Looking for cookware Thank you for the information. I'll check it out. I made a big mistake and donated all my old pans, they were very good quality, and used my son's. I didn't know the Revere Ware of the 90's is not Revere Ware of the early 70's. The quality is not good. I also had some...

New to "DiscussCooking" Really need new cookware and just haven't been able to trust the manufacturer's. Have read through this thread and don't feel so dazed and confused about it all. Don't have a lot of $$ to spend but want good quality cookware. Thank you all, I didn't even have to ask...

That vegetarian recipe Yes, that is a rather bland and somewhat tasteless recipe. I am not a vegetarian. If you put some meat in it, maybe cayenne pepper. I was trying to find something that would use what is on the list. There isn't much other than salads. MSG, stay away from it. There...

Golden Soup Here is a recipe I found in one of my vegetarian cookbooks. It' simple and you could probably add your liverwurst. 2 cups thinly sliced carrots 2 cups scrubbed and thinly sliced potatoes 2 stalks of celery sliced thinly 1 small onion sliced thinly 5 cups cold water 1 cup milk (or...

Healthy Afterschool Snacks When my kids were growing up I used to make them a fruitplate for afterschool. I would take a dinner plate and would slice up apples, bananas, grapes, oranges (sometimes the canned ones with no sugar added), watermelon, kiwi and pineapple (canned with no sugar). I...

artichoke dips I've eaten artichokes for years. Canned and fresh. The "choke" is only present on fresh artichokes after you have removed the leaves and get down to the fuzzy "choke". You don't eat it. Canned and frozen, I'm like the rest here, I eat it all. I have dips I found on a website...

I live where a dog would get eaten in my back yard. I miss having dogs so I enjoy seeing dogs wherever they are.

Kid's chili My kids loved this chili, my Aunt Mickey came up with the recipe and we had it every Christmas Eve. I can eat it without staying up all night. The longer you cook it the easier it is on the digestive system. My kids still love this chili. 1 extra large can Campbells Pork N...

I helped my grandmother can all sorts of vegetables and fruits. But this was so long ago I can't remember. Does any one know of a publication or website that has all the information I would need to start canning again?

Balsamic Vinegar Live in California and heard about this last year. Trader Joe's still has the vinegar last time I looked. Considering all that is toxic used to grow food this vinegar issue isn't something to be overly concerned about unless one is drinking glasses of the stuff each day. I'd...

Kraut Choco Cake Sauerkraut does not lose it's flavor when rinsed. My grandmother made it in a wooden keg - it ferments and the flavor is absorbed by the cabbage. Rinsing does nothing except rinse off the marinade. If you buy kraut and it tastes like cabbage after rinsing you are not buying...

Beer and Kraut Fudge Cake Is anyone interested in this recipe? I found it on a website, Traditional American Recipes. It sounds awful but it is awsome, comes from a small town in northern Wisconsin: Here it is: Beer and Kraut Fudge Cake: 2/3 cup margarine, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 3 eggs, 1 teaspoon...

Reply for recipes You have ingredients for a good potato soup, omelettes, salads. You need more protein. Dried beans, lentils make a great soup. I will also look through my books to see what I have.

New to this forum but not new to cooking and baking. When I learned to cook, in 4-H, cooking and baking were two separate entities. Cooking was breakfast, dinner and supper and baking was the good stuff you were rewarded with for eating the cooking. Glad to be here and look forward to...
