My 3 year old daughter and I made these using the suggested changes of 1 cup PB and lessening the flour to 2 cups. Instead of chocolate chips we used the Christmas M&Ms and reserved about 1/4 cup of them for her to put on the tops of each cookie. We also used a smaller cookie scoop (1 TBS?) to make the balls and then kinda flattened them with the spatula as they came out. They were fun to make together. I also froze half the dough in a roll to see how that would work out if I ever wanted to make them in large batches. The only drawback to this is that when you slice the cookies - you inevitably cut some of the M&Ms. (Also, if you use this method - you can wait till they soften a little on the pan and your kids can still add some M&Ms)

I also tweaked the recipe... made it in my FOOD PROCESSOR (love that thing!) Here is the winning combination: 4 cups dry milk, 2 cups of the Cinnamon Vanilla Coffee Mate, 1-1/4 unsweetened cocoa powder, 1-1/4 regular white sugar, and since it was a cinnamon flavor I did add 2 tsp of a really good cinnamon! VOILA! Perfect for hostess gifts or for our friends! We all enjoy it and I didn't find it too sweet this way!

Great baked fish recipe. Nothing super fantabulous, but really tasty! I did sub in dill for the parsley as I thought it'd be a good little twist. YUM! Served with steamed broccoli and a spiced up couscous which I made while waiting for the fish to bake.

This is our "go-to" recipe for a LONG time now.... Sometimes nothing else satisfies like this Greek Salad!

.... these tasted *ok* but the texture was just off. It was quite crumbly. I have no idea how the rating got so high and I don't often give sub-par reviews, but I had high expectations due to the reviews. I'll keep looking for that perfect peanut butter cookie....

So yummy! Added chopped kalmata olives also. Wonderful recipe! The tziki sauce was great too!

Okay - not that I shouldn't have known from the ingredients... but this weas like eating a CANDY BAR for breakfast. I only had one piece and I seriously feel the need to drink a lot of water to try to counteract all the SUGAR first thing in the morning. I used regular bread since that's what I had on hand and it was soggy... eeeeewwwww! So after baking it for 45 minutes I then put it in a pan and fried it (no more butter, just sprayed the pan) and it gave it a nice crispy kind of texture. It was just not the greatest thing for breakfast... for sure the sugar on top is overkill - if you wanted to make this I would suggested leaving out the sprinkled sugar and just doing cinnamon. And then just eat VEGETABLES the rest of the day.

This soup had me singin' in ITALIAN! OMGOSH it was soooo good and I'm not really one to rave over Pasta Fagioli! Really GREAT recipe! I only changed a few things... (which is big for me!) I chopped the onion ... I added 2 tsp of chicken bullion and a few dashes of salt too. I also added 1/2 tsp cumin and two parmesan rinds because it did seem like it needed a little something else. I didn't have the beans it called for on hand so I used one can of kidney and one can of black beans UNDRAINED... I didn't have the right pasta either so I used a tri-colored bow tie pasta which I DID NOT ADD RIGHT AWAY... I allowed the soup to simmer for an hour and 15 minutes - occasionally stirring it and I cooked the pasta separately so that it wouldn't get soggy with any leftovers. I just put in 1/2 cup of the pasta in the bottom of each bowl to serve and garnished with grated parmesan! Dang it was SOOO GOOD! Okay so... after typing this up it seems I did changes some things --- but let's just say I TRIED to keep to the recipe... oh yeah --- one more thing (I'm laughing now!) Instead of parsley - I always substitute cilantro.... I can't help myself. So... so much for not changing much! HA! Served with garlic bread - EVERYONE LOVED IT and most had seconds!

GREAT soup! I used chicken broth instead of water and didn't really measure it. I just add what I need as I go. I also used 1/2 tsp chipotle pepper instead of the red pepper flakes. I would have used more if our kids weren't eating it. Everyone LOVED it! (even 6, 4 and 2 year old!)

I hadn't ever done the whole NY black-eyed peas thing but figured I'd give it a shot - these were good! Because we aren't able to get ham (Saudi Arabia) I did substitute chicken... and made it more like a soup by adding some chicken bullion/water and cilantro. Used can of chopped tomatoes too and I can rarely be bothered to soak beans so used a couple cans of beans and it was a good quick meal. Kids loved it to so maybe it will become a new tradition... assuming we find the black-eyed peas again next year!

