Tasty no-bake cookies made with quick-cooking oats, peanut butter, and cocoa. For best results, start timing when the mixture reaches a full rolling boil; this is the trick to successful cookies. If you boil too long the cookies will be dry and crumbly. If you don't boil long enough the cookies won't form properly.

This couscous with olives and sun-dried tomatoes is a delicate, flavorful dish that will satisfy vegans and carnivores alike! Inspired by my family's deep Coptic Orthodox Christian tradition, this is a great meal alternative during strict fasting times. It contains no animal products or fats but has enough flavor and visual impact to make you feel like you're not sacrificing a thing. I hope you will enjoy this recipe. Add chicken or prawns to make this vegan dish a carnivorous delight.

This no-bake Snickers pie tastes just like the Snickers bar you know and love—caramel, peanuts, and chocolate, but in a fluffy, creamy pie. Roasted, salted peanuts in the graham cracker crust add delightful crunch and salt. Any Snickers lover will easily fall in love with this decadent pie.
Funky Frito Fruckies
Anytime I can find a mixture of salt and chocolate, I jump on it. These cookies/candies are rich but wonderful. If you are not a big fan of chocolate, or want these a little less sweet, leave the chocolate off.
