Best Peanut Butter Cookies in the Whole World!

“How come you never make these peanut butter cookies?” asks my husband.
“Because they are TOO GOOD!”

That doesn’t make sense.
Yes, it does.

They are so good, once they come out of the oven and are melt-in-your-mouth warm, you cannot help eating a whole stack of them with a glass of milk.

I’m drooling now writing this.

They are that good. They are also good cold. They are good at midnight, and they are good for breakfast.
That’s why I don’t make them very often.

Besides, they are made with peanut butter, so the kids can’t take them to school, which means there are even more at home.

I make them on a weekend, March break, in the summer, or at Christmas. If I have to.

I have no idea where the recipe came from. I think it came from a flyer in the mail one, time.
Enjoy. And I double-dog-dare you to try to eat just one!

Peanut Butter Free Bird Feeder Craft

Peanut Butter Free Bird Feeders

Last week I was asked to participate in a kids’ nature night expose in our town. I needed an activity for the kids to do at my table that would go with the nature theme. Also, it had to be something that both toddlers and older children could do and enjoy!

Bird feeders!

However, the easiest bird feed I could come up with was the traditional peanut butter on a toilet paper roll.

But, because this was a public event, I did not want to bring in peanut butter.

This is when we realized we could use lard!

Birds need the lard/fat to help keep warm for the winter and it works just as well as peanut butter!

How to make a bird feeder with lard instead of peanut butter

Collect toilet paper rolls.

I was lucky enough to have good friends that I could ask them to save me theirs, and they did!

With a knife, cover the toilet paper roll with lard. Make sure there is a thick layer covering everything.
Put bird seed on a plate or a shallow bowl.
