hi everyone, here is a recipe for oatmeal cookies that i claim are not just "low cholesterol" but hopefully will help actually LOWER your cholesterol!  i really miss sweets and cookies, and you girls that are trying to lose weight, these are not too bad for that, might satisfy the sweet tooth while helping your cholesterol. Oatmeal cookies   1 cup canola oil 1 tsp vanilla extract 4 oz egg substitute (1 small container) 1-1/2 cups brown sugar 2 cups oats (not instant) 2 cups oat bran 1 cup flour ½ tsp baking soda ½ cup raisins ½ cup walnuts (or you can use 1 cup raisins OR 1 cup walnuts if you don’t like one of them both!)   Preheat oven to 350. Mix moist ingredients:   oil, extract, and egg substitute.   Blend in all dry ingredients. Drop spoonfuls onto a cookie pan sprayed with Pam.   Bake 15-17 minutes or until lightly browned.   How long they need to be cooked is the toughest part.   For   really large cookies it takes longer, for smaller cookies a shorter amount of time. For about 2 dozen cookies I would cook them 17 minutes.   For 3 dozen smaller cookies I would cook them only 15.   Whatever you do, don't overbake, they get really dry and then they're no good at all! These cookies don’t last long fresh.   I enjoy them a day or two then freeze the rest and microwave as I want one (or two!). Also, this recipe is easy to cut in half.  

wash and skin one whole chicken then put it in a tqall container with water  a cup of chopped up onion clery and carrots really thin add  onion powder,garlic poder and Mrs. dash seasonings to the  water and cook till chicken is done. take off of heat   and pull out chicken save meat and ut broth in canning jars seal then put in refigerator.

It makes me 4 big canning jars or 6-8 small canning jars. I ccok the chicken broth in a  pressure cooker too. Um um good.

Thank you all for the recipes AND the seasonings!
I will definitely try them, they sound great.
I am SO cooking challenged, it's a wonder I eat at all. My grandmother owned a hotel in Arkansas where they served 3 meals a day until the early 60's, and my mother was not allowed in the kitchen when she was growing up, so I'm the 2nd generation of women in my family who can NOT cook! (secret to staying slim, lol!) If I cooked for you, you wouldn't eat either!
hugs,
Oona

I don't have any control over this aspect of the board. As long as people are posting - the thread stays at the top! Wish I could offer you more...

Hugs, Teri :)

Here's a healthy snack for when you are in the mood for something salty. PLEASE wipe your preconceived ideas from your mind - this is REALLY GOOD! It's also simple to fix, and should lower your cholesterol.

The snack: A bowl of Cheerios (your cholesterol-lowering oats) with melted Smart Balance butter substitute (blended to improve cholesterol ratio) on top.

Use Smart Balance to taste, starting with probably a tablespoon, melted. Just pour it on the Cheerios and mix it up so the cereal is covered evenly. Eat with a spoon.

It will remind you somewhat of buttered popcorn, but I actually like it better.

Caution: may prove addictive!
