Father's Day foods

I know that father's day has come and gone, but still I have to tell you all about how we celebrated my husband and father of my kids! We celebrated with FOOD!

We woke up to a yummy breakfast of crepes with choice of cooked pear fruit filling or fresh peach filling and topped with sweet whipped cream.

This was more of a brunch, so no lunch was served. At dinner my husband wanted to order out some greasy pizza and we picnicked in the park. We came home and finished out the day with a cherry pie a la my husband's mother's recipe (or as close as I could guess her recipe!).
All in all it was a good day of eating.

No Bake Cookies

Chocolate No Bake Cookies are always a big hit... especially when you want something quick that won't heat up your house. My mother started making these after her younger brother was in college and used to eat them straight out of cooking pot. It became a great wheat-fee treat in my childhood home of no wheat or dairy. I used milk and butter in my recipe, but one can use water and vegi marg. just as easily to get dairy free!

Chocolate No Bake Cookies
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 cups instant

Directions:
Lay out wax paper BEFORE you make the cookies. Combine the sugar, cocoa, milk and butter in a saucepan. Bring to a heavy boil for exactly one minute. Remove from heat. Add the vanilla, peanut butter and oatmeal; stir well to mix up all the ingredients and make spoon sized amounts onto foil or wax paper. Let cool then serve.
