My cooking tragedies
When I was little (aroun 10 or so) I made my dad a coffee cake. I wanted to impress him... well the recipe called for .5 cup cold coffee... It didnt say you had to MAKE the coffee first! Let me tell you - the grounds gave that cake some flavor! And it weighed about 5 lbs....

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie
oh my GOODNESS! Made these twice in two days...once as a test for the hubby's co-workers and after the ok again today. They are so GOOD!! I followed exactly - refigerated 20 min or so and used a smaller size ice cream scoop to give me more cookies. The first batch today had a slight mishap - the oven somehow was bumped to about 425 and the cookies were done in like 10 min. I thought they looked burnt but they were SO good... crunchy on top and bottom with bits of crunchy chocolate chip and a very moist almost raw inside. Cooked just enough. Thanks for the recipe!!!

Candied Kielbasa
delicious!! Cooked in the oven in a 9x13 pan. I cooked for 90 min stirring after 30 min and every 30 min thereafter. Next time I will use a smaller dish as these turned out very delicious but a tad chewy on the ones not soaked in sauce. Added a little bit of bbq sauce, a splash of hot sauce and a bit mroe saurkraut.

Sugar Free Brownies
Ok - I am not diabetic but do try and eat low carb. That being said - I made a couple changes that made these pretty good! I took one packet of SF choc pudding and put it into the 1 cup measuring cup. I then made up for most of the difference with Splenda but did add .25 cup sugar (for sweetness) I also added mint choc chips and I used a stand mixer with a whip to fluff it up. I then sprinkled coconut on top. YUMMY... very dense and cake like.
