Cake DropsThis recipe was "developed by" Cynthia Ann Starr in Louisiana. It started out as cake mix cookies but I had forgotten the exact recipe and "thought" it was 3 eggs. These taste like cake and are soft like cake but you can pick them up like cookies. Freezes wonderfully.

 

Whipped Potatoes and Carrots

Whipped Potatoes and CarrotsThis is one of my kids' favorite potato dishes. I used to make this when they were babies, to get them to eat both potatoes and vegetables at the same time. I still make these because you can spice these up. What a great dish to compliment any roast or meal you are cooking!

I have defrosted the line and water comes back out, but gets frozen again. Water no longer comes out of the dispenser as well. What could be the problem?

Treating a Puppy for Worms?I just got my 6 week old puppy today and was told he needed to be dewormed. I bought him some Sentry Worm X DS. Earlier I checked his poop for worms and there were none. I gave him the medicine anyways, he didn't take it all, but when he pooped again it had about 3 or 4 long worms they were not moving.
