Those look sooooo good!! My husband just left for two weeks away with the Army and our little guys are missing him like mad. He goes away frequently for short time periods and I like to make them things they can use for creative play so they can expand their imagination - and forget for a bit that their daddy is gone. Yesterday I made them Indian Warrior headbands out of leather scraps (I blogged about it with instructions, it was surprisingly easy and inexpensive!) As for food we make stove top popcorn as a "special treat." .-= Jessica @ Life as I See It´s last blog ..<a href="http://paulsbride.blogspot.com/2010/02/dress-up-indian-warrior.html" rel="nofollow">Dress Up - Indian Warrior</a> =-.

I just made some of this (added a little brown sugar and milk to make it stick together) and now I'm eating the dough. There are no raw eggs to worry about (not that that usually stops me) and it's yum-o! It was never meant for the oven! :) Yum.

Just this morning I could tell my little guy needed something special. So I whipped together a baked oatmeal. Boy did it lift his spirits. I sometimes wonder why I don't do nicer things for my kids. They are pretty straight forward in the food department, it just has to taste good. They don't care if it's easy or not. I may just be making these cookies. Looks yum! Funny you should ask.

Never heard of cookie brittle before but it looks delish. :) We all have grumpy times as moms, what a great little "I love you" treat for kids! As a special treat around here, it's a swing by Dunkin' Donuts. They LOVE that! Or a "silly face" sandwich, where you have an open faced PB sandwich and use fruit or pretzels or raisins or sprinkles (for freckles!) to make a silly face for lunch! They get such a kick out of it! .-= Stacey @ The Blessed Nest´s last blog ..<a href="http://theblessednest.blogspot.com/2010/02/kitchen-pantry-inspiration.html" rel="nofollow">Kitchen Pantry Inspiration</a> =-.

I always feel bad snapping off at the kids and it usually isn't their fault its just a bad day or morning for mom. I think the cookie brittle is a great way to redeem yourself. !!!! Sometimes we feel just saying sorry isnt enough so cookies always help to take it over the top. If I feel bad I usually bake cookies or a cake works everytime. .-= Tina @ Mommy's Kitchen´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.mommyskitchen.net/2010/02/friendship-casserole-dinner-for-friend.html" rel="nofollow">Friendship Casserole - Share Dinner with a Friend</a> =-.

Hmmm I suppose I make some type of cookie, but we don't do sweets too often and when I do make them, the girls usually want to help. Actually more often than making cookies, I'll sometimes pick up a favorite food item when I go grocery shopping. Something that I normally wouldn't buy. They love that. yummy, these look great.
