When you live a busy lifestyle, often times your relationship with food involves little more than a microwave and a fork, and that’s if you are lucky. I am going to be honest, I don’t have time to cook eloquent meals and most of my eating happens on the go. I like to think that I eat healthy and get a fair amount of exercise, but when you work hard, treating yourself to delicious desserts can be easily rationalized.
Aside from being a novice in the kitchen, most of the dishes I am familiar with are based on the Mexican traditions. For a good portion of theses meals there is a lot of time involved and the preparation is done primarily on top of the stove. I was only recently introduced to the world of no bake cooking. I was surprised to discover that many of the recipes only require a handful of ingredients and are super quick to make. To seal the deal, many of these ingredients were items I keep stocked regularly.
Now I know what you are thinking, “Wow it’s kind of sad it takes sugary treats to get this guy to make himself meals”. While I agree, no bake desserts like these 12 no bake cookies are not the most effective method for nourishing the body, the experience has definitely given me an inspiration to experiment with more with preparing other meals. Sure enough, a quick Google search for No bake recipes.
The recipes are especially ideal for kid of young ages because they are safe and fun to make.
