Rich and Creamy tomato basil soup

Recipe at Allrecipes.com So super yummy Ok, what I do to make this soup is take a #10 can size of crushed tomatoes from Costco, and put LOTS and lots of basil leaves in it along with the other spices... I adjust to taste, the recipe as is, is a little too bland for me, so I just add...well, more basil mainly : ) I also add some sugar to cut the acidity of the tomatoes, maybe 2 Tbsp. or to taste. I also add oregano, garlic and onions : ) I simmer for 30 minutes, and then take my hand blender to the pan, and puree it, (Hubby doesn't like chunks) Garnish with a drizzle of cream and more yummy basil leaves... Enjoy!

Shepherds Pie

Recipe at Allrecipes.com It made more like 8 generous servings for us. Instead of beef broth I used 1 cup of the potato water, and some "beef base" Turned out great EVEN with the layer of mashed carrots... (I didn't think my family would like that, but they did :) Hubby said, I can make this anytime, so that is a good review... I gave this 5 stars, due to my families reaction. I don't eat meat, so I really can't tell you how yummy this was lol... : )

Cool Whip cookies

Ok, These have got to be one of the easiest cookies out there!

*Take 1 normal size tub of *Cool Whip (WILL NOT work with lite or reduced)
*1 Box of Chocolate cake mix.... Or whatever you like, but these are chocolate, and they are yummy ; )

*Mix until you reach a "Taffy consistensy" may need to add a tsp or 2 of water

Roll into balls and place on nonstick sprayed pan.

Bake in oven @350 degrees for 8-10 min ( I did 10 on the nose... cooled for 5 on pan, and then moved to cooling rack... Hubby loved these...

Soft Ginger cookies, with Orange glaze

Recipe is HERE I made these on my trusty airbake pans... (I love those things) and the recipe for the glaze is HERE (I added orange extract... about a capful)

I ended up doubling both recipes and got about 50+ cookies

1 Cookie= 3 points.... without the glaze probably 3.5 with