I'm a little embarrassed to say that I made "baked potato soup" without baked potatoes... so perhaps what I made was just Potato Soup... but nevertheless - because I didn't have any leftover baked potatoes - here's how I changed the recipe around a little and made a wonderful Potato Soup. I fried up the bacon and just kept it in as I sauteed the onion/garlic. Then I added the flour/spice mixture however I left out the salt because I always use chicken bullion in place of broth. After allowing that to cook about 2 minutes I poured in the 3 cups of water + bullion and got that boiling -- then added 2-3 potatoes cubed and boiled those until they were tender. I then used my immersion blender to mix it up a little and make it smoother and took it off the heat before adding the milk. We topped with the cheddar cheese and thoroughly enjoyed it, although I guess I can't really call it BAKED POTATO SOUP. this will go into our soup rotation for this time of year!

This was great in a pinch... I had all the ingredients on hand!

I *loved* this recipe! I hadn't tried a lot of fondant recipes before this so I was a little nervous! It was just GREAT! It is soft but after I mixed it, I just added a little more powdered sugar whenever it felt sticky. I rolled it out on waxed paper (making sure that the bottom part had a little powdered sugar so it didn't stick) then I put it into the fridge to chill before cutting it out. Worked like a charm! I'll definitely keep this recipe in my back pocket!

This is our stand alone recipe for pancakes for the past few years thanks to Cyndi for sharing... every once in awhile I'll try a different one and then I think... "why did I bother?!" and my kids really notice and ask for "the other ones!" We double it for our family with our 3 kids and we always serve our pancakes with plain yogurt and applesauce & a little syrup to give it a healthy boost.

GREAT RECIPE! I didn't have lemon grass so I substituted green onion (cut on the diagonal for presentation) and added carrots - as well. I did only use ONE can of the coconut milk because I personally find it too overpowering with more. It was easy and so delicious! I served it with spring rolls as a side.

Not our favorite. Texture was strange and ...We'll stick with our standby from this site.

We love to make pizzas on the grill when the weather is nice - this is a good workable recipe. I always make sure to add the flour slowly to get a good consistency for kneading.

Pretty dang good! I did make a few changes -- (okay I made a good number of changes) based on the "too dry" comments.... I only added 1/4 cup melted butter and to that I added 1 and 1/4 cup applesauce. If I would have thought ahead I would've used apple butter instead though. I upped the cinnamon to 1 full tsp. Then instead of the craisins (I didn't have any) I added 1 cup of raisins and one Granny Smith apple (peel off) and sliced very thinly - coarsely chopped - I actually heated the milk and poured it over the raisins and allowed it to sit for 15 minutes to plump them up a bit.... Oh and I halved the brown sugar also so I only added 1/2 cup and it was plenty sweet. I actually prepped everything the night before and poured it into ramekins so that in the morning we had individual portions of the special treat. Kids liked it and it was a healthy option for us as a family.

With all the reviews I was a little hesitant to make this recipe thinking it would be a big sticky mess... it was perfect the way it was written! I did spray the pan and also sprayed the back of a wooden spoon to help push it into the pan nicely. Then I put them in the fridge to chill them and THEY JUST DISAPPEARED! They were a sure fire hit with my kids! I think I might try to substitute the corn syrup with honey to at least TRY to make them a little healthier.

What a great base recipe - perfect for an Easter treat! I needed to double the recipe since i was making them for a crowd and made them in my food processor which was SO EASY! I used more icing sugar than was called for - possibly even double what it called for. I just added until I had a workable dough-like texture in a ball. Then after taking the dough out, I weighed it, divided it into 5 equal parts and mixed each part in the food processor in a snap. I did the colors in order so it wouldn't matter to the next color.... ie. yellow, green, blue, violet, and then pink. I experimented with rolling "snakes" and cutting them, but I had to shape them that way too.... in the end it worked well to roll out the dough and cut with a small circle cookie cutter. Mine were a little larger than a dime. I dusted them with powdered sugar and will let them sit out on drying racks for a few hours before refrigerating them.** I didn't have any peppermint oil so for a double batch I used 3 tsp of extract.** Just made these again for a kids cooking class and they were so much fun to make. Lots of great ways to use them too.... bridal or baby shower... teacher gifts... Easter... Christmas... fun & easy as long as you make sure that you KEEP ADDING POWDERED SUGAR UNTIL YOU GET A SMOOTH BALL.
