Wanted....Again

Sorry to be such a nag...

Does anyone have a good play-dough recipe? There are approximately 7 million recipes online, and very few "reviews."

Anybody? Anybody?

P.S. Thanks for the gluten-free comments. I'm going to make that mexican lasagna...for US! It looks so great--and I'd seen it on an episode of "Everyday Food," so now I know it has good reviews!

White Chicken Chili--Review

The White Chicken Chili recipe posted by "JackJen" is so delicious. And totally easy. I used the pre-cooked chicken breast strips by Kirkland Signature (Costco refrig. section) instead of cooking up the chicken myself. So much of the recipe is open up a can and dump it in. For next time, I would maybe not add the cayenne or as much as the chilies. It wasn't too hot for me (and I am a total wuss), but my two year old thought it was a little spicy.
And the best part of any recipe--there are leftovers and I thought the chili was better a few days later. Oh, and I dumped in some leftover corn after the first night--still delish!
Yummy! Thanks for sharing.

Great ideas

Reporting back what we all had for dinner was such a fun idea. I hadn't thought about Hawaiian Haystacks for years and there they were just waiting to be made. So good. Thanks for sharing everybody. (I put cauliflower puree in the cream of chicken sauce)

Deceptively Delicious

Tori asked about this cookbook so here is my opinion. I really, really (see how much) like this cookbook. It has some great recipes in here, plus it made me get into the habit of throwing in some vegi purees into whatever I am making, whether I am using their recipes or my own. And if the idea of steaming, then blending/pureeing your own vegetables is holding you back––buy some baby food and you can throw that in instead. The steaming/blending thing is time consuming but really easy. I get a whole bunch of vegis to do at once and get the job done once my kiddo is sleeping. I have a tupperware container for them to store in my freezer and when I need one for a recipe I usually just throw it in a bag of warm water to defrost on the spot.
Here are some recipe titles (sorry, no time to type them all right now) we have tried and liked, just to give you an idea of what here; there have been none we have not liked.
*French Toast (w/ banana or pineapple or SWEET POTATO or PUMPKIN or carrot or butternut squash puree) plus flax seed
*Scrambled Eggs (w/ cauliflower puree)
*Pancakes (w/ sweet potato puree)
*Blueberry Lemon Muffins (w/ yellow squash)
*Chicken Nuggets (w/ BROCCOLI or spinach or sweet potato or beet puree)
*Mashed Potatoes (w/ cauliflower puree)
*Turkey Burgers (w/ CARROT or cauliflower puree)
*Quesadillas (w/ butternut squash puree)
*Grilled Cheese Sandwiches (w/ SWEET POTATO or BUTTERNUT SQUASH puree)
*Tacos (w/ sweet potato or CARROT or butternut squash puree)
*Chocolate Pudding (w/ avocado) ––let this one cool or else it does like avocado and not choc.
*Frozen Yogurt Pops (w/ berries)
*Chocolate Chip Cookies (w/ chickpeas) ––this has been posted previously

I think the book is totally worth it. Check it out.

Review: And it STILL turned out great!

I have been wanting to make Lisa's Spinich Calzones since she won the bloscar. And I agree--they really are that good. Unfortunately I left out the Italian seasoning it called for, and didn't realize this until they were all wrapped up and ready to pop in the oven. So I sprinkled the seasoning over the buttered tops, and then topped that with fresh parmasean. They were so good! They look fancy, too.

Scott insisted that these are a breakfast food. (He got hung up on the egg in them, I think.) Breakfast food or not, we really like them. Thanks, Lisa!

O'Boy question...

So I'm looking at the recipe for O'Boy Oatmeal Cake... and pardon my ignorance, but what is a nutmeat???

Chris is allergic to many nuts (if that has anything to do with this). Would pecans work as a substitute?

lasagna review

We had the lasagna that Melissa posted. It was awesome. I highly recommend meat mixing. It was way better than my mom's lasagna.

Utah is beating Louisville with 6 minutes to go in the 3rd Quarter. GO UTES!!!
