Pumpkin Spice No Bake Cookies

I don't want to go all pumpkin spice crazy on everyone, but I definitely enjoy myself some pumpkin spice. After seeing a picture of these gooey cookies on Facebook, I figured they would be a perfect fall-themed treat.

Yumminess!

I snagged the recipe from Once a Month Meals, so you can get the original here. My favorite part about no bake cookies (besides being pumpkin spice flavored) is that the girls can help make them!

First, we gathered our ingredients & supplies:
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup butter
2/3 cup milk
3 1/3 ounces of instant Pumpkin Spice Pudding Mix
1 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
3 1/2 cups Quick Cook Rolled Oats
waxed paper
medium sauce pan
silicone mixing spatula
teaspoon
wet and dry mixing cups
clean silverware teaspoon for scooping

Next, we began cooking:
1. In a saucepan, combine sugars, butter, and milk.
2. Bring to a boil and continue boiling for two minutes.
3. Remove from heat and add pudding mix to combine completely.
4. Add in pumpkin pie spice,vanilla, and oats.
5. Stir to combine.
6. Let stand 5 minutes.
7. Drop teaspoon sized cookies onto waxed paper and allow to cool.

Finally, (my favorite part) we devoured them!

February Festivities

This is the first weekend in a while where we haven’t really had anything going on, so the kids and I went crazy with the crafts and activities! Valentine Boxes First, we made the girls’ valentines boxes. Bah wanted a Valentine Monster, and Boo (of course) wanted a pig. I saved her pig from last year for almost the entire year but a little before Christmas she wanted to play with it and Bubs destroyed it. So we made a new one. They turned out pretty cute, and I love that as the girls are getting older they are able to help more. Valentine Gift -Denim Pouch After that, we decided to get some sewing in by making pouches as Valentines for our cousins and friends. We cut pieces of old denim and sewed them to create pouches. Then, the kids cut shapes and letters out of felt to personalize them. This project was much faster than I expected, so we even had time to make bath bombs. Valentine Gift - Bath Bombs My kiddos all love bath bombs or bath fizzies, and they were excited ...

With a chick, chick here...

I think I may have gone completely crazy. We just added FOUR more animals to our brood. Yes, you read that right, FOUR. Now, not only do we have a dog, a pig, and two turtles, we also have four chickens. Bah is an animal lover - through and through. She is the pig whisper, worm charmer, and bug catcher. She has been asking for baby chicks for a few weeks now, and I kept telling her we had enough to keep us busy and didn't need any more animals. Then, her cousins got baby chicks and she (in her own words) just "couldn't stop thinking about baby chicks!" So after Boots and I had a long talk, we decided that maybe chickens would fit in fine with our little zoo. His reasoning was that he likes giving the kids responsibility and teaching them about where their food comes from. They know better than that food comes from the grocery store, but since we are not raising cows or meat-pigs, they do not have first hand experience with food-to-table animals. Therefore, w...

Beet harvest 2016

Sugar beet harvest is a crazy time on our farm with early mornings and late nights. I am at school or at home with the kids for the majority of harvest, so Boots and our truckers were my official photographers. Tractor with Digger & Loaded Trailer Sugar beets are a root crop, so they grow underground. The harvesting process begins with the defoliating tractor which rips the leaves off of the root. Field of beets 1/2 defoliated and 1/2 not yet defoliated Tractor and defoliator Defoliated beet Next, the beet digger uses a two part system to pull the beets up and run them through scrub rollers. These rollers then push the beets back to the elevator chain belt and into the tank. There are also Ferris wheel style diggers that circulate the beets into the tank.
