I’ve detailed my love for potatoes before, and here’s a recipe that never fails for a filling lunch.

You’ll need:
One large baking potato
Half cup mixed vegetables of your choice (Zucchini and yellow squash are great, bell peppers and onion are a good topping, or some people love broccoli)
¼ cup salsa
¼ cup light sour cream
2 tablespoons 2% milk shredded cheese of your choice (Monterey jack is a personal fave)
Spray butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Bake your potato for about an hour at 350, or until you can stab it with a fork and remove it easily.

While your potato is nearing completion, heat vegetables in a small frying pan coated in non-stick cooking spray. Season as desired. Read More »

No-bake cookies may not be aesthetically pleasing, but they’re so delicious it’s worth embracing your inner chubscout and forgetting their appearance. You can make them on the stove, get your chocolate fix, and keep the mess to a minimum. A-mazing.

Please note that there is peanut butter in this recipe, so for those with allergies, I apologize for being a tease.

You’ll need:

1—medium saucepan
2—sheets tinfoil (for your cookies to dry on)
½ cup (or one stick)butter
½ teaspoon vanilla
½ cup milk
½ cup (either chunky or creamy) peanut butter
3 cups oatmeal (any type)
6 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
