June 10, 2014 at 10:17 pmI have an oatmeal scotchie recipe that did this until I changed up the ingredients a little. I’m going to have to compare this recipe with those two recipes and see what I can do. We loved the taste!

June 10, 2014 at 10:23 pmThanks for linking up! You can’t look at all those pictures until after you eat!

June 10, 2014 at 10:23 pmZan, I am so thankful that you pointed out that you couldn’t see the posts. Someone else mentioned it to me, so I started calling my hosting and asking questions in the blog help group. Short story–I changed themes. Now I have a lot of work to do, but if no one can see the posts and link up to the parties, then why blog?

June 13, 2014 at 10:07 pmI have never used a food scale before and wasn’t for sure how I would use it if I gotten one. Looks like I may need it to help the portion of foods I eat. I keep hearing good things about the bamboo cutting boards. I need to stop staling and just get them already! And yum, your cookies looks so good! #ProductReviewParty

June 17, 2014 at 1:14 amEvery type of scale takes forever to zero out! I hate that. I just received some awesome bamboo cutting boards too and am in love!

June 17, 2014 at 9:06 pmI have never thought of using a scale in the kitchen to get my ingredients exact. My husband would love this because he hates how I guess.
