I don't believe in wasting food, either. My mother lived through the Depression and my dad had a German grandmother that knew how to cook 'possum. I've never gone that far and never will. But my opinion is, Uncle Sam might be taxing us out the wazoo on what we are paid, the city & state might...

Try these, they're my favorites: Biscuit Mix Use in any recipe that calls for Bisquik. This is the version I prefer, a little lower in fat than the others. Makes about 13 cups. To make biscuits with this, just add club soda, nothing more. You can also mix with water for biscuits or...

Yum to all the above. But I didn't see the obvious mentioned. You could actually chop or puree, pour into small containers and freeze. Then use as you wish.

Lots of good ideas here already! I had never seen the oatmeal bars or the soup, will have to try IF we don't use what we have as fried green tomatoes. Here in Oklahoma, it's almost required that you have some at LEAST once a summer! But it's an acquired taste, I think, and if you didn't grow...

Oh, Yeahhhhh. I went to school in a small town in NE Oklahoma and the ladies in the cafeteria made this all the time. They called it wacky cake. We'd skip out of basketball practice early and slip into the cafeteria and they'd always hold back a piece for us, if we hadn't scarfed up the cake...

The only time I ever drain my thawed shredded frozen zucchini is when I'm gonna fry it. There are lots of vitamins and such in the water. If you feel like your zucchini bread batter is going to be too loose, reduce other liquids. If it calls for milk, use dry milk powder in the proper amount...

I freeze my flour, but it's to kill weevil eggs before they hatch. Almost any flour you buy can contain weevil eggs. I think flour is good for a long time otherwise, but I wouldn't store it in a warm place. What goes rancid is the fat so whole wheat and rye flour would go bad before white...

How about kabobs? You can thread small chunks of chicken breast, pineapple chunks, cherry tomatoes onto a skewer and grill quickly. Baste with a little pineapple preserves 5 minutes before they're done. If you have a local Wal-Mart you can get metal kabob skewers in the kitchen supply...

I like allrecipes.com. You can search for a recipe lots of different ways, including by ingredient. The thing I like about it is that people rate and also critique the recipe. Lots of them add stuff to make it better. So you can find out before you make the recipe what, if any, problems...

Next year, put the roast in a crock pot and pour in a can of beer. Delicious and lots easier. Make some mashed potatoes to pour the sauce over. And yes, the scum is normal when you have liquids in contact with raw meat. The liquid thins the blood left in the meat and it drains out rather...

How you prepare your zucchini for the freezer depends on how you're going to use it. Mostly I shred mine. I do not pare the skin off. I pack it in zip-lock bags that hold about 2 cups. I use it in soups and stir-fry. When I make spaghetti, after I pour off the boiling water, I rip off the...

Yes to all the above. I've used vodka and I've used brandy, and I prefer the flavor of the brandy. I cut my vanilla beans in small pieces and drop them right into the brandy bottle and leave them in. I've used it as quickly as a month later. I wouldn't add more brandy as what's there is...
