Cherry Pie Filling

Source: Tammy’s Recipes
Makes about three cups

“Very tasty cherry pie filling/topping! Delicious on cheesecake :) Your’s probably shouldn’t come out as thick as mine, unless that’s how you like it. I’m pretty sure I used a little too much cornstarch. Tammy recommends Clear Jel because it is easier to see the thickness hot or cold, unlike cornstarch, which is probably why mine was too thick.”

Skillet Cabbage and Ground Beef

Source: Home Ec. 101
Makes four servings

I found this recipe and then just threw everything together without measuring much of anything. All I had was a can of petite diced tomatoes (which I ran through the Chopper to make smooth) and half a cup of tomato sauce, but came out really good! It’s just too bad my husband doesn’t like cabbage.

Winner!

After going through all the comments a second time to make sure rules were followed, and then adding about 23 entries to the end of the list (in the order they were originally posted by the people who forgot to leave their “first” comment).  A random number was drawn between 1 and 233 and the number chosen was 159… continue reading..
