Not-So-Bad-For-You Cookies

1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers (reduced fat)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 14 oz can fat free sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp baking powder
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup softened butter
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup coconut flakes
1 tsp vanilla extract

preheat oven to 350. mix graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and flour in one bowl. in another bowl, beat milk and butter until smooth. add vanilla and stir. add crumb mixture and stir until well mixed. add chocolate chips, walnuts and coconut. drop by teaspoonfuls onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. the recipe says to bake 12 - 15 minutes, that was too long for my oven. after a couple overcooked batches, i found the perfect cooking time to be 7 minutes. just keep an eye on them.

makes 4 - 5 dozen small cookies

hana is obsessed with these things!

Cousin Brad's Burgers

Last night I made hamburgers the way Brad taught me to years ago. I mixed approximately 1 1/2 lbs hamburger meat with a packet of dry onion soup mix. De-lish!

Leftover Omelet

Last week I made taco soup but instead of hamburger meat, I used chicken. While searching in the fridge for something to cook for breakfast this morning, I came across a small bowl of what was left over. I drained the juice off of it and made an omelet out of it. I added chopped fresh cilantro to the eggs and sprinkled a little more on top of the finished product. The whole thing was topped with a little 2% milk mozzarella and 2% milk cheddar. (I use 2% milk cheese to cut back on fat, I find that the fat free cheese does not melt and it tastes horrible. 2% milk cheese is just as good as the real thing!) Enjoy!
