    Thin flank steak

    I found a really thin flank steak in the freezer when I cleaned it out. I would have never bought it except it came in a package of beef cuts I split with my sister when we "bought a cow." I'm not sure what to do with it. It's not very big. Less than a pound and about 1/4" thick. What would you...

    Angelhair pasta?

    I have a recipe for Asian beef noodles that I want to try that calls for ramen style noodles. I have angelhair pasta noodles already. Will that be an okay substitute?

    Split tomatoes

    Yesterday I went to a farmer's market and got 3 really nice ripe tomatoes. I also got a watermelon. During the drive home the watermelon (that I thought I had secured well) rolled into the bag with the tomatoes and all 3 have splits in them. I washed them and have them out on the counter but not...

    Favorite brine recipe

    I usually get out of cooking the turkey for Thanksgiving since we travel to other family homes for the holiday. We're not traveling this year so it is up to me to cook the bird. I've not cooked one in over 30 years and have never done a brine for one before. Reading all the positives of brining...

    Smokeless indoor grill vs. stovetop grill pan

    Since we moved, I no longer have access to a place for an outdoor grill. I miss the flavor of grilled meats and veggies. I've been using my cast iron pans to cook on the stove. I don't have a grill pan. I saw the smokeless electric grills and thought that might be my solution but some of the...

    Irish porridge

    This summer, DH and I took a trip to Ireland. It was exhausting but fun! Our hotels always had a full-on Irish breakfast buffet which was scrumptious. I don't generally like oatmeal but the porridge on these buffets was always so creamy and lovely. Not the "snotty" texture I get when I make...

    Clang! Clang! Dinner bell's ringing - Thurs. May 19

    I've got some drumsticks (the chicken kind) in the oven baking with seasoned salt, pepper and garlic powder roasting. We'll have that with salads. Need to keep it simple tonight. What's on your table?

    Capers, how to use in other dishes?

    I recently had an excellent chicken dish at a restaurant that used capers in the sauce on the chicken. It was the first time I had capers that I knew what they were and could taste them by themselves. I found I really enjoyed the flavor. My conundrum is that I'm not sure how to incorporate...

    Boiled-rice water

    I work with a young woman from Thailand. She was trying to explain her favorite dish her mom makes. She said her mom cooks the rice then adds it to water and boils it for about 2 hours. Of course other things go in like chicken or pork and some cabbage and other veggies I forget. She looked...

    Questions on cooking times

    Pecan Pie Bars for a Crowd Recipe | Taste of Home I made these pecan bars for Thanksgiving and cut the recipe in half. I only have one pan that size. I'm thinking of making the full recipe for Christmas and using a half sheet pan instead of the 2 jelly roll pans. Do you think I'd need to...

    Freezing pepperoni, tips please.

    Every time I buy some sliced pepperoni for pizza, I never use the whole bag. Each time I freeze it and then end up throwing it away when I try to use it again. It turns gray and smells off when I freeze it. Has anyone ever had good luck freezing this?

    Friday Night 9/4 Feast or Famine?

    I just put some chicken breasts in the crock pot with salsa, corn and black beans. That'll cook for several hours then I'll shred the chicken and add cream cheese. I plan on serving that over rice and have salads with avocado, eggs, tomatoes and cheese.

    Someone's in the kitchen with... 8/13 Thurs.

    I have a nice 3 lb salmon fillet to grill using LP's lemon dill recipe. I'll make some orzo and salads to go with it. I bought the dill on Tuesday and it has been making my kitchen smell so nice. I can't wait to use it tonight.

    Freezing Chicken

    I recently bought a 20 lb bag of chicken breasts. I put it in the freezer but the door got left open a crack and now it is one big block. I'm thinking of putting it in a cooler to thaw so I can break it down into meal portions. I'm hoping it won't be a bad thing to refreeze them. Anyone have...

    Timing for grilled veggies and salmon

    I have a 2 lb salmon fillet. I also have some asparagus and yellow squash. I'd like to grill it all but have never done that. How long does each thing need to cook on the grill?

    Guess I'll start off the menus tonight. I'm making chicken and rice. It's in the oven. Seasoned with garlic and will layer some Swiss cheese on top at the last 15 mins. We'll have salads along with the chicken and rice. I have a cantaloupe for dessert.

    ISO-Lentil recipes

    I am new to lentils. All the recipes I find are Indian or Mediterranean flavors. I don't normally have those spices on hand and don't want to spend the money to buy them if DH doesn't like the dish. Does anyone have some recipes that are not curries or stews? I'd like to make some for side...

    Freezing pie

    I made 2 pumpkin and 2 pecan pies for Thanksgiving. We only ate one of each. I'd like to freeze the second pecan pie for Christmas but have never done that before. How would you suggest I wrap it up for freezing? I'm thinking plastic wrap then foil but perhaps you have a better method. Then...

    Saturday Night's all right for eating! 11-8-14

    I made a new recipe. It's called meatball stroganoff but it's really not stroganoff. It's more like meatball sub casserole. It came out good. Spinach salads on the side.

    Cast iron pan on grill

    I want to make some seasoned roasted potatoes for supper tonight. Normally, I crank up the oven to 450°F. Then I cut up the taters and toss with oil and Italian dressing mix. Put them in a stoneware dish and bake for at least an hour. They come out crunchy on the outside. I'd like to...
