It’s rich and indulgent and totally decadent (not gonna lie, there’s a cup of butter and two cups of sugar in this recipe!), but if you’re gonna indulge, you may as well indulge in homemade, made-from-scratch goodness, right?

Don’t waste those calories on store-bought candy bars and other processed foods that are full of high-fructose corn syrup and artificial ingredients. Eat this. Not that;)

I have a yummy chocolate chip cookie recipe that I’ve used for years, but once I got my first cast iron skillet, I started cooking pretty much anything and everything I could in said skillet… Including dessert (like this rustic apple crumble recipe, or this skillet peach cobbler), so I took my chocolate chip cookie recipe and instead of spooning the dough onto a baking sheet and baking a couple dozen cookies, I spread the dough in my cast iron pan and baked it into one giant cookie.

Needless to say, it was delicious. Like, somehow more delicious than regular chocolate chip cookies (even the best ones!). 

It has since become one of our family’s favourite treats, and while I try to keep the indulgences to a minimum, when you’re in the mood for something chocolatey, NOTHING satisfies quite like this skillet cookie.

 

Everything tastes better cooked in cast iron

I really believe everything tastes better when it’s cooked in cast iron. I’m not sure quite why that is or if it’s just all in my head, but there’s something rustic and homey about food that’s been cooked (or baked) in cast iron, and I can totally sense that in the food that comes out of it.

Making this chocolate chip cookie recipe in a cast iron skillet also helps keep it gooey and moist throughout since less surface area is exposed to the oven. Instead of individual cookies, carve it into slices like a pie.

If you want to be extra decadent, you could even top it with vanilla ice cream.

Pick it up like a pizza slice and eat it with your hands. Or use a fork to eat it like a cake. There really is no bad way to eat a chocolate chip skillet cookie:) I assure you, it’s just as delicious no matter how you slice it. Get it? Ha!

Slice of skillet cookie

Oh, and if you don’t have a cast iron skillet, you can make this skillet cookie in a baking dish or scoop spoonfuls onto a baking tray and bake like regular chocolate chip cookies. But I highly recommend you GET yourself a cast iron skillet if you don’t have one. I use mine all the time and it’s easier than you might think to use and keep clean.

Plus, every homesteader, modern or traditional should have at least one cast iron skillet. If nothing else, it’s an easy way to channel Ma Ingalls even if you live in an apartment downtown!

I use Lagostina brand cast iron skillet (I’ve got a 10-inch and a 12-inch skillet), which I get from Canadian Tire (for my fellow homesteading Canucks;). But Lodge cast iron skillets are probably the most widely recommended brand on the market right now and I’ve heard nothing but good things. Of course, if you happen to inherit a cast iron skillet or two, or find one at a thrift store or garage sale, they’re easy to clean up and re-season.

In any case, get yourself a cast iron skillet, and then make this chocolate skillet cookie. And then print off this recipe and keep it in your recipe box (or binder). Because this recipe is sure to become a family favourite, at least if you’re family is anything like mine:)  

If you're looking for the perfect homemade treat to satisfy your sweet tooth, look no further than this ooey, gooey chocolate chip skillet cookie recipe. It's rich and indulgent and totally decadent, and it will satisfy your sweet tooth like no other desert can! #skilletcookie #chocolatechipskilletcookie

      I don’t see why not! You might find you have to adjust the baking time slightly, but I always like to pull it out of the oven and let it cool when it’s still a little under-baked. That’s what makes it so moist and gooey! But beware, it is seriously addictive and you might eat the whole thing! I like to cut it up into squares or slices and put in the freezer. Then when I want something sweet I can pull out a square/slice and warm it up quickly:) Well, that’s if my husband doesn’t eat them all first!

This radish top pesto recipe makes good use of the edible radish greens that often get discarded once they’re separated from the root. The end result is a peppery, slightly spicy twist on a classic pesto recipe.
A perfect condiment for all your summer snacking!

Who else saves their canning lids? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Even though canning lids should never be reused for CANNING, they are super useful for storing other things like:
• Dry goods (beans, rice, oatmeal, pasta, spices, etc.)
• Dehydrated fruit and vegetables
• DIY home and body products (body butter, bath salts, sugar scrubs, home cleaners, lids for candles, etc.
• Store dried herbs for your home apothecary
• Punch holes in them and let your kiddos collect bugs and nature treasures in a Mason jar!
• Paint them or cover with fabric to make your own ornaments and crafts
• And of course, save them to store open jars of home-canned food in the fridge!

I’m sure I’m missing some things.

Can you think of any other ways to reuse canning lids? Let me know in the comments!

Oh, and P.S., there are just two days left to save 15% off your order at @denalicanning !!!

Use code ANNA15 to save 15% off your order of $75 or more at denalicanning.com.

Stock up on canning lids, rings, home canners and preserving supplies and be prepared for the onslaught of garden goodies come summer and fall!

And remember to save those canning lids when you’re done!

Calendula has to be my favourite flower to grow. For starters, it’s incredibly easy to grow from seed and requires very little care. Second, it looks gorgeous in the garden. But third and most importantly, calendula is packed with medicinal properties and is an incredibly powerful, natural home remedy.

Every year in the spring, I plant the seeds that will eventually turn into the crops to be harvested from our annual vegetable garden.

I’ve grown an annual garden for 8 years now, and every year is just as exciting as the last. But it is work, and it requires diligence in the spring to get all of your seeds planted on time and set up with the proper growing conditions.

With a new baby, I’ve found myself struggling to get everything started and planted out in time, which is why I’m so thankful this year for our perennial food plants; The ones we planted long ago and continue to enjoy every year, no seed starting and little to no work required in the spring!

Perennials need only be planted once and will continue to provide a harvest year after year.

Aside from just being a great return on your initial investment, in an uncertain economy and with our global food supply under more pressure than ever before in our lifetime, knowing you can rely on your land to produce even some food every year without worrying about being able to get seeds, or hitting your seed starting window on time, or whether those seeds will germinate or not can provide a lot of peace of mind.

Plus there a whole bunch of other great benefits for your garden and your soil too!

If you do nothing else this year, I recommend adding at least one perennial edible plant to your homestead, no matter where you live or what size space you’re working with.

Check the link in my profile for 12(plus!) Edible Perennials to Plant Once and Harvest Every Year!

(Or visit https://thehouseandhomestead.com/edible-perennials for the full list).
