BEST BREAD IN TOWN
Okay I don’t make bread….yet. But here are the best recipes I use for the creatures. Someday when they’re leaving the house the goal is to give them these recipes in a book as a way to remember the time we spent together.
Dad’s Chocolate Chip Cookies.
A simple, kid‑approved classic from my kitchen to yours.
When I first started making these, they weren’t exactly a hit with the creatures. They’re picky, cautious, and deeply suspicious of anything new. But after a few tweaks over the years, this recipe has become one of their all‑time favourites. It’s straightforward, reliable, and produces the kind of chocolate chip cookies that disappear embarrassingly fast in my house.
Carlisle Classic Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (or Raisin, if You Dare)

Flash forward a few years, and one of the first recipes I ever tried from that book is now the all-time favourite of the creatures. It’s so beloved that I decided to name it after the person who submitted it to the church group—Mrs. Carlisle
