Some Days Are Just Special
Even for myself, a woman whose half full glass manages to somehow overflow, even by those standards, this was a great week. Thursday, May 28th was amazing for a couple of reasons: 1) My work to provide better access to quality health care for some people considered part of this country’s underserved populations was realized. 2) The quest to bring more value-adds in health care services for our New Mexico market/plan was a slam dunk!!

Peanut Butter Stuffed Chocolate Cookies
Peanut butter crackers get stuffed in chocolate cookies made with cookie mix. Delicious!
Ingredients
Cookies
1/2 cup butter or margarine, cut-up
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (6 oz)
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 pouch chocolate chip cookie mix
1 egg
30 mini peanut butter cracker sandwiches
Drizzle
1 cup peanut butter chips (6 oz)
1 to 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Directions
1. In large microwavable bowl, microwave butter, chocolate chips and peanut butter uncovered on High 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Stir in cookie mix and egg until well blended. Refrigerate dough 30 minutes or until firm enough to scoop.
2. Heat oven to 375°F. For each rounded measuring tablespoon dough, place 1 peanut butter cracker in center, forming dough into ball around cracker. Onto ungreased cookie sheets, place dough balls 2 inches apart.
3. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until tops are dry (cookies will still be soft). Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.
4. In 1-pint resealable food-storage plastic bag, add peanut butter chips and oil; seal bag. Microwave on High 1 minute, kneading bag after 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Cut 1/8-inch slit diagonally across bottom corner of bag. Squeeze drizzle over cooled cookies. Let stand until set. Store in airtight container.

We Are the Divas of This Ball
The Military Ball weekend and I decided to share it with my 12 year old God Daughter, Jakari! She may not want to be a marketing professional, but the point is she will know what that looks like. ‪#‎takemygoddaughtertoworkday‬ ‪#‎specialmoments‬
Her statement to me: “We are the divas of this ball.” LOL!!

Chocolate-Tea Swirl Cake
Good morning chocolatefriendsofTenaciousM! Here is a chocolate recipe we gotta try!!
As mentioned in my previous post, I had gone on a vacation to Ooty. Ooty is mainly known for two things- it’s cold climate and it’s tea! Not to mention the yummy homemade chocolates. 😉 Because we went by car, we could thoroughly enjoy the weather and the scenic drive. It was indeed beautiful- the misty mountains, green tea estates and tall splendid trees!Â
