National Chocolate Chip Day

Today is National Chocolate Chip Day. Who wouldn't love this day!

In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip!

It's another case of why didn't I think of that!

So bake (or run to the bakery) for a batch of Chocolate Chip cookies. Or try something new like Chocolate Chip Cookie dough cupcakes (I just found a recipe I'll be trying)

Remember - Chocolate makes everything taste better



May 19 is National Devil's Food cake Day - What a great month




       Until next time, when I continue the rantings and ravings of a mom of an
American Dream Family.....
