Holy cow, these have become a staple in our house the past few weeks. Matt's been eating them for breakfast and lunch. good thing I usually make a good dinner for him, or he'd eat them then as well.
Growing up our family didn't make these very often, because my dad doesn't like them. I don't know why, probably the sugar overload. Anyway, the recipe's easy, and they're ready in about 15 minutes or so. and they don't involve too much mixing by hand, which I don't like doing very much.
No Bake Cookies
1 cube butter
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup cocoa powder
dash of vanilla
4-6 cups oats
1/2 cup peanut butter (optional)
boil butter sugar and milk for about 2 minutes, add cocoa powder and vanilla. Take off of stove top and add oatmeal (and peanut butter, if you so desire. We never desire). spoon onto a tray and place in fridge. Makes about 2 dozen. (I put wax paper on the sheets so I don't have to wash them!)
It's like our new sunday tradition! and it's tasty.
As for the easter garland, I found this at Tip Junkie and thought it was great.
Basically it's easter eggs with holes punched out on each end and strewn together with string to make pretty decorations. (and cheap, which I'm ALL about) I can't get the image to load, so go there and check it out (besides, they have lots of other cool stuff on their page).
I'm going to hit up the after easter sales to get my eggs for this, because why pay full price when I can wait a week and get it for half price?

I loved the Easter garland idea and found cheap plastic eggs at Wal-Mart ($1.88 for 48) that already had holes in each end. So now my kitchen is bright and cheery with Easter eggs!

ooh, that's what I'll have to get! you can't beat the pre-cut holes! I wasn't sure how I would go about cutting the holes in the eggs.
