I love to make cakes decorated with fondant but the store-bought kind doesn't taste too good and the consistency is kind of sticky. I know some people make their own and would love to know how to make a good fondant that tastes good and works well - shiny would be great! Anyone know? Thanks

Just remember: Nothing tastes as good as
and you should be ok.
You can also get fondant from....sm
An AC Moore or Michael's (not sure if those are everywhere). It comes in different colors on the cake decorating aisle and it is like edible Play Dough basically. You can roll it out and cut it or shape it into anything you want. Very easy to work with!
good recipe
This is exactly how I make it except I cut up some celery to put in also. .
Another good corn recipe
1 15-16 can Mexicorn
1 small package yellow rice
6-8 oz cheddar cheese
1 can cream of chicken soup
Cook rice according to package directions. Mix with all other ingredients. Pour into small casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.
very, very tasty
Does anyone have a good turkey recipe?? SM
Due to last week's turn of events I'm having turkey day at my house with my husband and kids. I've never cooked a turkey before. I have a very large slow cooker/roaster I've never used before and would like to cook it in there. What kid of spices do you put on it. I've got the stuffing taken care of, but am not sure what to do with the outside of the turkey. I'd like it to have some special flavoring if possible.
TIA for the ideas.
That sounds so good. Thanks for the recipe. NM
Here I've lived in Texas most of my life and never made homemade chili pie. This sounds delicious, and I will definitely write down that recipe! Thanks again for sharing!
I have had this and it is very good! Another toffee recipe...
1 pound of butter, one pound of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of vanilla and 1 bag of chocolate chips. (nuts if you want).
If you want some sort of nuts, place in bottom of cookie sheet with raised sides before starting.
Heat butter until melted and add brown sugar and vanilla. Heat on stove to hard crack stage--if you do not have a candy thermometer (like me) put cold water in a cup and drip a little in to check and see if it is ready. When it is crunchy, it is done. Pour into cookie sheet and scatter chocolate chips over the top. They will melt and you can spread them like in the recipe above.
have a really good cake recipe
My mom got it when she did weight watchers, but my whole family absolutely loves it, very easy to make
Angel food cake mix, mandarin oranges
bake, let cool
icing is cool whip, 1/2 cup milk & pkg of banana cream instant pudding (or whatever kind you would like, some of my crew likes the white chocolate pudding in the icing).. if you want the exact recipe let me know.. I could sit & eat the whole thing myself.. lol
allrecipes.com is a good recipe site sm
We make roast beef in the crock pot a lot - just cut up whatever veggies you like, put them on the bottom, add the roast beef on top, then you can either put 1 cup of beef bouillon or you can use Lipton's onion soup according to the directions. Or substitute burgundy or another red wine for half the liquid. Yummy!
Would have a really good recipe for pumpkin spice latte?

I'd love to see the recipe! Choc, PB - got protein and good carbs! Plus antioxidants! nm

Anyone with a good rum balls or bourbon balls recipe? Thinking ahead to Christmas

Love Tom's too! Tastes so much better...
than that sugary regular toothpaste! I use the Tom's sensitve and it works well for me.
Anything YOU don't have to cook always tastes

Mine tastes weak
We have also bought Folgers for years, and for the past few months I've had to brew it on strong to avoid the sensation I'm drinking dishwater.
A close family friend works at Starbuck's and periodically gifts us with bags of whole beans. Transitioning back to Folgers from Starbuck's lately feels like weaning off a drug.
I don't think I'm imagining that something about the quality of the product has changed!
Quick and easy...tastes delicious, but
Start by boiling one box of Santa Maria pasta--or any kind that looks like a large piece of rice. Drain. Put in a large bowl and add one to two large cans of chicken. Drain some of the juice off of the chicken, but leave some also for the chiken salad. I usually drain the chicken and then use a fork to cut up the pieces in the can and that usually produces more juice and than I add it to the pasta. Next add one jar of Marzetti slaw dressing and 1/2 cup of Mayo. Mix well. This mixutre will look like a giant bowl of soup at this point. Cover and put in the frige over night, or if making in the morning put in frige for entire day until dinnertime. Take out of the frige and mix well. It will now be thick like chicken salad is supposed to be! At this point I usually add some almond slivers and serve on croissants or other yummy breads. I know this sounds really wierd, but it tastes wonderful and is so easy to make.
I beg to differ - chocolate tastes better than "skinny." LOL. NM
.
It was a little strong & overpriced for my tastes. (SeeMsg)
But, that was back when I could taste! I lost my sense of taste and smell a few years ago, so no sense throwing away good money on the expensive brand of anything! Now everything I buy is generic and cheap. (It all tastes the same to me!) HaHaHaHa!!!!!!!!!!
Citrucel (not sugar free) tastes like Tang - really!
It might be the easiest thing to make into a habit because it tastes so good.
I love grits with sugar, tastes kind of like cream of

