My new go-to CCC recipe. I like these chocolate chip cookies even better than the regular ones.
3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. packed brown sugar
1 c. butter or margarine, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
2 c. whole wheat flour (I use the white wheat)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
12 oz. bag of semisweet chocolate chips
Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix sugars, butter, vanilla and eggs in large bowl. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt (dough will be stiff). Stir in chocolate chips. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 8-10 minutes or until light brown (centers will be soft). Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet. Cool on wire rack.

Turkey/Chicken Pot Pie
Richelle Lindstrom, Centennial, CO
Roux:
1-2 T butter
1 1/2 - 2 C milk
1 1/2 T flour
Spices to taste
Melt butter in pan over medium heat, add flour to make a paste. Slowly whisk in milk. Stir sauce until thickened (may need to increase heat). Add whatever spices you'd like. The original recipe doesn't call for any, but it at least needs some salt and pepper. We added oregano, basil, parsley and garlic powder and it was much more flavorful. [Sauce should be the consistency of a heavy cream, not quite as thick as a gravy.]
Cook your choice of vegetables (cooked and cubed potatoes, corn, carrots, peas, etc) and meat (Richelle uses canned chicken, we used leftover turkey breast) separately. [We used approx. 1/2 can peas, 1/2 can corn, 1 1/2 C turkey, 1 1/2 C potato cubes and our pot pies were FULL.]
Add cooked veggies and meat to the roux, pour into pastry. Place pastry on top, fork edges and middle. Cook for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown at 350. Cool 10 minutes to let inside firm up.

Famous Senate Bean Soup
1 lb Dry Navy Beans
1 Meaty Ham Bone
1 c. chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 c. chopped celery
2/3 c. potato flakes (I don't use this, it makes soup too thick)
1/4 c. parsley
1 1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
1 t. nutmeg
1 t. oregano
1 t. basil
1 bay leaf
In large pot, cover beans with 6-8 cups of water. Bring to boil and cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cover; let stand at least one hour (longer is better so beans begin to soften). Drain, add 2 quarts of water and the ham bone. Bring to boil again and simmer about 1 1/2 hours, until beans are tender. Add remaining ingredients and simmer another 20-30 minutes. Remove ham bone and trim off meat. Add meat back into soup and serve. Leftovers can be frozen.
