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.

Best Biscuit-Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole
This recipe for a breakfast casserole with biscuits and hash browns came about when I had all the ingredients for a great breakfast but didn't want to cook everything separately. I threw them into a casserole dish and voila! This is by far the best breakfast casserole I've ever had. It's wonderful when having "breakfast for dinner."
Swirled Citrus Butter Cookies
These citrus-spiked twists get their tints from matcha powder (finely ground green tea leaves) and ground turmeric.
Lamb-Mushroom Kabobs with Greek Yogurt Mopping Sauce
Unique mopping sauce to complement merguez dishes, especially traditional Greek-style kabobs. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Not a lamb fan? Then try this mopping sauce on chicken kabobs as it works great with both! This recipe was cooked rotisserie-style on the Kabob Buddie by Troops BBQ.
