These Peanut Butter Captain Crunch Chocolate Chip Crisps use pulverized cereal for some of the flour to make a peanut butter malty cookie.

When my fiance and I were talking marriage but not actually engaged there were quite a few people who suggested that I use my OLD wedding ring and trade that in to get my new wedding ring.

Ummm.

I gave them a perplexed look.

Number one my ring was from Tiffany’s and while they do “trade ins” so to speak but you must spend a minimum of $10,000 to upgrade your ring.

Yes you are now all realizing that I had a very expensive ring before…don’t come try and rob me it’s in a safe deposit box. 🙂

And number two that’s just tacky to me.

Nothing like starting your new marriage with the bad juju attached to your old ring (yes I am superstitious).

I guess that’s part of why I wanted my mother’s diamond.

There is a lot of good juju on that diamond.

A lot.

I did not know I was getting my ring.

I had already owned the diamond as my mother had it put in a necklace for me.

My fiance took it without me noticing.

He chose what the ring would look like.

There aren’t that many surprises left in the world…I love that my wedding ring was one of those.

My parents had a simple ceremony and a brunch reception.

They didn’t have a ton of people.

And at the end of the day they were married and that is what mattered to them (still working for them 51 years later).

My mother wore heels and towered over my dad.

She had a simple daisy bouquet and wore yellow and one big ass hat.

Anyone who follows me on Pinterest is nodding their head at this as there is a lot of yellow on those wedding boards of mine.

And while I am trying to keep it as simple as possible my fiance and I know a lot of people…and a lot of people are happy we are getting married.

Every time I put a picture up of us people comment and give thumbs up galore on Facebook.

So that’s our biggest issue.

We want the people who want to come to get to come. 🙂

I just have to figure out how to pay for that. 😛

Simple with a twist is what I am going for.

Kind of like these cookies.

I make these a lot.

They are deceiving because they are flat people assume they are crunchy…which around the ends they are…but the rest of the cookie is chewy.

Then there is the flavor that people just can’t place…Captain Crunch cereal.

Pulverized into a flour (aka food processed down into powder form).

It really does add something special.

And as always it’s a great day to order my cookbook.
