Anyone know of an online store with a good selection of divided dishes for leftovers? I can't find any locally, and the few online stores I've used in the past have next to nothing in divided dishes.

Friend of mine is participating in a Chili cook-off, and I want to help out by providing a interesting side-item to go with the chili. This isn't any sort of special contest, simply a in-house contest with some folks across the military base I work at. However the idea of going with ye ol...

I suppose this can apply anywhere, but I'm specifically looking up some recipes for Chicken Gordon Blue, and I've found several similar recipes that usually differ only in spice choices and bonding agent. I can understand the spice choice difference, but the bonding part is confusing to me...

I've got a reciepe I'm trying out that requires 3 tablespoots of Cognac. The process calls for heating oil in a pan and heating 1/2 cup of red onion until translucent. Then put in three tablespoons of Cognac and reduce for 2 minutes. Is there any way to substituate and alternative in there...

For some reason the group I work with is always bringing in desserts (usually at least one item every couple of weeks) of some kind or another. Usually its either cookies or donuts someone saw at a store while shopping or the occasional "my wife made it" entry comes along. I'm hoping to find...

Recently I've been looking at buying bulk meat packages since I've got a friend in a butcher shop who can get me a good deal. However, I've got no idea how to go about cutting it up into individual servings. On top of that some meat has extra prep-work that needs to put into it even buying...

I used to visit a local Teriyaki joint quite frequently before they closed down. Aside from great Tonkatsu, they also had a delicious salad dressing I've never been able to duplicate (or find something similiar), so I'm hoping what short description I can provide might allow someone to offer up...

I'm attemping to learn how to make a decent meal that involves something more complicated than hamburger and helper (I'm single and actually had the idea of doing some compare and contrast of savings in making my own food, and it was pretty extreme:). To that end, I figured the best bet was to...
