As Nedra confirms, putting a slice of bread in the cookie jar will keep the cookies moist.

You can also put a slice of bread in the canister with your brown sugar and it will soften. The moisture from the bread will make brick-hard brown sugar soft again.

I could not believe that the very day I planned to make this recipe. Tthere was a request for the very same!!

Thanks to Bob in Adelaide for confirming the Aussie hamburger fixings. We had tried these before your response and who knew? Burgers with pineapple and beets are terrific. We use both and it reminded me of the sweet-tangy mix you get when you add barbecue sauce to a burger. This “summer salute” to the burger has been a lot of fun. On to veggie burger stacks. LOL. Again thanks.

For Dorry wanting a hummus recipe (7/13, page 2), we just ran a hummus recipe in Fizzy Meals this week, part of a hummus club sandwich. I am picky about hummus, want it smooth “enough” and rich, but not oily. This version has become a refrigerator staple around here.

Quick Hummus
Makes 1-1/3 cups

1 (15 oz) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
3 Tbsp plain, fat-free yogurt
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (about ½ medium lemon)
1 Tbsp tahini (sesame paste) (See note.)
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp garlic, minced

Drain the chickpeas, reserving 2 Tbsp liquid. Combine the chickpeas, reserved liquid, and remaining ingredients in a food processor bowl. Process until smooth, just a little thinner than peanut butter. (Be careful not to liquefy.) Refrigerate.

Note: You can substitute 1 Tbsp sesame seeds and 1 tsp olive oil for the tahini. Pulse the seeds in the food processor first then add the oil and process before adding the other ingredients.

Per 1 Tbsp, approximately 23 calories; .7 g. fat; 3.2 g. carbohydrates; .5 g. sugars; 1.5 g. fiber; 136 mg. sodium; 2.1 g. protein

Help, please. I understand there is a way to cook pasta ahead of the time you want to use it, and then quickly re-heat it to serve later. Bet one or more of y'all will know how to do this, and about how long it takes. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone .. I need recipes for large families. I have been trying to adapt the great recipes on here. Besides my own 4 children, I have become the "proud parent" of 2 wonderful foster daughters. All the children are 12-17 ... SO .. you know what that means. You can't keep enough food in your house!! LOL Any large family friendly recipes will be greatly appreciated. I'm running out of ideas.

Many Thanks to Dawn in MN and to Lisa for the Oatmeal Creme Cookie recipe. We're in the middle of a three day stretch of wet weather and my four kids are stir crazy which in turn makes me crazy. So we made a double batch of the cookies yesterday afternoon. Spreading the cream on kept the kids busy a good long while. The results are delicious. A keeper recipe for rainy days!

Wondering if anyone has a copycat or clone recipe for the Power Bagels at Target? They are sooo good.
ENJOY this site!!!! Rosie in IA

Good morning to everyone in Nancyland..
I have 2 questions. First someone wrote in the best potato salad. Was it Sam's Club or Costco??
What are the uses for the micro fiber miracle cloth? Thank you, Candy

To Cindy,
You were looking for a bar cookie that had a cake mix crust with nuts on top. I got this one off a Pillsbury cake mix box about five years ago, and it is now one of my favorite treats. I hope this is the one you want. I know it calls for peanut butter chips, but I don't see why you can't substitute the butterscotch ones.

From Merry M in MN

Salted Peanut Chews
CRUST
1 (18.25 oz.) package Pillsbury Moist Supreme cake mix
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 egg
3 cups miniature marshmallows

TOPPING
2/3 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 (10 oz.) package peanut butter chips
2 cups crisp rice cereal
2 cups salted Virginia peanuts

Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, combine cake mix, 1/3 cup butter and egg. Beat at low speed until crumbly. Press mixture into bottom of an ungreased 9x13 baking pan.

Bake at 350°F for 12 to 18 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from oven and while still hot, sprinkle with marshmallows. Return to oven and bake an additional 1 or 2 minutes until the marshmallows just begin to puff. Remove from oven and cool.

Next, combine corn syrup, butter, vanilla, and peanut butter chips in a large saucepan. Heat just until the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in cereal and peanuts. Pour still warm topping over crust, and spread to cover. Refrigerate 1 hour.

Cut into bars. Store in covered containers.

Hi, Nancy and the furry crew. I haven't tried this recipe, but I recalled someone asking for something that sounded like this. I hope this is it. (I don't know where I found the recipe: I find recipes and articles after I've taken my sleep medication...and discover things the next morning and have no recollection where/how I found them!)

Crunchy Scotchie Fudge
6 ounces Nestle's butterscotch flavored morsels
1 pkg (6 ounces) semi-sweet real chocolate morsels
1/2 cup sifted confectioner's sugar
2 Tblsp. butter or margarine
1/2 cup peanut butter
4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 Tblsp. water

In large pan, melt butterscotch morsels and peanut butter over low heat; stir constantly till smooth. Press half the mixture into buttered 8x8x2" pan. Chill. Set remaining mixture aside. In double boiler, melt semi-sweet chocolate morsels, sugar, margarine, and water; stir constantly till smooth. Spread over chilled mixture. Spread remaining cereal mixture evenly over top. Press in gently. Chill till firm (about 1 hour). Makes 25 squares (about 1.5x1.5" square).
