I just printed them out too! I heard you can;t cook w/ nutrasweet (oatmeal cookies) since it doesn't do well in heat. Can you substitue with Splenda which is real sugar but spun in a way that your body does not recognize it as sugar...

Just an extra cooking tip.
Even though you recipes don't contain milk
If they did and you want a bit more protein add milk powder to your milk and use it. It has protein of milk and extra protein with the powder.
