Moving In Treat


We just moved into our new house. Besides unpacking boxes, organizing and trying to make this houses a home I found myself with a craving for something sweet. Just as my luck would have it we hadn't even been to the grocery store yet. But thanks to my food storage I was able to make no bake cookies! They were great! Easy 1 pot mess and wax paper. Fast clean up and a treat for everyone. My family loves this quick treat so I thought I would share this recipe.

No Bake Cookie Recipe

2 cups white sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup margarine
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of salt
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 1/2 cups quick oats

In a pan over medium heat combine sugar, margarine, milk and cocoa powder. Bring to a boil stirring occasionally for 1 min.Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, salt, peanut butter and oats. Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper and let set up for 30 mins to 1 hour. Store in an airtight container.

Enjoy!

Peaches for me!


One of the things I love the most about the end of Summer is Peach Season. Elberta Peaches are my favorite and they are the last to come off the trees. I love going to the roadside stands along the "Fruit Highway" in Perry and Brigham City or buying them from fruit stands a little closer to home. My family and I can easily go through a bushel just eating them. They are a great canning peach and canning them makes them last a little longer through the year. I must admit they are one of my guilty pleasures that I don't feel guilty about eating at all. Only 35 calories a peach! In my book they are right up there with Carmel, Chocolate and Ice cream!
