Thank you!!!

I am planning on canning banana peppers today. I am canning as I get a few. I don't want to can them in huge supplies since I am the only one to eat them. I also don't want them to go bad while I am waiting for the others to be ready. I really just need something with vinegar, possibly garlic...

I have a ton of roma tomatoes just so I can make spag sauces and tom sauces and salsas. BUT how do I cook them or get them ready to be used in these dishes. I know I have to skin them but how exactly do I go about all this. Do I just throw them whole into a pan and then let the skins fall...

I found one that we sort of liked but it had rosemary and thyme in it, yuck!! So I am on a search for a different one w/o those ingred in it and possibly some zuchhini strips in it (growing a ton in my garden). Does anyone have one that is a "winner"? Thanks!

I don't have a pressure cooker. I will have to look to see if my walmart does. I had never needed it before but this is my first yr of seriously canning.

I just cut the beet greens but also got some big beets. I have never canned beets. So tell me how to do it from start to finish? I am doing it in small batches since its just my dh that will eat them. I don't want any flavoring or anything in them just plain. Thanks for any advice! Oh do I...

The biscuits were good. I kind of made my own recipe up from you girls and then another one I saw. They turned out great and I ended up having to put honey on them also. Yummy!!

Thanks girls so much! I can't wait to try them. I forgot to check recipes to see what I needed at the store.

I am in need of a biscuit recipe. I am looking on Food Network but I don't have buttermilk (is there a good sub) and I don't have shortening (just oil). Does anyone have one? I am making gravy sausage and biscuits tomorrow for bfast and the one recipe I have is not a good one for this sort of...

What exactly is this and are there subs? I am not used to different cheeses or different names for cheeses. We grew up on the basics and then our little ol towns grocery stores (3 of them) don't carry too many, other then the basic, cheeses. So if I can't find this one, what is a good...

The soup was very good. Better then Campbells (although that is good enough when I am sick). Thanks!!!

Thank you so much! I thought they were ok but never had anything say that in a recipe or have really had to deal with it. Now I can cook and know I am ok.

I am getting ready to make homemade tom soup and it says to use a nonreactive pan. I have never had a recipe call for that. Will a non stick or ss pan work ok?

We just moved into our house last Sept and we had a huge harvest of grapes, BUT my jelly turned out runny. I followed directions but it still. So I am looking for a good grape jelly recipe. Please!

I love buffet style parties (in fact I don't think I have ever been to one that wasn't). Thats why I love stuff that you don't really need a fork. That is nice. So people can just munch all night and pick.
