from Jill There are several recipes of this floating out there. But I think mine is the best! I kind of combined all the recipes I've found and made it. Hope you enjoy. They're great because you usually have almost all of these ingredients on hand. Crust and Topping 1 1/2 cups quick oats 1 1/2 cups flour 1 1/4 cups brown sugar 3/4 tsp soda 1/4 tsp salt 3/4 tsp vanilla 1 cup butter, softened but not melted Filling : 1/2 to 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips (depending on if you want it more caramel-ish or more half caramel/half chocolate)--I like them more caramel-ish :) 1 (14oz) bag of Kraft Caramels (about 40 caramels), unwrapped 1 small (5 oz) can of evaporated milk In very large bowl, mix quick oats, flour, brown sugar, soda, and salt. Add butter and vanilla. Mix with hands until butter is mixed into the flour/oat mixture. Press just a tiny bit over half of the mixture into a 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium-large bowl, melt all caramels and ev...

Mix minced garlic into Alfredo sauce. Spread on dough. Sprinkle Cheese and chopped veggies in the order listed above. Bake @ 425* for 16-18 min. Enjoy! Number of Servings: 3-4 Preparation Time: 10 minutes to assemble if dough is premade

from Rachel B. Description: I love this recipe because it’s delicious and it uses basic ingredients that I always have on hand. Also – the consistency is fabulous and not your regular whole wheat crumble. I use a Bosch mixer to make my bread, but it can be done by hand as well, just make sure you knead it enough. Also – not all wheat is created equal, if you find your bread is still crumbly after kneading it properly, try using a dough enhancer or 2 cups of white flour to each batch, and then upgrade your wheat purchase. I use Hard White Wheat from the Blue Chip Group and my bread turns out beautiful. Ingredients: 6 C warm water 2 Tbs Yeast ½ c sugar (or 2/3 c honey) 4-5 C flour 2 Tbs salt 2/3 C oil More flour Directions: Combine first 3 ingredients and let sit for 5 min while yeast becomes active. Add the next 3 ingredients and mix for 5 min. Set your timer. (This is the part where the gluten is formed. It is a critical step and must not be skipped. The dough should be a silky consist...

From Heidi's Brain! :) This was inspired by J.'s creation... the Mexi-Rolls . 1 lb hamburger, cooked and drained Taco Seasoning to taste 1 pkg Spanish Rice cooked (I use the Lipton/Knorr packets -they're around $1 or less), works best cold 1/2 can of refried beans (regular or black) -use as much or little as you like grated cheese Tortillas (I used Burrito Style) green enchilada sauce (or whichever sauce you prefer) Directions: Mix the hamburger and the beans together. Make sure your tortillas are warm enough to fold easily without tearing. Put a medium portion (depending on how full you like your burrito) of meat mixture then some grated cheese and about 3 tablespoons of the rice. Fold in 2 of the "sides" of the tortilla and fold in the other sides and fold it like a burrito. Place crease down in 9x13 pan and cook in the oven at 350 degrees for about 20-30 minutes depending on how crunchy you like your burrito. Be sure to flip them over half way through so they g...
