I have 7 canisters and right now there are (don't judge me here LOL) noodles, brown sugar, regular sugar, and ice tea mix in 4 of them. I have a white powder in the other 3 and I have no idea what the white powder is. Is there anything simple I can cook to know what I have where? I don't think I...

It's been such a drama filled two weeks that I decided to just take the easy route for a bit. So what I have to eat is just stuff that I can throw into the oven or microwave and heat up. I went to the store today and got some deli stuff - orange chicken and soft noodles for lunch tomorrow, plus...

I had the rest of my hamburger helper and then I decided to try something new. I still had some English muffins (it was buy one, get one free), so I cut one in half, put a half slice of cheddar cheese on each half, then spread some crush garlic across the top. After that, they went into the over...

This is more of a vent than a how-do-I but this afternoon I took out a frozen beef roast to thaw. I wanted to cut it up in pieces and put it in the slow cooker tomorrow morning. Newsflash: it's going to be only 19° tonight and not much above freezing tomorrow. I turn my heaters off at night, so...

Why? Just why? For those who missed the first part of this, I did my monthly shopping and STUFFED the freezer. I had two pork loins that were on sale so in trying to fit everything else into the freezer, I stuck the two pork loins (1.5lbs each) into the shelf on the freezer door. This shelf...

I have 2 lbs of hamburger, 4 chicken breasts, 12 drumsticks, 2 pork chops, 2 1.5lb pork loins, 8 hot pockets, 3lbs of bacon, a 32oz bag of diced potatoes, a bag of blueberries, a bag of ravioli, a couple steaks for steak and potato bites and oyster sauce beef, a bag of mini corn dogs, a rack of...

I'm just going in circles. First, I never got to the store again today (long story). So I thawed the hamburger and decided to have a couple of patties. Then I realized I was out of cat food again. So yay for the cat. At 6pm I decided to go to Safeway, pick up some cat food and hamburger buns...

I just started another new recipe. For me, that is. Believe it or not, I've never made a pot roast. I do like eating pot roast, so when I found a decent recipe I decided to go for it. First of all, let me say that if I'm not here in the future, you can find me in federal prison for robbing a...

First, I'm not sure if slow cookers belong here. Second, I can't remember if I asked this question already but if I did, I forgot the answer. Yeah, old age, don't go there. LOL Anyway, I got a new crock pot - a 4 quart this time. My last crock pot had a vent hole in the cover and this one...

Now I've never baked potatoes in foil before, so maybe I did something wrong. I found a recipe for Potatoes Romanov which involves wrapping the potatoes in foil and then poking them with a knife or fork so they don't explode in the oven (normally I just poke the potato with a fork and bake it...

I saw a picture of a tented looking pancake with fruit stuffed under it and it was called a puff pancake. But there was no recipe listed with it and all I got online when I searched for it is puff pastry. And no one is calling that puff pastry a pancake. The only pictures I see for odd looking...

I hope y'all have good meals planned. I'm afeared for mine. I just put dinner in the crock pot. A while back, I found a recipe for Camp Potatoes au Gratin and it was fairly simple. Add sliced potatoes, heavy whipping cream, cheese, garlic, and salt to a crock pot and let 'em cook on low for...

I found a recipe for a great tasting dessert: One bowl of Cool Whip One small container of sorbet. I usually use Haagen Dazs sorbets. You can use strawberry, lemon, whatever. I really like the peach. So you soften both the sorbet and the Cool Whip. Beat half the Cool Whip together with the...

I haven't had any problem with this so far, but I became curious. I'm not sure how you all cook your ground hamburger. When I want to get it all cooked for something like, say, taco meat or Hamburger Helper, I usually stick a pound in a pan and use a wooden whatsit to break it apart and turn...

Chef John has a recipe for blue cheese dressing and someone asked him how long it would last in the fridge. He said about a week or so. So here's where I'm a little confused. The recipe uses buttermilk, sour cream, mayonnaise, and blue cheese crumbles. These are the things I guess would go bad...

Since my oven doesn't work in my trailer, I've been looking for a substitute. I got an air fryer and you should have seen my face when that arrived. My first question was how in the world was I going to fit a casserole dish in that. So I sprang for the Luby toaster oven. It was about $150 and I...

I was at QFC the other day and they had Kerrygold butter on sale for $3.49/ half lb. Since regular butter is $5.99 and I needed butter like a week ago, I figured so what's an extra dollar? Anyway, I also bought a quarter pound of Kerrygold garlic and herb butter for $2.50 which I'd never seen...

I'm going to try something new for tomorrow night. I want to make a casserole with chicken and pasta noodles with bacon in Alfredo sauce baked in the oven. And I have a couple of questions. A lot of them, actually. Here's how I was going to cook it: Cut up the chicken breasts and put the raw...

I was a little disappointed. I've been watching the two shows in the title and I thought they had some really good recipes. And they always say their recipes are available on the websites. Well, not really. I checked out the websites and to see any recipe, it first seems as though all I had to...

I was watching America's Test Kitchen the other day and they were talking about a bread made in Brooklyn that had salami, prosciutto, and I think Gouda cheese baked into it. I can't remember the name of it. I thought I might be able to make something similar with ham and cheddar. As in folding...

I love restaurant style refried beans. It sounds crazy because they're almost tasteless, but I love 'em anyway. The problem is, the restaurants are charging $5 a serving and that was last fall. Who knows what they cost now. So I've been making my own, trying various recipes and not having any...

Wow! Things have been happening. Hopefully the next time I post I'll be on my own computer. I am now moved over to the other lot. About three weeks ago I found a 36ft 5th wheel to live in and that's on the lot now. I had hoped to be moved in already, with the propane for the stove and oven...

Don't we have a "Recipes" thread stickied somewhere? I can't seem to find one and I think this might be the wrong place for a recipe. Anyway, I've been eating these things I call Tasty Toasted Tomato Tortillas. I take a large flour tortilla and lay it out flat on non-stick foil, covering it...

How is everyone?!? There's been a lot going on. After I bought my lot, the contractor bought the other 4 lots and went to develop them. He proposed swapping one of those lots for mine and as an added bonus for me doing this, agreed to carry the cost of septic and electric with no interest for...

I finally got a phone that will connect to WiFi and boy, is it a learning curve for me. I can't find my last thread so I'm starting a new one. I may be doing a lot swap soon and the contractor is now putting in water, electric, and septic on the new lot. I won't have to pay him for water and a...
