Need some fun baking ideas!

In my search for banana recipes I came across this website I thought was pretty neat. All of her stuff looks scrumptious Eager to try the lemon bars, malted whopper cupcakes, and dulce cheesecake bars, oatmeal applesauce cookies (might do those this weekend) and she has these chocolate chip cookie truffles that look scrumptious. I think it's a cute website thought you might enjoy. http://www.brandysbaking.com/2011/10/chocolate-chip-cookie-truffles.html ...

At my husband's family get together last weekend, I realized that my husband's family is just too huge to keep buying individual Christmas presents (15 adults and 5 kids, not counting his dad and my parents) plus our 3 kids so I've decided to get nice containers like a hatbox and fill it with baked goods, spiced pecans and jar mixes for each family. So my questions are: What jar mixes do you like to give/receive? What baked goods do you like to give/receive? TIA ...

I found a recipe for a blueberry coffee cake. The recipe is using a 9 x 13 pan baking at 350 for 40-45 mins. If I want to use a Bundt pan, does anyone know how long I would bake it for? Thanks, ...

I found a recipe for no bake chocolate oat bars, but I'm confused about the conversion rate they have. (I'll post the recipe below). They look good so wanted to give it a try. My question is this... Is .5 cups = 1/2 cup? It says - .5 cup, packed (7.8 oz.) Brown Sugar. When I looked up how many ounces in 1/2 cup the i-net has 1/2 cup = 4 oz. When I looked up how many cups is 7.8 oz it says 7.8 oz = .975 c. I've never heard of .975 cups. S ...

regarding job creation? I have heard the now debunked "less taxes and less regulations for the wealthy WILL create jobs" myth. Anything else? Do you think he is waiting until he is up against Obama to put forth plans? ...

If you found a charge on your husband's credit card statement for a flower shop - how would you gather information? I don't want to ask him out right and get excuses. If I call the flower shop - will they give me that information?? TIA ...

My daughters are grown, mid-20s and married. I have obtained the few things that they put on their lists but I am looking for some ideas for some "extras," unexpected things. Anyone have some good ideas? Thanks so much!!! ...

I will be celebrating at home this Friday with my 5-year-old son and 8-month-old son (and hopefully hubby when he\\\'s off work) Just wondering what everyone does to celebrate, if you have any fun ideas for us, such as food, games, etc. My 5 yr old is really looking forward to it!! Thanks for you help and ideas!! ...

Just wondering what everyone uses as stocking stuffers besides the usual fruits and nuts. I read another post under the DH/SO post about the sweet gifts in a stocking so just thought we could share some tips too. I usually just fill ours with the usual: Fruits, nuts, chocolates, batteries to accompany gifts, candies. My 18-yo informed me that bobby pins would make great stocking stuffers so I might add that this year! I also am thinking of playing a trick on my kiddos, ...

My dental hygienest and I decided to do 1 random act of kidness each month, but it cannot be donate money somewhere. It actually has to be to do something, like work in the soup kitchen, or volunteer at the pet shelter to walk dogs or clean cages. Can anyone post some creative ideas to get us going? Thanks in advance. ...

I have a chest of drawers that is still useable but unsightly. Am trying to think of a way to have in a girl's room, some sort of cover but do not care to refinish it or paint. Any ideas at all? TIA. ...

So left leg starts swelling..Go to doc, rule out DVT said my valves are bad. His answer, take a baby aspirin a day (I look like I have been in a fight Im so bruised) and yesterday at end of shift my leg is tight swollen and my foot. Of course I elevated it and this morning it is better (not totally down) but I know by end of shift it will be bad again. Anyone have any ideas. Personally I would rather have it fixed then deal with this, I have 3 more years to work at this job and I'm only ...

I need ideas for a 'cute something' for an 80th birthday gathering. They are having a few of friends gather for the celebration at a wknd hotel. Thought some sort of 'name tags' or 'funky decorated hats' would be adorable so they are noticed all wknd. (or maybe not) so I am searching for ideas/thoughts/creativity. I believe there will only be 4-6 people in the party. ...

My significant other is forever sleeping on the sofa because he works second shift and it looks bad. You cant reverse the cushions on this one and those throw over things keep falling down. Any suggestions. These cushions are fixed but you can get behind them. I put a sheet on it but it looks a bit odd in the living room. I was thinking maybe a flat top flannel sheet or something that would look half decent. I believe it will stay tucked in or can someone give ...

I'm sick of candy, chips and peanuts. I know of apples, grapes etc. I go online to look up healthy snacks and get the usual 3 pretzels wrapped in one piece of proscutto with a pretty toothpick sticking out of it (something like that), or they have a piece of weird bread topped with strawberries drizzled with some white stuff (probably yogurt)...blek! (though I do like yougurt and strawberries, but not into gourmet looking snacks. Looking for some different ideas, Not look ...

