Okay, so you know the recipe for fake oreos. Make those.Then dye your frosting red. Use it to draw little black widow markings on your sandwich cookies. Chocolate chips for the eyes, and chocolate dipped pretzel sticks for the legs. Or you could use black licorice if you wanted to ruin perfectly good cooki...
alright, I am enjoying the recipes people are coming up with, and getting all sorts of ideas for fun and exciting challenges (how about : only recipes you invent yourself, imagine the possibilities!) But Halloween is approaching, and other more significant celebrations that follow shortly after. So there is this party coming up, Halloween themed and with a circle of friends that have a whole lot of inside jokes. What I need are dishes (healthy and not) involving spiders. Spider looking, spider...
This is a German breakfast that my roommate Tia used to make for us in the German house. Its pretty simple-but for some reason, tasted amazing.You take a couple pieces of bread (preferably wheat) and cut them into 1 inch squares. In a fry pan, heat up a little bit of olive oil. Add some pepper to it, and then throw in the bread. Pan fry it until the bread is toasted. In another pan, at the same time, make scrambled eggs. Serve both hot, with ketchup and orange juice. I know it sounds weird,...
I know Nancy posted our usual recipe for this, but I learned a trick in college from my roommate Kim. This makes green bean casserole absolutely amazing- even Brody will eat it this way. I made it the other night and there were no leftovers. Here's my secret:Use the same recipe that Nancy posted, but add 1 dollop of miracle whip and 2-3 dollops of sour cream to the cream of soup before you mix it with the green beans. Thats for one of mom's oval casserole dishes, so for a 13x9, I'd at least double...

Here it goes:2 boneless skinless chicken breasts1 jar salsa1 can rotel1 can shoestring corn1 can yello corn2 cans black beans1 can olivesSpray your crockpot with PAM first, trust me. Then put the chicken breasts in and cover with the jar of salsa and can of Rotel (undrained). Cook for 2 hours on high if not frozen, 4 hours if they are still frozen. After they're done cooking, remove and shred. To the crockpot add the corn and beans (drained and rinsed) and the can of olives (drained). Add the...

The ingredients and steps are simple. But getting it just right... a little trickier.2 Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs5 Tablespoons Melted ButterMake the crust, press it in a 9" springform pan.Filling:3 8z Pkgs Cream Cheese1 C White Sugar5 EggsBest if you beat these together with a paddle not a beater, because air is bad (makes cracks). Also, don't go adding a lot of the liquid (in this case the eggs) until you have the cheese beat smooth. It's almost impossible to get lumps out of anything once you...
This is an invention of yours truly, with a little help from mom. This summer, I did the linger longer food every week for the singles branch. I wanted to make this salad stuff I had at some random baby shower in Worthington, but it was in cute little pastry cups, which i could not afford for the linger longer. so it got all twisted around and made into BLT Pizza!!You need:Cresecent RollsSour CreamCream CheeseLettuceTomatoBaconOkay, its like vegetable pizza, where you take pillsbury crescent rolls...

I made a most lovely salad this summer for movie night at my friend Becca's house. It was the first original recipe I have made, I think. I used Merle's salad with the mandarin oranges and almonds as a basis for thinking of the ingredients, and then found my own combination. It was extremely easy, and I got so many compliments, I have made it a few times now. Spring Greens bagged lettuce (no, not iceburg - this texture is important to the berries, plus it is healthier by far)1 Pint Raspberries or...
Nancy's salad post reminded me that nobody has posted Cookie Salad yet. This isn't dessert, no way! It has been served on the table with the meal every time I have eaten it, so it can't be dessert. Besides, it has fruit in it, so it is healthy. Instant PuddingWhipped CreamBananasMandarin Oranges (optional)Keebler Fudge-Striped CookiesMini Marshmallows (optional)To start, make some instant pudding. I like vanilla. Do as many servings as you have people who are going to eat it. Stir in a container...

In a shameless attempt at garnering more points and further procrastinating my paper, I am posting the vinaigrette for the preceeding salad as a seperate recipe.In my defense, lest you judge to harshly, it applies to much more than this salad, and has so many possible variations that it was a cumbersome addition to the salad post.You really need to know one major principle in the making of any vinaigrette. Are you ready? Its a ratio. 2:1.Tough, right?That's 2 parts oil for one part vinegar. This...
I am avoiding a paper, and by doing such, noticed that other's neglect gives me ample opportunity to win this particular challenge.So let's talk salad for a moment. An important pronciple I learned from the French is that salad does not always mean lettuce and dressing. In fact, since salad really just refers to the blending of various fresh things, it doesn't even necesarily have to refer to vegetables at all, meaning fruit salad could simply be referred to as salad, and if you wanted to, say,...
Another one shamelessly stolen from John Kline. I hope he doesn't mind me using his recipes here, but I justify it thusly: 1. I've credited him with them. 2. I've voted for him.This is the quick way to make pumpkin bread: Mix 1 can of canned pumpkin, 1 tsp of Allspice, 2 eggs, 1/3 cup of milk, and a package of pound cake mix from the store. Bake 1 hour in a loaf pan (greased/floured) at 350 degrees. I've only tried it with pumpkin, but I bet it would work with banana too. Although I would...

So in response to my own challenge, I offer this new recipe that I created all by myself, based in principles I learned from a woman named Solange and a cookbook I received from a very attractive man named Jean-Charles. (Note here, I listened to these people particularly, because French women frighten me just a little and because attractive French men are a rarity to be savored. I'm just sayin'.)The recipe came up because I was in need of an accompaniment cd, so I cohersed my very busy friend Bryan...
I was just noticing in the tags that we seem to have a weight issue, and I mean that on so many levels. Go ahead, look at it, and see if you can notice the problem.........That's right, there are 44 desserts, and the other sections barely even acheive half that.Unbalanced, for sure.Now, to be fair, I have, I am sure, contributed to the problem, and in addition, it seems like a reasonable thing to have more recipes for the things we like to eat and create. But why don't we see if we can't step it...
Picked this one up when we went to Nauvoo for the big family reunion. It's from Sister Prince, I believe she was one of the missionaries there. Everyone loved the fresh bread at the family living center. But I haven't tried recreating it yet.5 Cups Hot Water1/2 Cup Potato Flakes1/2 Cup Sugar1 Cup Powdered Milk1 1/2 T. Salt1/2 C Oil or Shortening2 T Yeast10-14 Cups FlourCombine hot water, shortening, potato flakes, powdered milk, and sugar. Stir to dissolve shortening. WHen temperature is tepid,...
Okay, this doesn't really taste fried to me. But I like the parmesan/italian breading, and it keeps chicken breasts moist if you want to bake them. We have to double the recipe. It comes from our U.S. Congressman, John Kline. I've worked on his campaigns, and he used to hand out these recipes to his constituents, as sort of calling cards.6 Chicken Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, Patted DryMix together2/3 C Dry Breadcrumbs1/3 C Parmesan Cheese1/2 T Garlic Salt Pour 1/4 C Italian dressing in...
