Delicious Recipes You Should've Asked For

This post is in honor of Landon, who complained that I didn't have any new recipes up. The reason that there haven't is that nobody's asked for any of my recipes lately! So here are a list of links to recipes that we've tried and very much enjoyed, and perhaps you will too:


---How to Make Your Own Ice Cream In 5 Minutes---
Review: Quick, delicious, and takes a minimal amount of ingredients readily found in your own house. Tires out your arms, but its totally worth it.

---Copycat Girl Scout Cookie Recipes---
Review: We've made the Samoas recipe several times (recipe number 2). VERY time consuming!! They take forevvvver to make (less ingredients if you buy premade caramel, but then you have to unwrap alllll the little caramels). But SO WORTH IT!! Plus they make a billion. And they taste so good. For those of you with not as much time, there's a "no bake Samoas" recipe on the list we haven't tried but need to! And for those of you who don't like Samoas (what's wrong with you??), there are many more types of the cookies on the list.

---Copycat Pizza Hut Pizza Sauce---
Review: Simple and incredibly delightful pizza sauce. We tend to add twice as much garlic powder, plus some fresh garlic as well, but its fine as written.

---Homemade Gyoza (Potsticker) Wrappers---
Review: Long time, worth it. I have a tasty recipe for the filling, should anybody ask for it.

---Crock Pot Carnitas---
Review: We made these a rather long time ago, so I don't remember a lot about these, except they were SO GOOD!

---Copycat Lofthouse Cookies---
Review: So we haven't actually made these yet, but the person who originally posted this on some blog claimed that her grandma used to work for Lofthouse waaay back in the day and that this was the original recipe. True or not, this sounds super good anyway!

Here's her post:
"I have never made this recipe but I know it is the original. For some reason the copy that was given to me only has the ingredients listed and no directions. So with that in mind, please don't be mad at me if they don't turn out just right for you.

Lofthouse Cookies:
2 eggs
2 C. sugar
2 C. cream
2/3 tsp. Salt
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
2 C. shortening (Lard)
Vanilla to taste
Enough flour to form a soft ball (She told me that the key to making soft, fluffy cookies is to add a lot of flour. But she didn't tell me how much. )

I assume that you just mix all of the ingredients together because there are no special directions listed. Bake at 350º (again no specified time) and the cookies need to stay white.

Icing:
1 pkg. powdered sugar
1 egg
1 can condensed milk (for spreading)
1 tsp shortening
1 tsp butter

I'm sorry that these recipes are so vague as to the directions. I didn't realize that when I posted that I had the recipe. But now you have all of the ingredients, so maybe, just maybe you can make it work."
