Applesauce Bars (this recipe goes back to 1974‹it's like a spice bar)
Recipe By: Posted to r.f.c. by Barb Schaller 11-4-2009
Serving Size: 24
1/2 cup butter 1 cup sugar (3/4 cup) 1 egg 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 2 cups flour 1 cup thick applesauce 1 cup raisins 1/2 cup chopped nuts
Cream butter and sugar until light, add egg and beat well. Sift dry ingredients together and add alternately with applesauce, beating well after each addition. Stir in raisins and nuts and spread in a greased 10x15² jelly roll pan.
Bake at 375° for 25 minutes. Cut while warm. Frost with powdered sugar icing, using coffee as liquid.
PERFECT! People might sneer at the idea but the things sure disappear in a hurry! Be sure to use fresh marshmallows. :-) -- -Barb, Mother Superior, HOSSSPoJ http://web.me.com/barbschaller - Who Said Chickens Have Fingers? 10-30-2009

I adore applesauce cake, so these seem like winner to me!

Parties??? What are you talking about? These are bloggers in the bay area that have written about them.
These are pastry shops that have them. I will find out which ones these are..and we can go there. I know Miette is one, if I remember..it is in the Ferry Plaza.

Bakeries? I don't go to bakeries. Most of them are too sweet. I buy from a Russian bakery occasionally only because it's next door to a pizza shop I frequent and their goods are decidedly not sweet.

Well..if you want the filled macarons, you either have to get them there, or learn to make them yourself.
Not all bakeries are the same. To avoid them all is missing out on some really good ones. And there are some fantastic ones, from what I have been reading.
But suit yourself. I probably will go visit them. ;)

Packing company comes November 19th...in a way I can't wait, but I'm sad in a way...I won't really be doing any holiday cooking this year, and usually I look forward all year to that (unless I want to try to cook thanksgiving dinner in foil disposable containers.

Do that! Holiday rituals mean a lot to the little ones. They don't know it now, but someday they'll be telling you about how much fun it was and how much they appreciate what you did. My son is trying to recreate everything about his childhood for his son. I find that a touching tribute.

i find it pretty goofy, no matter how idyllic your son's childhood was.

I am new here....but how about mini tarts or cheesecakes. They are so easy to make when you use the little frozen pastry shells and depends on the kind not much mess either

I don't see it as goofy. I think it's pretty damned commendable for a single dad with sole custody.

You can shape the Rice Krispie treats into balls and insert a popsicle stick. Then you can drizzle over some chocolate, sprinkles, etc. You could press the ball around the candy end of a lollipop.

We may be going to a friend's house...she's never cooked for thanksgiving before so we may share duty. She says doesn't know how to cook a turkey, and I make a magnificent one, if I do say so myself, but don't know if I should offer to help or let her do it on her own to gain self confidence....

Awww! I think that's great! You must have done a good job making memories with him.

Why? Maybe he has wonderful memories and wants his son to have the same. What's wrong with that?
