Hi. Just curious. How can her lactose intolerant boys eat this 'cheese'? Cheese is made from milk. In fact the first ingredient on the ingredients labels is milk. Oh, or is that what you haven't figured out? I hope your niece figured it out... it's definitely not something she should be...

haha! "product" instead of food... how appropriate.

Very interesting. I didn't look at them all yet because I stopped at Connecticut, which is where I live. I don't know if I should be embarrassed or not. Steamed burger???!!! What the heck is that? All I know is, it sure isn't impressive. I've experienced many great burgers in Connecticut, but...

I think salmon must be one of those things there are endless ways to cook. Tonight I had an almond granola crusted salmon, that starts out in an oven safe fry pan on the stove. When the crust is nicely browned, it gets turned and the pan with the salmon goes in oven to finish cooking. The citrus...

I guess my use of anchovy paste is the most expected, most common. I try to find healthy alternatives to things I love when it's something that could be really heavy, and not so heart-healthy. I searched for a lite Caesar dressing. I think Caesar salad is the one time I get the whole romaine...

Chief... great idea for the workplace. I wish I had thought of it before I retired in January. Otherwise though, I LOVE the firm skin. I can't wait to get to the skin, which I save for last... after the potato and the rest of the meal is gone. Then I savor it, breaking off pieces, adding a bit...

I have definitely done that. And yes, the skins come out just the way we like 'em. Most of the time I just pop 'em in the oven to bake and do other things. But there are times that shorter cooking time comes in handy.

Of course I knew the possibilities where endless. Chief Longrind of the North: For baking, I have always done the same thing... made a criss-cross cut in the top, but then squeeze it open. Of course never with foil. I don't know why that ever became a 'thing' for baking potatoes. But the...

Yummmmm! Definitely have to try that one when there's company. Your secret is safe with me!

A few great ideas. I LOVE twice baked. Hectic holiday meals are a great time to do them (well any time is a great time)... make them ahead of time, heat the later. I like them with a little extra pepper and parmesan on top. I don't cut them in have (gluttons that we are). I make a slit in the...

Sounds really good... seriously. But I don't use onion soup mixes... way too high in sodium. But definitely some good flavors there for potatoes.

I'm a big fan of anything Trader Joe's. Unfortunately, I don't eat mushrooms. That really looks good though. No young kids with crazy schedules, so really no need for prepared foods. And I try to watch sodium content too. I admit to using them when the kids were young though. Great choice for...

You could always try the corn meal instead of flour, but maybe do the flour and panko first. As for broiling, I wouldn't recommend that. You wouldn't be reducing the fat content. These are baked on a grate placed in a baking sheet, so certainly easier than broiling. Broiling would require...

Yummy! Those have been on my list of things to try. Along the same line, try the crispy zucchini fries. I made those recently. The dipping sauce was mayo, lime and sriracha. And they were baked!!! So no fussing over frying. Super crispy and delicious. I think I might have posted a pic. under a...

Sorry, I never saw this. Hopefully you found a recipe or just experimented. These were filled with cheese.

Another Version of Zucchini Lasagna Here's another version of zucchini lasagna with zucchini being the 'noodles" that I want to try. A more traditional look. There have been some huge zucchinis in the garden. So big that I call them "zucchini on steroids". One of those would probably do it...

The rain kind of changed our plans so I made my coffee, and vegetated in bed watching TV and looking up some recipes on the laptop. Brunch was in my immediate future. I had one sm.-med. red potato left. First I was thinking home fries (lots of variations for those), then decided on a potato...

"BLAST". Love it!

Cauliflower Crust Pizza I finally made it. Fabulous! I give it 4 stars instead of 5 though... it's just too much work to make. It's not hard... just a lot of steps. This one was topped with my turkey meatballs, chicken Italian sausage, and of course sauce (home made) & mozzarella. I will...

I came across one of these knives by accident. My son, after coming home for a brief period after college, had left a butcher's knife behind. It sat there in it's sleeve for ages before I even used it. I think I finally used it when my Henkel butcher knife was in use when family was at the house...

I've heard that and it makes sense. We all need to think about this. Unless we're washing our chicken with hot soap and water (I know... ridiculous example), we're not cleaning off/getting rid of any bacteria. I'm sure most (if not all) of us have always rinsed with cold water, and of course no...

I know that can happen. But I've also seen a lot of comments about successes too. I think there are some tips and tricks we need to learn. My daughter has made it and it was crisp and firm, and sliced up nicely. Hopefully you'll try again. I haven't tried it yet, but I think I'm up for a few...

Tried Something New Crispy zucchini fries! They were to die for. Tonight's dinner was grilled lemon rosemary turkey cutlets with baked crispy zucchini fries. The sauce for the fries was called for a sriracha lime mayo. Since there was cayenne in the breadcrumb mixture for the zucchini fries, I...

So sorry. I hadn't been back here and hadn't seen your post. The recipe for the cauliflower crust grilled cheese called for mozzarella cheese. Cauliflower Crust Grilled Cheese There are many of these recipes around. Here's a recipe for cauliflower crust pizza I'm considering: Cauliflower...

Why do I cook? Besides the obvious (I love to cook), I think cooking is a form of expression. My mom was a wonderful cook and entertained a lot. I got the passion from her. And I've passed that passion for cooking along to both of my kids. My son is married and does the cooking. My daughter...
