Can you elaborate a little on the "Keep at rolling boil and cook till soft ball forms in cold water" part. I'm guessing I scoop a bit out and drop it into water to test? Thanks!!

I'm guessing I scoop a bit out and drop it into water to test? Thanks!! While the ingredients are boiling you just get like a cup of cold water. Then like you said just scoop a litte out. It doesn't take much just like a drop. Put it in the cup. If you can form a soft ball then it is done.
momof3luvs1 Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Ricotta cake 1 yellow cake box mix ( and any additional ingredients used to make the cake mix) 2tsp vanilla ( or vanilla pudding jello mix) The pudding mix will make it WAY more moist, while the vanilla extract will just give it more of a vanilla flavor but keep a firmer consistancy) 4 eggs 2lbs ricotta cheese 3/4 cup sugar Confectionary sugar Make the yellow cake mix as directed on the box. Grease pan and put cake mix in pan Mix together your ricotta, sugar, vanilla, and eggs Spread this mixture on top of the cake mixture Place in oven at 350 degrees for one hour ( Cake mixture should now be on top with ricotta mixture on the bottom) Let cool and then cut into squares. Then top with confectionary sugar.
hopeky94 Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 We don't make this as much anymore, with how expensive even generic Velveeta is nowadays, but this one is a favorite for snacking during afternoon gatherings, while sipping on hot chocolate (or hot flavored tea)... :) Cheesy Sausage Dip 1 large box Velveeta (generic works fine)1 can tomatoes with green chiles (like Rotel)1 can cream of chicken (or mushroom) soup1-2 lbs bulk sausage, cooked and crumbled Put all ingredients in crockpot on High, stirring occasionally, until melted. Turn down to Low and let cook for 1-2 hours (or more), to let flavors blend. Turn to lowest setting and serve directly from crockpot. Refrigerate any leftovers; reheats best in individual servings in the microwave.
arci122 Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies 1 Cup crunchy peanut butter 3/4 Cup Sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Mix together, plop on tray with spoon. Cook 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees, they are soooo good.
AuntieJul Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Spritz Cookies - to be used in a cookie press (or what we call the cookie gun) 3 sticks of butter, softened 1 egg 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 3 1/2 cups flour coloring and sprinkles, if desired Preheat oven to 375. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add the sugar, egg, and vanilla; mix well. (If coloring the dough, add it with the liquids). Add the flour one cup at a time until soft dough forms. Put dough into cookie press, press cookies onto cool cookie sheets, bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden on the bottom. Let cool 2 minutes on sheets, then transfer to cookie racks. If using cocoa powder for chcolate cookies, substitute 1/2 c cocoa for flour. If using sprinkles, add to cookies before baking. Just made this two days ago with the Pumpkin press and orange coloring for pumpkin cookies! The trickiest part is the butter - too cold and it won't come out, too soft and they'll lose their form...
