I have some VERY picky eaters in my house, but one thing that I can always count on is CHEESE!

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

As some of you may know, I have been educating others in ways that they can radically reduce the use of chemicals in their homes. With this job, I visit other people’s homes to meet their friends and family and share with them ways that they can achieve this. What this means is that I leave hubby with the kids on weekends or weeknights. A few weekends ago, I came home to homemade Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies. Not only were there freshly baked cookies, but there were smiling faces, a unique recipe written by my daughter on a piece of … Continue reading →
