The Way to a Man's Heart...

Is through his stomach, right?!?! I would definitely say that's so for Steve! Periodically I'll ask him what is romantic to him because what we think of as romantic is usually totally different! His answer more than once has been when I have cookies baked for him when he gets home! So, I thought I'd share with you a favorite recipe of ours...MONSTER COOKIES! These are sure to make my man smile when he gets home! You may want to try making them for someone to show them how much you love them, too ;)!!
