New month, new theme. The theme for February 2024 was going to be favorites. And then my favorite nurse in the department put in her resignation. 😦
I mean, I know why she put in her resignation. She isn’t treated very well by management. Sound familiar? But she’s an amazing nurse and an amazing circulator. She always has the patient’s best interest in mind, no matter if that goes against the OR culture. Frankly, the department will be diminished without her.
The theme for February will be Tracie’s Favorites.
As I’ve written before, there were a few bakers at the beginning of Cookie Thursday is a Thing, and one by one they all dropped. Tracie has been involved with much of my planning and discussing of the monthly themes.
Although she never got behind the most popular CTIAT cookie, the Jalapeño Chocolate Chip Cookie. She has always seen it as vegetables in the cookies.
I am starting this month’s theme of Tracie’s Favorites with one of her most requested cookies- the fudgy cocoa no-bake. These go by a bunch of different names. Peanut butter oatmeal stacks, school lunch special but I call them fudgy cocoa no-bakes.
This is one of the recipes that is a good repeat. Quick and easy to make and they last forever. If they last that long.
This is the cookie that I made to bring to the in-person day at school. Speaking of school, Tracie has always been my number 1 cheerleader for school. That isn’t going away, but conversations at the hospital are.
