This Sunday at my WW meeting they were giving out packages of Pizza Pretzel Thins. YUM! I love pretzel thins anyway but the the pizza was tasty!

I think I like these better withOUT the cocoa! But they are still “hi-point”. 😦

PB No Bake Cookies
1/3 c. skim milk
1/2 c. honey
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
pinch salt
1/2 c. peanut butter
1/2 c. Splenda

Combine the milk, brown sugar, and honey in a large pot over medium-high heat; bring to a rapid boil for 90 seconds. Stir the salt and peanut butter into the mixture and remove immediately from the heat. Add Splenda and oatmeal quickly and mix to combine. Make sure the texture is thick with a little bit of sauce, but not too much sauce. If needed add extra oatmeal. Drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough 2 inches apart onto aluminum foil or waxed paper; allow to sit 1 to 2 hours before serving.

Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men…It is the Lord Christ whom you serve. -Col. 3:23, 24 NASB

I thought this was good! I used 4 oz of light cream cheese instead of the 8 oz of ff cream cheese. It gave it a slightly sweet flavor so if you don’t think that would appeal to you maybe use 2 oz of light cream cheese and a little more flour.

These were good, but not as sweet as needed. Honestly, I’m not sure I used a whole cup of Splenda though…but I really think a 1/4 cup of brown sugar is what is needed here, plus the Splenda. So, i’m going to post the recipe as I think it should be.

Maybe these were better right out of the oven. But that’s not what I did. I made them, refrigerated them then took them to work and warmed them back up.

I loved this book! It’s a page turner! I loved that it was written how she talks–her southern phrases and dialect. But Paula was extremely honest in this book. You are in for a surprise. And you get to see how she has overcome the trials in her life.

I love this DVD! There are 10 5-minute exercises to work your abs, thighs, chest, back, arms, shoulders, hips, inner-thighs, waist and buns. If you do just 2 toners (10 minutes) you could work your all body in 5 days! I especially like that each toner is just 5 minutes long. I can do most anything for just 5 minutes!
