.  After the first bite I practically inhaled the whole roll in a matter of seconds.  I finally got the courage to try and make them.  How'd they turn out?  Well......after the fourth attempt to duplicate the wonderful fluffiness and taste of these delicious rolls, we finished about 1/2 the batch in one day :)
