Holiday Recipe Exchange sent/received thread....COMPLETED!

[cvemom]

I also got something that looks really neat but I'm not sure what it is. It's really cute. Did you make it? What do I do with it?
I wondered the same thing....Now I know.

Thanks for the great package Colleen. It arrived yesterday but I was packing to send my DD off the camp for three days at school. It's part of their curriculum in 5th grade here. She was excited but a little upset about being away w/o 'mommy' for 3 days.
Anyway...sorry I didn't post last night. Great recipes. I can't wait to try the baked potato chips and wedding soup is my DD's favortite.
The garlic powder couldn't have come at a better time, we just ran out, and we use garlic on everything!YUM!!!!!!!!
Did you make the beautiful hand towel? I love it. And of course no one can have too many Yankee Candles. Thanks so much.

Now I better get in gear and mail mine. It's all together but it hasn't made it to the Post Office. That is next on my list.

 

[Meriweather]

I'll check in your package, Lindsay.

Any other mailings today?? We are getting short on time
Still 6 to verify mailing.

 

[briannesmom]

I'm really starting to doubt the whole Priority Mail 2-3 day thing. Even with the holiday on Monday I thought my packages would have been delivered yesterday or today. Delivery confirmation still shows nothing

 

[Meriweather]

it seems to be doing that a lot, Amy
Can't imagine what it is going to be like when the holidays are closer

 

[Tamarap]

I'm getting a little worried about my recipient. I hope she reports in!!

Yes, mom my found her package on her doorstep last nihgt when she got home. She was so excited she brought it over this afternoon to show me She received a stack of recipes including:

Baked Spaghetti
Easy Meatloaf
Crockpot Italian-Style Chicken with Spaghetti
Cookie Dough Brownies
Congo Bars
Chocolate Rum Balls
Pumpkin Chocolate Brownies
Peppermint Pattie Brownies
and many, many more.

She also recieved an assortment of spices which I can't rmember right now.

She was absolutely thrilled with her package. So a big, hearty thank you to you from her. She is so cute about these exchanges. This is only her second one, but she is like a kid when she receives her package!!! I missed signing her up for one recently and she was not happy with me. Yikes!!!!

 

[LindsayDunn228]

Tamarap, you are so welcome!! I didn't know it was for your mother. If I had known that it was for someone else I wouldn't have been so panicked about you reporting in The spices were cinnamon, cinnamon sugar (LOOOOOOOVE this stuff!!!), and nutmeg.

So glad she enjoyed it!!

I mailed my package but I kind of forgot to include one important thing. I forgot to put the recipes in the box.

To my dear recipient, I will be mailing you an envelop with the recipes as some of the goodies in the box are actually ingredients. Sorry in advance.

 

[Meriweather]

Dyan

for an arrival. I hope we hear more today.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

My box came today from pennst8r full of wonderful things and yummy recipes.

Things first-
Flexible cutting mat
Very cool snowman clear cube votive holder and candle
Snowman post-its
Shopping list with matching magnets
Ariel pen to write on everything with (now I can give back my son his PeterPan one)
Restaurant themed kitchen towel
Bat cookie cutter
Pumpkin cookie cutter
Assorted Halloween sprinkles - you know this means I have no excuse to not make the cookies now.
And a cute burlap sack full of candy

Yummy stuff next - on very festive recipe cards
Apple Spice Cake
Banana Bread
Best Rolled Sugar Cookies
Sugared Nuts (ooo I can't wait to try this one)
Pizza Pinwheels (I can do this one)
Taco Dip
Coral Reef's Peanut Butter Playdough (will be posting this one)
Mandarin Chicken Salad
Cheesy Potatoes
Chicken & Rice Burritos
Gingersnaps

These all sound do-able for the lazy cook (is that a show?) here. The Apple Spice Cake looks the hardest but boy does it sound good. I got signed up to make cookies for the boys' Halloween parties. I was going to wimp out and buy them, but now I will try to do it for real.

Thanks so much for a great exchange

PS-now I know why you booed me. I didn't know I knew you

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

2-Gradually add powdered sugar
3-Store covered at room temperature

Us an ice cream scoop to serve (stir again if needed).

[Meriweather]

sounds great!!

Anyone else receive? Or send out?

 

[pennst8r]

PS-now I know why you booed me. I didn't know I knew you

I didn't even think about the fact that you wouldn't know why!
Glad you got it....it would have bene easier if these stores around here would get some Xmas stuff in!

The spice cake is yummy....not really "spiced"--really moist. I got it from Martha Stewart. Not hard at all.

PS
I saw someone post about icing with dry Jello on their sugar cookies before baking them. Even easier!
