Aunt Bea - I will definitely check those recipes out. Thanks! Dawgluver - I like how you described my mishap. Definitely broken. So if I take care to watch the pot more, it should be fine next time around? Addie - I actually never thought of that, thanks!

I have found I am not a fan of jarred alfredo sauces. There's an aftertaste in most that I've tried that just puts me off, and I can't describe it. If I find myself reaching for a jarred alfredo for a specific recipe/time, I almost always spruce it up - mostly with whatever herbs I feel go with...

I wanted to make a quick hot fudge/chocolate syrup for my ice cream, and I think I did something wrong. Whether it was the cooking method or ingredients, what should I change for next time? I used equal parts hot milk, packed brown sugar, and cocoa powder. When a teaspoon of cornstarch wasn't...

I've been asked to make cupcakes for a birthday party, for which I am seeking advice and ideas. Theme; vintage Barbie for a woman who collects dolls. Requests; Hot pink frosting if possible Vintage Barbie designs No fondant. For flavors I was thinking vanilla cake with strawberry frosting...

My boyfriend's birthday is coming up and I wanted to do something special. I've had the idea to make heart shaped chocolate chip cookies for a while, but could never find any sufficient information online. However, I did manage to find a suggestion of refrigerating the dough prior to baking...

I want to cook potato chips, and found Alton Brown's recipe on foodnetwork.com. I watched the video because I've never done this type of cooking before, and there were certain things that confused me. I have a question for those of you who have made homemade chips or the like. Do I need a dutch...

I heard of Bechamel, but not of Veloute. The Veloute recipe/terming is new to me.... At least I thought it was a good substitute. Although, the only stock I had available was chicken flavored, so I wasn't sure how sausage and chicken would go together, but it did work out. Although, one was a...

A long time ago my grandma used to make me an after-school dinner of chicken, peas and corn in a white roux. Tonight for dinner I wanted to make the same thing, but with sausage instead of chicken. Come to find out that I have no milk, and since I'm starving I didn't want to wait to go all the...

Pumpkin spice sounds a bit blah, I agree LadyCook, it doesn't allow you to get too creative, to have all the spices readily available in one shaker. I guess some people find it useful, but I would use them separately, like you. marigene - I was thinking of doing something similar to your maple...

It also called for ground ginger and ground cinnamon. These are the only two spices I have. Unfortunately I haven't been able to build up my spice-shelf with much yet. Would posting all of the ingredients required help at all?

I recently went to the store to get ingredients for a pumpkin pie recipe I got from school. The store didn't seem to have one of the spices the recipe called for, which was ground cloves. I was wondering if having this spice makes or breaks a basic pumpkin pie... I don't have a way to get back...
