Traci's Yummy Treats

Here is the recipe for the yummy treats Traci brought on Friday. No these are not part of my diet....but they are so good!

Peanut Butter Yum Treats

All of these are approximations. So Add more or take away of whatever
ingredients aren't your favorite...


1 & 1/2 bag of white chocolate chips
1 & 1/4 C peanut butter

Melt together in pyrex bowl in microwave or in double boiler on stove
to prevent burning.
Pour over...

8 C rice krispies
1 bag of small marshmallows
1/2 bag milk chocolate chips
1/2 bag mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Mix well and pour onto a greased cookie sheet. Refrigerate until
set. Break apart or cut before serving. Best flavor is at room
temperature, but are yummy cold too.

Vegetable Soup Recipe

Note: I added the missing zucchini to the ingredients (2 cups)

Here is the yummy very healthy soup I made this week.

10 cups fat-free chicken broth, low sodium
4 red potatoes, cut into 1 inch cubes
4 cups onions, quartered
1 cup carrots, sliced 1 inch thick
3 cups celery, sliced 1 inch thick
2 cups zucchini, sliced 1 inch thick
8 ounces tomato sauce, canned
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 bunch cilantro, chopped
dash of black pepper

1. In a Large stockpot, combine the chicken broth, potatoes, onions, carrots, and celery. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-high and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes

2. Add the zucchini, tomato sauce, garlic, parsley, and cilantro. Reduce heat to medium-Low and cook for 10 to 15 minutes more, or until the zucchini is just tender. Season to taste with black pepper and serve.
