This is not a cooking blog.

Far from it. But I made these tonight. It may or may not have anything at all to do with hormones or monthly anything. I just wanted them.

Ahem.


No bake cookies. When you don't have all the ingredients for cookies but really need SOMETHING.





No-Bake Cookies
makes about 2 dozen

2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup cocoa
pinch of salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
3 cups oatmeal


Combine sugar, cocoa, milk and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Cook until the mixture starts to boil and cook for 1 minute.
Add vanilla, salt, peanut butter and oatmeal and quickly stir until combined.
Drop teaspoons onto parchment paper and let cool.

My bad.

This kind of thing just makes me cry.
Cuz I can't stop laughing.

I hate car stuff.

Spent a good portion of today in this position, looking at my shoes. No, it's not a bathroom.




It's where I took my car today to get some new tires (2 of them) for my car, a serpentine belt, and an oil change. I walked out of there feeling so bad, shaking my head wondering if I ended up getting talked into things and paid so much because I'm a girl. Damn! That's such a bad feeling!!

I cooked tonight.

That's all. It's an event unto itself. But, having a day off work and wasting time Stumbling, I came across a recipe that just looked good. So I made it - it is ridiculously easy but actually might make people think I know what I'm doing when I make it!

Er.. a firetruck pulled up outside while I was cooking and I was afraid they had found out I was attempting that activity but no, it wasn't for me. Whew! Anyway, it's grilled chicken tenderloins (without the grill) and if I can make it, I am sure anyone can. Yum! I found it here.

So far - my son and I are still alive.

** Although I must admit the shock of finding cooked food when he came home from work was almost enough to put Andy away in itself!

When you care enough to send the very best ..

For those who have a slightly cockeyed view of the world -
this site will help you express those things for which only a card will do.




Enjoy!

Question . . .

So. If you eat it while ON the treadmill ... does it count?




Just asking.
