Both recipes are winners, Dottie! I could easily eat 3 of each! I have white chocolate and have been meaning to make cookies with it for ages, but always forget! You've inspired me and I may even get some macadamias since my daughter will be away (she has a nut allergy as you may remember). Thank you as always! :) CC
ReplyDeleteDear Christina, Thank you for your visit tonight...I am thrilled that you loved this post and the 2 recipes. They are both winners definitely. I thought that my wrap would be a great lunch and of course, you have to have a dessert, but did not want to have anything really heavy especially when it is hot out. So these cookies kept coming to mind. I knew everyone would love them...they are incredible, I love chocolate, white or dark. Yes, I do remember that your daughter has that nut allergy, so with her away, you won't feel guilty making them. Thanks for your kind words, and again I do hope that your daughter has a wonderful experience and a safe trip. I am sure she will enjoy seeing her relatives. Enjoy your week...see you soon...Dottie :)
DeleteI love wraps in particular Mexican ones. Your recipes here make me drool. I could have the wraps for dinner tonight as they are easy to prepare and super tasty. In the summer it is harder cooking especially after a long hot day.
ReplyDeleteYour white chocolate cookies look really good too! :-)
Dear Alida, Thank you for stopping by and your kind words...Yes, I agree I also do love the Mexican ones as well.Seems you can do so many things with wraps from eggs to desserts. Very versatile.So glad that you enjoyed this post, yes you must try the recipe. I think your children will enjoy them as well as being not too heavy on these dog days of summer. Blessings Alida and thanks again...Dottie :)

ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth, Welcome, so glad to see you again. Thanks for visiting and your sweet comment. I was laughing when you said you would be "wordless" for the day if you had my wrap and the cookies. It is true as you would be eating and enjoying so you couldn't speak! So glad that you liked this post and the recipes are so easy on these hot days. Blessings on a great rest of the week...Dottie :)

ReplyDeleteDear Nee, Good Afternoon dear friend...Thank you for your comment and for coming over...Yes, I agree these easy cool meals is what I love during the hot days. Yes, you could add a salad on the side, or a fruit bowl, I even like a cool beets salad, on the side of the wraps. Then the cookies are really heaven on earth.

ReplyDeleteI love almonds! And to be able to use them both in the main event and in the dessert? Luxury! Really fun post -- thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi John,
DeleteGlad that you stopped by...I think by far my favorite is almonds, love all kinds, but the almond just has the smooth taste to it. Thanks for your comment and so glad that you enjoyed this post and my recipes. Have a fabulous rest of the week...
Dottie :)
Hi Dottie!
ReplyDeleteSewing group? I didn't know you sewed:) Oh how I wish I new how to sew:) Love these wraps! Quick, easy and I bet oh so delicious!!! As John said doubling up on the almonds is a great idea and healthy too:) Thanks for sharing, Dottie...
Dear Louise, Thanks for your visit this evening. Well, I used to belong to a "sewing group" of friends that would meet at my house every Wednesday, for lunch and "sewing." But we all did many things, like crocheting, knitting, cross stitch, embroidery, sewing, etc. We were about 8-9 women. I would make the lunch and they would chip in for the expenses. We met for about 4 years, or more. It was a lot of fun and laughs. But I had to stop it, as I became more ill and was not able to do it every week. We all keep in touch and that is a good thing. So as to your question, I do sew, but my passion is crocheting.
DeleteBack to the ranch as they say, this recipe was one that I made up for lunch one day. I love to create new and delicious recipes. Plus I love nuts and it gives such a great texture to a dish. Thanks for your comment Louise and have a blessed rest of the week...Dottie :)
Hi Dottie, what a great meal! Just love your chicken surprise wraps as a one-dish meal and almond white cookies as snack. Thanks for sharing and warmest regards :)
ReplyDeleteHi Ivy, So nice to hear from you! Thanks for dropping in....So happy that you enjoyed this post and recipes. They are perfect I think for a hot day or night. The cookies are heaven on earth and so yummy no matter what, day or night! Warmest regards to you dear friend....Thanks for your kind comment...Blessings on the rest of your week...Dottie :)
