Joyce Varner shares these recipes:

No Bake Diabetic Cookies
1 stick margarine
1 square unsweetened chocolate
1 cup ground raisins
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup ground dates
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 tsp. liquid sweetener
3 cups Quick Cooking oats
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup milk
Mix first three ingredients in saucepan.
Cook one minute stirring frequently.
Add all other ingredients.
Pat out in small cookies.
Do Not Bake.
This makes a large number of cookies, and they freeze well.

2 Tbsp. oil
1 cup warm water
1 pkg. yeast
1 Tbsp. sugar
Dash salt
Dissolve yeast in water.
Add remaining ingredients.
Put out on a surface which has been sprinkled with cornmeal.
Knead until dough is not sticky.
Put on ungreased pizza pan.
Add toppings you like.
Bake 400º for 15 to 20 minutes.

Recipe for Quarreling
I found this in an old Rebekah cookbook from the early 1900s.
Take one root of sassafras and steep in a pint of water.
Put in a bottle and when your husband, or friend, comes in to quarrel, fill your mouth full and hold it until they go away.
A sure cure.
