Thank you for your quick responses. I'm back from the store with HEAVY CREAM! (I checked with my co-ops deli on the cream vs milk - they agreed it would be thicker and more delicious with cream). Also got some organic raspberries (yay, on sale even!), and if I have time, I'll figure out some...

Hello all, I'm a bit exhausted, as it's the day before my son's 5th and my double birthday party. I was going a bit nuts with the desserts, but I'm sad to say they both are moderate at best compared to my past cakes. Part of my problem stems from converting a recipe from chocolate cake to...

Thanks everyone! Sorry for the delayed response, but my 4 yr old developed Strep Throat right after this so I haven't had much free time. The good news is that I made the cupcakes the evening I posted, and they were AMAZING. Light, fluffy, moist, rich - NUM! :yum: Also, since I waited til the...

Hi there! I ran out of treats today and decided to figure out what I could make tonight using what I have before I go to the store tomorrow. Amazingly, I can apparently make chocolate cupcakes (gluten-free), but I'm trying to find the right frosting recipe. I don't want to use up my baking...

Oh my goodness, I'm so frustrated! :unhappy: A few days ago, I found a recipe for a lentil soup that called for garam masala, but I didn't have any on hand and I was looking for something quick then so I put it off. Now I have had some time and wanted to make it, but I made the garam masala...

Hi there! I'm well-versed enough in making chili, but I actually grew my own tomatoes this year, and I'm debating the best technique for adding them. I'm still using one 28 oz. can of Eden Organic Crushed Tomatoes for the bulk of it, but I have a little more than a pint of black plum romas and...

We're starving here - Any ideas??? THANK YOU! Thanks, but I'm hoping for a recipe that doesn't require so much substitution. I don't think ground pork is going to hold up to braising in water, and I'm betting there's a lot of flavor in that. Plus, not a fan of chili sans tomato. But I'll put it...

Oh, and I forgot to list the 2 bags of Frozen cubed Butternut Squash. Feel free to post ideas still - this will just be a meal for tomorrow instead! THANK YOU!!!

I should add, I also have onions, garlic and shallots on hand. And eggs. Anyone???

OK everyone, I forgot to soak beans yesterday and now I'm behind on a meal, can you help us out??? :ohmy: I have a quite a few things, but not enough to match any recipes I have, especially because I have NO tomatoes, except a tiny amt of sun-dried ones. Here are ingredients that have no...

Thanks! Here's how I cooked it... So, I was in a hurry to cook this, so I did it before I saw any responses. Here's what I did: I brined it using a scaled-down version of Alton Brown's brine (salt, brown sugar, some peppercorns and a few allspice berries) - heated in water, then mixed with...

Keep it in a glass jar in your cupboard! You know I have a wide-mouth glass container about 2 qts in size that I keep my bulk brown sugar in, and I keep this awesome beautiful rainbow wooden scoop I was lucky enough to find on sale at an independent kitchen store here. I keep it in the dark...

OK, sorry for the simple question, but I don't usually cook meat that's been cut already - I'm used to whole poultry. So, I have a recipe that is supposed to be using up leftover turkey meat, but I had to buy a boneless/skinless turkey breast for it instead. Can you guys recommend the best...

Drum roll please... Well, looks like I had to wing this one on my own. :chef: I needed to head back to the store for some fresh cream for this, so while I was there I discussed my problem with their professional pie maker. She didn't know the full answer, but said that in her experience, that I...

:ohmy::ohmy:Oh goodness, I didn't realize how much different this recipe would be using a gelatin substitute - can anyone help me??? :ohmy::ohmy: Ideally, you're a meringue expert, possibly a chemist, to help me I'd say. The recipe I'm converting is from here: French Silk Pie Recipe ...
