My outside / second refrig may be planning on leaving me.:cry::cry::cry: I went out this morning and the freezer was dripping with condensation! I rearranged stuff and put the more important things in my kitchen frig (which is now stuffed to the gills but I made sure the vents in the back...

I bought a pressure cooker as a house warming gift for a friend and I'm putting together a little recipe collection to get her started. I know she gets a cookbook with her pot but I wanted to add my own. I'm wondering if anyone would like to contribute a PC recipe that your family enjoys...

I bought some beef shanks at Wholefoods today. I've never even seen beef shanks in the normal grocery stores so I'm excited to try something new. I have a Osso Bucco recipe and a Red Wine Braised recipe that sound good. Both pressure cooker options which rock my world. I'm wondering if...

Not the best picture in the world. The pasta is still warm and will absorb some more of the mayo. It still looks a bit soupy. Tuna-Mac Salad 1 medium potato, cubed - I use yukon gold so I don't have to peel 1 lb. box of elbow macaroni 1 6 to 7 oz. can of tuna, drained, I like the kind...

Does anyone have a recipe for a smaller sized cheesecake pan, approx 6 inches in diameter? A full size cheesecake would be overkill for us so I bought a small sized pan but haven't really found an appropriate recipe for that size. I've thought of halving a regular sized one but I have the...

Two unusual events happened to me this week. I got to watch the "blood moon" eclipse on Monday night. Very cool. And then my MIL goes and does something really nice. Apparently she was culling her bookshelf and came across a cookbook given to her by a friend from way back in her school...

My daughter is currently visiting your fair city and has nothing but praise for it. She's having a wonderful time doing the tourist thing with two of her girlfriends. She says Boston is so clean and the people have been very nice and welcoming. I'm always happy to see her traveling and...

My goodness, I never get to start a dinner thread! You all are usually up and running before me. I'm going to jump on the opportunity. I'm making homemade rye bread today so I wanted to make grilled pastrami sandwiches (or corned beef depending on what the deli has.) I looked under the soup...

This is what it looks like after sitting out all night. It is only slightly puffy and I do see a little bit of bubbles up against the bowl but shouldn't it be more risen? Maybe my yeast was not good.:sad: Is there anything I can do to save it?

This is result of the idea about the "Melt In Your Mouth Pork Loan" that got me thinking about a chicken version and MAN! This came out good! I know somewhere out there someone has done this or something similar so I'm not claiming it. It just makes sense. Baked Melt In Your Mouth Chicken I...

I might not be putting this in the right place so feel free to move if there is a more appropriate spot. Does anyone here ever freeze sliced deli meat and cheese? I'd like to buy the larger packages of your basic deli items from Costco and divide them up and freeze them. Or will freezing ruin...

This is a recipe from a local restaurant that closed down many years ago. They were famous for their banana pie. I've been looking for and I finally found it and thought I would share. It is a two crust, non-cream or custard banana pie. If possible try and use apple banana's. If not...

I am over the moon. After only ever having one small refrig (for a family of four) for all these years I now have a second. A rental house that my company manages is being demolished and it had a refrig in it that need a new home and it's now out in my car port. Yeehaw! Now I can shop the...

Giving proper credit, I found this recipe in my local newspaper. I hope the copywrite police aren't on their way to me house. CATAPLANA 1 pound chard or kale
 1 onion, sliced thin
 Salt and pepper
 3 Yukon gold or red potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices 
 12 ounces Portuguese...

This is nothing new and many variations exist for this but I'd share our recipe. Souper Easy Pork Chop and Rice Bake 4 bone-in pork chops 1 1/2 cups long grain rice (uncooked) 1 can cream of mushroom soup (or whatever kind you like.) 1 can beef or chicken broth 1 envelope Lipton onion soup...

I took the plunge and bought the Temptations bakeware today. (Thats what happens when you watch tv at 3am.) I fell in love with the old world green set. It reminded me of bakeware of a very similar color that I watched my grandfather cook with when I was little. I've read mixed reviews so...

This is a family favorite and I hope I'm not duplicating a previous entry. This is a very unassuming looking cake but it packs a wallop of taste. NEVER TRY AND FROST THIS CAKE! It's a very soft cake and frosting would just ruin it. Please enjoy! Butter Pound Cake 1 box Duncan Hines Butter...

My Christmas present to myself this year is going to be a pressure cooker. I've never had one, never used one so I'm a little bit nervous. I think a stainless one is the way to go but I'm wondering if anyone has any advice or tips for me. Also, can a pressure cooker be used for both meal...

I'm playing with an idea and I would love any input anyone may have. I love stuffed cabbage but I'm too lazy to do it the proper way. :rolleyes: I am thinking about an unstuffed cabbage roll recipe for CP. Here's what I'm thinking layer CP with some chopped, raw cabbage, next layer sliced...

Hello there fellow foodies! I'm very excited to be here and look forward to sharing your culinary tips, trick and adventures. I've followed PrincessFiona60 over from another site. Snuck right in behind her when she wasn't looking. I live in Hawaii and have access to some of the most...
