Frangranced Salt Scrub (Exfoliates Dry Skin)


O.k., so this is not a food recipe...but it is a gift recipe made from salt...which is somewhat a food. Anyway, this is great for teachers, friends, visiting teachees, etc. It really does make your hands (I haven't tried it on my feet, knees or elbows) nice and soft.


1/2 c. salt

1 Tablespoon EXTRA LIGHT olive oil

6-7 drops scented or essential oils

1 teaspoon cold water


Place salt in a glass bowl and stir in the oils and the water until well mixed. The salt will resemble a snow cone without the flavoring. Spoon into small jelly jar or other small sealed container.


Directions for use: Use one teaspoon of salt scrub and gently rub into hands, feet, elbows or knees. Rinse with warm water.

Homemade Truffles

This recipe is super easy and yummy, yummy, yummy!!!

1 package of regular oreos
1 8 0z. package of cream cheese
1 box of baker's white chocolate

Use your blender to crumb the oreos into a fine grain. Soften the cream cheese and combine the two. You will have to use your hands to mix it well. Form little balls of this mixture. Melt the white chocolate and dip the balls in it. Place on wax paper and allow to set. I put mine in the freezer for 5 minutes. Also, if you run out of white chocolate, you can roll the balls in powdered sugar. The powdered sugar balls are good, but not as good as the white chocolate. Store in the fridge.
