PEBBLES MARSHMALLOW CRISPY TREATS

so, this is probably sac-religious, but i didn't want my bag of marshmallows to go to waste, and the only handy crispy cereal i had on hand were cocoa pebbles® . on the box there were also suggestions of other post cereals that can be used: honey bunches of oats, honeycombs, fruity pebbles, and banana nut crunch. maybe if i get adventurous i'll post my experience. believe me, i love the original rice krispies treat , but i do love these cocoa pebbles! plus, it will be a tasty treat for tomorrow's super bowl (assuming the husband doesn't get his grubby little hands all over them). PEBBLES MARSHMALLOW CRISPY TREATS RECIPE 1/4 c (1/2 stick) butter or margarine 1 pkg (10-1/2 oz) miniature marshmallows (6 cups) 13 oz cocoa pebbles cereal® (about 8-1/2 cups) microwave butter in 4-qt microwavable bowl on high 45 seconds or until melted. add marshmallows; toss to coat. microwave 1-1/2 seconds or until marshmallows are completely melted and mixture is well blended, sti...

AVOCADO MILK DRINK

yeah, that's right an avocado drink...don't be scared! as a child, i grew up specifically perceiving avocados as a fruit. one of my mom's favorite things is this avocado recipe. p.s. i devoured this in 5 mins. AVOCADO MILK DRINK RECIPE 1 large ripe avocado 3 T sugar (more or less depending on your preference) 1/3 c milk half the avocado and remove the seed. scoop out into your cup. add sugar and mash together with the avocado. avocado will look slightly darkened when mixed together. mash the avocado to your discretion...if you like chunks of avocado, mash less...for something more smooth that you don't need to use a spoon, mash more. add milk and combine. enjoy...this may be a little out there for some, but i love it! there's nothing like "good" fats.

SIMPLY BANANA BREAD

i was in desperate need to find a delicious recipe for banana bread. nothing is more decadent to me than a thick slice, warmed up, and served with a scoop of ice cream. as fate would have it, we were having a bake sale at work to raise money for st. jude's and there it was...a mini loaf of banana bread for $3. that first bite was full of banana flavor and it was perfectly moist. soon after, i had to track down this recipe...and, fittingly enough, it was at SIMPLY RECIPES . this is a no fuss, no electric mixer needed, bananas need not require over ripening kind of recipe and hopefully someday it will just come naturally to me. BANANA BREAD RECIPE posted by elise of simplyrecipes.com on june 15, 2006 3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed 1/3 c melted butter 1 c sugar (can easily reduce to 3/4 c), but really who are we kidding...bring on the sugar! 1 egg, beaten 1 t vanilla 1 t baking soda pinch of salt 1 1/2 c all-purpose flour no need for a mixer for this recipe. preheat the ...
