AllRecipes.com

I have a couple of friends that have raved about allrecipes, and now its my turn.  It is an AMAZING website.  Take a look.  www.allrecipes.com  I used it at home, and normally stuff came out well.  Mainly because I only choose things that have 4 or 5 stars.  Well, here cooking has been a little harder, mainly because it took a while to figure out the grocery store, which I have now accomplished, and stuff cost more.  And some of our staples are barely eaten here.  For example, Aaron loves Granola, don't have it here.  Its all Muesli.  Which I like, he doesn't.  I tried making some granola the other day and it wasn't too bad.  Another things is applesauce.  As you know, at home there is more applesauce choices than you ever will need.   I couldn't find any applesauce at the store.  I got a man to help me and there was 1 I say 1 small can of applesauce in a HUGE supermarket.  And it was like $4 for a small can.  WHAT?  We eat applesauce a ton.  We even love applesauce and cinnamon in our pancakes.  You should try it, its yummy.  The kids have had to learn to eat oatmeal without applesauce.  I am going to get some apples from the market and make some soon.  Anyways, that was a huge tangent.  Back to allrecipes.  We got some pancake mix, again expensive and not near as good as Aunt Jemima's, but we were less than impressed.  So, I tried making some from scratch.  Here's the recipe...delicious. Fluffy Pancakes.  If you know Caleb and I at all, we LOVE chocolate chip cookies.  We honestly love the break and bakes the best.  Once they came out with the "natural" ones, we probably put on 5 lbs.  Not that they are "natural" or better for you, but they taste better.  Anyways, I have never made cookies from scratch that came close to comparing.  Well, I finally did and we are in trouble.  Here is the AMAZING recipe.  Take them out a minute or two before they are ready and they are heavenly.  The last one I will share is brownies!!! They are soooo good too.  I have made many dinners using All recipes and love how you can list ingredients and then recipes will show up.  I honestly use it almost everyday.  So, cooking has gotten much easier and if I can say so myself, I have cooked a few good meals.  Which I know I'm not the worlds best cook so I am always very happy to find recipes that we all like.  Hopefully one day I will feel confident enough to cook without a recipe.
