No Bake Cookies

 


When I was in fifth grade, my teacher had us copy recipes as a handwriting assignment. We assembled the recipes into cookbooks, and I held onto mine for years. One of the copied recipes was for no-bake cookies. At some point in the late 1990s, I copied it into my "grown-up" cookbook, and I'm still using it almost 35 years after Mrs. Joyce Clausen shared it with my class.

No Bake Cookie Recipe

1 stick butter
2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup milk

Boil two minutes. Remove from heat and add:

1/2 cup peanut butter
3 cups quick oats
1 teaspoon vanilla

Spoon onto wax or parchment paper and cool.

Happy New Year! - Consuming Nothing But Food

I just watched a segment on the Today Show  about going on a money diet. They suggested writing down everything you spend money on for a week. Well, on the first day of 2011, I didn't even walk outside of my house. I didn't log onto eBay and buy any old lunchboxes paying tribute to TV shows from the 1970s. I managed consume nothing but food I already had in my pantry - no ordering out. I was a great money dieter. Two days before, I bought my very first e-book, Eat, Pray, Love . I had asked for this book for Christmas; however, when I didn't receive it, I bought it for myself with some money I got for Christmas. I don't own an iPad, but I have access to one from work, so I decided to see how I would like reading an entire book on an electronic tablet. I'm about 130 pages into the story, and so far so good. The best part about reading on a tablet is the ability to read in low light. No need to sit right next to a lamp. I'll put on my fortune teller hat righ...
