If Santa or some other very special person gave you a neatsy-nifty kid oven, you’re probably already in the market for more recipes.
And we have some to share, thanks once again to faithful Forum helper-outer Clifton Leatherwood. Although he doesn’t use what he calls "easy, squeezy, queasy bake recipes," he devoted an awesome and amazing amount of time researching them for those who might.
Today we’ll sample the following baked goods, apparently archived at www.cdkitchen.com.
