Make sure to pick a firm, not ripe, tomato and then make sure it is very cold when you cut it so it will retain it's shape.

We've started using the crock pot (yay beans). We love fish, but can't figure out how'd we cook it in a crock pot without it being mushy. Do you pre-cook it?

We are new to crock-potting. I've tried them on high for 4+ hours and they're still hard.Other times I've soaked them but that still doesn't work. I've heard that some beans don't work. Is this eve...

BLUEBERRIES 1. Top your whole-grain cereal with fresh or frozen blueberries to add delicious flavor, a dose of fiber, and heart-healthy antioxidants.
2. Power up pancakes, waffles, or muffins with fresh, frozen, or dried blueberries for a nutritious breakfast.
3. Eat them plain or mix with other fruit for a low-calorie, high-fiber tasty fruit salad, dessert, or snack. -
SALMON 1. Salmon is easy to prepare on the grill, in the oven or microwave, or on the stovetop. Save leftovers to toss into pasta dishes, make into salmon cakes, add to salads, or mix into dips or spreads.
2. Smoked salmon comes in two varieties. The raw type is commonly used in appetizers and on bagels with cream cheese and capers. The dry smoked type has more of a cooked appearance. You can enjoy it the same way as the raw style, and add it to cooked dishes such as pasta.
3. Salmon cooks in a matter of minutes and its delicate texture quickly absorbs and showcases the flavor of added ingredients. For example, toss chunks of salmon into a chowder of corn and potatoes, or wrap salmon with herbs and chopped onion and tomatoes in parchment or aluminum foil and grill or bake 12 minutes for a satisfying meal. -
There you go! I broke them out bc there are no paragraphs on here (Grrrrr) and it would be impossible to see.

I ended up eating out at a new burger restaurant in town last night, and they had the option of goat cheese! I'm so used to using some more common cheeses like American or provolone, but this defi...

I love turkey burgers and you can add cranberry jelly and spinach lettuce. Big fan of mushroom swiss or mushroom blue cheese burgers.

When I lived in New York I had a really old gas stove with gas burners. We used to hold the corn with tongs about the open flame and it would turn nice and blackened. I think fire roast is generally just grilling.

We end up with a lot of left-over cornbread when we cook, esp. around new years. Any suggestions on what to do with it? I end up with a freezer full because it's too good to waste.

I use it to make cornbread stuffing. It can be served warm or also cold. I like to make a turkey sandwich, add cranberry spread (or strawberry jelly also gives that sweet kick), add a layer of stuffing and lettuce and onions. SOOO good!

I don't have the time to cook 2 meals for dinner - I need to cook food that my 1 1/2 yr old can eat and thats appealing to the rest of us (7 yr. old, husband & me).
How do you do this?
10 people following-
I read somewhere about "deconstructed dinners" and that is how I cook. Basically, I will make 3 elements and we can mix.
I.e. pot of pasta, pot of veggies (broccoli and carrots), skillet of meat (chicken breast cut in chunks) and a microwave bowl of sauce. The little kids will eat it all separately with just a little butter and salt on the pasta. The adults/teen will all mix it together as a delicious pasta dish with the sauce.
I always make the sauce on the side.Or for Saturday mornings...I make scrambled eggs and I also make mushrooms, spinach, onions with salsa. The little kids just eat the eggs and toast. The adults add on the veggie mixture.
It works pretty well!

I think most of the recipes on here are very easy, granted don't have kids pulling at me.

Microwave Chicken and Dressing. This is easy and tasty.
- package stove top stuffing - chicken breasts - can cream of celery soup.That is all. Make the stuffing per box and spread in bottom of square baking dish. Put chicken on top and cover with soup, ground pepper and wax paper. Microwave for 20 minutes. I made a salad with goat cheese and dry cranberry to complement.
I adapted this from a recipe on here. I can also vouch for the taco soup recipe.
