No Bake Cookies

1 stick margarine or butter

1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup peanut butter

Melt butter in large saucepan, add sugar, cocoa and milk, bring to a boil and let boil for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Add peanut butter, oats and nuts, mix well. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper, refrigerate until hardened. I've also just left them on the counter to harden (as soon as you can possibly pick them up, my kids start eating them!!) YUMMMMY!!

Napa Cabbage Salad:



3 tablespn Sesame Seeds
½ Cup Cashews
6 oz bag of Almond Slivers
1 package of Ramen Noodles (Any flavor - you do not use seasoning packet)
2 tablespoons butter

- Melt butter in pan, add almonds, cashews, breakup Ramen noodles and then add sesame seeds. Toast until golden brown on medium heat. Be careful not to burn these, as they brown quickly if you don’t keep an eye on them.

-Once browned, cool on plate or cookie sheet. Reserve mix until you are ready to serve salad.

**********
2 heads of Napa Cabbage - thinly sliced
1 Red Bell Pepper- small diced
1 Yellow Bell Pepper - same
1 Green Bell Pepper - same
5-6 green onions
¼ stun black pepper

- Combine all veggie ingredients in large bowl. (This salad will shrink, once you marinate in dressing. You can transfer the salad to a smaller bowl once this occurs.)

********************
Dressing/Marinade:

¾ Cup Olive Oil
½ Cup Raspberry Vinegar
½ Cup Sugar

-Combine the above ingredients and wisk briskly until combined well and sugar dissolves.
-Marinate and chill the veggie portion of the salad 1 hour prior to serving.
-Add nut/noodle mixture and toss just before serving, so the mixture will stay crisp.
