Who Needs…

Who needs the Geek Squad…
When you live with a PC nerd who is so proud of his free computer swag that he actually volunteered to show if off on his wife’s blog?
Who needs the beach…
When you can set up your Dora blanket, a beach bag, a beach ball, an umbrella, your sunglasses, reading material, several photos to remind you of home, and a pet giraffe, complete with a robe for sun protection and several necklaces to give him a bit of ”L.A. style,” right in your very own temperature controlled bedroom?
Who needs the stove….
When you finally, finally, finally find a microwave that fits a hole that apparently held the most bizarrely sized microwave ever manufactured? Sure it took 8 months to find, it cost an arm, a leg, a kidney, and half a certain 4-year-old’s college fund, but the fact that you can make oatmeal in less than 2 minutes again? Worth every penny.
Who needs Average Oatmeal Balls….
When you can make the real thing? Adapted from Martha Stewart’s recipe, found here.
Makes 10
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup natural peanut or almond butter
1 tablespoon salted butter
1 cup brown rice cereal
1 cup oats
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup chocolate chips
In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir honey, peanut butter, and butter until smooth, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cereal, oats, chocolate chips, and dried fruit. Drop mixture into cupcake liners (I used silicone cupcake liners). Place on a rimmed baking sheet, and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. To store, refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 week.
Try these, I promise you will LOVE them.
And who needs to suffer through another dinner of scrambled eggs….
When you can enjoy some great salmon at your best friend’s house instead?
I am off to take advantage of my beautiful friend Nadia’s amazing culinary abilities. Have a good night everyone!
