We don't have cable, so we have to find ways to entertain ourselves. Today we made lots of sweets to last us the week.
Abi made cookies and cream bark. She used 18 oreos or similar cookies and 10 oz. of white chocolate chips. We had to use something other than oreos. I could not bring myself to buy an $8 box of cookies. We opted for the cheap brand. She melted the chips in a pan and added the crushed cookies. Then she placed the mix into a foil lined pan to cool. It was amazing and easy to make. I'm going to make sure my little baker's pantry is fully stocked in the future.
Emily helped me make some macaroons. I love coconut, but no one else in my house loves it. I never get to buy anything with coconut. This was an easy recipe to make. It had 14 oz of coconut flakes and 14 oz of sweet condensed milk. Bake until crispy.
Dr. Pepper and Chocolate cake mix.
The girls can made no bake cookies without a recipe now. They just get the ingredients out and go to work.
I left all my cookbooks in storage. I miss them on days like this. I like to go through the really old ones and read how women used to cook. I feel blessed to have daughters that enjoy cooking and understand the importance of cooking as a skill for life. You have to nourish your body with healthy food to have a balance life.
