beautiful addiction

I made some oatmeal cookies this evening from a recipe I found online and it was just basic ingredients (oatmeal, flour, salt, oil, brown sugar, water, and baking soda). I was looking at the “dough” thinking to myself how was it ever going to turn into actual cookies?

Well, it did. But they are flat! I’m assuming that’s how they’re supposed to be, but they just look funny. The edges are nice and crispy and the middle is very soft and chewy. So I was pleasantly surprised. Relatively healthy, too, from the looks of the recipe. And a great way to get rid of the huge canister of oatmeal I’ve had forever.

It’ll be a great snack to take up north with us this weekend when we go to the cabin! Five hour car ride requires some healthy snacks.

Haha…you have to check this out! It’s pretty much right on when getting to what women REALLY want!

Ok, off to take a late evening stroll with the hubby. It’s still light out and warm, and I could use some fresh air.
