craving--satisfied (includes recipe)

Some days you just need to indulge in a craving.. especially on said days you were really good about what you ate and feel like you deserved it..

..Today..

I needed some no bake cookies.. they have been some of my most favorite cookies for the longest time.. and it doesn't help that they are soo simple to make! There is actually a cute story I thought about while making them this afternoon..

When I moved out from my parents house for the first time two years ago my mom had packed me a box of food from their house.While unpacking the box I found enough of the sugar, cocoa and oats to make these cookies a few times. It was very thoughtful of her and I will always remember how sweet it was that she wanted to make sure I was able to whip up some of these babies to make me feel at home!
