Can you use splenda in no bake cookies? The kind that uses oatmeal, coco powder and peanut butter? I'd love to try it and reduce a few calories. Thanks.

What's your favorite way to make potatos? I like to cut mine up into bite size pieces, toss them with oil and california style garlic salt then broil them for 30 minutes, until they get nice and soft, with just a hint of brown.

I usually wash and change my bedsheets when I've finished washing clothes. I've been told that sheets should be changed at least once a week. How often do you change your sheets? Why?

kristys_red_barn I love the feel of sheets dryed on a clothes line, nothing else quite like it. Now if I wasn't so lazy I would iron mine, they feel great if they are starched, but I am much to lazy to iron sheets.

I've looked at realtor.com. Is there any better website to use to try to find a house?

kristys_red_barn You can look around your area and take note of the different real estate companies and then look at their personal websites. A lot of companies don't list houses on realtor.com. You might also check out the real estate section on ebay.

What's your favorite breakfast food to cook? I've been on an egg sandwich kick here lately. I make it with a whole wheat bagel, two fried eggs and a slice of pepper jack cheese. Yum! So good. What is your favorite breakfast?
