Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies (No Bake)

I have an obsession with peanut butter!! I LOVE it! I eat peanut butter on toast every single morning for breakfast. I also bring home MANY boxes of peanut butter Cheerios from the United States every time I travel. If it has peanut butter in it...I will eat it!!!! 

So when I found these cookies on Pinterest I knew I had to try them out! I did make a few changes to the recipe, so if you would like the original recipe, check out my Pinterest page!

What you need: 

3 1/2 cups instant oats

1/3 cup peanut butter

1 tbsp vanilla

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

1/4 cup butter 

1/2 milk (we use soy)

-Mix together the instant oats, peanut butter, and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Set aside.

- In a saucepan, mix together white and brown sugar, milk and butter. 

-Cook over medium heat, constantly stirring-allowing it to full boil for 1 minute!

Chicken Broccoli Casserole

What you need:

3 cups shredded chicken

3 cups cooked broccoli

1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

'Garlic Plus' seasoning 

-Preheat oven to 350'F. 

-Mix all ingredients together in a mixing bowl.

*To get my 'shredded chicken' I put 3 chicken breast, and 4 cups of chicken broth in my crock pot. Cook for 8 hours on low. Take out of crock pot and shred the chicken with a fork. SOO easy!! 

Mix everything in a bowl!

Bake for 30 minutes. 

Serve with rice and another veggie.
ENJOY!

It was a Key Lime Pie, and let me tell you...It was delicious!! And I was super impressed that he made it all by himself!! Way to go Steve!! Now you can teach Damian how to make pies! ha ha! 

Proud of his Pie!
And so he should be!