I think it tastes burnt. But I do like their iced coffee drinks, full of milk and sugar, LOL. nm

Recipe
I love this and you can use a variety of types of yogurts/berries.
Frozen Yogurt
An 8-ounce container of yogurt (I uses Dannon Light)
An 8-ounce container of cool whip (Lite or Low-Fat)
A package of berries (no sugar added).
Mix all together and freeze in a pie plate or cake pan. I mostly use strawberries and strawberry yogurt, and now they even have strawberry cool whip, but not lite or fat-free.
For other company, I sometimes add in some Splenda to sweeten the berries, or put in a graham cracker crust.
You could also make sugar free chocolate pudding, and mix in cool whip. Stir together and put in parfait cups with a shot of Reddi Whip on top. This is always a fun treat.
Sorry it is late in coming but, hopefully, you can use in the future as well.
SIL's recipe....
It sounds like your SIL is just the ticket!!!!
I've seen other recipes that are quite similar, and people have raved no end. But, in these recipes the meat cooks for a much, much, much shorter length of time.
I'm sure they're just as wonderful as the cooks and their dinner guests swear, but I've been rather stuck and quite stubborn on "my" recipe.
So, tell your SIL: Help!...Dinner is this weekend and my co-host and I were hoping to go shopping today, tomorrow at the verylatest.
Why I'm stuck on this one, I don't know, but Lord how I remember that taste, that smell!
Thanks so much!
need a recipe!
Does anyone have an easy recipe for a yummy, ooey, gooey cream cheese pastry that they'd like to share? Thanks!! 
no recipe but
Try going to allrecipes.com and see if you can find one there for that! Do you want hamburger beef or real like beefsteak? Just buy some refried beans in a can, some tortillas, fry up some burger and add some burrito seasoning or salsa and wrap them up! Add a bit of sour cream and black olives, the works on top..oh I'm getting hungry now!
Bonappetite!
recipe help
Anyone have a good easy recipe for cornbread dressing? My mom has always made it, but I 'm making everything this year and want to use something other than hers to surprise her!
My BBQ recipe...sm
I brown 1 lb hamburger with a couple of tablespoons of green pepper and onion. Then add 3/4 cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon mustard, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons vinegar, and 3 drops of liquid smoke. Simmer covered for about 20 minutes on low. You can add a little water if it gets too thick. If you don't like it to be sweet, cut down on the brown sugar. Sometimes I use left over roast instead of the hamburger.
Another recipe
I use 1 small can of tomatoes, whole or chopped but without seasoning, 1/2 green bell pepper, 1/4 onion, 2 cloves of garlic (or powder in a pinch), 1 packet of salsa seasoning mix from the grocery store (I haven't found one that I don't like), and if I have it I add a little lime juice (about 1 tablespoon of juice) and a tablespoon of dried cilantro. Add hot sauce or jalepenos if you like. You can chop it as chunky or smooth as you like using food processor or blender. We like it fairly smooth.
I keep the chopped onions and bell peppers in the freezer so I always have them and the seasoning mixes go on sale a couple times a year at the grocery store (3/$1) and I stock up on those. This is always what I am asked to bring to parties and gatherings. For some reason even kids who don't like salsa like it - haven't found a kid yet who doesn't like it. It's great because I can keep everything on hand and it takes about 5 minutes to make.
There is a recipe
on the side of the Hershey's Cocoa container. It is simple and a great recipe! I'm sure you could add your own chocolate chips, chunks, or shavings to make it extra special. Maybe even some Andees mint shavings to make it peppermint, yum!
Recipe for you!
Buckeyes
2 cups peanut butter
1 stick margarine, melted
3 cups sifted confectioners sugar
16 ounces chocolate chips
1/3 bar paraffin wax
In a large bowl combine the peanut butter, margarine and confectioners sugar and mix well. Chill, form into walnut size balls. Melt chocolate chips and paraffin in a double boiler. Dip balls into chocolate mixture to coat. Place on wax paper until firm.

