Check out the flowers and herbs on my new patio! :)I have been going all day! I woke up at 5:45 and couldn't go back to sleep, so I thought I'd prepare something...I can't say that I baked these cookies, though :). My initial plan was to submit them to Grace's Beat the Heat event, but I got so caught up in moving, flying, packing, and unpacking that I didn't realize the due date was fast approaching; it passed me by.
Since I'd already thought about making these cookies, I went ahead and made 'em. They don't require the use of anything electric, and they come together in one bowl, in just a few minutes! Flour/dairy free, these cookies remind me of the Fall, which is kind of funny considering I was originally planning on making something cool and refreshing for the summery event. But lately the weather's been odd here in Boston. Actually, maybe it isn't odd. I have no idea if it's usually this cool and rainy during August, but it's definitely new to me. I'm used to the unbearable Texas heat :P. Just last night I had to put on a sweater; it got down to 60 degrees! So all this rain mixed with nice days/cool evenings has me thinking about the Fall...it's just right around the corner, and I can't wait! I've heard that the New England area has beautiful Autumns; the leaves actually FALL and change color here?! Yep (again, we don't have much of that in Austin).
So here's a simple recipe for some no bake cookies. I would write more, but I'll be honest, I'm way too tired! After going to the farmers market, then taking 4 different subways into Boston, then seeing the Wharf, Quincy Market, and the yummy Italian bakeries in the North End, I'm pooped! I had a great time, though :). So I'll leave you with this recipe and a few fun photos of today's events!
(Oh, before I forget, I finally got that brand new oven/stove and it works beautifully! :)

Mmm, those cookies sound fabulous!!
So glad that your brand new oven/stove works!!
You deserve to rest after all the busyness!! Enjoy your weekend :0)
what a nifty recipe! I think I'll try these soon.
Photo's are fantastic. I want to visit. It has rained here in the UK for the last 2 weeks almost - so I can sympathise!
Cookies sound great
These sound great! I hate that so many no bake cookies have condensed milk. My son would have fun making these.
These cookies look great. I'll definitely be giving them a try-- very fall-ish indeed. Fall is so gorgeous in Boston! And, it has been oddly cool lately. I don't remember having my AC off so early in the past (in New York). Anyway, the summer coolness is perfect.
happy to hear that you're the proud new owner of a decent oven! these yummy cookies would've been a terrific entry for my event, and since i haven't posted the roundup yest, i'm adding them in. :)
I love these, they look so good! So happy that you got your new oven, too! When i saw the post title I figured you hadn't gotten it yet.
Oh wow, do these look tasty! I have got to try these!
Boston looks like an interesting place to live in :) And no-bake cookies? Fab! Just the kind of thing to have when you want a cookie but can't be bothered turning the oven on.
These look so tasty, it sounds like you have had a really busy day! I went to Boson once and loved the market, I thought it was amazing and there was so much food to try!
