I made some recipes today!
In preparation for school, I compiled a few recipes to try in my lunches, and here they are.

Macaroni Salad
Starting with this recipe (at http://www.yummly.com/recipe/external/Classic-Macaroni-Salad-Allrecipes) I mixed and matched a bit, and ended up with:
2 c. cooked macaroni
1/8 c. white vinegar
1/6 c. white sugar
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1 Tbsp mustard
1 tsp salt
1 can green beans
1/4 tsp black pepper ( I didn't do exactly that, I kinda guessed)

All I did was mix everything up together and put it in the refridgerator for 4 hours. I think next time that I make it, I will put in less vinegar and mustard, and maybe a bit more salt.

Hibiscus-Mint Iced Tea
I used the recipe at http://www.yummly.com/recipe/external/Hibiscus-Mint-Iced-Tea-Martha-Stewart. It turned out amazing!  *sigh* I love hibiscus tea.

5 Ingredient Peanut Butter Bars
For these granola bars, I used this recipe. (http://www.yummly.com/recipe/external/5-ingredient-peanut-butter-granola-bars-333732) The dough that I ended up with was too dry, and although I added two  tablespoons more of syrup, it was still dry. I think next time I might add 1/2 cup more peanut butter and see what happens.

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
Found at http://www.yummly.com/recipe/external/Flourless-Peanut-Butter-Cookies-Allrecipes, these cookies were amazing. 'Nuff said.
