I watched the 'Cooking with Ming' yesterday and was hoping that someone has the recipe for his 'Master Cookie Dough. It looked wonderful, but while I was trying to copy down the ingredients, I missed the amount of butter he used. It was a very versitile basic cookie recipe that can then be used to make sweet and savoury cookies. I'd be grateful for any help.
Cheers,
Wendy from Hervey Bay, Australia

Does anyone know how to make a homemade granola bar? The bar I buy at the store has almonds, sunflower seeds, cranberries and whatever. Any ideas? I take these to work; don't want a jar of loose ones.

We were given at Christmas a tin of delicious somethings... I don't know what they are called but they were small squares of pie crust that was rolled around a filling which had walnuts, I think brown sugar, cinnamon and maybe flour. Does anyone know what they were and do you have a recipe? I would appreciate it.
Thanks,

I just recently found my love for cilantro. I put it in almost everything. What are some of your easy recipes with cilantro? I chop some onion, jalepeno pepper, tomatoes, avocados, and squeeze some lemon on it. So delicious!

What frozen turkey do you like?
I usually buy a frozen turkey for the holidays, both thanksgiving and christmas. I usually buy an off brand. Sometimes they are good, and sometimes not so good. What brand of frozen turkeys do you recommend? I think butterball are overrated.
Thanks,

My son had an unbelievably tender rib eye at a nice restaurant. Any idea how the restaurant insured the flavor and tenderness? The restaurant was Cuba Libre, Dallas, TX.

Once again, I didn't save the recipe because it was soooooo easy, so I don't know who to thank. I used the recipe for peppermint or candy cane pie twice for my holiday gatherings, and twice it was a huge hit. Thank you to whoever sent it in. It was a delicious lifesaver. I used it for our Amish friends gathering. We took them out to see the lights, then I told them that I was serving our traditional Christmas Eve appetizers, where we go to church in the evening, then home to "graze" all night. We had a huge spread of just appetizers: Rumaki, Snausages, barbecued chicken wings, fruit salad, relish and pickle plate, cheese plate with crackers, warm cheese ball, bread bowl with spinach dip inside, munchie chips, dip, and that heavenly pie with punch and coffee! We were the subject of the Amish school the next day, when the students of the one-room schoolhouse had to guess what the teachers had for supper!
On Christmas eve, I was assigned the task of dessert, because I am supposed to be the "Queen of Desserts" in the family, and took the pie to our family gathering. Once again, it was wonderful, and just the right touch.
Thank you to whoever sent that wonderful, extremely easy, dessert recipe. I will use it often.
Have a wonderful 2007!
With sincere love and affection to my Thriftyfun friends,
Margie Minard from beautiful Mount Vernon, Ohio

Homemade Chicken Or Beef Pot Pie For Two
This recipe comes from my daughter Trisha Currin. She is married with a brand new baby. This is how she saves money when she breaks down and buys one of those fast and easy already cooked chickens.
First, she and her husband make one dinner out of the chicken then she de-bones the rest, adds some mixed vegetables that she always buys in the huge bag at Sam's Club. She then microwaves this for a couple of seconds, just enough to get it warm. Then she freezes it. She buys pie crust in bulk when she finds it on sale. When she needs a fast recipe for dinner, she defrosts her chicken and vegetables and adds one can of cream of chicken soup and puts it her piecrust and bakes according to the instructions on the pie crust. Fast and easy, and she gets two meals out of one chicken. She also does this with beef but adds the gravy to the meat and vegetables and then freezes. I hope this gives someone an easy quick meal this holiday season.
