Walking ol' Copper dog and Triceratops

It's still a bit chilly here in the Dakota tundra but that does not hinder our walks with Copper dog and Triceratops. Today we headed a few blocks down the street to campus. On the weekends we like to walk around the USD campus because it is so quiet and peaceful. The "no puddle left behind" policy was enforced today. We stomped them all!

Well, it's May and we woke up to several more inches of snow today. Before we go play outside in what I now think is the last snow of the year, we decided to make cookies. I haven't made homemade cookies in forever. Westin and I grabbed ingredients from the pantry and went to work. Didn't have an egg...no problem. I substituted applesauce and you would never know. I really like Bob's Red Mill 5 grain hot cereal for breakfast so I thought they would make a great cookie. The cookies turned out soooooo tasty. Butter and brown sugar don't make this cookie super healthy but using 5 whole grains as the base sure makes them wholesome.
