the reason i posted this is because it reminded me that we rarely, well actually never, buy raisins. i'm not a big fan of them and neither is my husband. whenever we make cookies we almost always add chocolate chips.  our kids only eat raisins when they get them at nursery, grandma's house, or treats from aunt lynn:)  I forget how much our kids do like raisins....so, maybe i should buy some just for snacks, however, i think i'll still leave them out of cookies;)