Kids! You start on a vacation and no more than 10 miles and they are asking when are we going to be there? I would like some ideas for my friends, nothing sexy, no bad language. I do not need Mary Poppins or that sugary. Thought about Raiders because I loved the movie, read the reviews written by kids and the majority talked against the movie so back to first base. Any ideas? ...

I don't have enough PTO saved yet as I recently started for this employer, but I'm so ready for one. Anyone w/ suggestions on Northeast US Coast? I need to fly or else, well, I'll end up divorced as we don't do long-term driving situations well. Any suggestions? ...

I'd like to make homemade pizza with chicken and artichokes and fresh tomatoes. Maybe with a pesto sauce (not sure on pesto or not). I had a pizza once that had grilled chicken and artichokes and tomatoes and it was really good. Anyone have any suggestions on how they would prepare chicken to put on a pizza. And do you think pesto would be good or do you think it would throw off the tastes. ...

My husband lost his job in June and was out of work until October when he started working as a relief driver for a company delivering bread then in November was laid off. We have had a very hard year and now that Christmas is here he is still out of work and still no word from unemployment, so we are living on my salary just scraping by. Each of the boys are getting one gift but we are not buying anything for each other. I am making him a '12 Days of Christmas Coupon Book& ...

One is for a dear friend of mine that passed away this week after a long courageous battle with cancer. She has left behind a husband and 2 teenage sons. I'm wanting to take a meal up to them once a week or so to help them get through this time and make sure they are eating. I know there are other friends that will also be doing this as well. Any ideas would be helpful. Also, a couple at our church has taken in some teenage kids every Monday nig ...

When we have hot dogs there are always buns left over. Tried grilling them for toast. Didn't taste so good. Tried under the broiler and they burned. Tried squooshing them and put them in the toaster, tasted like squooshed bread :-) I hate to throw them out. Any suggestions (besides get more hot dogs) :-) ...

I'm looking for some halloween costume ideas for a party my DH and I have been invited to. We'd like to dress as a couple, but we don't have to. We're both on the plus size. I'm a size 18 (I'm larger across the chest than anywhere) and my DH is a size 38/40 tall (he carries his weight in his tummy and across the chest). I picked up a pair of pleather pants for myself on a clearance rack and thought about going as Sandy from Grease and my hubs as D ...

I have recently noticed left foot swelling, more so than right although a little on the right sometimes. I also feel like I am having swelling in my trunk area, not necessarily my abdominal area but the trunk. I am not using added/excessive salt. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas on the cause of this. ...

Hi all, My son's last day of school is today. Looking for some fun, inexpensive ideas to keep him busy at home and for both of us when we can be on the go! I don't want video games and/or TV watching to be the main ingredient of his summer days. We don't have any kids in the area his age to play with, and he is the only one at home anymore so no siblings to play with. He is 10 and it is hard to keep him from getting bored and wanting to "veg" all day. Any ideas appreciated ...

Recently inquired about how to make an old chest of drawers presentable for a girl's bedroom and thanks for the ideas. I finally was able to decide on and buy a tapestry, peace sign with suns and it looks adorable! Large enough to cover the top and hang down on the front. I spent the holiday yesterday painting a night stand (well actually 2) for the bedroom, bought from someone on Craigslist for $10.00 and then being as 1 was brown and 1 was blue and they matched in dimensions, got some sem ...

I would like to use blackstrap molasses (organic, unsulphured) for its potassium content, but other than putting it on oatmeal and cereal, I am not sure what to use it with. Would like to avoid baking it in cookies and breads as I want to watch the calorie count. Tried mixing it with water, but did not like it. I have just been diagnosed with hypertension and put on HCTZ. Doc said it is possible that with losing 5 lbs and diet modification, the HCTZ could be stopped. I am trying to use the D ...

My daughter and I moved in with my mom and step-dad and my mom, who is the world's best cook, doesn't want to cook dinner every night of the week, can you believe that?!?!? I mean that's one of the reasons I was so quick to accept her invitation to move in! Seriously, I want to help her out, but I work in the office now and so I need some ideas for quick, yummy dinners like casseroles that can be made up the night before and then just stuck in the oven when I g ...

Recently I read a post if anyone had any inexpensive and easy Christmas ideas. A friend sent me this today and I thought I would pass it along. I already do the thing with the tape, and I love the pancake idea. I'm not sure I would do the chip bag. ...

My grandson is 10, and a very smart young man. All he is into is computer games, iPad, etc. He will watch a movie on TV if it is something he is interested in, or go to the movies with us when he visits. Besides that, what do we do? He does not like board games (they are not on the computer). Card games do not last long either. Looking for ways to entertain him, interact with him when he visits that does not involve the computer. Any ideas? We live in a very small town so no museums, et ...
