Sunshine Toast in the Oven

Handle

Select One

20 Reviews | By winkki

Select One

From a kids' cookbook and the house specialty of our 9 yr old daughter, this is an oven-baked variation on eggs cooked in the middle of toast. We like it because it's easy enough that the girls can do it on their own (no spattering grease in a frying pan) and because we can do up to a dozen at a time for sleep-overs and such (6 slices fit on an average cookie sheet). The girls have fun picking out which cookie cutters to use for their toast, especially when they can match them to a holiday/season (trees, stars, & angels in the winter, bunnies and flowers in the spring, etc). Bake the cutouts alongside for fun little munchie toast shapes. Don't use very large eggs, though, or they will overrun the toast!

Blackberry Pie Served in Tea Cups

Handle

Be the first to review! | By winkki

Select One

An adopted recipe; I am unsure of the original poster. The intro read: "This Blackberry pie is SO dramatic when served in a teacup! How unique is that? This recipe is for 2 people. Or shall I say for 2 Very Romantic people? Perfect for that ultra, ultra special occasion! For a unique presentation add a melon ball size ice cream garnish. Cooks Note: You could make the crust into a heart shape for Valentine's Day or use your imagination to make different shapes. This is an easy dessert and everything can be made ahead of time.

An adopted recipe. I do not know who originally posted this, but they wrote: "Almost any type of flat bread will work for this great easy appetizer. Think Lavash or any large, crisp cracker. Avoid highly seasoned ones like onion and garlic."

Crystal Ornaments (Borax)

Handle

Select One

9 Reviews | By winkki

Select One

My daughters and I make these every year. You can change the look of the crystals by using different color and textures of pipe cleaners (chenille stems). Just choose your color and choose your shape: stars, snowflakes, trees, gingerbread men. The girls especially love using glittery white and silver ones to make 'snowflakes'. We don't just do these at Christmas, either We've used them on our Christmas tree, to hang in our windows, to decorate packages and gift baskets, for grandparents, initials (fun to spell out the kids' names), mobiles, etc. One year we found red and white striped pipe cleaners and made really cute hearts for Valentine's Day to take with a plate of cookies to some shut-in's. They make darling flowers, too. The only limit is your imagination. :o) They are fairly sturdy but the crystals can be knocked off if hit too hard so we spray ours with clear acrylic spray paint/shellac when they're dry (especially the ornaments that we want to use year after year). We haven't tried adding food color to the water yet, but that's on our list of possible variations to see if it works the same. We have also tried reheating and reusing the solution, but with mixed results and you would need to dissolve more Borax in if you do that.

Peach Surprise

Handle

Select One

16 Reviews | By winkki

Select One

Peaches and yogurt that look like eggs sunny-side up! My 10 yr old saw this idea on a children's TV show and used to surprise her younger sisters; it was a big hit. It would be a great afterschool snack or quick breakfast for slumber parties.

Apple Cornbread

Handle

Select One

11 Reviews | By winkki

Select One

A different twist on corn bread, this is sweet and very moist. It's been a favorite with hubby and the kids around here for years. If you dice the apples very finely, they almost disappear into the batter; leave them larger for chunks of fruity flavor. This is also good with cinnamon mixed into the batter (I usually do that more for a breakfast/brunch than dinner). Originally submitted by Nancy Kirkland in a church cookbook from Maryland.

Easy Basic Meatballs

Handle

Select One

23 Reviews | By winkki

Select One

This is originally from the Betty Crocker cookbook. My 3rd and 4th grade daughters are learning to cook and this is simple enough for them, but turns out well enough to serve to guests. (When they use this recipe, they usually sub 1/4-1/2 tsp onion powder for the chopped onion.) It's also a very versatile recipe: sometimes we also add other spices -- oregano, basil, thyme for Italian food or cinnamon and mint for Greek food.) We always oven-bake these, though there are also pan-fry and microwave options in the cookbook that we've not tried. Also good to cook ahead and freeze for later use.

Blackened Chicken Quesadillas & Cranberry Mango Salsa

Handle

Select One

4 Reviews | By winkki

Select One

Not just a 'summer' dish, the oranges, reds, and greens in this make for a gorgeous harvest feast as well. The salsa is a wonderful blend of tart, sweet, and spicy and goes well against the cool flavor of the cheese (I often omit the chicken and make vegetarian quesadillas). Despite the long list of directions, this is not overly complex to make...but tastes like it should be. Originally posted by Mean Chef.

Mini Phyllo Cranberry Shells

Handle

Select One

1 Reviews | By winkki

Select One

A great way to use up those holiday leftovers for a colorful hors'douvre or bite size snack that can be warmed in the oven if you wish. The mini phyllo shells can usually be found in the frozen section near the pies and such. Use the suggestions here or be creative and sub the filling with what you have on hand (spinach & Greek cheeses or artichoke dip or chicken salad...mmm!). :o) Suggestion found online.

Chocolate Peppermint Bars

Handle

Select One

1 Reviews | By winkki

Select One

Chocolate and peppermint -- a classic combination! The smooth chocolate top layer hides two more yummy layers underneath: a chocolate crust and creamy peppermint filling. You can also tint the mint layer green (or red, I suppose, for Christmas, though I think green is prettier and 'mintier.' Originally from the Colorado Cache cookbook, these bars are great for the holidays or anytime. Prep time does not include assorted chilling periods.

Bookbinding and Leather Glue

Handle

Select One

Posted by request; this is from an old arts and crafts recipe book. I've used it for making cardboard and cloth/paper book projects with the kids, though I haven't tried to repair actual books with it so can't vouch for that. According to the recipe, it is excellent for binding leather to leather and is a flexible glue for paper or gluing cloth to cardboard, etc. This makes about 1/3 cup; you can double it for larger projects.

Sicilian Spinach Sauce

Handle

Select One

1 Reviews | By winkki

Select One

One of our favorite vegan pasta sauces (also good over baked potatoes, leftover lentils, cooked grains, etc); from the Lean, Lucious, and Meatless cookbook. I usually add flax (sometimes ground, sometimes whole) for extra nutrition that goes unseen. Especially good when fresh herbs and spinach are available in season (remember to increase amt of herbs if using fresh).

Chocolate Pudding Pops (w/ Rocky Road Option)

Be the first to review! | By winkki

Super-easy and popular with the kids -- what could be better?! To make Rocky Road Pudding Pops add 1/4 cup each semi-sweet chocolate chunks, miniature marshmallows, and chopped peanuts with the whipped topping. Chocolate is, of course, the best ;o), but you can use your favorite flavor of pudding in place of the chocolate if you prefer. :o) Cook time is freeze time.
