No Bake cookies


I love these chocolaty, peanut buttery no bake cookies. You can't get much easier than these and so yummy. I have tried a few different recipes and this is my favorite. This one always sets up for me. I usually just pour it all out on a cookie sheet that I've covered with wax paper. Then break it apart into pieces. But for you guys, I made a few cookies for a nice picture. :)

No Bake Cookies
2 cups sugar
4 tbsp of cocoa (I usually make these heaping because you can't have too much chocolate)
1 stick of butter (this time I used smart balance 50/50 sticks and they worked great!)
1 tbsp of vanilla (I always leave this out. You can add if you like but vanilla is expensive and I'd rather save it for something I can really taste it in. I've never noticed a difference with/without it)
3 cups of oatmeal (I use 1-minute quick oats)
1/2 cup of milk
1 cup of peanut butter (I like to use crunchy sometimes)

In a heavy saucepan, bring to a boil the sugar, cocoa, butter and milk. Let boil for 1 minute. Then add the peanut butter, vanilla and oatmeal. On a sheet of waxed paper, drop mixture with an ice cream scoop or spoon into individual cookies. Let cool and they will firm up.

These yummy cookies definitely Work For Me!

Happy Eating!

Salt-Free Ranch Dressing Mix

I don't know about you but I really enjoy ranch dressing. The stuff in the bottle is okay, but if you look at the ingredients it contains some not so good stuff like MSG and added sugar. It also has a lot of added sodium. I'm trying to watch my sodium so I decided to make a salt-free ranch mix, then I can control the salt whenever I make the dressing or add it to a recipe. It's super easy to make your own ranch mix. If you make a batch of this up, you can have it already on hand to make ranch dressing or add it into other recipes. Let's get started! Salt-free Ranch Dressing Mix Ingredients: 4 Tbsp of dried parsley 4 tsp of dried dill 4 tsp of onion powder 4 tsp of minced dried onion 2 tsp of garlic powder 1 tsp of ground black pepper Combine the spices in a bowl and from here you can process them for a bit in a mini food processor to mix well and make some of the parsley smaller or you can use a coffee grinder as a spice grinder. Then place in a contai...
