Quick non bake Cookies - rated 2

This recipe comes from our friends at Bullfrog Springs. I have just tried it and wow it is a keeper. It is very sweet but easy to make. Instead of using oats you can change it up and use rice bubbles or cornflakes.

First Hand Testing

I will be testing, tasting and making everything first before I blog or share it with you. Plus taking a lot of photo's. I will also be rating each post as follows

1/Must make and share
2/Good to know - do try
3/OK - try it or not.

Welcome

I started this blog as I wanted a place everyone can come to find wonderful recipes that are from scratch. Or use little simple ingredients. You should be able to find simple things like household cleaner recipes, spice recipes, simple recipes from raw ingredients. Cookies and Dinners with little or no processed food. I love celery, carrots, onions and garlic - you can use them in most winter meals. I make sure I always have them in my house. You can grow celery inside during the winter too. I hope by learning these simple recipes you will also save a lot of money - especially if you take out all the process food. If you don't feel you have the time, you will be surprised how little time most of these recipes take - plus it should take you least time at the shop, shopping for all the processed foods!! So take you time and have a good look around. If you can't find anything or have something wonderful to share please let me know.
