Mom, I'm booooooored...

It's that time of year. There are a couple of weeks left to go until school starts (around here, at least), and the kids are getting antsy. What to do?

I say, cook with them! (Really, does this surprise you in the least?) If it's not too hot in the house, make and decorate some sugar cookies, or bake a Quick Chocolate Cake.

Too hot to bake? Make this yummy, simple dip that I tried today (as long as there aren't any peanut allergies in the house). This would be good with apple slices, with graham crackers (maybe chocolate graham crackers?)...really, with just about anything that's good with peanut butter; I was dipping some animal crackers and Triscuits. Four ingredients, mix, and serve. It's that easy.

Thanks to my friend Vanessa for this recipe. ¡Besos, mi amiga!
