Has anyone had any experience with The Hungry Heart hypnosis program? I saw an ad in my local paper and looked it up online. It is a franchise, but it's listed as a non-profit (hungryheart.org). It's a pretty expensive program and I wanted to know if anyone else had any experience with it before...

My grocery store has a great olive bar that costs $8.99 a pound. I am addicted to these black Cirignola olives. I used to drain the brine from the olives in the container, but they would dry out after a couple of days. So, I started adding some more brine to the container. Of course, now it...

Thanks!! I will just stick with what I have :)

I'm planning a Mother's Day brunch for my mom, sister and some of mom's friends. Main course will be a Caramel Baked French Toast with Canadian bacon (on the side). I'm also preparing a simple fruit salad. Is this enough? Can anyone think of something else to go with this? Since the french toast...

Thanks Constance!! I had never thought of using a vinaigrette as a pasta sauce before, and it was really good!! I sauteed the chicken, along with a shallot, in the dressing. Then tossed it all together with the pasta and bacon, a little more dressing, and some Parmesan. Hubby loved it!! Next...

OOOH, some great ideas, thanks!!!

Ok, have some diced chicken breast (about 3/4 pound) and some nice bacon that's homemade at my local favorite grocer's, and was on sale. Oh, and a box of rotini. Was thinking of some sort of carbonara, but hubby is lactose intolerant, so would like to find something sans dairy. (He can tolerate...

I think there was some song that had a line about going away and then coming home to find "everything in your fridge has turned into a science experiment"! Maybe Tom Waits?

I find myself with a couple cups of leftover brown rice. Anyone have some suggestions? I was thinking of some sort of rice patty or ball, lightly fried or baked? I have a general idea of some sort of binder and seasonings, but am kind of stumped from there!! Thanks!!

Sounds kinda nasty to me. How about just eating a smaller amount of regular peanut butter?

Along with the grill pan, I also got this pan made by Kitchenaid: Saute Pan with Helper Handle (4.75-qt.) by KitchenAid - Betty Crocker I have used this one and I think the quality is excellent! It is very well made, rivets not screws, very heavy even bottom and very tight fitting lid. Insulated...

Hi Oldrustycars: I too was never thrilled with my Lodge cast iron 12 inch skillet. It seemed to cook well enough, but I always had trouble with cleaning and seasoning. No matter what I did, there was always a dark gray film that clung to it. Never felt sanitary to me. I did receive the enameled...

Hmm, will let you know how it is when I open it! However, this site liked it: Spirits Review | Reviews - Brandy - Ara Jan

Here's a site that seems to have every type ever made! http://www.ramendepot.com/

One of my husband's clients recently gave him a bottle of Armenian Brandy, brand name Ara Jan. I am woefully ignorant of most spirits, and while looking around on the web for some info about it, found a review site that suggested using it in a red sangria. I like sangria! Actually, I prefer my...

Thanks for your input guys. I did buy the pan, and will post my experiences with it once I receive it and have had a chance to use it.

Hi all: The Betty Crocker store is having a 20% off sale and I am considering buying this: Garnet Square Grill Pan (12-in.) by KitchenAid - Betty Crocker Does anyone own this pan (or something like it) and if so, do you like it? I do have a standard cast iron skillet and like it very much. I...

Thanks for all your help everyone!! (Of course, it didn't stop me from EATING all the cookies!)

Thanks Glorie, glad I'm not the only one!!

I've been using kosher salt (Morton's) for all my cooking and was using up the leftover table salt for baking. Well, made some chocolate chip cookies (Toll House recipe from Nestles) and used the kosher salt for the first time. The cookies actually taste saltier to me. I used the same amount (1...

I know there have been many discussions about cast iron on this board, but I haven't seen this particular issue: I bought a Lodge cast iron skillet, supposedly pre-seasoned. I have only used it a couple of times, to brown ground beef. I never use soap, only hot water and a copper scrubbie pad. I...

They are just adorable!!!! Lucky you! I have two cats, Bailey (on the right) and Roxie, both rescues. They bring me a lot of joy. Best to you, Jan

Hubby and I will be vacationing in Asheville for our 25th anniversary. Of course, we will see the Biltmore, but I was looking through restaurant.com for coupons at restaurants near where we will be staying (zip code 28803). Has anyone been to these restaurants and what did you think of them...

Amy: Just wanted to let you know I tried the Egg Noodle Bake with Golden Raisins and it was a huge hit! Of course, I used the full fat versions of the cottage cheese and sour cream, and whole eggs instead of egg whites, so maybe that made it especially delicious!! Just wanted to say "thanks" and...

Larry: Could you share your sesame noodle recipe? The Ina Garten one sounds great, but this is definitely not a "spicy" crowd!! I will be trying it for myself tho! Also, anyone want to share a tried and true kugel recipe?
