Crispy Oatmeal Cookies

Once these cool they have a great crunchy texture—even my personal trainer binged on the container I gave her. Since this recipe is egg-free, the raw dough is always safe for "testing" (by the tablespoon). The dry ingredients and extra add-ins are available in the bulk bins of stores like Whole Foods.

Summertime Gazpacho

Mom would make a batch of this soup, put it in pitchers in the fridge, and we'd all just cruise by a couple times a day and fill up a pint glass (the slurpable aspect makes it great for picnics and BBQs). This is a casual and easy version of gazpacho, though it dresses up well for dinner parties with some croutons and diced cucumber as garnish. The soup can be prepared a day in advance, and is best with at least a couple hours to let the flavors blend before serving. It's also monstrously healthy, as it's 100% vegetables, fat free and low sodium. Serves 8+ as a soup course.

I grew up calling these "Snow Mounds," a much more descriptive name for these easy, crumbly sugar coated goodies.
