Although I’ve discussed my Pinterest failures and my Pinterest “meh” experiences, I don’t think I’ve written about any of the successes I’ve had. I recently made a wonderful chocolate, PB oatmeal cookie — and I even took a few liberties. I love recipes that have room for experimentation, er, laziness.

I swapped out crunchy peanut butter for flavored stuff from PB Crave.  I also only had instant oatmeal. The result was quite soft and not as pretty as the pictures in the recipe but tasty. Even Samantha, who claims to hate oatmeal cookies, wanted me to bring more. Mom had a hard time quitting shoving them in her mouth. Pretty good compliment.

I mean, they’re no-bake, but I still slaved away over a hot stove. ;)

I make brownies quite frequently. They’re good. As much as I enjoy the finished product, I love licking the spoon just as much. I remember when I was younger, waiting for mom to finish so I could lick the spoon. I hated having to share with my sister. We’d fight over who got what implement. Ryan doesn’t care to lick the spoon because he has no love for life he’s not a fan of sweets, really. Oh well. More for me.
