Sometimes you just need a cookie.

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies | Inspiration KitchenOr 4. Or 17. Or 3 dozen.

Don’t you agree?

This past week, I’ve been on staycation. I’ve never done a two week staycation before, but I’ve gotta tell ya, I like it. A lot. I think I could get used to this staying home thing. I’ve heard of staycations before, and even know a few people who have done it, apparently, there is nothing like enjoying your own home, your town, and your own bed. Some people even go out of their way to make their homes like a hotel, even going as far as to get a new mattress from someplace like on Leesa.com, and they really love it.

I think I’ve learned that what I love most about staycation though, is that I can spend nearly all my time in the kitchen.

The theme this past week has been cook, eat. Cook, eat. Cook, eat.

Are you catching on to this whole staycation thing?

Now, if only all that cooking and eating part didn’t include lots and lots of dishes, I’d be all over staying on staycation full-time!

Anyhoo, remember how I told you that my favoriest cookies in the whole wide world was my Whole Jar Of Peanut Butter Cookies? Well, these Spicy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies come in a close second in our house; and they land at the top of The Husband’s list of favorites.

So, go bake and enjoy!

p.s. What is your favorite part of a staycation?
