Bishop Kelson's Favorite Rice Krispies Treats

These were so requested when Bishop Kelson was our bishop that he copied off the recipe!


1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
Heat to a bubble stirring constantly, take off heat immediately after it bubbles.

Thoroughly mix sugar mixture with 1 cup peanut butter.

Add 6 cups Rice Krispies to the mixture and mix well, push down into a well buttered 9 x 13 pan.

Melt and mix 1 package semi sweet chocolate morsels and 1 package butterscotch morsels together and spread over rice Krispies mixture.

Let set until cool.

Stuffed mushrooms

I came across this recipe in the Magic Bullet brochure. It would be a good appetizer but was so  easy and delicious it is a fun side to any meal.  I had some filling left over and tossed it on warm pasta-fabulous!

10-12 large mushrooms
1/4 c low fat Ricotta Cheese  (2 pts)
1/2 c fresh spinach
1 oz Parmesan cheese  (3 pts)
1 clove garlic
1/4 of regular onion
splash of chicken or vegetable broth

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Start off by...popping off the stems of the mushrooms, making area for the stuffing.
Load all the ingredients, except the mushrooms in the magic bullet, blender or food processor. Pulse until the consistency is slightly textured but not quite smooth.  Spoon the mixture into the mushroom tops and cook on a lightly greased baking sheet for 15-20 minutes.

1 frozen banana (I slice mine before freezing)
1/2 to 1 cup almond or coconut milk
1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
2 T unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 t cinnamon
2-3 cups fresh spinach leaves
6-7 ice cubes

Puree all in blender and enjoy!
