I live in So Calif and was watching the morning show Good Day Live Fri 9/10/04 while I worked. I caught parts of a cooking segment. I went to their website looking for the recipes featured on the show and was directed to the Sandra Lee, Semi-Homemade website. However, I don't find the recipes I think I'm looking for. One added a can of tomato soup to a cake mix. The other was a cobbler using canned cherries & apples with sugar cookie dough.

Did anyone else see the show or has anyone heard of recipes using those ingredients? Any help or hints will be appreciated.

There are several recipes out there for Tomato Soup Spice Cake, some using cake mix, others making the cake by scratch, but all of them use a can of condensed tomato soup.

Wow...never heard of Tomato Soup in a cake. I'm gonna have to try it just because if you'll promise me it's good. Of course I'll have to hide the can of soup as my family will think I'm nuts and refuse to even try it.

I have another mystery...When I was a teen I would always make "Crisp Cocoa Cookies" at my dad's house. I could have sworn the recipe was from "Betty Crocker's Cooky Book," but when I went to my dad's to look it up, I couldn't find it in that book or any other book at the house! Does anyone have this recipe at home?

It's a light white cookie with cocoa krispies mixed into the batter. I practically had the ingredients memorized back then (almost every ingredient was 1 cup or 1 teaspoon), but I need help! I thought it would be an easy recipe to do with my toddler.

I looked up "Crisp Cocoa cookies" and cookies/ "cocoa krispies" on the web, with no luck. Not expecting anything, but if anyone knows the recipe and has it handy, any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

These sound good-- I don't think they are the same, but I will try them! The first one sounds closer than the second one, though. Thanks, Rslover!

Rslover, thinking more, the 1st one does sound really close-- What cookbook did it come from? Thanks again. :-)

I found it on line. It's the last recipe in the bunch. Try it. How bad could they turn out? Were there any other ingredients that you recall?

Thanks, Rslover...I'm definitely going to try it-- It seems like it has all the same ingredients as what I remember, just in different quantities.

Kimmo,
I just noticed the butter is missing! I found it on another site too and it is 1/2 cup butter.

Rslover, I finally tried the recipe! But I forgot and only put in 1/4 cup butter. It was almost the same as what I remembered, but it definitely needed more butter or less flour. I'm going to try it again soon. Thanks again! :-)

Kimmo,
Glad to help. I'm sure the right amount of butter will make a big difference. Check out the cookie thread. I posted a winning recipe and was hoping someone would make them. I am trying to be good.
