Peanut Butter Cookies
Here is a recipe I got from my mom for peanut butter cookies- with NO flour!
Ingredients: Eggs, extra crunchy Peanut Butter, sugar, and baking soda.
Preheat oven to 350.
In a large mixing bowl add:
2 eggs
2 cups Jiffy's extra crunchy peanut butter
1.5 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
MIX WELL
Place one teaspoon onto an un-greased cookie sheet.
Cook for 10-12 minutes.
Voila!
Notes from mom: "Make sure you only do a teaspoon because they do spread out."

Ice cream cone cake!
I'm sure it's called something different, however, that's what I'll call it... for the simple fact. It's a cake within an ice cream cone!
I'm so easily amused!
I didn't get a chance to get ice cream cones, and I can't find the photos I have from Easter where I made the cone cakes.
So here is the recipe:
This is taken directly from Betty Crocker's website. My comments are in parenthesis with capital letters.
YOU'LL NEED:
One box of Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® party rainbow chip cake mix. (ANY CAKE MIX/BRAND WILL WORK)
ALL BETTY CROCKER CAKES WILL NEED: Water, vegetable oil and egg whites.
24 ice cream cones
1 OR 2 containers Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy frosting. (AGAIN, ANY BRAND/FLAVOR)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups. (I HAVE NEVER DONE THAT. I DONT KEEP 'MUFFIN CUPS' ON HAND ALWAYS- SO NO WORRIES IF YOU DON'T HAVE THEM.)
2. Make cake batter as directed on box. Fill each cup 2/3 full of batter (1 heaping tablespoon each). Place ice cream cone upside down on batter in each cup. (I COOK THEM STANDING UP STRAIGHT- AND THEY TURN OUT PERFECT!)
3. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean (cones may tilt on batter). Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Remove paper baking cups. Generously frost cake with frosting, and decorate as desired. Store loosely covered.
I made these for Easter last year to take to a friends house. I decorated them to look like bunnies, with whiskers, eyes, nose, mouth etc. To do so, I used candies. Be creative!! Let your kids decorate too, they have wild imaginations at times- this is a creative outlet!!
If you want to share your creations, send me a picture, in an email, and I will post it on my blog, linking back to yours.
Have fun!

Recipe anyone?
Tired of cooking, the same boring stuff? Or are you tired of cooking... PERIOD!
With three little ones running around, or... two running, and one wanting to be held, it's difficult to get anything done. So I have to find things to make that don't involve the stove if the kids are biting at my ankles. Sometimes it's just to HOT to use the stove, or eat anything hot for that matter.
I'll try and do a few different recipes we enjoy!
How about Chicken Salad- You'll need: Chicken, Curry powder, Mayo, and purple Grapes.
This is very very easy to make, in fact, I never use a recipe. Everything is added to taste.
I use five pounds of Chicken (so it will last a day or two). Cook it, cut it, and put it in a bowl.
While the chicken is cooking, you could cut the grapes in half, or in fours- whichever you prefer.
Add Mayo to taste. If you like your chicken a little dry, add less mayo. If you like a lot , add more!
Some people like curry, some people don't. I like to sprinkle enough over the top to give it a nice coat. Then I stir it all up, and taste it. If it tastes good, awesome. If it could stand some more- ADD MORE!!
I usually leave the grapes in a bowl and allow Alex to take as much as he wants because he doesn't like the grapes. The girls and I love them! I guess you could add raisins also. Get crazy, add some nuts if that's your thing. Experiment a little. It's quick and easy- the hardest part is cutting up all the chicken!
How about desert! That's my favorite part!
We love cake, cake in ice cream cones! (Can be waffle cones also.) Maybe I'll take a trip to the grocery store and get some ice cream cones, and we'll come home and make fun stuff, and photograph it!!
I'll be back later!! Enjoy the chicken salad!
