I looked everywhere for the recipe thread we used to have and couldn't find it so I thought I'd start another one. Peach Cobbler 1 Cup self rising flour 1 Cup sugar 3/4 Cup milk 1 stick butter In a large pyrex bowl melt 1 stick of butter. In another bowl mix together flour, sugar, and milk. Pour over melted butter. Gently drop in 1 large or 2 small cans of FREESTONE peaches. Not cling peaches. Include juice. Bake in 375 oven for 1 hour or until top crust is dark golden.

Oh! Thanks for sharing that, Twinkie. I am not much of a cook - and I certainly can't bake - but that looks easy enough!

Twinkie, I was just thinking about starting a recipe thread yesterday so I'm so glad you did! I am going to bake these cookies that have a miniature Reese's Cup stuck in them... You just take some peanut butter cookie dough, shape into balls and place in a miniature muffin pan. Then, bake for 8 minutes. After they come out of the oven, press a miniature Reese's Cup into each cookie, cool, remove from pan, grab your milk or coffee & ENJOY. Not much of a "homemade" recipe, I suppose, but sounds yummy. Anyone else have any easy cookie or other kind of recipe?

The recipe site I use most often is http://www.allrecipes.com. It's great. You can look up recipes and rate them after you've tried them! The ratings are from 1 to 5 stars, and you can read comments from other raters before you try the recipe. Good stuff.

Twinkie, I made the cobbler. "Just like Mom used to make." It was a hit! Extremely easy. Thanks for the links everybody.

Anyone know a light, easy recipe for a lunch? Maybe a pizza, casserole or unusual sandwhich? Thanks!

I make a summer pasta salad, Julie. Get a bag of 3-color pasta spirals (are those called rotini?) Cook them al dente, then throw in a large bowl in the refrigerator. Once chilled, mix in one can of sweet peas (drained), chopped red onion, two small cans of tuna (drained) and miracle whip to taste. Chill again 'til you're ready to eat. It's light and filling at the same time.

Twinkie, why Firestone Peaches and not Cling, with heavy syrup? And what if you wanted a crumbly-like topping?

Well, everyone has his or her own idea of pasta salad. That's what makes it so great! Here's my version: A bag of tri-color rotini Pepperoni (preferably fresh stick pepperoni, sliced thin), OR hard salami Mozzarella cheese (cut into bite-size cubes) A little red bell pepper Grape Tomatoes Black olives, whole or sliced, whichever you prefer Combine it all together and toss with your favorite bottled Italian dressing.

Oh, while we're at it, I need a good recipe for an appetizer to take to a barbecue on Monday. I'm tired of taking the same old stuff and would like to get input from you all. Any ideas? Or, better put, what's your favorite thing to munch on at a gathering?

I don't know the recipe, but I really like the appetizer that is a "pizza" made from refrigerated rolls (cresecent?) and creamcheese (with maybe sour cream) and then topped with either itty bitty veggies or fruit. Anyone know that one? Oh, thanks for the pasta salad ideas everyone!!!

For a BBQ or any gathering, I have my favorite appetizer.... large package cocktail weinies package of brown sugar package of uncooked bacon Cut bacon into small chunks that will wrap around the cocktail weinies once. Line a large pyrex dish with the bacon wrapped weinies.. Cover the entire dish HEAVILY with brown sugar - use the package. - I've doubled layered them before, you just have to have a deep pyrex dish and make sure that the sugar gets to the bottom weinies to carmelized them. Cook at 350 until the brown sugar melts (careful not to make a mess with the melted sugar). Put all the weinies into a crock pot to keep warm. These things are soooooooooooooo good and will go fast once people start trying them. I've made double and triple batches before and not taken a single weinie home. You will end up with tons of sugar, though.

Julie, don't know about pizza with the refrigerated bisquits, but I've been thinking about it. We do mini tacos using the bisquits. Brown your meat, season it like you would for tacos. Roll out the bisquits (i cut them in half to make smaller ones,) then put in your taco stuff. We usually do the meat, refriend beans, salsa and cheese. Fold them up like a turnover and then cook however the can of bisquits tells you to. They're fairly easy to make and everytime I do them for a party people love them. I've been debating changing the ingredients to ground sausage, pizza sauce and cheese, and trying pizza rolls. I have another easy one (yep, I hate cooking ) with cocktail weinies. Large package of weinies, bottle of bbq sauce, and stick them in a crockpot for a couple hours. That's my favorite one for a party or bbq because thats all there is to it, lol.

And for my last contribution to the recipe thread since I only have three, lol. Enchillada Pie ground beef packet of enchillada seasoning can of enchillada sauce tortillas cheese brown ground beef and drain it. Add the packet of enchillada seasoning, following the directions on the packet. Greese a baking dish/pan. Mix the can of enchillada sauce with a cup of water and stir. Pour enough to cover the bottom of the pan, then start layering. Tortillas, meat, sauce, cheese...last layer being tortillas, sauce and cheese. Then cover with foil and bake on 350 for about half an hour or until the cheese is all melted. The friend I got this from mixes a can of corn and a can of mushrooms (drained) with the meat, but Darren doesn't like either, so I leave them out. The nice thing is we can use it as an appetizer (with doritos on the side) or as a meal. Ok, that's all I have to offer to the recipe thread, LOL.

Yummm...food! There used to be a "Recipe Book" thread in The Library section. Julie, an easy lunch recipe is: Waldorf Salad 1/2 c mayo 1 T sugar 1 T lemon juice 1/8 t salt 3 apples, cored and diced 1 c chopped celery 1/4 c raisins (optional) 1/2 c walnuts (optional) In medium bowl, blend mayo, sugar, lemon juice and salt. Stir in apples, celery and raisins. Cover and chill to blend flavours. Just before serving, sprinkle with walnuts. Can be served on a bed of lettuce, or try it in a pita pocket.

Spygirl, your cocktail weinie recipe sounds yummy!! I will DEFINITELY do that sometime -- not this time, because there will be hot dogs being grilled at the picnic. I've decided to keep it simple and take deviled eggs & spinach dip. I just use the spinach dip recipe off the Knorr box. :-)

ACK!!!!!! ALERT, ALERT!!!!! I hope nobody has made the peach cobbler recipe yet!!! It should be 1 large can or 2 small cans of Freestone peaches!!!! I made the mistake because i was doubling the recipe to make for company!!! Freestone peaches are much closer to fresh peaches than cling peaches. And the recipe makes its own crunchy topping. Mods, could you please, please fix that for me??? <Corrected (22)>

Easy appetizers: Cheese ball: Soften a package of cream cheese to room temp. Cut into small pieces a package of dried chipped beef. Slice into small pieces green onion tips. Combine all and roll into a ball and refrigerate. Serve with crackers of choice Spicy meatballs: Roll hamburger into small balls. Cook by either frying or baking. In a crockpot combine 1 jar of chili sauce and 1 jar of grape jelly until hot. Add cooked meatballs and lower heat to just keep warm. Sounds gross but really delicious and easy.

Twinkie, I LOVE those meatballs. I've made them several times. The only thing I do differently is use frozen meatballs (they're just as good, if not better, than homemade), combine it all in a slow cooker, and add some brown sugar to taste to the mixture (this might be too sweet for some people, but I love it). Yum. Yum. Yum.
