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...

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...

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...

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...

: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 ...

I have a fresh whole 4lb chicken I purchased, and now I'm debating. I'd like to make some homemade gluten-free noodles and make some soup, but I'm so used to roasting my chicken in a slow cooker, I'm now debating my process. I have no chicken broth left right now, and I was hoping to have some...

Ok, so in my case, I have too many ingredients on hand, not too few, and I'd like to enlist your help in culling out a decent recipe from what I have. :chef: Things I don't have for the soup are: meat, cow's milk or cream Things I have that need to get used up quickly: wilted spinach 8 med...

Ahoy there! I've found some recipes online, but they don't answer my first question - are you supposed to COOK the corn? I've seen it say "Corn, shucked; Tomatoes, diced; etc." which to me implies it goes in raw. OTOH, two of my roommates claim that corn can't be properly digested raw. So...

OK, so I had plans to make Pesto-Cheese Stuffed Shells with Sauce, but I only have Australian Cheddar and I REALLY want to have Parm & Mozz for this dish. So, now I'm back to the drawing board, it's late and I'm cranky. :dry: (I have really BAD vision and an eye infection so I am missing one...

OK, so my 2-yr old son's been begging for beans for days now, so my partner made them - plenty of onion, garlic, and some cumin and sea salt in them. We had them spread on corn tortillas with cheesy scrambled eggs and salsa on top for breakfast. But we need to eat these again, and now I have...

OK, so I had a leftover chicken carcass (with one full drumstick and about 1 cup of cut up chicken breast that are reserved for the soup), and a tiny amt of drippings. So I dumped it in a large pot in a colander (for ease of getting tiny bones out), with a handful of sliced carrots, onion, two...

So, since I never had time to get my slow cooker chicken going this AM, I am going to have to whip something up fast right now. I'm curious for recipe ideas before I just go at here. I've got a small fresh eggplant, 2 roma tomatoes, pre-cooked polenta (tube), fresh italian herbs (growing...

Hey there, I've gotten pretty darn good at making a roast chicken (although skin still not quite as crispy as I'd like), but I'm getting a little bored with it, and right now I've got a fresh whole small chicken in the fridge. Normally, I just do a rub with mostly paprika, basil, oregano...

HELP! I've got all the fixins for a g-f pizza (including fresh made mozzarella!), but i forgot the pizza sauce. All I've got is an all-organic frozen marinara sauce, a couple of ripe roma tomatoes, and a 28oz can of diced tomatoes. I have most standard dried spices on hand in decent quanities...

Hey you guys, I'm making a Fire Truck Cake for my son's 2nd bday party TOMORROW! I found a shape, but didn't come with a recipe, so I went off hunting for a gluten-free chocolate layer cake recipe. Found one with a pic that's amazing, and I've started to make this. As I kept reading, it...

Hi there, I'm making a Chickpea Potato Curry, and using chickpeas that have been soaking for 4 days already!!!:blush: (just didn't have time - i have a toddler running around!) the recipe calls for using canned chickpeas, drained & rinsed. then you add to broth with spices and potatoes, etc...

Hi there, I found online that I can sub 1 tsp of lemon zest with 2 Tbsp of lemon juice, but I need 2 Tbsp of lemon zest for a cake. According to this, I would be adding ...ahem... 12 Tbsp of lemon juice, plus the 4 Tbsp of lemon juice it already calls for. This is a g-f lemon cake recipe I've...

OK, I've done a ton of google searches and everything comes up nil. I'm trying to make a Coconut-Pecan frosting that calls for 1 cup evaporated milk plus 1 cup sugar (plus everything else), but I only have sweetened condensed milk. Does anyone know how much sugar I should reduce the recipe...

(Hoping I'm in the right thread - I'm in a super hurry with a 18 mos old soon to be waiting for supper! and this is my first post...) I'm looking for ideas of a main dish that I can serve with a warm cabbage and new potato salad (made with avocados) that I have leftover. I made it to go with...
