Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies
Good, cake-like textured cookie with many different possibilities for variation. I used Pumpkin Spice pudding mix and added caramel bits & raisins. Perfect for Autumn. Tasted like little mini pumpkin cakes. Could have used a bit more spice though. Can always add some next time.Using a small cookie scoop, the recipe made approx. 6 1/2 dozen cookies. They're thicker than I expected - especially with using a full 1-cup butter. That's a lot of butter. It should have been a flatter cookie with that much butter. I think it may have something to do with the high temperature. Would like to try again, decreasing the oven temp to 350. A good cookie for folks who like their cookies soft.

Pumpkin Pie Spice I
WONDERFUL. I was going to buy pumpkin pie spice at the store yesterday. But it cost $5.49 for a tiny 1 oz. jar. I thought that was outrageously expensive. This mix was right on the money -- and used what I already had in the spice rack. Ingredients were the same as listed on the jar at the store. THANKS FOR SHARING!

Spaghetti Sauce Mix
Excellent and frugal recipe. My mom used to make spaghetti using the mix, and everyone loved it. I used the mix recipe, but with a twist. I browned grown beef, onion, green pepper, and fresh garlic. Stirred in 1/4-cup of the mix, 2 cans tomato paste & 4 cups water. Let it simmer while I cooked spaghetti. Turned out great -- and cheap too. My kind of recipe.
