My cooking tragedies
When I first got married many years ago (25+), we got our first microwave and I attempted to cook carrots in a corningware dish with a glass lid...anyway, I inadertantly set the timer for 25 minutes and went out in the backyard, next thing I knew the glass lid of the corningware was a molten mass and the carrots had turned into little charcoal briquettes! My husband has never let me hear the end of that one! :)

Wild Rice and Turkey Salad
This was VERY easy and VERY tasty! I am always a little leary of making something that has hardly any reviews! I came across this recipe while looking for recipes to use up leftover Thanksgiving turkey, I threw in some dried cranberries for some different texture and the rice I used was a brown/red/wild mix that was leftover from dinner the other night - fabulous recipe for something thrown together and using the fat-free dressing makes it really friendly for the waist line! Thanks for submitting the recipe Ginny!

Roxie's Bran Muffins
Excellent use of leftover/stale Bran cereal! I did not have any bananas so used 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (and foregoed the apple as well), I also subbed Splenda - 2 tbsp. for the honey as I had no honey! :) They just came out of the oven and they are nice, light and fluffy! (Oh yeah, they do need baking powder - I used 1/2 tsp for the batch). Thanks for the recipe! I needed one in a flash and this one was Exchange recommended!
