    ISO Kid's Lunchbox Fillers

    how about homemade chicken strips? If yo're kids like spicy, you could marinate strips of breast meat in hot sauce overnight and bake them in the morning. Or the "fried" variation. Coat the strips in egg yolk then dip into corn flakes and bake in the oven. Sauce possibilities are endless.

    Frozen S'mores Recipe

    I tried something like this once and found that the ice cream added moisture to the crackers making them taste exactly like those you find while eating packaged ice cream sandwiches.

    No, to be honest, biscotti was the first thing I had baked in my entire life! I was more intimiadted by overbaking a pound cake or oatmeal cookies rather than baking sometihng twice. How ironic!

    My Baking Progress Report

    Ya I noticed that happened with me too. I also noticed from my several attempts that sticking the logs in the fridge for a little bit made slicing the biscotti much easier. With the second bake, if you find that your biscotti seems soft when you fniish baking it, don't put it back in the oven...

    Potluck ideas...

    Well I was thinking more of an appetizier than can be prepared perhaps ahead of time and doesn't have to be reheated or prepared right before the party and wrapped in tinfoil to retain heat. I don't want to make a dip because the hosts are saying that there will be PLENTY of salads. I was hoping...
