7 Layer Bars...deluxe style!

     So, once again I haven't posted that much this week.  However, unlike the last time this happened, this is NOT because I haven't been busy in the kitchen. Polar opposite, actually--I've been baking so much I'm about tired of it! (No, this could never really happen.)
     I've been going a little bit dessert crazy, you see.  On a whim last week I decided to make 7 layer bars for my boyfriend, who loves them dearly.  I made them, but was unsatisfied with the results--they were quite tasty, you see, but a little too sweet, a little too rich.  I chucked up the problem as being that I used a little too much sweetened condensed milk for the size of my batch, & didn't bake it long enough, so aforementioned milk didn't really dry up--it was still by and large present in a syrupy, sugary form.  So I decided to make a round two, with the correct recipe presented in the following post!

Finite Incan-childhood:A Harry Potter week (and some Almond-or peanut- Butter cookies!)

     Contrary to popular belief (and, perhaps, hope) I have not, in fact, fallen off of the face of the planet. Hooraaaaaay!  Last week I was unable to get creative in the kitchen for a small myriad of reasons.

1. I had a take home exam for my summer class that was due by Wednesday.  Yes, it was take home, but for that reason it was extra-long and had nitty-gritty specific questions that required a lot of fact-checking and time consumption.
2. As last week saw the release of the final installment to the Harry Potter film series, I spent any free time I had re-reading the books. \
3. This also meant that I was going to go home on Thursday for the midnight premiere/following weekend, and as such, I opted to NOT go grocery shopping for the last week and a half and simply use up all the food I had.  This resulted in a lack of things with which to cook.

     But, now all that's over, and since I DID actually manage to bake a *little* something while I was at home, here's a reward recipe for the long wait-Almond Butter Cookies!

Keeping it simple: No-bake Peanut butter, chocolate, and oatmeal cookies

     Well, after the misadventures in my previous post, I admit I was a little bit hesitant to continue my cooking for the day.  However, I had a plan, and I wanted to stick to it.  Luckily this next recipe I tried proved simple, produced no errors, and tasted so amazing I had one, went for a walk, came back, had another, and snuck back down to the fridge five minutes ago to break off a chunk of yet a third.  I've noticed I tend to write novels with every post, which isn't necessarily what you all come for, so in keeping with a simple recipe, I'm going to keep the verbosity in the rest of this post to a minimum, pretty much, and just make everyone's mouths water with a series of photos of some delicious no-bake cookies.
