One More Thing…

Hi all,

 

Had a couple thoughts on two of my previous posts, thought I’d share.

I mentioned that I used 1/2 cup more oats in the Oat-rageous cookies.  Well, as my husband likes oats, I tried putting in 2 cups total of the oats and they came out heartier, but still yummy! I would not go any further as it would probably dry out the dough, but you can experiment. I also use mini chips, they seem to distribute better through the dough.

As far as the cheese cutter, I found it works really well on canned jellied cranberry sauce.  Changing the angle also varies the slice thickness to your taste.

 

Have fun and enjoy!

A Cut Above

Hi all,

 

Have you ever tried to cut SPAM into mostly even slices?  Well, I found that my cheese slicer ( similar to pictures below) does a pretty good job of doing that task. II f you hold the handle straight up toward ceiling and rest the roller on the loaf you can get about 1/4 inch slices.  The slicer is still good for cheese! 

 

                     

 

Have a great day!

 

Enjoy!   

Twist on Chocolate Chip

 

Hi all,

Found this recipe in my Taste of Home newsletter.  Was a hit with my husband, although I did add 1/2 cup more oats to recipe. Thanks to Jaymie from Michigan for the yummy snack!
