Today’s keeping it simple monster cookies are so yummy you won’t be able to eat just one. You kids will love these cookies! I love to make cookies year-round. I think M&M’s are probably my favorite. Plus, these cookies are loaded with oats and peanut butter. They are amazing! You’re gonna love these!

Food from the heart!

When I was in high school, I loved to bake. I loved to bake cookies. I think chocolate was my favorite but I loved M&M cookies as well. I liked to experiment with different flavors. It is so easy to take the basic cookie recipe and add in a few different ingredients to make them even yummier. These cookies are different than any others that I have made. They lack an essential ingredient that you won’t miss at all. Remember, I am going back to the basics and keeping it simple. I pray that you are making memories with your family and making the best of the time that you have together because life is short.

Food for the soul!

“Be well balanced, be vigilant and cautious at all times, for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring, seeking someone to seize upon and devour.” 1 Peter 5:8

Seek balance! If you want to simplify your life, balance is required. Don’t be afraid to cut back on things you don’t really need. Simplify your life!
