Friday morning brought my helpers here to cut down the lavender and roses. I know the roses will need another cutting down in Spring but for now the long stragglers have been shortened. So thankful for all their help.
The city workers have finally finished digging up our street and also replaced our water meter. They left the site where they dug quite smoothed over and we still had some mulch to cover it.
No Bake Chocolate/Peanut Butter bars

3 cups oatmeal
1/4 tsp salt

Cook for 3-4 minutes.
Press 1/2 into 8X8 pan ( she said she'd make it in
a bigger pan next time so I used my 7X11 pan)
Filling:
1 cup chocolate chips

Melt in microwave, When melted and smooth
spread onto oatmeal base. Top with remaining oatmeal mixture.
Refrigerate.

Almost forgot to add that today, October 12, is my blogaversery. 13 years.
Thanks for visiting.
Your garden is so lush! Just beautiful even this late in the year.
ReplyDeleteThe recipe sounds like the no-bake cookies I used to make all the time for my boys. But I like the idea of a bar cookie instrad.
Happy 13th blogaversery.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for sharing the recipe.
All the best Jan
That recipe sounds yummy, and it made me think of the chocolate no bake cookies...I have not made any of them in years!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you had helpers in your yard.
Happy blog anniversary!

Thank goodness for your garden helpers! The recipe sounds easy and very tasty :)
ReplyDeleteGood work, right done! I did not know, that roses will need another cutting down in Spring. We have some roses and lavender, too.
ReplyDelete13 years! Well done. I sometimes find it hard to keep writing, feeling i have nothing very interesting to say. But I would miss the contact with people.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the photos of your garden and envy you your crew.
ReplyDelete13 years! I'm not even sure how many years it is for me. I guess I should look it up! :-)
Your garden is so lovely and green! I must try that recipe too...

It is such a good feeling to clean up the garden in the fall, and having that feeling shared among several workers is extra satisfying. No doubt your yummy treats elevate the mood, too!
