Sorry this didn't work very well for me. The flavor was perfect, but I ended up with a paste. I ended up adding some water and making liquid creamer. I hadn't read all of the reviews and now know to put the extracts in SLOWLY while using a blender or mini-processor, but I think this should have been part of the instructions. Made for Winter 2010 Comfort Cafe game. -
Wow. I made one serving to see how it would work out using splenda and fat free french vanilla coffee-mate and its great! This will definitely be one of the recipe presents I hand out this coming holiday! I didn't add the vanilla extract because of the vanilla creamer I used and I added the almond extract strait to my cup. -
Made for the Comfort Cafe Event. I sl o o o o wly added the extracts and this turned out very well...I don't think it will last long though!LOL Very nice flavour. -
The flavor was pretty good but I had trouble with the mix getting *really* hard once I had packaged it. I had to open all the bags and run the mix through the blender again and then sift out the hard chunks before repackaging. I would suggest only adding 1/2 tsp of extract at a time and mixing well (I use a mini food chooper) before adding more. The high moisture content was the only thing I could think of that would make it turn into solid bricks the way it did. Good flavor though! -
I don't use powdered creamers very often, but this was yummy. Used the blender to mix it up and would suggest adding the extracts in small bits to combine thoroughly. I was suprised how much Irish cream flavor it actually had. Thanks, Aroostook!

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all.
Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol
For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
