Tuna Salad

This is actually Shawn's recipe, which may become evident quickly. He has adapted it from his mother's tuna salad.

1 apple
2-3 dill pickles
1 can of tuna
1/2 sweet onion
Mayo to coat the first four
salt and pepper to taste

Shawn chops the apple, pickes and onion so they are chopped fairly small and then mixes everything in a large bowl. If we feel inspired, we sometimes squirt lemon on the mix.

No Bake Cookies

1/2 c. butter
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. milk
1/4 c. cocoa
1 good teaspoon of vanilla
1/4 c. peanut butter
3 c. old fashioned rolled oats

Melt butter in a 3 quart sauce pan. Add sugar, milk, and cocoa and heat on medium heat while stirring constantly. You'll want it to get to a rolling boil and then boil for 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in vanilla, peanut butter and then the oats. Drop by teaspoons on wax paper or just on plates to cool.
