I made these cookies last night which received a wonderful reception. A little introduction into fall since it’s actually cooled down here in Vegas to a chilling 88 degrees. I even noticed some leaves falling off the trees last weekend. A few stores are even busting out their Halloween gear already so I guess I’m just feeling it. These cookies were perfect right out of the oven with some vanilla ice cream on the side, a match made in heaven. Try these spicy little puppies out, you’re sure to love them and you too can start easing your way into fall. Although I’m not sure we really want to go there just yet, do we?

A couple of quick stories. First the Pa Boy, it’s named after a sandwich Pa made when he was in town a couple months ago (no shrimp, just kinda clever). When we went to Trader Joe’s he was “allowed” to pick out some items of his own. The things he grabbed were deli meat and these awesome little artisan rolls (and an apple pie). When we got back home Pa made up some sandwiches, Z ate ‘em up like crazy. We’ve been getting these rolls for sandwiches “like when Pa was here” ever since. A simple sandwich consisting of sliced deli meat, tomatoes and mayonnaise, add whatever you like but keeping it simple is best here. We mmmm with every bite of these. Thank you for dropping these little babies in da basket Pa.

The fresh organic green beans have been looking so good at the store lately I can’t resist picking up a carton. When I get home I figure out what I will do with them. Last time it was Chinese buffet style but this time it’s succotash. Love the word, never really knew what it was. Now I do and I love it. Super simple and tasty, it just feels healthy to eat it. When the edamame beans and corn mix in your mouth it has a wonderful buttery taste. I altered the ingredient ratio because I only had so many edamame beans to work with so I had to make up for them with extra green beans. I think this is one of those recipes you can just eyeball after you’ve made it once. You could even simplify it down to one cup of each vegetable, two tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper and there you have it. Succotash, you can learn more here if you’re a major dork.
