Thanks for the suggestions. I have a 14 yr old and a 4 yr old. So my oldest can and does help me cook. But she tends to leave my kitchen a mess. The only soups we normally eat are potato soup and beans. Since potatoes are not really freezing well I guess that might not freeze well either? We...

I cut up and froze some potatoes last week. But when I took them out and baked them they turned black. :( Am I not able to freeze potatoes?

Hi Guys, So I'm a 36 yr old mom of two. I work full time and have my hands full. But, I'm going back to college! First day of class is Monday. Which leaves me to why I'm posting. I fix dinner around 5 every weekday. I need freezable meals I can either put in the crock pot in the mornings, or...

Just depends on what I have. Usually if there is (I suppose you'd call it lunch but I say dinner) left I will eat that. Like yesterday we ate potatoes, chicken liver, and corn muffins. There was a little chicken liver (about a half cup) and a couple corn muffins left. Me and my two yr old shared...

Just search online. Old Time Candy has it.

Well said. I'm not a chef by any stretch of the imagination. But as a mom sometimes I have to cook with what I have, not what I'd like to have. It makes for some interesting combinations. And I know that show has taught me a lot. And yeah you can always tell the ones that will fail by their...

We had potato soup tonight.

They still make them but they are called candy sticks now, and the packaging isn't made to look like cig packs.

My awake hours are a little wonky. I am awake usually around 9. I am not hungry till noon. Then we have dinner around 5 and take a 2hr nap. Then I stay up really late so somewhere between 11pm to 1am I usually want a snack. I go to bed again somewhere around 2 to 4 am.

They say that if you go too long between meals your metabolism slows down. So not eating actually makes your body pack on the pounds more when you do eat. That's why they say to eat regularly and healthy food.

We say **** hit the fan all the time. It means that there's a lot of drama. A seemingly normal day went bad quickly.

I was born in Ohio but spent much of my life in Kentucky, so I have that southern twang going with my accent. Especially if I'm tired or comfortable with the company I'm in. So some things I'll say is... "Y'all git upstairs an go play" (talking to my kids) or "Y'all are soundn like uh herd o...

I love chopped! Food network is one of our favorite channels. It's something the whole family enjoys.

I am. And I find it difficult to eat right. First of all I rarely want to eat breakfast. I'm just not hungry. But I stay up late at night and thats when I want to snack.

I don't know. lol. Because other recipes have had it in there? I didn't realize it needs something acidic to react to it.

Thanks for the recipe. We have some wild blackberries growing out back. I might have to try this when they ripen a bit more. :smile:

Success! Sometimes I just get the urge to do something and can't quit till its right. After that disaster this morning I wanted to do better. So I made pancakes again for lunch. Oh I forgot in my original recipe I added a little vanilla extract. I used all of the vanilla this morning, so I...

No egg and yes tablespoons.

Instead of using instant pancake mix I tried to make my own. 2 cups flour 1tbsp baking soda 1tbsp baking powder Milk until desired consistency (about 1 cup) Cinnamon & Nutmeg to taste. I get a nasty aftertaste when cooked though. Is the soda and power maybe too much? If I don't put it in...

Hm, that does look good. But does it have a strong coffee flavor? We don't drink coffee. Can I just omit or substitute that?

Yikes! No it wouldn't sell for that price here. We're in the poorest county in Ohio. No one can afford it. lol

It was about $5 per jar. It's a mason jar (small one) like you'd buy for canning. Not sure how many oz they hold. Maybe 8 or 10?

If I had my own land and could definitely keep the bees away from my Dh (he is allergic) then I'd love to raise bees for honey myself. It's a life long dream to have a mini farm where I can homestead. :)

Evidently this local farmer came into the store my Dh works at. I was just thinking of buying honey but those small little bear bottles are very pricey so I skipped it. This is a good sized jar, and plus its not that refined crap at the store. :smile:

I just tried a little bit of it on bread. It's wildflower honey. It tastes a bit different than clover honey. Not as sweet. But I did notice that one jar does not have the comb in it. So I'll use that one for the recipe and save the other for snacking or whatever.
