Homemade Ice Cream You are so right to think along the lines of making your own. I grew up occasionally going to the dairy where it was made fresh everyday so naturally I cannot touch commercially made ice cream. When you start making your own not only will you find the flavor more intensely...

Lemon Zest I have done the same thing. I would eat it. You cooked it when you made the curd.

Tonight I am making a chicken meatball recipe. I ground chicken and made meatballs seasoned with Italian seasoning and breadcrumbs. I will be serving with pasta and homemade tomato sauce. These meatballs are delicious!

I never had a problem with my children eating vegetables or anything I prepared for a meal. This seems to be a very common problem today which did not exist years ago. I have to relate this problem to eating out and letting the children select what they want to eat. Eating vegetables is...

You must realize when you add other ingredients to a recipe, sometimes they will interest with your leavening.

Hi Ariel! I know some horses that would just love for that to happen to them :-) You could can the carrots using a hot or cold pack method. You might also like this carrot pudding. 1 Tablespoon butter 1 Small finely chopped onion ¼ Cup long grain white rice 1 ½ Cups chicken broth 6 Medium...

Great Minds think a like Pecanis :-) I like to make entrees like this shepherds pie in muffin tins when I am serving a buffet. It makes so much easier to serve without the mess and people just rave over it.

I like Shepherds pie. I found that serving this dish to guest I like individual servings; it is much easier and neater to serve. Biscuit recipe for crust 2 Cups sifted flour 1 Tablespoon sugar 4 ½ Teaspoon baking powder ½ Teaspoon salt ½ Teaspoon cream of tartar ½ Cup shortening (Crisco...

I think that something very special for Valentine's Day are the entrees encrusted with puff pastry. I wrap fish and other seafood in puff pastry and cut it in the shape of fish or for Valentine's Day a heart. I have also wrapped chicken and steak with puff pastry in the shape of hearts for...

I would leave in the refrigerator enough for two days. I would then divide the rest up into meal size (maybe one pound packages) place these in the freezer and you can use these packages for up to several months. When you want to prepare them just throw in microwave for quick use. Never leave...

You could make an open faced sandwich, beef and noodles or a beef pie.

I am putting pork ribs and sauerkraut in the oven. This is traditional for my German family. News years day always pork maybe because we always raised our own pigs.

I am assuming the turkey is not stuffed. I have on many occassions cooked my turkey wrapped in foil. One suggestion I have is to butter the turkey first before wrapping in foil this will prevent any sticking to the foil. Cooking like this does help to retain the moistness in the bird; this is...

I am assuming you thawed the turkey; it must be for the brine to absorb. I place my turkeys in a leak proof plastic bag pour brine over turkey and seal bag. Shake the bag to coat the whole turkey. I place it in my refrigerator like this. If you do not have room in the refrigerator you can place...

All recipes are not the same; try to get recipes that have been tried by someone you know. You didn't say if you had a problem with the mixture rising; yeast does go bad if it is old. Another problem is getting too much liquid in your recipe for you to have to use so much flour so be careful and...

When I trained under a French chef we made meringues for various desserts. I am not familar with your oven settings but it sounds like you are baking them too high of temperature. Here is how I do it: Preheat oven to 225 F degrees Whish 4 egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form...

Hi jusnikki, I am sure your butcher will be more than happy to help you out with fresh ground pork. Once you eat this you will not want to buy the commercial brands any longer; the taste is so much better. Remember you can add you own season such as sage, rosemary, thyme, garlic, etc. You can...

I never like cooking in the crockpot for this reason. It takes many many hours to get meat to the point of shreading; it must be very very tender. The oven does wonders when cooking meat to a very tender stage. Put it in a heavy roaster with a little water cover it and cook until it falls...

I agree with you I do not like the gristle in the sausage. You usually find this in any of the commercial made sausage. The big producers are not careful not to throw in the gristle and bone when making sausage. I butcher a hog every year and the sausage is delicious. I would suggest finding a...

You can prepare everything ahead of time. Ham is the traditional meat for Easter. You can buy this precooked or cook yourself ahead. Arrange ham slices on an oven proof platter ahead of time and put in refrigerator. Then it will be ready to go directly to oven. You can also have scalloped...

You can't go wrong with using some chocolate because it is the favorite flavor around the world. Black and White Custard 2 eggs 3/4cup of egg yolks 3/4 cup of milk 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream 7 oz bittersweet chocolate 3/4 cup of sugar Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. In a mixing bowl beat the...

If it was me I would go with rolled rump roast. There is very little waste when cooking and they slice very nicely after they are cooked. This is a moderate cut and most people are happy with it.

I always make my Colcannon Recipe with Kale in my potatoes. Here is my recipe Colcannon recipe, Traditional Irish recipes, Irish soda bread How does yours differ from mine?
