The Easiest, Yummiest Sugar Cookies EVER!!!

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2004

_Good_ taste, texture, and easiness in this recipe. It'll have a permanent place in my freezer from now on. I'm wondering if the person that had trouble might possibly have not put the cookies 2" apart? or I suspect, could they have greased the pan? or melted their butter instead of using at room temperature? The only thing I did different was, I always cook with Smart Balance instead of butter for our health, and the cookies were easy to make into golf balls and even better after a night in the freezer. Recommend trying again as they're pretty good and inexpensive.

Grandma Minnie's Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies

Reviewed: Jan. 20, 2004

This cookie has every excellent quality the submitter said it does, and will have a place in my freezer constantly. So....I am wondering, um, since the only difference was that I always cook with Smart Balance instead of butter for our arteries...I have a hunch the one who had trouble may have not followed directions. I suspect they didn't put the cookies 2" apart? Or perhaps, melted the butter instead of room temperature and then greased the cookie sheet? I'd surely recommend giving it another try, as these are superb cookies, simple, and I bet I can add other good things to the recipe, as the submitter said, "This is the only cookie recipe you will ever need."

Easy Spiced Brown Rice With Corn

Reviewed: Oct. 29, 2003

Surprise: An instant favorite for my husband! I was doing it for a gathering and used one 2-Cup pkg brown rice, 1 teasp salt, 1 teasp fresh ground cumin. The can of Veg-All I had in the cupboard did not spoil the lovely flavors at all, but improved them. As Asians sometimes do, I made a garnish of egg strip. My speed method was to whip 3 eggs, add salt and pepper, microwave 2 minutes, lift to allow egg to nuke uniformly, cook 2 minutes more and slice in 1/4 inch slices. SO....this accidentally turned into an entree. We're filing in _favorites_. Thank you very, very much Laurie, for this rare swift and easy GOOD recipe!

Super Sloppy Joes

Reviewed: Aug. 27, 2003

1) World's best sloppies--that's the truth. And I didn't even have any celery! 2) Tidy Joes :) When this recipe is cold, serve it in thick sandwiches on whole wheat with mayo. Much, much better than meatloaf sandwiches, and would be a hit at picnics. 3) We prefer One Cup of filling per san, rather than 1/2 Cup and would double the recipe if we were serving 8.

Corny Ham and Potato Scallop

Reviewed: Aug. 15, 2003

We are NUTS about this dish!! We didn't even have any ham--just a $1 can of Treet from the Dollar Tree store--but it all cooked up great! And my husband, like I say, is nuts about it. So good for you too.
