chefsmaniacs... Thanks for the link but I can't watch you tube :sad: I live in a very rural part of Texas and all we can get out here is dial-up. Your flan cake looks wonderful, we love egg custards and I'm definitely going to give this one a try. Thanks for the recipe.

Thanks everyone, this pound cake is really so good even if all you do is make it plain.

This Pound Cake is soooooo good, it has a velvety texture and is very moist. I decided to tweak it a bit and make half chocolate....wow....it is good!!! (To cut the cost of making this cake I use 2 sticks of margarine and 1/2 cup of shortening) I know margarine is supposed to be the devil right...

LOL... Yeah, probably not. Actually I didn't go to them either, I just have a copy of all my mom's recipes and I know where they all came from. I have some recipes of her's that have been passed down for several generations in our family and several that are heirloom recipes from friends of my...

This is the original recipe that I have from the 70's... It was one of those recipes that was passed around a lot at Tupperware parties. My mom used to have a lot of Tupperware parties. She couldn't afford to buy Tupperware but if she had a party she got free Tupperware for hosting. Cowboy...

I've have this recipe...we also call them Cowboy Cookies. They are good but I always found them a little dry. I haven't made them in years and haven't tried tweeking the recipe any. The taste is really good and this recipe would be well worth working with to get them a little moister.

Well I guess your just way stronger than I am because every time I have ever tried it without a mixer it was a spectacular flop.

An electric mixer is necessary to cream the butter and the sugar. It would be very hard to do a good job of that with just your hands. A hand held mixer would do the job and you can get one at Walmart for $10.00. There are many recipes when you are baking that need an mixer to cream butter and...

Your welcome, hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Yes, it is a nasty disease and wonderful caring people like yourself make it bearable for the families. The last 6 months of my mom's life she had gotten to the point that we couldn't care for her any more. She needed 24 hour a day care and we had to put her in a home that specialized in the...

Well I wish you the best of luck!!! My mother was a heart patient for as long as I can remember...it never really slowed her down. She just passed last year at the age of 87, but she died of Alzheimer's. It's a truly horrible disease that robs a person of all dignity and quality of life as a...

Oh, I didn't realize you were a heart patient, sorry to hear that. I have a friend who just decided on her own to go on a no fat diet and ended up making herself quite sick. Her doctor told her if she had just taken a fish oil supplement the whole incident could have been avoided.

Sounds interesting, I may give it a try. I love fresh cheese, I use a lot of the Mexican fresh cheeses in my cooking. It might be fun to make my own. You need to be careful with no fat...there are some vitamins that are only fat soluble. I have read some studies linking Alzheimer's with...

What is quark? I think coconut butter is supposed to be a heart healthy fat.

Thank you all...and Andy M....my pleasure. :chef:
