[LindsayDunn228]

You guys are making me feel so bad. I really focused more on the recipes than the extras But in my defense, there are some ROCKING recipes in there!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

It's okay Lindsay. I spent waayy more time on my recipes than the extras. I treated them more like a scrapbook recipe exchange. From reading what everyone has received, I think so far I've sent the lamest extras, although I do think that apron was pretty original. Next year I promise to send better extras.

 

[sjh801]

Thank you to Rae Jean (powelljr) for a great exchange.

Recipes
Crock Pot Mashed Potatoes
Easy Sticky Buns
6 Week Muffins (keeps in refrigerator so you can bake anytime )
Homemade Cracker Jack
Chocolate Coated Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookie (like Girl Scout cookie)
Ritz Thin Mints (like Girl Scout cookie)
Easy No Bake cookie
Toffee Bars (with graham crackers; I have one with saltines)
Chocolate No Bake Cookies

All of the recipes look easy and are timesavers, something we all need!

Included was a note telling where the recipes came from and how she uses them. My recipes were all packed in a box with 2 silicone round baking pans and 1 silicone muffin pan, Halloween kitchen towels and a pumpkin pie Yankee tart. I haven't tried any silicone baking pans yet, so now I can try them out.

Thanks again for the great exchange!

 

[Meriweather]

You guys are making me feel so bad. I really focused more on the recipes than the extras But in my defense, there are some ROCKING recipes in there!

Recipes are the focus As long as the minimum is met for the extras that is just fine. They are just that ..."extras"

Sandy, I have the toffee one with the saltines too. Wow!! They are good.
Will one you post the one with the graham crackers please?
LOVE silicone bakeware!! I'm sure you will too.

Remember....NO MAIL Monday, and Tuesday is mail day!! Still about 20 exchanges to get mailed out. PLEASE be on time. I need this to be all wrapped up by the time my counter hits the zero

Why is there no mail on Monday??

I guess mine will go out then on Tuesday. It was ready to go Saturday but I was too late for the P.O and I just don't like using that automated machine for mailing during off hours. I couldn't get it to give me a delivery confirmation the one time I tried it so no more!
