Wisdom

Ingredients:
At least one functioning sense
Time for reflection
Desire for truth
Love of wisdom in any form

Directions:
1) Desire to find the truth and be lovingly thankful regardless of where or how it comes.

2) Use which ever sense you have decided on to observe and sense what is.

3) Reflect or ponder if that is your word of choice for thinking deeply (usually privately and undisturbed). Think and allow as many conclusions and parallels to be drawn. Maybe write such down for further digestion.

Note:afix a label to a spiral notebook that contains your reflections with the word "wisdom" printed on it.

Chocolate chip cookie pizza

Ingredients:

Chocolate chips
Dulce de leche or Carmel sauce
Coconut
Pecans
Cookie dough or brownie dough

Directions:

1) preheat oven to 375.

2) spread dough on prepared pizza pan and cook for 10 minutes.

3) Allow dough to cool then spread sauce (Carmel or Dulce de leche) over the pizza  and then decorate with remaining ingredients using chocolate chips last.

Note: we used a chocolate chip cookie dough without chocolate chips, but we added peanut butter, also we did not use coconut or pecans. It was suggested that I use brownie dough for the pizza crust.

If I did it again, I would use peanut butter in place of the Carmel sauce.
