Easy No Bake Cookies for those w/ peanut & dairy issues

Last weekend (or was it 2 weekends ago?) I was in the mood for some chocolaty, easy no-bake cookies, but because of some of my (and the other half's) dietary issues they had to be made w/o peanut butter (or peanuts) and w/o dairy. So, I went digging thru several recipe websites and really couldn't find any recipes meeting those requirements; however, I was able to find enough ideas in several of them to concoct my own. :)  


The version below uses Coconut Milk (you could also use Almond Milk or Soy Milk), very little sugar, semisweet toll-house chocolate chips, flaked coconut, and of course oats (make certain it's the instant oats otherwise they won't hang together well). Those of you who have tried and liked the potato soup recipe w/ coconut milk will probably also like this one. AND it takes care of that sweet and/or chocolate craving very well --- one little cookie will knock out both cravings.


Ingredients:
      1 C   Coconut Milk
      1 C   Sugar (white or brown or you can try honey--if you do, please let us know how it turns out!)
   3/4C   Butter (or margarine or butter-flavored vegetable shortening)
      2 C   Semisweet Chocolate Chips, melted (put in Pyrex & microwave; you could also use carob chips if you don't like chocolate or milk chocolate chips. (Although if you use milk chocolate, decrease the sugar amount. If it's chocolate you're craving, the darker chocolates will knock out that craving better than milk chocolate. ;>))
      3 C   Flaked, Sweetened Coconut adjusted to taste (if you use unsweetened you may need to increase the sugar)
      1      teaspoon Vanilla (real vanilla extract. This is also handy to help with toothaches until you can get into the dentist---soak a cotton ball in the vanilla extract and hold it on the tooth. Repeat as needed until you get into the dentist. This will not work with imitation vanilla; it must be real vanilla extract.)
      6 C   Instant Oats (we'll add this slowly as we mix, so use more or less as needed)
      Wax Paper & Cookie Pans
      
Cook:
Put the chocolate chips in a 2 C Pyrex container and melt it in the microwave. Check the softness after 1 to 1.5 min (90 sec) and mix & extend as needed. You'll need to do short increments to avoid "boiling" the chocolate.


In a pan large enough to hold all the ingredients above, on the stove top mix together the sugar, butter, and milk and bring to a boil for 2 minutes. Add the vanilla an stir. 


Add the chocolate chips. You may need to keep on the heat (not boiling) to completely melt the chocolate so it goes into solution with everything else in the pan.


Turn off the heat.  Add the Instant Oats, 1 cup at a time and mix thoroughly. You may want to alternate the additions with coconut as you make sure the mixture doesn't dry out too much to stick together.


When you have a sticky, gooey mess, line the cookie pans with waxed paper and spoon onto the wax paper to set. These are quite rich, so for smaller cookies use a teaspoon; for larger ones use a tablespoon.


Enjoy! A batch this size lasted two of us over a week (and the other half ate most of them!) :)

Dolores Cannon books & vids & info

I just stumbled across Dolores Cannon and her books & videos & info in the last few weeks. She's a hypnotherapist who's been doing past life regressions for the last 40 years! And my or my, what a wealth of information she's managed to collect. :)


Her technique is to (after view a life or several lives) pull in the higher-self, the soul self, the over soul, the super-conscious. She just called it the "sub-conscious" because at the time she first started doing this she didn't know what to call it.


The video link is about 47 minutes and she talks about all kinds of things, including the vibration shift and the split that will occur and how to eat to maintain that higher vib.  More reasons to ramp up your vibration as high as possible this year. :)  Enjoy!

beauty tip (courtesy of my dermatologist ;>)

As we age and birth the wise old crone, depending on our genetics we may find things growing where they didn't before, growing where they don't belong, and other areas becoming thinner and not replenishing themselves as they once did. What's the quote? Growing old isn't for the faint of heart! :)

To help with some of those "growing where they don't belong" things (like skin tags) here's a frugal tip my dermatologist told me about:  Instead of going to the dermatologist for skin tag removal, buy an over-the-counter cryogenic wart removal kit. These kits work just as well at freezing the skin tags (as they do at warts) so they fall off over the next week after freezing.

I would add one note of caution to this:  Please, follow the directions on the kit EXACTLY as written. And if you have skin tags near your eyes, or growing from a lid, those probably do warrant a trip to your dermatologist!

Skin tags result from the skin cells getting the "wrong" message that tells them to pinch off and become entirely separate from the rest of your skin. Remember from basic biology, your skin is your largest organ! And it has protected you throughout your life from all kinds of nastiness, including UV (ultraviolet), IR (infrared), viruses, bacteria, and all sorts of invaders. Your skin has also taken a hit if you ever smoked (decreases the elasticity, especially around your face and mouth).  AND it has protected you from all sorts of background radiation that is naturally occurring. Basic genetics also tells us that that very same radiation can cause genetic damage. So that combined with a genetic pre-disposition (did your mom or dad or both (like mine!) have skin tags as they aged?) means they will start showing up more and more frequently as we age.

Our immune systems also aren't as strong when we age, so you may indeed find yourself removing all kinds of strange things! This is also true for animals and is why giving them immune-boosting food and/or supplements is a very good idea. My elderly dogs don't eat nearly as much as they used, but since I've been making sure what they do it is full of immune-boosting goodies and high in vitamins and protein, they've been a bit more spry the last few weeks. One of them does indeed have several warts growing in various places, including one in his third eye. We have frozen that puppy off several time and it just keeps coming back, so I'm hoping the immune boosting food I've switched them too will also help those warts disappear. We know now that warts result from a virus, and that when our immune systems are stressed or just depleted as they get older that lets opportunistic critters (like viruses) take a hold.

So, be nice to your skin! Thank it for all that it has done for you and continues to do. 

until next time,
