Black Halloween Punch

Reviewed: Oct. 30, 2008
I've found a great way to keep it cold, therefore keeping the hand(s) from melting so fast. First off, I made this for my son's 4th grade class of 36 students today so I tripled the recipe (thus having 9 quarts of Kool-Aid). There are 4 quarts in a gallon, so I put the Kool-Aid mixture into two,cleaned gallon milk containers. This was made the day before, so I kept the containers in the fridge. That left 1 quart left over, which I put in a ziplock and froze overnight. The ginger ale was kept in the fridge in their unopened containers. The next day, I took it all to school and combined everything in the classroom into one of those big, plastic tubs (like the kind you bob for apples in). The quart of punch that was frozen helped keep it all cool, without diluting the flavor. Due to my punch being cold and refreshing, my "hands" did not melt until much later. The kids were afraid to try it at first until their teacher tried it (loved it!) and described it as a "melted otter pop." Only one child disliked it after that.

Three Cheese Manicotti

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2008
I took a lot of others advice and "spiced" up my cheese filling. I added 1/2 tsp garlic salt, 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning, 3 cloves of grated garlic, and some garlic powder. I then took some basil from my garden and tore it into pieces and added that as well. I could have probably added higher amounts, but without would've been bland. Cooking the shells 4 minutes was perfect, anything longer would be to difficult to fill. Putting the filling in a quart sized ziploc bag and then cutting the end is probably the best way to fill the shells (like a pastry bag). As for the sauce, well everyone seems to have a personal preferance, but please don't do this recipe injustice by just opening a can and pouring it on top!

Sunshine Toast

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2008
I have been making this for my son for a few years now. I've found it tastes better when I use Texas Toast (sold in my grocery store bread aisle). My sister in NC can't get Texas Toast at all, so it depends where you live. When we have "Breakfast for Dinner" night, this is what my son always wants!

Grilled Corn on the Cob

Reviewed: Jul. 14, 2008
My family has been cooking corn on the cob this way for years. The only variation, is that we soak our corn (husks on) in water for a few hours first. Then wrap them in foil and grill. Perfect every time!
