I Finally Found It!

The recipe our mothers used to make...made some today. All I can say is YUM

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375° F.

2. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

3. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Not too complicated. Right?

TESS

This is a great new idea! Susan and Ryan Shand, a Santa Barbara based mother daughter team invented TESS(Teen Everyday Skincare System), their own comprehensive product line to help teens learn skincare basics. The products are made with all natural fruit and botanical extracts, essential oils, and vitamins especially formulated for teenage girls. The line includes two different "kits" to choose from based on skin type. The choice is between Almost Normal, for combination skin; and Skin With Attitude, for oily skin. The products have fun names, packages covered in inspiring messages, and scents like lavender, chamomile, green tea, hibiscus flower, white willowbark, lemon peel, apple and strawberr the products promote a healthy attitude towards beauty and self-esteem.

After using the Almost Normal skin product "kit" (which includes Cleanser, Toner, Moisturizer, A Blemish Stick, Sunscreen, Mask, Sunscreen, and Lip-gloss) twice a day, in the morning, and before bed for six weeks, my skin was soft and smooth and completely clear of acne. In the rare occasion that a zit marked my face, the ZIP IT peppermint blemish stick would get rid of it by the next day. I highly recommend this brand for any teenage girls, or adults with troublesome skin (aka. me). You can visit TESS's website here.{The picture shows TESS Rise and Shine Strawberry Cleanser}
