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:

This is an old recipe from the 70's that I have recently rediscovered while going through some old recipe files. DH loves this for breakfast, it's supposed to make one loaf but I put it in two loaf pans to make a thinner loaf. DH thinks the crust is the best part and a thinner loaf gives him...

Thanks for the tips guys...I'll check them out. I have a collection of cookies that I make from year to year. I usually like to add one new recipe a year if I can find something that really blows my socks off. Unless I find something I like better than these cookies I'm adding them to my list.

Thanks, I'll do that. I have a hard time looking at Food Networks website. I live out in the boonies and all we can get out here is dial up so it takes forever for it to load. But I'll just set it to load and then go do something else for a while and come back. Thanks for the tip.

I made these to try them out for my Christmas cookie collection and OMG they are sooooo good I just had to share. TIPS*** I doubled the recipe and cooked it in a 9x13-inch pan and baked it for 30 min. I added 1 cup of chopped pecans to the caramel layer. I also made the shortbread layer...

They are good this way. I like the fact that any leftover dogs and buns can go into the frig in the same ziplock bag and be reheated at a moments notice...it's almost like a hot dog hot pocket. Your welcome...I hope you enjoy.

I came up with this recipe because we live outside of town and the closest grocery store is a 25 minute drive. It's much easier to make hot dog and hamburger buns than it is to drive and buy some. I also seem to have a hard time shaping a proper bun so I decided that it would be easier to shape...

Yes, I can convert it for you but then I can't vouch for what you will get when you make the cookies. Volume measure is such a guessing game. The hardest thing to get correct when using volume is the flour. People measure flour in such different ways that it's very hard to get it accurate...

Thank you.:chef:

No I have never tried poppy seeds but I'm sure you could just add enough to suit your taste. Yeah, the ~~~~~~~~helps to make things much easier to read.

I made some of the blueberry ones this morning and sometimes I forget just how good there are. They have a lot of good nutrition in them too because of the almonds. My Mom's Wonderful Muffins 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup sliced almonds 1-tablespoon...
