kitchen sink cookies

i made these today and have to admit, they are not my favorite. i am a purist at heart, straight ole chocolate chip is what i prefer. i thought big j might enjoy these especially since they included two of his favorite ingredients, coconut and walnuts. i intended on making them for father's day, but didn't get around to it until this morning. it is a martha stewart recipe found on her site. they are easy enough to whip up and are moist and cakey, but i an not sure i would make again. if i do, i would cut the chocolate chips back to one cup. i don't know what it is, but i just don't have good luck with martha's recipes, yet i keep going back. enjoy.

camp cupcake's swedish meatballs

i made swedish meatballs tonight for dinner, as requested by big j. he had seen the recipe in an old issue of martha stewart's everyday food that i was using as a coaster. let me first say that i usually have no luck with ms's recipes. they just never seem to turn out quite right. the ikea wannabes were not so pretty to look at and a tad bland, but they were simple to make and somewhat tasty. i would make them again. i served them with egg noodles and green peas. big j was "gut bomb" happy, especially as he mounded the green peas on top and gave it all a good stir. ugh.

c & t took one look and whined. they moved out.

swedish meatballs, it's a good thing. well, sorta.

(big j added the tomater for color)
