I saw that, but that's such a small amount for the large amount of chopped peaches. I just don't see how you can coat that many. You think it's okay then? Thanks to everyone!

Hi all. This is my first go at canning and I have a quick question. I'm using this recipe and I have a dwarf peach tree, so my peaches are small but very juicy and delicious. The problem with them being small is that it takes a long time to get them all skinned and cut up. I have twice (may even...

HI all! I didn't think this would be a tall order, but I cannot find exactly what I'm looking for. I'm headed to Socal next week to visit my husband. You see he works out there - lives in Navy barracks, though Navy retired - and we only get to see each other and spend time together twice a...

I have an excellent slow cooker Tuscan Chicken Stew recipe that I love. However the economy being what it is, and my local market also being what it is, I need to make a change. Traditionally cannellini beans are used, but I'm tired of the cost of those type of beans as well as my market being...

I've done a Google search and I am seeing different answers. While all agree on what it actually is, that being "the upper layer of milk in a container enriched by whatever cream has risen" and that it occurs in non-pasteurized milk. What everyone disagrees on is today's equivalent. The...

I would agree that at times some recipes are not that definite, but this one is definite. The rest of the ingredients are all very definite and the measurement is given for the rice, just not in a normal fashion. What I was saying was that I've never heard of cooked rice being given in a...

Thanks be to the both of you! Many thanks. I'm writing this all down for future reference too. :) The one thing that gets me about that recipe is who the heck measures cooked rice by weight? That's very odd. I can see pre-cooked weight, but post-cooked? Very strange. Oh well, just another...

Okay, I love this video. The problem is I have no idea how much 350 grams or 14 oz. or cooked rice is. I mean, I get that 8 oz = one cup, IF we're talking volume but this sounds like a weight to me. Should I just go with two cups of rice? It kind of looks about 2 cups-ish.

I make my own spice mixes (old bay, taco seasoning, instant onion soup mix, blackening, barbecue spice rub, etc.) and always eliminate the salt from the recipe. It usually doesn't make much difference when it's measured out. I don't have any recipes to share because I use any and all recipes...

I'm having such trouble! I managed to get some acorn squash on sale at a local farmer's market and I have such picky eaters in this house that it's quickly turning into a nightmare. I thought this would be a nice change, until they hated the baked acorn squash I made the other day with brown...

Oops, I forgot to mention the other cookbook. When I said I have one cookbook I thought I was forgetting something. *insert senior moment here* :lol: I have TWO cookbooks. Family Favorites and To Try. To Try is just that, recipes that sound yummy but I've not used yet. If it's good and the...

Does Living Cookbook import MC cookbooks? I myself bought MC not too long ago because of the price, but I didn't realize it was no longer supported. I've used it so much already that I hate to make any change without knowing if it'll import from other software. That's the whole problem with...

I have a condensed cream soup base recipe that I absolutely adore with the typical standard ingredients of butter, flour and milk. I've used it for baked potato soup, cream of chicken/mushroom, cream of broccoli and so forth. The one thing I cannot figure out though is how to make a condensed...

Perfect! Love the black bean and corn salad idea. You'll never believe this but I have a recipe for that that I absolutely adore. My daughter suggested I fix it last night with the wraps and I said that they probably wouldn't go well together. I guess she was right! I'll have to tell her. Thanks...

I'm stumped and cannot come up with a good side for my Caribbean chicken wraps. Normally I would serve a salad, but I don't like lettuce and usually use spinach instead. Well, the wraps have spinach too because I don't like lettuce! :lol: Oh and by the way, that spinach is just yummyful in the...
