Cookie Salad --Becky Hadley, Marshall Public Library, Pocatello 2 big packages of instant vanilla pudding 2 cups of buttermilk* 1 large tub of Cool Whip 1 can mandarin oranges, drained 1 package shortbread cookies Mix ingredients together except the cookies. Crush cookies into pieces and mix in just before serving. Sometimes I add other fruit, whatever I have on hand. *Hint if you don't have buttermilk: To each 1 cup plain milk, add 2-3 teaspoon lemon juice. Let sit for 2 minutes then add to salad.

Salt Body Scrub --Leslie Twitchell, McKay Library-BYUI, Rexburg 1/2 cup sweet oil (almond, grapeseed, olive or rice bran oil are all good choices) 1 cup sea salt (altho salt from the local grocery store works just as well for less) 5 drops essential oil Combine oil and salt in bowl and mix well. Add oil and combine well. To use, apply to dry skin using circular strokes to exfoliate the skin. Best to use inside of tub or shower to avoid making mess. Shower off or follow with warm bath. It is suprising how smooth it makes your skin feel. Don't use if you have any cuts or scrapes in your skin. Variation: Use sugar instead of salt, for gentler scrub. I saw this type of body scrub in the mall for an astronomical price as the salt was from the Dead Sea. This recipe works just as well. Click here for more Weird, but Cool Recipes |
