This is a very short question...What type of basil do you buy to plant? I looked at some today that was a boxwood basil and there was another that was sweet basil. I didn't know which kind to get. I have never made any pesto and really haven't used any basil except for the dry kind in the...

I bought a Sunpentown turbo oven yesterday at a discount place at a very good price.I don't know if the light is suppose to come on when its cooking, because this one doesn't. I don't know anything about these ovens except what I can find on the internet or youtube. But with all the videos a...

Not sure where to post this. I wanted to know if anyone knows a good place to go and put your recipe in and it calculate the calories and nutritional values. I would like the easiest way of doing that. I tried Spark people but was a little complicated.:smile:

I bought a probably 15 inch pizza stone and when I got home it is too big for my Hamilton beach countertop oven. I needed a 12inch . I bought it at a consignment store. I was thrilled, because I've wanted one for a long time. Can these type stone be cut down? My husband is very handy for doing...

I have several questions about making bread in the abm. I have read to add 2 t. vinegar in with the dough. Do I add this in the water measurement? Someone said they put the fresh loaf in plastic as soon as it is baked. Do you slice as soon as it gets cool to put in bag? When I set it on a...

I have almost a whole box of cherrios and nobody is eating them. I wondered if I could use them in the place of whole grain cereal to make cookies? I hate to waste them, but hate to ruin the recipe for my cookies. When I make them I use the food processor to grind up the other cereal, so I...

I am really trying to eat more healthy, so I am leaving red meats off. I have made some turkey sausage and now I have another pack of ground turkey that I want to make something with. Do I need to flavor it different than beef? Will it taste a lot different from beef? How about chili?

I just wondered if many people eat turkey sausage. I am trying to eat healthy and especially for cholestrol and blood sugar. I found a recipe for the sausage and want to try it. I have never eat that much ground turkey, always liked the white meat when we bake a turkey. I love pork sausage, but...

Would someone please tell me if light vanilla soymilk is good for you or not. I've heard both ways. I have a recipe book that calls for using this in several recipes, so I bought some and like to use it in my oatmeal. Also I heard if you have thyroid problems (I take meds for it) not to use it...

I wondered how anyone else is putting squash up in the freezer. The only way we like to eat it is fried. My SIL told me she blanches in hot oil. I had never heard of this, but I tried it and I think I cooked it too long. Also I tried using the method of freezing okra, batter it and fry until...

I have a half pack of rolls left. We probably won't eat. Just wondered if they would make good croutons. They have a sweet taste , so didn't know if it would work or not. I have not made croutons, but don't you just dice them up,put olive oil over and sprinkle things like italian seasonings...

I am in the market for a new toaster oven. I have had the same one for about 20 yrs and it still works, but its not really big enough to use a lot of my bowls and pans.Also, it doesn't cook very fast. I would really like a convection toaster oven. Any suggestions for the type you all might like...

I went to a yard sale today and bought an oval stoneware bowl for a $1. The lady said she had the lid but it was broke ,would I want it. I said I did and when glued back it would look almost like new. The problem is what type of glue should I use to keep it safe to cook in. This says Romertopf...

This is probably the first time anyone has ask this question on here. My husband has chickens and now we are getting a few eggs. Do I wash these eggs before putting in the fridge or wait until I use them. It seems like I have read not to wash before putting in the fridge. Anyone live on a farm...

I have just bought a new dehydrator. I wish I had bought it at the start of the summer when there were more foods to use. I have been drying apples and would love to find someone with peaches they want to share, but don't really expect that. The only thing we have left in the garden is okra. Has...

I agree, I really don't know why I posted that now that I think about it. We have always blanched in the big pot of water and had good luck from it. I hope we make a lot of corn since we have used up all we had in the freezer.At least putting it up on the cob is a lot easier than the cream...

My daughter gave me almost a gal. of 2 percent milk. It is going to ruin before I can use it. I was reading on another site that you could use sour milk in pancakes. I could probably use in cornbread. It's just that I have never thought about using milk after it has expired and not able to drink...

Sometimes things just get covered up in our chest freezer and that is what happened with some chicken vacuum sealed in 2006. I know it has been frozen all this time so do you think it would be safe? I keep looking at it and wondering. I don't want to make us sick. These foodsavers do a wonderful...
