Honey-Peanut Butter Balls

This is a great no-bake snack for those hot summer days. It is very good and gives you that little energy pick-up that you may want in the afternoons.


Honey-Peanut Butter Balls

1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup powdered milk
1 cup quick oats

Cream together honey and peanut butter until smooth. Stir in the powdered milk and quick oats to make a fairly stiff dough. Make sure all dry ingredients are moistened.

Form the dough into 1-inch balls and serve.

Family Recipe Book

One of the most precious gifts that you can receive is a copy of a recipe book filled with family favorites. Have you ever considered making one for your children? Recipe books can be simply a blank book filled with the hand written recipes. If you want to go "all out" and decorate the book you can make them scrapbook style.

This year, I am making several of the recipe books. I have a rather large collection of recipes and am organizing them to make recipe books as gifts. I am making them fairly simple with the recipes hand written.

Consider putting a book together for your children or as a fun family project inviting your relatives to share their own favorite recipes. Whether it be a general recipe book or a special occassion/holiday recipes book, the collection is sure to be treasured.
