Lemon Rice - Freezable

A super easy recipe for rice. I do not rinse my rice first. I used white rice this time, will try brown next. Next time I may add chicken and veggies and make it a meal!!

1 cup rice, uncooked
1 tsp butter
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp lemon peel, grated
1/4 tsp pepper
2 cups chicken broth
2 tsp dried parsley flakes

Combine rice, butter, garlic, lemon peel, pepper and broth in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer 15 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Stir in parsley. To freeze: cool and place in freezer bag. Label and freeze. To serve: Heat rice, fluff with a fork and serve.

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

I found it- I found my chocolate Chip cookie Recipe that I didn't screw up! Normally I make CC Cookies and they spread out real thin. I have tried a number of recipes, and this one worked for me. I made the dough and thought it looked dry- even Leila said that- but I wondered if that had been my problem from the get go. I also bought real butter- not margarine. I am ELATED I can make a successful cookie after so very many tries and failures!

Anyway- long story short- here is the recipe:
