Great list! Here in Oregon we get our share of rainy days so your ideas will come in handy. Today, however, it's sunny and near 100 degrees!

Great post, lots of fun ideas.

I can't seem to find a recipe for it, but I've made these great peanut butter cookies where you add a mini Reeses peanut butter cup to the top of each cookie after you take them out of the oven---yummy!
