Hi Guys, So I'm a 36 yr old mom of two. I work full time and have my hands full. But, I'm going back to college! First day of class is Monday. Which leaves me to why I'm posting. I fix dinner around 5 every weekday. I need freezable meals I can either put in the crock pot in the mornings, or...

Instead of using instant pancake mix I tried to make my own. 2 cups flour 1tbsp baking soda 1tbsp baking powder Milk until desired consistency (about 1 cup) Cinnamon & Nutmeg to taste. I get a nasty aftertaste when cooked though. Is the soda and power maybe too much? If I don't put it in...

So I have sage sprouting in a little clear plastic container I've placed outside. This gave me the idea that perhaps I could have my husband build a mini greenhouse. I live in an apartment complex. We each have a flower bed and a back patio. Stray cats keep urinating in the flower bed. It's...

I bought a pasta machine and have been trying to make noodles. Unfortunately its not working out. I think perhaps my recipe is off or something? I use 4 eggs, a couple tablespoons of water, and 2 cups flour. After I form the dough I place it in the refrigerator for an hour or so. Then I...

I picked up chicken gizzards the other day. I love KFC gizzards but most KFC no longer make them. I've been told the best way to cook them is with a pressure cooker, but I don't have one of those. I know if you do it wrong they can get a bit tough. So how do I make these very yummy and delicious?

Yesterday I made fresh baked wheat bread. Every time I make bread we eat about half a loaf and I reserve the rest for bread pudding. It's my DH's favorite. I saw on Food Network where they made a water bath for their bread pudding. They said something about it makes it more moist? My Dh loves my...

So tonight I made my fried chicken which I always use buttermilk for. Problem is the smaller cartoon of buttermilk was more expensive than the 1/2 gallon Kroger brand. I hate to waste so much! So what else can I do with buttermilk? Nothing too elaborate please! I used about half the cartoon for...

Anyone have a recipe for my Dh's birthday tomorrow that won't blow my diet? I'm trying to stay around 1500 calories for the day and low on sugars. He loves chocolate but I don't suppose he'd complain too much if it was something else. Oh and the icing can't be too sweet.

So someone was telling me olive oil can be toxic when used with high heat. Is this true? How hot is too hot? And what exactly is the toxicity? I use a lot of olive oil in my cooking. The only time I don't really use olive oil is deep frying. And then I use veggie oil but only because its...

So I have a new charcoal grill and I did pork ribs last night. I followed a recipe I found. It suggested putting the heat to one side of the grill, and letting the ribs lay on the cooler side to cook for an hour basting once in awhile. I did that. But they were a bit tougher than I'd liked...
