I think I must apologize to any readers I may have left.  I, obviously, started this blog before I was really ready.  How many posts have I completed?  I hate to keep complaining, but my relationship with food is just not what it used to be.  I have the hardest time coming up with menus.  I literally cannot think of food to cook.  This is bad (really bad) for a food blogger.  Hopefully, this is just another symptom of the pregnancy, and once the baby has arrived, I’ll be back to normal.  In the meantime, I’m going to try really hard…I do like blogging.

No Bake Cookies are one of my fast go-to favorites.  I almost always have all of the ingredients in the pantry, so they’re ready in a matter of minutes.  You really don’t need to wait until they’ve cooled.  Enjoy some warm!  After dropping the majority on a sheet to cool, I leave some of the batter in the saucepan and eat it straight from there.  Just wipe your face clean when you’re done. 

No Bake Cookies
makes 24ish

2 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter
1/4 c. cocoa powder (I usually add a bit extra for more chocolate flavor)
1/2 c. milk
1 t. vanilla
1/2 c. peanut butter
3 c. oatmeal

Mix first four ingredients in a saucepan with a whisk.  Bring to a boil and boil one minute.  Remove from heat and mix in the rest of the ingredients.  Stir until mixture thickens.  Drop by spoonful onto wax paper.  Let stand until cool.
