  1. EASY CHEESY!!!:-)
     
  2. I needed to make a smaller quantity of this, so I used just 2 cups flour, 2 tbsps. oil, 1/4 cup salt, 4 tbsps. water and green food colour. When I was almost done with making this, I realised I could add some cocoa powder to this, to give it a dual colour effect. So, I added 1 tbsp. cocoa powder and continued to knead until I had a green-brown ball in my palm. Looked a little funny, but I still like the idea of using up my cocoa powder that is way past its expiry date in this way instead of feeding it to the bin. I think one could make this using different colour combinations like red and yellow, green and yellow, blue and yellow, etc. for some added colour. Also, as a suggestion, one could use Kool-aid instead of cocoa powder for yet another dual colour effect.
     
  3. This isn't clay, this is dough...really salty dough. Too salty to even make Matzo balls.
     
  4. I do not know what I am doing wrong with this recipe. I tried to make it twice and both times the dough was way too crumbly when made as directed. After I added quite a bit more oil and water, it was a pliable consistency and it did work out... I may try it one more time. Maybe third time's a charm?!
     
  5. anything that outlasts my son gets my vote. Thanks!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes: ? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again. ? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time. ? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK ? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all ? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
