In deciding what to do for this Tasty Thursday there were 3 recipes I was deciding between, unfortunately all 3 were sweets. Therefore I'm pretty sure they are all high in calories.
Since my previous post was about breastfeeding I decided to go ahead and go with the Oatmeal No Bake Cookies. Oatmeal helps increase milk production in breastfeeding women. Over the past 6 months I have constantly craved these cookies and since they are fairly simple to make I have frequently made them. I'm sure after making and eating these I'm due for a couple clogged ducts!
So here's the step by step. The full recipe is at the end.
In a medium sauce pan add 2 1/2 cups of sugar, 1/4 cup of cocoa, and 1/2 cup of milk.
Stir until blended.
Heat mixture to a roiling boil and boil for about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and add 1 stick (1/2 cup) of butter. Allow the butter to melt, then add 1/4 cup peanut butter.
Stir until smooth.
Add 2 cups or more of old fashioned oats and mix.
Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper. Allow the cookies to cool and they are ready to eat.
Enjoy!

2 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup of butter
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 cups oats.
Mix cocoa, milk and sugar together in medium sauce pan. Bring to a roiling boil for 2 1/2 minutes (you can check to see if ready by using the water in the cup method). Add butter and let it melt. Add peanut butter and mix; then add oats. Spoon on wax paper. Let cool. Makes about 1 1/2 dozen cookies depending on the size. I only managed to get about a dozen.
