Hi, Never made this bread. But, made a banana bread on Thursday and I melted the butter but forgot to add it to the batter. So, the bread had 2 eggs and 1/2 cup yogurt and bananas. It came out just fine. Between the liquid from the cherries and the eggs--I would use large eggs it should be

The crock pot recipies I know of for Macaroni and Cheese are not for the box kind. But, rather a bunch of things tossed into the crock... Rice does well in the crock pot. But, not sure about pre-packeged stuff... Lori -Original Message- From: Lisa P. Geibel via Cookinginthedark

[CnD] accessible slow cookers

I agree with Charles. There is no reason to purchase things like slow cookers or Forman grills from a company focused on the blind. I have 3 slow cookers and all have been purchased from various stores. I go in and check them out to see if they have a dial verses buttons - since that is what I

I start at the edges and work my way in to the middle using a knife. The edges of whatever I am spreading on give me a better reference point than starting in the middle and working my way out.I've just settled on the fact that every bite may have a different level of whatever I've put on...

I personally would not try baking the stuff you buy in the store in the oven. Below is a recipe I've used for over 20 years. We learned it in high school in a cooking class. To reduce the fat content you can use skim milk and reduced fat cheeses. Baked Macaroni and Cheese 1 pound box macaroni
