Butterscotch and Beans, Not Together



I'm not a huge fan of no-bake cookies. It's probably because I was spoiled as a kid when my mom would bake cookies a few times a week. I never liked store-bought or even bakery cookies. They just didn't cut it. But Garrick and Kelly's cookie book is changing my bad attitude about no-bakes. This is the second no-bake recipe I've tested for them and it's another winner. These are the Butterscotch No-Bakes. So decadent and sweet tasting!

On the other hand, I'm a huge fan of bean salads. I love their simplicity, the straight ahead and no- nonsense nature of them, the versatility... well, just about everything! This one is a tester for Joanna (Yellow Rose Recipes) and I think it's my favorite of all time. With a great texture and an unusual dressing, it really notches it up. And check out the colors! This bean salad even tastes pretty.

Tonight's dinner: either fajitas, pad see ew or something else with seitan. We had a late breakfast (like noon) and I'm feeling indecisive. And full.

I'm jealous! I love cookies and Yellow Rose Recipes and you have both =) Any word on when the cookbooks will be coming out?

I know, I'm really, really lucky to be a tester. Every time I make a tester recipe, it drives that point home even more.

I'm not sure when Yellow Rose is anticipated, but Kelly and Garrick are hoping that their cookie book will be out in the fall. That's very tentative.
