A Cookie is a Cookie is a Cookie

Day 2, and I need chocolate.  I found a recipe for a super healthy no-bake and gave it a try.  It is all natural, whole grain of course, and contains no refined sugar or artificial sweetners.  No-bakes are my favorite because, well, you know- you don't have to bake them and all that crap.

Combine in a sauce pan and melt over low/med heat:
½ cup honey
4 tbsp cocoa powder

½ cup all natural butter
½ cup organic plain yogurt
1 cup all natural peanut butter
1 tbsp all natural vanilla
Stir in:
2 ½ cups oat meal
Drop onto wax paper, chill.

They are GOOD.  The kids even loved them.  The king of the castle is still deliberating... but I'll bet you a Canadian quarter he'll have another before bed time.  :)

Side note- and I don't mean to spoil a perfectly good cookie post with potty talk, but I have to add- I must be experiencing some kind of detox because, in addition to a wicked headache prior to my mercy coffee at lunch, my body has done a thorough job of emptying out today.  Nothing that might suggest illness... just a lot of waste that I'm not carrying around with me anymore.  Is that related to eliminating all additives and processed foods?  Ha ha eliminating; pardon the pun!
