Recipe Requests
I am wondering if anyone has a recipe that is like the Girl Scout Tagalongs? Any recipe similar to these would be great! I did go to the copycatrecipes.com that I read about on here, but it was more like a search and I didn't see any recipes.
Thank you!

Cooking a Prime Rib or Any Other Roast
Directions
To make a roast come out just like you get in a restaurant, cook as follows:
Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees F. (no hotter!)** see below!
Place roast fat-side up in a shallow cooking pan on a rack (unless a rib, ribs form their own rack). Season as you like, add 1/2 cup water and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Insert the probe of an electronic thermometer through the thickest part of the meat, so the tip is in the center of the roast, puncturing thru the aluminum foil.
Set the thermometer to beep when the internal temperature reaches 120 F. Allow approx. 45 min. / lb.
When it's 120 F., pull roast, thermometer and all from the oven and sit on top of the stove or counter. Let sit, still covered and with probe intact, until internal temperature rises to 130 F. (it will cook by itself-about 1/2 hr. to hour).
Meanwhile, raise temp. of oven to 500 F. When roast reached 130 F., pull out probe and remove foil, then let brown for 15 min. in hot oven.
Pull out and remove roast from pan, use drippings to make gravy while roast is 'setting' (juices congeal, about 15 min). Carve and enjoy! Roast will be evenly pink from edge to center without the usual brown ring to a small pink center when cooked at a higher temp, and will be very moist.
**Water boils at 212 deg. F., and you boil out the moisture from each cell when cooked at a higher temp, making roast brown and dry, overcooking the outer 1/2 to get the inner half done. This takes longer but the results are spectacular, just like it's served in a fine restaurant!

Ingredients
Other added options:
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Lightly grease some cookie sheets. In a large bowl sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In another large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs; beat well. Add vanilla; beat to combine. Gradually stir flour mixture into the butter-sugar mixture. Beat well.
With a spoon, stir in rolled oats, corn flakes and coconut. Drop by teaspoonsful onto prepared baking sheets. The cookies should be about 2 inches apart. Bake 1 sheet at a time until cookies are lightly browned, about 8 - 10 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool.
Yield: About 5 Dozen cookies
These freeze well. Please share some with an older friend/neighbor that no longer is able to bake. COOKIE HUGS
