  RE: Tastefully Simple Recipes

  Thank you g5familia, I have copied all these recipes and plan to make them all. But I was actually looking for copies of the products themselves. I want to make my own Tastefully Simple products at home. The real ones are very expensive. We use a lot of the products now and I was hoping to make my own versions. Thank you. (02/09/2007)

  • 3 Tbsp. butter, melted.

  RE: Tastefully Simple Recipes

  I found the Apple Bread at recipelink. I'm sure the rest of your recipes can be found by a Dogpile (or Google) search.

  This recipe is so similar to TS's recipe, I wouldn't doubt if this is the one they used. I cook for a crowd, so I doubled the recipe and submitted it below. If you're serving a smaller group, cut the recipe in half and bake it in an 8x8.

  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. nutmeg or mace
  • 1 tsp. ginger
  • 6 cups peeled, diced tart apples

  Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients and add to mixture. Stir in apples. Spoon into greased 11 x 13 pan. Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.

  Optional: Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts to recipe at same time as apples.

  Optional: Serve with warm caramel sauce and ice cream/whipped cream. recipelink.com (02/09/2007)

  RE: Tastefully Simple Recipes

  I make copycat Tastefully Simple recipes, I have a Garlic Garlic one that everyone seems to love, I sell them, but I will give you the recipe because I feel generous today (lol). Here it goes. This is a puncher, just a warning, a disclaimer is that if your significant others stay away and do not want to kiss you, you know why. Also, try not to eat it on a hot humid day, due to the fact that if you eat a lot of it, your sweat and pores will smell of garlic. But that is just the risk us garlic lovers must take.
  • 3 Tbsp. granulated garlic
  • 3 Tbsp. garlic salt
  • 3 Tbsp. garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp. salt

  Mix together and add 16 oz sour cream, along with 1/4 C (4 Tbsp.) mayonnaise. I also like to add 1 can of spinach, drained and squeezed to get rid of the excess water. You can also use frozen. Hope this helps. (03/05/2007)

  RE: Tastefully Simple Recipes

  Stumbling around the internet I found what appears to be the recipe for the Fiesta dip.
  • 3 tablespoons of Southwest Seasoning
  • 1 cup of mayonnaise
  • 1 cup of sour cream

  Seems pretty simple to me and probably a lot cheaper. (05/15/2009)

  Tastefully Simple Recipes

  Does anyone know how to make "Onion Onion" from Tastefully Simple at home? I love it and go through it so quickly, it's pretty pricey to keep replacing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

  RE: Tastefully Simple Recipes

  I have never used any of these products, but reading the ingredients, they claim to use red peppers and 4 kinds of onion. I would buy red peppers, Spanish onion, yellow onion, Vidalia onion and a silver skin white onion since they are the most readily available, chop them up fairly finely and then dehydrate then in a commercial dehydrator.

  I still use the one I bought years ago and I use it to dry tomato slices, a vegetable soup mix, green and red peppers, all sorts of stuff. I package them in recycled glass jars and then they are in my pantry when I am making a braised steak or whatever. Add a few and it is a different dish. Try dehydrating. I am sure you will begin to see the uses for the products you store. (10/23/2009)
