.. I will be trying them this weekend. Bacon Wrapped Stuffed BBQ Jalapenos! I love Instructables... Here's another I need to try - Bacon Sauce

What do you got? LiaG gave up her chocolate cake recipe, I know some of yous have some delicious how-to's to offer up. I do the cooking around my house, but I was raised Italian and that is what I do most & best. Im trying to broaden my spectrum if you will, and Ive takin a liking to Southern cookin. So give 'em up y'all...

I couldn't see either of those links.

Did you try that cake yet?

These are the best oatmeal cookies ever

Million Dollar Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

· 1 cup packed brown sugar

· 1 cup white sugar

· 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

· 2 teaspoons baking soda

· 2 cups rolled oats

· 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine eggs, vanilla and raisins in a small bowl; cover and let stand for 1 hour, this is important so don't skip this step.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

3. In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together. Sift together the flour, cinnamon, and baking soda; stir into the creamed mixture. Then stir in the raisin mixture, rolled oats, and nuts.

4. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
