There were two treats I was allowed to eat growing up, oatmeal cookies and rice krispies.

My parents were strict on what kind of sweets I could eat, but for some reason rice krispies and oatmeal cookies didn't fall into that category. I'm thinking it's because my grandma made the cookies and rice krispies and she always substituted most of the ingredients with something healthier...at least for the cookies.

As I was making rice krispies, I was thinking about how awesome my childhood was. I was not allowed to watch TV during the weekdays and only on the weekends I could watch one movie. However my brother, sister, and I must agree on what movie. So most of my childhood was spent playing outside, thankfully our house had a gigantic front and background, so my imagination was so vivid and creative. So whenever my grandma called us in for dinner, she usually had oatmeal cookies or rice krispies.
