For years I have eaten my Mother in Laws no bake cookies and wondered why mine never turned out perfect like hers.  During quarantine this year I decided to perfect my recipe so here it is. Tried and true. Always turns out and never runny or dry and crumbly.

Ingredients

2 cups sugar               1/2 Cup milk(2%)              1/4 cup cocoa              1 stick of butter(i use blue bonnett)

3/4 cups peanut butter        1 teas vanilla            3 cups of oats

Bring sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa to a boil. Boil hard for 2 minutes(no less or they wont turn out perfect). After boiling remove from heat and add your vanilla, peanut butter, and oats.  Stir well then drop by spoonfuls on wax paper. Will set up in 10 minutes.  

*Important note you will usually have to make multiple batches of these because they are gone instantly

Boiled Cabbage

As a Southern Girl you might be surprised to here that I am NOT a fan of boiled cabbage.However, my husband loves it. I decided to perfect a recipe that would knock his socks off and compliment his bowl of pintos an cornbread.  I would like to state that my husband enjoys everything I usually cook but for the first time ever my husband said its the BEST hes ever had.  I thought I would share :

1.  Cut Cabbage removing the hard stem. Slice each quarter into 1-inch wide strips.
2.  In a large pot, add 2 tbsp butter, 2 TBSP olive oil, 1/2 tea. seasoning salt, 1/2 teas salt & pepper, & cabbage.
3. Stir in 2 cups of chicken broth and mix until coated.
4. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover and reduce heat to medium low.
5. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until cabbage is tender. Do not overcook.