Could someone share the recipe for these? Thanks.
Thank you so much for the recipe!!!
Thanks about my niece, i may be a little biased but... i love her.
I moved to Myrtle Beach, SC and am up visiting them in Jacksonville for Christmas! You are here too? that's very cool! The weather is funny... back home they will have a white Christmas but out here I was on the beach last week hangin!! The South is very different and I love it, but the humidity is DEFINITELY something that makes me think twice about living here...
I will try these cookies, it's a surprise since my sis is always busy with the baby and her hubby really wanted some.
Not sure of exact recipe, but here: (sm)
Scoop out seeds & gunk of a pie pumpkin, keeping lid to use later. Use apple slices, raisins /cranberries/other dried fruit, walnuts (or other nuts of your choice) to fill pumpkin along with brown sugar, butter, and a little cinnamon. Bake at 450 degrees until you can easily poke through the pumpkin flesh inside. You may want to wait and put the lid in partway through baking, so it doesn't dry out and shrink. Serve in the pumpkin, and as people spoon out a little of the filling they can scrape the inside of the pumpkin to get some of the flesh.
My grandma made this, and she never writes down her recipes. So when I asked her, she said to experiment with whatever, so the above is really only a loose guideline.
Thanks for sharing this recipe
I'm going to visit my daughter at college soon so I plan on bringing a bunch of "supplies". She lives in a house with about 6 other girls this semester. I'm going to bake a bunch of these to bring also ! 
Stuffing recipe
Looking for a good meatless stuffing recipe. Could possibly use sausage in it, but would prefer a meatless one. Thanks for any suggestions.
scrapple recipe - here ya go......sm
http://lynnescountrykitchen.net/amish/scrapple.html
I have an excellent recipe if you want it. sm
just make a note under this message, I'll check later and type it in.
I thought you had a recipe! LOL.. sm
I was wondering what type of a recipe you had for an ice cream treat instead, you described a nice scene with Cupid. I lost mine a couple years ago and was thinking about welcoming a new one to the house. You may have actually convinced me to do it. Our 4-legged friends are such stress relievers and, boy, could I use one now.
Where did the recipe board go?sm
I am looking for a dessert recipe that will hold up in traveling. I am driving to a graduation party two hours away. I live in New England and right now it is super hot. I can put it on ice. I do not know what to bring. This person is constantly bringing something to our house when she comes. A plant, a bottle of wine, a candle etc. The party is being catered (in their backyard) so I am thinking more on the way of a dessert. Any suggestions?
RECIPE CONSOLIDATION sm
When I find a new recipe on line I bookmark it. I have at least 50 bookmarked. When people give me a recipe I type them into Microsoft Word. Does anyone know of a program that is like a Recipe box on line that you can actually put your recipes into and categorize them.
TIA
foodtv.com has a Recipe Box with it. Just have to log in to

Recipe Thing
They have a recipe box to keep your recipes and you can also browse others' recipes and add them to your box with just a click.
So he's out drunk and with a gun. S/l a recipe for
disaster to me.
Just tried your hamburger BBQ recipe...sm
and it was GREAT!
I usually use Manwich or a package seasoning mix because I've never found a homemade recipe that we liked very well, but tried yours tonight and it was wonderful!!... even without the green peppers, since I didn't have any.
Thanks!
Thanks for recipe. Will try it out tonight. nm
I would love the recipe too!
I am allergic to many laundry soaps so I usually buy "Free and Clear" which is a little more costly than others. Maybe this could be perfect for me! It certainly would not have any additives like fragrance and dye.
Thanks for sharing your recipe!
That was really nice and thoughtful of you. I can't wait to try it.
Bread recipe
When you say you put yeast in hot water, do you mean just warm water?? I thought hot water would make the yeast not work.
Anyone have a to-die-for recipe for salsa? Thanks! nm
recipe for the cake? nm

Yes, will you post the recipe please?
I think I know kind of what you are talking about, but I don't think the ones I am thinking of have peanur butter in them, so I would love the recipe! Thanks
