Monster Cookies

These are a newly discovered favourite! MS had them when he was a child, and I wish I had! :). If you love peanut butter cookies and chocolate chip - these are amazing- and easy to make!

Ingredients:

2/3 cup margarine
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup Peanut butter
1 cup flour
1 1/2 cups oatmeal
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup mini choco chips
1/2 cup smarties

Directions:

First, mix the margarine and brown sugar. Then, blend in the egg and peanut butter until smooth (don't mix for very long).
Add the flour, oatmeal and baking powder and mix until blended.
Then add your chocolate chips!
I scoop the mixture with an ice cream scoop, it makes the perfect sized monster cookie; and then top your scoop with four smarties.
Bake at 350 for about 10-12 minutes.

Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs

source: Google Images

This is more of a tip than a recipe. I love eating hard boiled eggs as a high protein breakfast or snack and enjoy adding them to salads etc. but have never had any luck with peeling them! They always tear and end up being a mess, this is a particularly annoying problem when trying to make deviled eggs. I have no idea where I found this method but it works every time ... like magic!Put desired number of eggs into a pot of water, use enough water to cover the eggs, add a bit of salt to the water, do not cover.

1. When the water begins to boil, shut heat off, cover the pot and set a time for 17 minutes.
2. When timer rings, empty water from pot and refill with very cold water, throw in a handful of ice - the colder the better.
3. Set timer for 17 minutes.
4. When timer rings, empty all but an inch of water from the put, put the cover on the pot and shake the pot vigorously for a minute.
5. Shells will either have fallen off the egg or will be very easy to slide off, no torn eggs, just perfect hard boiled eggs every single time!
