 **Extra Post this week, since Thanksgiving landed on Thursday** Hope you don't mind a double-dose of m.o.m!
Does anyone remember these cookies? They're from the Betty Crocker Cooky Book .A blast from my childhood for sure! Oh how I loved looking through the pages of cookie photos, hoping we could make every recipe. Tis the holiday season, so we thought we'd give you another simple recipe that is easily transported and can sit around for a while. These no-bake cookies are a perfect sweet treat for a party or as a gift.

 Yep! I've been having fun in the kitchen today! I made this Deep Dish Cookie Pie with just a few minor changes. I used a few less chick peas, since I was working with a portion I had frozen rather than cans. I increased the applesauce to 1/2 cup so as to to have a weird bit of applesauce spoiling in the fridge. I added some vanilla and I accidentally (REALLY!) put in 1 1/2 cups of Ghiradelli 60% dark chips instead of just one.
I'm taking this to my in-laws for desert...pretty sneaky, huh. It's usually a ... |

 I know there's a shortage of pumpkin but when all of you folks that ordered it begin cracking open those cans, consider making Pumpkin Gingerbread Refrigerator Oats before bed for some hearty and seriously nutrient-packed morning grub.
The refrigerator oats were pretty dense in the nutrient department on their own but after I stirred in a tablespoon my chia mixture (1/2 white, 1/2 regular chia), boy oh boy, just look at all that green log goodness.
Also, it made our morning so pleasant as momma didn't have to make anyone breakfast this morning. And Maya said it tasted like ... |

 It was the summer after of her eighteenth year. Her confidence was as high as her hopes and her long, golden hair fell temptingly upon firm, supple, youthful skin.
The ocean breeze drifted across bare shoulders as she glanced out into the deep, emerald waves. The look in her eyes said it all: she wanted a granola bar. What? Not exactly the oats you thought we were sowing here today? Hey, this is a NUTRITION column!
Oats are a whole grain and full of soluble, heart-healthy fiber, but because we tend to think of eating them in a steaming, Winter-warming ... |

L_Green | What is the difference between regular oatmeal and steel cut oatmeal?
The only difference I've noticed while cooking and eating it, was size and texture.
And did someone say something about soaking oats before cooking???
I think I'm moving from instant to cooking it myself.
