Just wondering what everybody's favorite blog was. My favorites right now: Orangette and Smitten Kitchen.

Well the first one on the list that was under $100 was the "Oster Inspire", which ran for about $70. This model was not recommended, and the description said (paraphrased): "This unit almost got a passing grade—until it brutalized the carrots, celery, and onions in the chopping test. If you...

So my Cuisinart finally broke the other day, and I've found that my blender just doesn't work well as a substitute. After checking cooksillustrated.com for reviews of food processors, I found that the only ones recommended were around $200! Are there any decent models less than $100?

Has anyone noticed you can't rate or review the recipes on their website? That bothers me...I hate investing the time and money into a recipe when I have no idea if it's even decent or not..

I want to grilled sliced zucchini and portobello mushroom caps, but want to try marinading them first, maybe in something based on balsamic vinegar. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Thanks!

A recipe calls for 3 unflavored gelatin sheets or leaves, but all I have are gelatin envelopes with powder in them, at 1/4 oz. per envelope. How do I substitute the sheets for the powder?

Speaking of, how DO you clean those things out? The only thing I've found that has sorta worked is rubbing the inside with a damp paper towel..

It's my one true weakness: General Tso's. I eat pretty healthy except for when it comes to these cravings. Anybody have any tried and true recipes for this delicacy? I'd rather make it at home than get take-out...who knows how unhealthy that stuff is..

Definitely the most unpleasant in my experience. I've gotten into the habit of taking the raw chicken parts that I'm discarding and sealing them in a ziploc before throwing away. Works every time!

In the middle of "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle", the story of a family of four who make it a goal to go a whole year only eating food they raised themselves or bought from local sources. Very interesting!

Two bananas and a glass of milk for me! (Detox diet...)

Well that's certainly interesting! So it's not tied to GM, but it still soundsl ike it works for most people..

I like how it compares Food Network and Cooking Channel with MTV and MTV2...that's exactly what I was thinking when it first came out.

Yeaaa it's day 4, and I am SICK of that soup! lol!

Was just wondering if anybody has heard of this? The link is here: General Motors: Weight Loss Diet Program, the so called "General Motors Weight Loss Program" that the company apparently designed for its employees some time ago. You can supposedly lose 10-15 Lbs. in 7 days (I'm sure you'll...

I've gotten lots of recommendations for Penzye's Spices, so I was thinking of ordering some whole spices, like cumin and mustard seeds. I was wondering, however, if the cheap stuff in the grocery store is the same thing? I know some items like black pepper can go anywhere from a few cents...

My favorite is Epicurious.com. It has all the recipes that are featured in Gourmet and Bon Appetit magazines.

I don't like the sound of this....the high price of Nutella is the only thing that keeps me from eating it in large quantities every day! :lol:

I bought a bulb of garlic the other day, and when I broke it apart to get a clove out, I noticed that some of the cloves were brownish in color. What causes this? Are they still edible?

I've always found that if you coat the peppers in oil before grilling them, they'll cook much faster...probably as fast as it takes the lamb to cook.
