Do you make recipes found on packages?

I saved that recipe!

I hope all of the recipes mentioned here and in the first thread on kittencal's old site get posted here. I am still hoping to get the recipe from the Near East couscous box that kchurchill recommended (with mint, cranberries, and apricots and a dressing).

I will have to dig through my clippings and compare any that differ from what is up on the product websites - I bet a lot of them are different. I know I have some good bread recipes I clipped off of flour containers.

I just saw this. Sorry, I was off for a day and never saw this. I have it on my other computer. I will look it up for you. Is it the one I made or the one on the box. I have 2 of them. Please remind me if I forget. I have a note here, but I won't be on my other computer until Thursday (my son is borrowing it, his crashed and burned).

It was the one you had mentioned finding off the near east box for dried fruit couscous - with apricots, cranberries, fresh mint, etc. I'd love both recipes actually - I make couscous a lot but have so far only a couple of ways to prepare it.

Classic Toll House Cookies from the package of chocolate chips for sure.
Rice Krispy Treats (for church fairs and the office -- folks RAVE) from the package of mini marshmallows.
Years ago when I lived in NYC and could get fresh Cornish game hens they came with recipe cards packed with each one and I've made a number of those.

I'm sure there are more that I'll think of, but those just popped to the top of my mind.

Oh, I remember when those wee hens came with recipes, too, Marion! The BEST one I had, involved wild rice, almonds and Mandarin oranges. Recipe lost long, long ago; boy, that was a splendid meal.

Since starting this thread, I've been eagle-eyeing ALL the stuff I buy. Saw a recipe for Ozark Dressing on a package of celery, for goodness sake. Didn't like the recipe though...too many nuts. (I'm not talking about me or my family, either! LOL)
