It is very good and so easy.:0: Between my husband and girls it does not last long. Let me know how you like it.

I will :) While I am here, does anyone have a recipe for a coating mix for chicken pieces? Something that you can shake the coating
mix in a cooking bag with the chicken and then bake in the oven. When I used to go down to the U.S. I use to get this terrific
mix by McCormick's but it isn't sold here (of course). I love American grocery stores and double coupon days too :smile:

No better food smell (Ithink) in the Fall than cinnamon on an apple crisp. Anne gave me a recipe for apple/pear crisp which I was turning
up my nose at until she made it. Very good! Want the recipe Neesy?
Hi Alexandra - is it very unusual? I normally just make a very basic version
apples, oatmeal, brown sugar, butter etc. plus cinnamon

I'm just getting ready to make chocolate chip squares - sort of like a chocolate chip cookie but in a glass baking pan instead of individual cookies;

The recipe didn't call for it, but I put chopped up white chocolate in there as well. A friend of mine likes white chocolate and I had some I needed to use up (Best before October 31, 2016) - well, that was only 10 days ago, right?
::P

I have a microwave recipe for chocolate chip squares. I sometimes use white, and raisins go good too.

FYI: A best before date is not an expired date. Date Labelling on Pre-packaged Foods - Food - Canadian Food Inspection Agency

I found this recipe on Facebook. Delicious.

Cranberry Christmas Cake | 01Recipes

I made this again yesterday. The recipe asks for fresh cranberries. I decided to use frozen ones. I think it really needs fresh.

You mix the eggs and sugar until double in size. This is what makes it light and fluffy. Throwing in frozen cranberries made it shrivel and harden. Then, it didn't really raise properly in the oven.

Try googling "homemade Shake and Bake". I found a bunch of recipes when I did.

I don't do the shake thing. I just roll the pieces in flour, then dip them in a milk and egg mixture, then roll them in bread crumbs. I season the chicken to taste before hand. Good luck!

Hi Neesy:)
No, it isn't unusual, I pretty well stick to the classic recipes. Never did venture into the unusual. Anne will try any
recipe, but, I am not that daring. I do cook a lot of different Chinese dishes come to think of it, but don't
consider it daring as its so easy. Will post it later today.

I like to use Italian bread crumbs in a large ziplock that I season with a little bit of spices ( garlic powder, cayenne, etc..basically whatever you like) and then oven fry them with a little oil in the bottom of 13x9 pan.

Perhaps thawing them out first might have worked - with baking it's sort of like chemistry at times - sorry to hear that it did not work out - it's so disappointing to put in all that effort and use up your ingredients only to have it turn out different than expected.

I had a bit of a problem with a recipe using peanut butter and icing sugar - put too much icing sugar and it turned out crumbly when you try to cut the squares.

I did consider thawing, but they would have been more liquid that way, and I knew that would mess up the recipe. And there is no liquid in the recipe, so I couldn't just replace it. Also figured they might mix in too much.

It just means I can only make this when I find fresh cranberries.

And, even though it didn't work properly....they ate it all, so it wasn't actually awful.

Thinking about making my first Frito pie soon. Never did one. Googled various recipes. The Frito/Lay people seem to want you to make it with canned chili filler, no doubt greasing the palms of fellow food corporations. Nerts to that noise, Jack--I'll use my own.

Anybody have a unique recipe for Frito pie? (And GNTL: none of your foolishness, mind.)

It has Frito's.

Seems to me you would have to put in in the oven for a bit after the cheese. Perhaps they forgot that part in the recipe?
