Cheesy Eggplant Stacks
With lots of vegan sausage on the market now (Gimme Lean,Field Roast, Gardein and Morningstar Farms) its easy to make this vegetarian 

 

Go-Go Boots
Ahhh,yes! I had a pair of those boots! I thought they were referred to as Beatle Boots though...maybe a regional thing? These only came up to the ankle,though. They also came in black...I think mine were white. I do recall that first day I got to wear them...

 

Simple Carrot Cookies
Havent tried these,but I think Id certainly add spices-cinnamon,ginger and maybe a pinch of cloves. Oh,and a drizzle of icing! 

 

Walnut Potato Bread
There is no second rising time,other than the time it takes to preheat the oven? Do you think I could use the dough cycle of my bread machine and continue shaping & baking as written? Bread machines require a different mixing order (liquids in first,then dry...

13th Birthday Party Ideas?
Oooo, you might not like my answer. Seems like the perfect time to teach a lesson in gratitude. Who spoiled this child?? I think Id have just a simple little celebration and ask each guest to bring either a toy to be donated to the local childrens hospital...

 

Is My Husband Abusive or Am I?
Oh no! Listen, I spent 35 years in an emotionally abusive marriage! You get brainwashed and you believe what he tells you....GET OUT NOW WHILE YOU STILL CAN!! I didnt realize how bad things were untill I had been out of the marriage for a few years....You know...

 

Caramels Supreme
It sounds yummy,but I cant see me standing at the stove,stirring constantly, for hours! 

 

Meatless "Meatloaf"
This is NOT vegetarian with butter,eggs and cottage cheese!  (b)Editors Note:(/b) Recipes that exclude eggs and dairy would be considered to be vegan instead of vegetarian here at ThriftyFun.

 

Meatless "Meatloaf"
Disappointed that this isnt really vegetarian-eggs, butter and cottage cheese are animal products...sorry.

 

Artisan Bread
How does this work? Salt kills yeast,and it needs sugar to grow.

 

Homemade Almond Extract?
Just wondering why you wouldnt just use almonds?

 

Reviews of Skin Exfoliants?
I also make my own exfoliate, similar to the one below, but I add honey and lemon juice, and I use either grape seed oil or sweet almond oil, just because I found the olive oil too heavy for me. I found this recipe years ago in Cooking Light Magazine. I dont...

 

My Grandson Logan
