    What goes well with Kimchi?

    I subbed butter for shortening.

    I made a pumpkin pie yesterday and made my own pie crust but I used butter in place of shortening in the recipe and the end result was thick and gummy and I was wondering if the using butter messed it up?? Here is the recipe: 2 C flour 3/4 C shortening (I used butter) 1/2 C ice water 1/4 tsp...

    Thanksgiving 2014: The Meal! The Memories!

    Is it ok to say that I would have changed almost every dish at the place I went? I don't think they knew what salt is. Anyways, I only got 3 hours of sleep and had to meet more of Joe's family. I didn't even make a plate to go and now I am starving...

    Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

    Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! As I was baking the pumpkin pie, cranberry apple crisp and 8 pans of yeast rolls my BF walked up to me and hugged me and said, "Our first Thanksgiving together." I am thankful for him and my kids. :)

    Cabbage...Cauliflower?

    This is what I meant really. I make sliders wrapped in wax paper for BF to grab and go with. When my veggies start to get limp then I like to save them and would rather freeze than trash. I have a batch of cabbage rolls in the freezer already. I make them once a month and am the only one who...

    I was embarrassed to check my bank account after eating out for 2 months

    No we do not eat out often. Joe ate every meal out before we got together. But with having had gastric bypass it is such work to find a place where I can eat and then finding something on the menu I can eat. I cook all our meals and every once in awhile we will order chinese, but it is so high...

    Cabbage...Cauliflower?

    What about freezing the cabbage? I was thinking about maybe making a cole slaw and then was wondering if I can freeze the cabbage, either cooked or uncooked with good end results. Joe's aunt just bought us a freezer and I am obsessed with filling it. I would rather freeze my cabbage than it...

    What's the last movie you watched?

    Th last movie we watched was Maleficent. BF fell asleep in my lap as he normally does, but I enjoyed it. I love Angelina and Sleeping Beauty was always my 2nd favorite Disney movie. (The Little Mermaid is my favorite, gotta root for my fellow redheaded blue eyed gal!)

    Cabbage...Cauliflower?

    I have a head of cabbage and califlower in the fridge. Do any of you have any simple recipes for sides for TG that I could peek at? I need to cook these veggies and figured why not take an extra veggie side to TG? But I am going to a house of mainly non adventurous meat eaters...so simple is...

    What is for dinner y'all? I am making some mac & cheese (boxed, GASP!) and adding some hot dog chili in for my BF to take to work with some tortillas to make chili mac burritos. Joe works nights at a liqour warehouse, so he is swamped this week with it being a holiday and needs something he...

    Catering to Picky eaters??

    Thank you Addie. Yes it was. Native American over 350 lbs, enlarged heart, etc. But on a happy note, he is the one who started cooking with me when I was a little. :) And on subject, he was a picky eater. Only the bad for you foods and never any rabbit food. :)

    Has anyone started cooking yet?

    Not yet, BUT I haven't gone to the store to buy my foil pans for tranporting. I think I will start tomorrow night, but honestly it all has to do with the weather and how my back & neck are holding up. As long as my 3 items are done by Wednesday I am golden. I do have to say that GOING to...

    Brown Sugar in chili

    I have NEVER done it before and for some reason last night while making my hot dog chili I added a tablespoon of brown sugar on a whim. I liked it, but think I will leave it to my hot dog chili rather than my regular chili. I like the idea how them having 2 way different tastes. Joe loved the...
