The Great Family Cookbook Project<\/a> has surpassed 400,000 public recipes in the system thanks to you! If you need a fun recipe idea that’s not in your own cookbook, go to our home page and use the recipe search function<\/a> to see what’s available – lots of good eats!<\/p>\n Here is a recipe we tried recently for a fun appetizer:<\/p>\n Contributor: Shelley Cummins<\/p>\n Category: Appetizers & Beverages<\/p>\n Wheat Chex Cereal Preheat oven to 350\u00ba<\/p>\n In large, deep oven roaster, melt 1 stick of butter (the butter will melt quickly).<\/p>\n Once the butter is melted, add several tablespoons of Worcestershire and several tablespoons of Cajun or Spicy Seasoning Salt right into the melted butter.<\/p>\n Stir butter mixture to combine seasonings and Worcestershire.<\/p>\n Add in about 1\/2 box of each type of cereal.<\/p>\n Add pretzels, goldfish and peanuts\/cashews.<\/p>\n Stir to coat evenly.<\/p>\n Cook in oven for about :30 minutes, but continue to stir mixture every few minutes so that the coating is evenly distributed.<\/p>\n When coating is very dry on all of the cereal and other ingredients, take out of the oven (about :30 minutes). Line containers with a paper towel, then store party mix in containers or Holiday tins.<\/p>\n Remember – summer reunions are coming before we know it. When you do get together in the coming months, bring a printed recipe or two from your cookbook and hand them out. Let folks know that you plan to print the book in June or July – and get all their email addresses so you can add them to your book. Have fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s 2013 Family Reunion and Summer party time!
