I have tried this with peach pie filling, cherry pie filling and apple pie filling. I have to say my favorite is the cherry pie filling.

This was on my list of soups to learn to make!! Very pleased with it and the outcome. I used a can of chicken broth instead of the water and chicken bouillon. I seasoned it with salt, pepper and garlic salt. Prior to adding the milk and flour mixture I warmed it up in a seperate bowl, so I wouldn't be adding cold milk into a hot crock pot. This reduces the chances of curdling(?) with the milk. I serve with sour cream, shredded cheese and bacon crumbled on top. I also serve it in a sour dough bread bowl!!!

Best Bread Machine Bread

Reviewed: Aug. 23, 2008

I have owned my machine since 2003 and have used it alot. Never have I made such a wonderful light and fluffy bread. I love my machine but was tired of bread that wasn't soft like the store bought. So I tried this recipe and like many was a bit leary on the mixing yeast with the water. My machine says not too. But I listened to my trusty family on line here and WOW this was truly amazing. I follwed the suggestions of eveyone and added an extra 1/2 tsp salt. I used some Whole wheat flour as well. I set the machine and took off. When my family come home there was a beautiful loaf of perfect bread waiting for us to chow on. Only one problem.....we ate it all too fast and now it's gone...have to make more. I love that there are only 6 ingredients!!

Chewy Granola Bars

Reviewed: Mar. 18, 2008

These are FANTASTIC!! I have made these about 6 or 7 times now in the past 3 weeks. So easy and good. I make them because we try to cut back on buying snacks at the store due to costs. The changes I made to make them fit my household were these: instead of 1 cup of flour I used 1 cup of my house flour which is: 1/3C of wheat germ, 1/3C whole wheat flour and 1/3C of unbleached all purpose flour. Then I added dried bing cherries, some chocolate chips and pecans. The batch I am making now have craisins, chocolate chips and almonds. My children can't stop eating these and they are perfect for their lunch snacks and after school and sports snacks. Thank you!!!

Mexican Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas

Reviewed: Feb. 23, 2008

THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!! I have tried for 15 years to make tortillas. Each time I'd fail and throw the idea away. Then I decided to try it again with your recipe. I didn't use the wheat flour. I just made flour and I used my electric mixer. They were AWESOME!!!! I am so excited. I am hispanic, and although my grandmothers both made homemade tortillas I never got to learn prior to their passing. So Thank YOU again!!!!
