“Make each day your masterpiece.”
– John Wooden
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups quick oats
- 1/4 cup nut butter (peanut, almond, cashew)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup vegan butter or coconut oil
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- pinch of salt
Stacy’s Suggestions and Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine oats, nut butter, vanilla, and salt.
- In a small saucepan, combine butter, sugar, and water.
- As soon as the edges start bubbling all the way around the pan, set the timer for 2:30 (2 minutes 30 seconds).
- Let boil until the timer goes off.
- When the timer goes off, remove and pour the mixture over the oats in the bowl.
- Stir well.
- Scoop unto wax paper/parchment paper and let cool.
- If you want regular no-bake cookies, use this recipe. When I make these I use 1/3 cup peanut/almond butter. I put the butter, milk, cocoa, and sugar into a saucepan and boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Then add vanilla and nut butter. Lastly, add the 3 cups of oats. Stir well to combine. Scoop onto wax paper onto the counter.
- Enjoy!
Stay close to anything that makes you glad you are alive.

Ingredients
- pork tenderloins (we get them at Costco already seasoned)
- 1/2 head of cabbage
- 2 cups mushrooms
- small onion
- olive oil or olive oil spray
- Nature Seasons (or seasons of your choice)
Stacy’s Suggestions and Preparation
- We love the pork tenderloins from Costco, which come already seasoned. All you have to do is throw them on the grill for about 15 minutes or heat them up in the pan or oven.
- If you don’t have a Costco near you, try this recipe.
- Cut up cabbage, mushrooms, and onions into pieces.
- Heat up spray olive oil or 1-2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet.
- Add cabbage, mushrooms, and onions.
- Season with Nature Seasons or your preferred seasoning.
- Stir occasionally. We like ours a little crisp so we try to get it to stick to the pan. Probably about 10-12 minutes.
- Scoop onto the plate and Enjoy!
