Dolly; ours did the same thing but we figured out that it works best if you leave them in until they begin to melt. Didn't do any this year, but going to make some for Valentine's day I'm hoping.

My mom made it randomly one day and I loved it!!! I redid the recipe, not exactly how she did but this is what I came up with and it was delicious! Yes we invented this recipe!

This is a classic Thai dish. It is one of our daughter’s favorite when she eats out so I did some research and this is the recipe I came up with.

This is something my mother used to make for breakfast on Sundays. It was my favorite meal. I remember always searching around for any leftovers to eat for dinner.

I stopped going out to pubs and bars recently...I had a craving for my favorite dish my favorite one used to serve, called "Yamaimo Teppan", but I didn't have an electric griddle at home...So I made something like it at home using my imagination.Be warned, it's just my imagination!The cooking time will vary depending on your oven, so cook it until it browns nicely.It was still nice and gooey after reheating in the microwave, but I recommend eating this fresh from the oven.I think this would go well with soy sauce.

While my step daughter was down here living with us, she had to have some periodontal work and she could only have liquids and soft foods for the first few days after. I knew she liked potatoes so I figured a potato soup would be perfect but I did not just want it to be regular boring potatoes and milk so,together and came up with this soup. It turned out to be her favorite thing I made.

I grew up eating a certain boxed mac and cheese. Never real homemade macaroni. I didn't understand what the big deal was until I tasted my former mother in-law's. Hers was AMAZING! I have been trying for years to get mine to be somewhere close to hers but to no avail. So I decided to ask around (couldn't ask my ex mother in-law) and after many holidays of trying different combinations, I think we've found the winning recipe! My family loved it so much this past Thanksgiving I had to make another pan of it today (3 days after thanksgiving!) I hope everyone else likes it too

Cooked dessert for friends. Nice sweet food while we converse.

My kids wanted applesauce and we didn't have any in the house. We did, however, have apples! So this is what I came up with, and now the kids won't eat any other kind of applesauce.

Some people may use Italian seasoning on this, but it's not my thing so I didn't. But whatever floats your boat. 😃
