Happy Sunday, dear readers!! There's nothing particularly exciting about it, but I'm tired of having complaining thoughts about the heat-from-Hades-that-we-call-summer-that-will-not-end, so thought that I'd try for the whole if-you-think-things-are-great-they-will-be philosophy.
Finished our second week of a successful (up til now) new school year on Friday, and I'm whipped. It really takes it out of you to actually *teach* your children, doesn't it?? (she types tongue-in-cheek) The boys are excited about their books, with Piper exclaiming that this is the *BEST* year yet!! I'm happy he's happy. It's so much easier to teach them and to get them to take an interest in school when they love what they're doing.
Anywho, I just thought that in the spirit of non-whining, I'd share with you all my family recipe for No-Bake Cookies, which are just the ticket when it's far too hot to turn your oven on, and also which I made on Friday. Have a blessed and peaceful Sunday!
Shani's Family's No-Bake Cookies
2 cups sugar
1 stick butter
1/2 cup milk (I use Rice Milk with equal success)
3 Tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
Melt the butter in a dutch oven pan on the stovetop. Add sugar, milk and cocoa powder and mix well. Let mixture come to a boil, and boil for a minute, stirring constantly. Turn off the heat, add vanilla, stir in oats, and drop by the teaspoonful onto wax paper. Let set, and enjoy!
