Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
This is a great recipe to have in your back pocket. It uses pantry ingredients and is gluten free. The cookies have a nice chewy texture, which is how I think cookies should always be. You can mix it up and keep it in the fridge for the moment when you have a hankering for a freshly baked cookie.
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 4 1/2 cups oats
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Lemonade Concentrate
I tend to drink mostly water and coffee, but there is something appealing and refreshing about a tart, cool glass of homemade lemonade. I love to have this in the fridge during the warmer months and enjoy lots of variations. It's tasty with a splash of vodka, berries, mint, basil, or the yuzu coconut water from Trader Joe's. I've been adding pineapple bubbly water and a lime lately--delicious!
Homemade Lemonade Concentrate
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 2 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice (about 15 lemons)
