I made this with my son today. I must say, these were so tasty. I used 1 whole cup of unsalted butter instead of the flavored shortening. The only other minor changes we did was add chocolate chips instead of raisins, and substituted 1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water (in lieu of one egg). The cookies came out great and smelled wonderful. These were HIS cookies. My toddler loved them too. Now let's see if dad will try them (he's not a fan of oatmeal, but loves choc chips!). Great recipe try it!

Made this for dinner last night. Used up all the potatoes I had before they went bad. I also cut up a celery stalk, in addition to the onion. I used the lower sodium cream of mushroom soup. I followed other reviewers advice and used milk instead of water. Didn't have only cheddar on hand, used cheddar and Colby mix. And used 2 cups of leftover frozen Christmas ham. Yum! I felt Luke adding some frozen corn as it smelled so good. Vi cooked the corn separately, but added it in when I served it. My toddler inhaled it. I couldn't shovel it to him fast enough. My 7 yr old is going through the "everything tastes gross" phase, so it was a battle to get him to eat it. I'll only make this if I have the ingredients on hand. Thanks for the comfort recipe.

Made these for thanksgiving. This recipe made a ton of both regular size cupcakes (approx 16) and mini cupcakes (approx 24). The frosting was awesome as well, especially with the orange zest. I used pure pumpkin puree instead of canned stuff. You just have to watch the time for baking the mini ones, they cook a lot faster than the regular sized ones. So delicious! This is definitely a keeper!
