No-bake Cookies

I love to peanut butter, marshmallows and anything sweet that I can make and clean up in about 10 minutes and this fits all of those.

These Chocolate peanut butter no bake cookies may not be the cutest cookie and they you need to freeze them if you want to hold the whole cookie at once but they are sure yummy.

Chocolate Peanut Butter No-bake Cookies
2 Cups Sugar
4 Tablespoons Cocoa
½ cup butter
½ cup milk
1 cup peanut butter
3 cups oatmeal
3 cups marshmallows
Parchment paper

In a heavy saucepan bring to boil, the sugar, cocoa, butter and milk. Let boil for 1 minute. Then add peanut butter, mix well. Then stir in oatmeal and marshmallows (I like to save one cup of marshmallows until the very end so that they are not all melted by the time you have finished mixing). Drop mixture onto a greased sheet of parchment paper – until cooled and hardened (these cookies are usually so soft that you need to freeze them unless you want to eat them with a spoon).

Looks and Brains

Since Elly has started solids almost 3 months ago she has been very picky on what she will eat. I hoped that this would change once she started finger foods but unfortunately she has proved to be even pickier then she was before. She now will not eat anything with a spoon unless she gets to hold it and when that happens all the food ends up on me, the floor or her hair and none in her mouth.

So yesterday I decided I was going to be very sneaky and spread some of her sweet potato on the one thing she will eat – Gerber graduate puffs – well my daughter it too smart for that. She would pick up the puff; look at it and with the other hand take off the sweet potato. And the best part is when I took out the camera because I thought she was being too cute she started to pose and smile.

That’s my girl.

New High Chair

Last week I finally bought Elly a high chair (she normally sits in her bumbo). It was a lot of fun setting it up and she was very excited to try it out, she even tried to read me the instructions – no doubt to tell me the best way to build it.
