Recipe Wednesday

Recipe Wednesday


I love love looooovee no bake cookies.  They are seriously, just might possibly be...my most favorite cookie, eva.  No lie.  And the best part is they are so EASY!  Here's a recipe for you to try, sometimes I make them into bars instead and they are a little easier to store. 


1 3/4 cups white sugar

1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
3 cups quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa. Bring to a boil, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in peanut butter, oats, and vanilla. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper. Let cool until hardened.

Oh, Christmas Tree....

I had an incredibly busy weekend...here's everything that I did!
Went to Andy's wrestling meet in Elgin on Saturday, he got 2nd place.  The guy that got first is ranked 2nd in the 1A division, and he placed at state last year...

The team came out on top with a win though!!

My lovely cheerleaders...

I took 2 All-State girls down to practice thier cheer routine in Des Moines on Sunday, then came home and helped Jason set up the Christmas tree! 

Pretty, Pretty!

Bad picture (my camera hated the lighting), but we have silvery glittery glass bulbs hanging from our tree.

Another bad picture, but you can already see here that the cats have decided this is thier tree now.  Trixie already climbed it a few times last night!  Oh well... : )  It sure is beginning to feel a lot more like Christmas!

Imperfections make you, you....

Who are you?  Molly

Who am I?  I am me.

What makes you, you?  The people I love, the things I believe in, the way I live my life. 

What imperfections do you have?  I am stubborn to the limit (just ask my husband), I snore, I feel as though I need to plan out my whole life (tried, can't be done), I sometimes give up to easily, I want everything to be perfect, but it will never be that way, and you know what....I think I am beginning to be ok with that. 


Sometimes we strive so hard for perfection, that we forget that imperfection is happiness.

Three question Thursday

Hi!  I missed putting a recipe up yesterday, and I think that is ok...watch for next weeks!! 

Random thoughts for Thursday:
  • I love the scent Hazelnut Latte in my Scentsy right now...so yummmy smelling! :)
  • I am going to Cedar Falls tonight to pick up a Stadium Seat...they are those metal and fabric chairs that you set on the bleachers and then sit on...super comfy and awesome for wrestling meets!
  • I bought Dove chocolate yesterday and brought one to work as a treat... here's what the wrapper said..."Live from the heart and love life"...perfect!
  • I don't care for the smell of steamed brocolli, but love the taste of it...
  • I'm listening to Christmas music RIGHT NOW!
Ok ok ok...here's 3 questions:

If you had to move to a different state than what you live in, where would you move?
--Hmmm... this one is hard!  I honestly think I would move to New York.  I LOVED it there...the places, the opportunities, the change, the food, everything was so different, yet so good.  Not sure if I would want to live in NYC, or in the country, but I think I would get used to either...my second choice would probably be Alabama...I loved it when I did a mission trip back in high school and I think it would be amazing to live on the ocean.

What is my biggest fear?
--Losing the most important people in my life.  They make me, me.  I thank God for them everyday.

If you could tell yourself something when you were in high school what would you say? 
--Enjoy these moments.  They are never going to come back.  You are a unique and kind person.  It doesn't matter what brand of jeans you are wearing, how late you get to stay out, or if you are popular or not, none of that matters when you get in the real world.  Don't have regrets, follow your heart.  Your parents are trying to do what is right for you, don't fight them so much.  Live for yourself, and be happy.
