How about some no-bake cookies out by my waterfall? Cissy and I made some after school this past week.
I'm using my Roy Kirkham Alpine Strawberry teacup. Can you see the bees that are in the design?
My Grace's teapot that my sister gave me is one that I love to use in the summertime. I'm very careful in caring for it because of the design.
When I picked Cissy up from school, it was funny to see that we both had on shirts in the same shade, although her's is showing up more yellowish. Here is her plate of cookies to take home for her family. She showed me how to use the timer on my cell phone to take our picture!
This past week, Riley, who is in the middle, graduated from 8th grade. Yes, he's taller than his 17 year-old brother! I was thankful to attend with the family.
Also this week, Cissy, graduated from 5th grade. I'm here with my daughter, who helped with the after school Beach Bash for all the classmates.

No-Bake Cookies
I used to make these for my own four kids when they were young, and now my grandchildren can enjoy them.
ingredients:
1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 cups oats
2 teaspoons vanilla
instructions:
Mix butter, milk, sugar, and cocoa; bring to a rolling boil and boil 1
minute.
Remove from heat and immediately add peanut butter, oats, and
vanilla.
Stir mixture well and then drop by spoonful onto waxed, or parchment paper.
Cookies will harden as they cool.

I am sharing this with these lovely parties:
I remember those no-bake cookies from my grade school days Kitty and I still enjoy them! I love seeing Cissy's smiling face and what you two are up to in the kitchen. All your grands are growing up and your daughter is beautiful...I don't recall seeing her photo before. ♥
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever tasted no-bake cookies, Kitty. Love the photos of you and your gorgeous family. The children are growing quickly aren't they. Love the summery feel of this post. That tea cup is so pretty with the strawberries and little bees and the strawberry plate is very cool. Love your teapot as well; love all the three dimensional details on it.
ReplyDeleteWow, no bake cookies, that sounds dangerously easy! Such cute cute photos!!
ReplyDeleteHow did our grandchildren get so tech savvy? :)

Kitty, your tea looks so pretty with the cup and teapot. The teacup looks very cheery. I make those no-bake cookies whenever my kids are around because they have always liked them. Funny even after they've grown up, they still enjoy Mom's baking the best. Makes me feel like I'm baking memories into everything I make for them which is a lovely feeling. My grandson has a birthday today and he's taller than his dad now. Hard to believe! I almost require a ladder to give him a hug. ;-) He has to bend wa-a-ay down to give me a hug and it reminds me of the Friendly Giant. Hehe! Have a beautiful day, dear Kitty. Hugs...Sandi
ReplyDeleteWell now I have to say that every time I try to make these . . . they fail miserably so I'm going to try YOUR recipe since everything of yours I've made turns out great!! Cute pictures - so exciting to watch them grow I'm sure! (The kids, not the cookies hahahahaha!)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking and the photos and those cookies sound so good and easy to make. Thanks for sharing the recipe at Cooking and Crafting with J & J.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the week

I'm loving this week's cute strawberry-themed tea setting. Congrats on the school grads. Your sweet grandkids are growing up so fast! I've made no-bake cookies before using coconut flakes, but I'll have to try your PB version!
ReplyDeleteHow cute and I may have to make these with one of my Granddaughter's. I think I've made these many moons ago but thanks for mentioning them as I had completely forgotten about them. Happy new week!
ReplyDeleteLove the cup & saucer and teapot, and the desserts always look so tasty, Kitty. Best of all are the moments with family. And smart kids to teach their grandma new technology skills! You two are so cute together. ♥
ReplyDeleteLove your teapot Kitty, I would be extra careful with it too. Love all the strawberry serving pieces along with the cup and saucer. Cissy and you are adorable together with your cookies. I’m sure her family look forward to treats she brings home. What handsome young men you have and grow up so fast! I’m loveing the ease of this delicious recipe. Have a wonderful week.

Your teacups and teapots are always lovely!
ReplyDeletePlease tell your family that their pictures are wonderful!
You know...I have to confess that no matter what wonderful recipes there are out there for fantastic desserts, no-bake cookies will be a go-to favorite every time. My mom made these all the time when I was growing up and it also served as her fudge recipe minus the oatmeal. Just a few weeks a go, one of our patients was so sweet to bring me and the therapist our own plates of these yummy treats! Cissy has the sweetest dimples!
ReplyDeleteThat Cissy and her million dollar smile makes me grin every single time I see her. Congrats on her graduation and congrats also to Riley. You sure have a handsome bunch of grands, beautiful, too. (Gotta cover all the bases.) I haven't had no bake cookies in so long. They were a favorite for years and years.
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing the sweet pictures! God has blessed you with a beautiful family, my friend! Praying for you and sending hugs!
ReplyDeleteA lovely post with sweet memories in the making. Kitty, you always make me hungry when I visit! Wonderful pictures and a busy family!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful posting and those cookies must of made the family very happy. Cissy is getting so much wonderful experience!
ReplyDeleteOh I need to make some of these cookies. I haven't made these in a long time and they are so very easy and good. Adore that teacup and teapot. Just love the pictures of your beautiful daughter and grandbabies. My mercy! It just doesn't get any better than the grands. You and Cissy look adorable. Oh that sweet girl will have a lifetime of memories of baking with you. How precious Kitty. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
