I love to cook. It’s probably my one true passion and it’s a great kicker when I’m having a rotten day.

What does this have to do with the site? Well, I’m going to share some of my favorite recipes, ones I’ve come up with on my other, others I’ve modified. Considering that I live with a diabetic you’ll often Splenda replacements listed along with sugar.

As for the enchiladas… when Jenn posts her shortbread I’ll consider posting them.

This week I give you

Peanut Butter Fudge Refrigerator Cookies (which I swiped from my dad)

You’ll need
Hardware:
1 large cooking pot (the kind you would use to cook pasta)
Wax paper
Two tablespoons
Two cookie sheets
Room in the fridge

Software:
2 cups white sugar (or 1 cup Splenda baking sugar)
.5 cup of cocoa powder
1 cup of butter or margarine
.5 cup of milk
1 pinch of baking soda
.5 cup peanut butter (natural peanut butter also helps cut down on the sugar)
1 Tbs Karo Syrup (lite Karo works here as well)
2 tsp vanilla
3.5 cups of Quick Oats

Combine sugar, cocoa, butter and milk in a medium pot
Bring to a boil and stir constantly for 2 minutes
Remove from heat
Mix in baking soda
Beat in peanut butter, karo syrup and vanilla until peanut butter is completely melted
Mix in oatmeal
Drop mixture by tablespoons onto wax paper lined cookie sheets
Place sheets into fridge to cool for approximately 1 hour

In the immortal words of the Chairman “Allez cuisine”

Let’s play a little name game
You can use any resource you have available to you - the internet, books, friends or strangers, your address book - whatever you need.

• Start by counting the number of letters in your first name.

• Take that number and find that letter of the alphabet. (example: Daniel has 6 letters, so the 6th letter of the alphabet is F)

• Write a name that begins with the selected letter.

• Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you repeat or can not think of a name to go with the letter.
