Graham Crackers : page 122

Other recipes I've found for graham crackers advise rolling the dough to a thickness of 1/8"; these are rolled out to 1/4" and still turn out crisp. I dust them with cinnamon sugar and my family likes them a lot. We made small bags of these as party favors for my daughter's birthday.

Rice and Cheese Treasures : page 219

We had some leftover rice from Chinese takeout and I thought I could put it to use with this recipe. These cheese-filled rice balls looked fine in the picture, but once I started making them, the combination of cold rice and bits of cheese sticks just gave me the squicks.

Rice-Cooker Mac and Cheese : page 160

My favorite mac and cheese recipe is from The Best Recipe. This isn't as creamy, but it's a good compromise for speed and ease, and beats boxed by a mile. The recipe calls for 1.5 cups of shredded three-cheese blend; when I first made this, I had some finely shredded blend which included Monterey Jack, which is pretty mild. I measured it but didn't pack it, and was disappointed with the results. I could tell that the recipe had potential, though, so the next time, I used sharp cheddar and packed it, and that batch turned out much better. Maybe a weight equivalent of the volume of shredded cheese would have been helpful.

Slow-Cooker Pulled Pork Tacos : page 190

Tasty, very tender, and very easy. This recipe will definitely become part of our family's dinner rotation. It does makes a lot of broth; you have to drain your pork very well or else your soft taco gets soggy. Next time I make this, I'll use medium or hot salsa rather than mild.
