We usually use Saltines.

I used to make those. Actually, my daughter made some a month or so ago and brought them over.

I was out of cinnamon the other but had cinnamon sticks. I used my grinder to make cinnamon. It never got that fine BUT it made the inside of my grinder all pitted and stained.

Are these chewy brownies or cake-like brownies?

We always use Miracle Whip in place of mayonnaise. :faint: :noose: I hate Miracle Whip! I've been making this macaroni salad since 1971 or 2 when I got the recipe from a friend. Everyone loves it! 4 cups cooked elbow macaroni 1/2 cup green onions, chopped 1/3 cup green peppers, chopped 1/2 cup shre...

I had my hair done on Cinco De Mayo. My hairdresser is Hispanic. She asked me what I was going to do to celebrate. I said, "nothing really" I asked her what she was going to do. She says, "Mexicans don't really celebrate it" :lol: So, it's a Mexican celebration that only Americans celebrate! Odd!

I was wondering the other day if I'd ever have good sweet corn again.

Sounds like Shake 'n Bake. Do they still make that stuff? I really like it as a kid!

I'm on a low carb diet and have been making these for my "bread" Coconut Flour Flatbread In a bowl, I mixed the following together: 1 large egg 1 Tbsp coconut flour 1 Tbsp parmesan cheese (optional) 1/8 tsp baking soda 1/8 tsp baking powder 2 pinches of sea salt or any herbs you want!* 2 Tbsp any ki...

Yes, it is good. Get the Tabasco brand pepper jelly. If you are feeling lazy, plop a small block of warmed cream cheese on a plate, cover lavishly with red or green pepper jelly, and you have a excellent spread for ANY cracker. I often prefer saltines, because they don't interfere with the taste of...

Is that good?

I wish we could post pictures here without using Photobucket or some such website.

I used this one from Epicurius.com INGREDIENTS 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 1 garlic clove, minced 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/8 teaspoon ground coriander 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro I'll try yours next time. I added quite a bit of ext...

I had lime cilantro vinaigrette the other day at a restaurant and loved it! I made it for myself last night and it was SOUR! :cry: Good with Latin dishes or Southwest. Can also make a Pesto with Cilantro ...most savory greens. With a lot of Acid [citrus & Vinegar] it's usually good to balance the c...

Not sure what LFRT is/was.

I never found The Pioneer Woman's recipes to be very good.

TT, I have never seen a chili recipe using potato flakes to thicken it so, I can be of no help.

I don't understand that either! What is the point of that? It just seems selfish and mean spirited.

I have a friend who makes my favorite chili....he thickens it with dried potato flakes.....which taste terrible IMO if you make mashed potatoes with them but you can't taste them in the chili. It makes a nice chili gravy. I guess his dad got the recipe from some small restaurant many many years ago....

I'd loved to get that oven - it's still in my Amazon Wish List but I don't know where I'd set it. I hate to clutter up my countertop (even more).

I've made this recipe (or something very similar) before only I used club crackers instead of graham crackers. I don't like graham crackers.

Very good suggestions. I'll get some tubs of mashed potatoes. (I really like those!) Have you used any good stuffing mixes? I've only seen Stove Top Stuffing. Is there anything better you can actually stuff inside a bird? I don't know if you can actually use Stove Top for stuffing the bird. I guess...

Will he actually make stuffing or would it be better to buy the stuffing mix?

Someone was just telling me how good these are:



How about a package of gravy mix?

I made this this weekend. Love this soup! http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g82/tattulip/10420148_10152398610597056_40299207_zps9ff2ecea.jpg Chipotle Chicken and Corn Chowder Yield: 6 to 8 servings Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Total Time: 1 hour A thick and hearty soup full of chicken...

"They" are saying now that the problems with the high-fat diets being bad for our hearts was based on faulty data and not true. (Think global warming). Cutting back on butter, cream and fatty meats may have done more harm to heart health than good. Experts say the belief that high-fat diets are bad ...

I am making homemade croutons. :shock: :drool: :highfive: This reminds me of my good friend. She makes everything from scratch. The first time I saw her make chicken soup I was amazed. Back then I thought chicken soup meant get out the can opener, bowl, pour, heat. She used an actual chicken. I hav...

I have better success when I fry them than when I bake them. Just heat up equal parts of olive oil and butter in a frying pan to cover the bottom of the pan. Toss the bread cubes in a bowl with some olive oil salt pepper and Parmesan cheese (just enough olive oil to help the bread cubes hold the sa...

disaster! That's what it is when I cook and that's why I don't cook. I used to cook for an "army" and it was pretty decent home made meals. :dunno: I'm either out of practice, have a bad attitude or just hate it too much anymore. So Saturday, I had a thousand things to do and didn't get home until ...

Just sayin'

Yeah, if it was just for myself, that's what I would buy. But I was trying to make this salad extra special good. Besides, aren't those croutons hard as a rock!

I solved the problem and ordered one from a local bakery.
