I freeze mine in small plastic tubs, but I like the ice-cube tray idea better! I also freeze leftover roasted bell peppers, as I never seem to need a whole jar of those either! Paint.

Hmmm - I've recently been attracted to buying quite a few hand painted ceramic serving bowls, but I don't have many mixing bowls - I generally use the 2 that came with my stand mixer, plus I have a huge cheap plastic (pink!) bowl that I use for a garbage bowl (Rachael Ray's idea) when I'm...

Hi Callie - I haven't posted for a loooooong time, but I finally graduated from nursing school in May and am taking the Summer off to have fun :) Paint.

I got this book about 6 weeks ago and absolutely LOVE it. Rachael gives you a whole shopping list of things you should keep in stock (and of course, I went out and bought EVERYTHING on the list, even clams, which I know I won't use as DH hates them - but maybe when he's away on business?)...

The cast-iron will be a wonderful investment - it will last several lifetimes, looks absolutely beautiful 'on the table' if you serve family-style and YES it will cook far, far better than your disc-bottom stainless. More tender, more moist, less burning on the bottom, more flavour.... Before...

I too have 2 pressure cookers and 2 crockpots. I prefer using the pressure cooker for chicken dishes and low-fat cuts of meat, as it retains its moistness in a pressure cooker, whereas slow-cooking (especially of skinless, boneless chicken breast meat) tends to dry out the meat a lot. It's...

Chilli tonight - at hubby's request :) Paint

Hi everyone! We arrived back from our 3 weeks of vacation in England at 2am this morning. It was wonderful to be able to see all our relatives again - my little niece has grown so much!! LOL! It's also good to be back in my own kitchen again - I had taken a couple of my favourite recipe...

I did keep all my non-stick cookware though - I prefer non-stick pans for pancakes & eggs, and now I have a good choice between various types of cookware for whatever I'm cooking :) Paint.

:lol::rofl::lol: I guess you are right Ishbel :rofl: Paint.

I love Pecan pie - so that will definately be for dessert this year :) The only type of squash I've ever cooked as a side has been courgettes (green squash) sliced and either roasted or sauteed, so ideas for more squash/pumpkin (I've never cooked pumpkin) would be good. I just thought of...

Since moving over to the USA from England, we have celebrated Thanksgiving every year with a special meal...but our Thanksgiving Dinner has been more like a traditional English Christmas Dinner (Turkey, bread sauce, cranberry sauce, bacon-wrapped sausages, peas, brussel sprouts, carrots...

'paxo' Sage and Onion stuffing (a British tradition). Bread sauce (thick white sauce made from bread, milk, onions, S&P then blended smooth - another British tradition). Small sausages made with pork & sage sausagemeat and wrapped in bacon before baking. Hubby likes mint sauce with turkey...

Just the thread I needed! DH is the wine buff of the family - I'm strictly a cheapo boxed Sangria sort of person (much to DH's disgust - but good wine always gives me a hangover). Anyway, he's in Spain on business at the moment, and won't arrive home until late Wednesday night - so I guess...

:rofl: I am feeling very amused that this got put in the 'Ethnic Foods' section.....sorry, I have a weird sense of humour :mrgreen: Paint.
