Six, Seven, Eight Layer Whatever

Everybody has their own recipe for this and it is one of my favorite throw together desserts.  You don't have to put anything together in a bowl, get out a mixer, etc.  It's just throw things in the pan and bake.  I love it.  It is one of our traditional holiday treats we keep around and I really was craving it the other day, so I made a pan.  I was short on coconut, so I had to wait a day to make it, but it was worth it. 

Six Layer Cookies

1/2 cup margarine
1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk

Preheat oven to 350 and put the stick of butter in a 13x9 pan and put it in the oven until the butter is completely melted.  Remove pan from oven and add remaining ingredients by layer in order that it is listed.  Use a back of a spoon to flatten.  Bake about 25 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.  Remove from oven.  Cook on rack then refrigerate for at least 3 hours.  Makes 36 bars.

Everyone has a version of this recipe.  A lot of people put in butterscotch chips as well.  I just thought I would share in case you don't have the recipe.  :)

Adam came home from Memphis last night just in time to give the girls a bath and help put them down for bed.  The girls were happy to see them.  After we read the book Llama Llama Red Pajama, Aubrie said, "that was a good time."  I enjoy reading that book with feeling.  It is kind of my way of letting the girls know what it sounds like when they are constantly whining and crying for their mama.  :) 

Today our buddy Higgs and Katie came over to hang out.  The girls had a good time with him.  He's now RUNNING!  I swear he just started walking yesterday.  He's a lot of fun to have around.  We went out for our usual Mexican food dinner tonight.  Tia met us there to enjoy a meal with us. 

I started crying this afternoon.  I recorded Katie Couric's interview with Regis Philbin on 20/20 and watched it while the girls were napping.  I love Regis!  It is so sad that he is leaving.  I've watched that show since I was little and Kathy Lee was on the show.  Regis just makes me laugh and he has the best stories.  I started to watch today's episode of Live! but got interrupted so I'm about to go finish it tonight.  Laugh all you want, but I'm going to miss Regis!!

Love to all!!
