    Do you still have the recipes for:

    Curried lentils
    Sweet and sour lentils
    Shanghai noodles
    Dominican rice and beans

    Dutch babies
    No brakes
    Texas Sheetcake

    If you’re who I think you are, you made these hundreds of times. I’ve never been able to find the recipes… or the More with Less cookbook.

      Some of those recipes might be on the website and some in the cookbooks. I learned how to cook many things with the More with Less cookbook – looks like you can get it used on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/More-Less-Cookbook-twenty-fifth-anniversary/dp/B00CAYMDKY/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=more+with+less+cookbook&link_code=qs&qid=1557165840&s=gateway&sr=8-5
