  • Chocolate Chip Cookies 2

    I got this recipe from the Internet at tasty.co.I am anxious to try it. I also think adding ground oatmeal will help the cookies stay soft for days. I would substitute about 1/4 cup of ground oatmeal for 1/4 cup of the bread flour. Rolled oats have about 12g of protein per cup. GP Flour…

    This recipe is based on my Mayonnaise Horseradish recipe. It is even better when you sprinkle in some Chicken and Rib Rub.

  • Horseradish Sauce – Mayonnaise Base

She said, “It is Hellmann’s.” Thats when I realized I have been making this sauce wrong. My Sour Cream recipe is very good but it lacks the tartness of the…

Anything you add to the cheese will make the texture firmer and less crunchy. Never use pre-grated parmesan because it has additives. Grate…
