    Substituting panko breadcrumbs for dry breadcrumbs in a burger

    Ooh, thanks for the tip spork. I'm no chef or anything -- will I know when the consistency is right? A lot of the reviews for that recipe say the burgers fell apart on the grill so I was just going to add a whole egg in there. I'll start with maybe a quarter or an eigth of an egg instead and...

    Substituting panko breadcrumbs for dry breadcrumbs in a burger

    Ahh thanks for the info. I got lucky by looking deeper into my pantry and finding regular breadcrumbs. I'll forego the panko this time around =]. As for the burger recipe...I think I'm going to add an egg in there to make sure they don't fall apart. Sure, it pretty much becomes a meatloaf at...

    What's on your plate 9/2/10?

    Tonight's one of those simple nights. I'll just saute up some chicken tenderloins (marinaded in salt, pepper, olive oil and lime juice), and eat them in a wrap with cheese and veggies.

    Substituting panko breadcrumbs for dry breadcrumbs in a burger

    I'm planning on trying these sour cream burgers for a bbq this weekend: Sour Cream Burgers Recipe - Allrecipes.com Can I use panko breadcrumbs instead of the dry breadcrumbs listed in the recipe? If so, what would be my ratio of dry breadcrumbs to panko for the substitution? Also, has anyone...

    Substituting Jalapenos for Green Chilies?

    I ended up using about 1.5 times the jalapenos (seeds and all) as I would green chilies and it turned out great. Jalapenos have their own unique taste as well, so that worked nicely in the chicken curry. Nice chart, I like how they have both sauces and peppers on there to compare. Thanks for...

    Substituting Jalapenos for Green Chilies?

    Went to my local indo pak grocery store and much to my dismay, there were no green chilies left. I do have a great jalapeno plant out on the patio, though. I'm not familiar with the exact heat levels of the two peppers -- are they similar? If so, what's the ratio of jalapenos to green chilies...

    Yogurt Marinades

    Thanks for all the input on the yogurt marinades. I couldn't wait -- I ended up making the chicken today =]. It turned out really flavorful. I made a few small changes based on what was available and how much I wanted to cook: -I used about 10 chicken thighs -I used a 7 oz tub of greek yogurt...

    What's for dinner Sunday July 11?

    Homemade pizzas -- just finished kneading the dough for a good bit and it's rising as we speak =] This was last night's dinner for myself and a few friends. So good. Had it with some simple roasted potatoes.

    Yogurt Marinades

    The recipe looks great -- I'll up the spice levels as you said, since I think I could enjoy almost any level of chili powder, cumin and coriander in a dish. I'll also add a bit of ginger to the garlic-chili paste. Looking forward to using whole milk yogurt as well. I'll try it in the next week...

    Yogurt Marinades

    Thanks Andy -- appreciate the response. Would you be able share your tandoori chicken recipe? I'd love to try it. Also, do you recommend using full fat plain yogurt, fat free (I buy fat free normally), or maybe greek yogurt that has a lot of the liquid taken out? Maybe my fat free yogurt is...

    Yogurt Marinades

    When marinading with yogurt (like in a chicken tikka/tandoori chicken), do you guys wipe off the yogurt marinade before grilling it? Everytime I've done a yogurt marinade, I've had less than stellar results. My best results are always with an oil/citrus juice based marinade or a water based...

    How do you snack healthy?

    My fridge always has some combination of raw vegetables: broccoli florets, a bag of baby spinach, sliced red cabbage, bell pepper slices and celery. I keep them in zip-loc bags. Everytime I open the fridge, I take a handful of one or two vegetables and just stuff it in my mouth. It's horrible...

    Mystery Ingredient - Powdered Cream Cheese?!?

    Haha yeah, I know the recipe looks like an epic fail. It just might be. I have what I consider to be a really tasty no-bake cheesecake recipe but I guess I was looking for something I could do very fast and for cheaper. I love graham cracker crusts and berry toppings and coconut milk so I...

    Mystery Ingredient - Powdered Cream Cheese?!?

    Has anyone here ever heard of powdered cream cheese? If it exists, surely someone on this board has heard of it. I was watching this video on YouTube and this lady made a simple "cheesecake" using graham crackers/butter for the crust and simply coconut milk and "powdered cream cheese" for the...

    Looking for a decent deep frying pot

    I usually deep fry in this horrible electric wok that barely gets the oil to 350 degrees. When you finally put the product into the oil it has a hard time even keeping at 300 degrees. Today, I decided to change it up and deep fry in my iron cast skillet. Needless to say, it was the most amazing...
