  Even when you say, "chocolate chip cookie" a chorus of orchestral musical sound comes though my brain. It is the most favorite cookie of all time. At the Heritage Farm Market this cookie sold out 90% of the time. It was the hot humid days that people went to the beach or ran through a hose in the yard to stay cool, when a few of these cookies made it back home at the end of the market.  Definately a favorite with children, who chose the chocolate chip cookie over the others. I hope you enjoy this recipe and the cookies.

  Holy Jalapeno Cheese Bread This is such a soft tasty loaf of bread. It could be made as a cheese bread if jalapenos are not your thing. I come from a family of 10. Mom struggled every day trying to find ways to feed us and the only spices we had in the house were turkey dressing spices, cinammon, nutmeg and cloves. Of course we had salt and pepper seasoning which made all the meat, potatoes, macaroni or kraft dinner tasty. As an adult living in the Halifax/Dartmouth area I finally tried jalapeno peppers on a plate of nachos at the restaurant called "The Thirsty Duck" (no longer in existence). It was my nursing class, after exam, celebration spot to go. It took several tries before acquiring a taste for the peppers. Once you do enjoy the taste of jalapenos this loaf of bread will give you just another chance to enjoy and celebrate any ol' accomplishment you choose. I wish there was another photo to share but be assured you will not be disappointed. Makes 3 loaves Bre
