Probably figured it out by now, but I always try to have on hand a package of black beans and rice (Vigo brand only), onions, and garlic. Make rice and beans as instructed. Add if you have onions garlic and balsamic vineger: Sautee onions in EEOO, add garlic. Add enough balsamic vinegar to...

Dinner for 14 at Chez KeyLime Paige 1 13 pound turkey (used apples, garlic, onions, lemon, salt, pepper, butter and a little bit of flour in an oven bag) 1 Large Pot of Mashed Potatoes (with creamy horseradish, 1 can of vegetable stock, sauteed garlic, dash of salt, black pepper, parsely...

boy am i glad somebody asked this question. i was wondering the same thing the other day in the grocery store. the only case in point i can think of is using baking soda instead of baking powder made sugarcookies like shortbread cookies. ugh. -p

Good advice all around. It's expensive but buying Smart Balance and using egg whites instead of eggs for whatever you can will help alot. Also--make sure you read those Lean Cuisine/Healthywhatever frozen lunches..some of them proport themselves to be healthy and they're really not. Other...

The stuffed tomatoes sound amazing...and Jacques Pepin is one of my favorite chefs so I think I'll have to try it.

NZDoug thanks for trying it out. What's a scotch steak by the way. That sounds good...steak and green beans. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Desert Rose, can't wait to hear what you think. Jessica--I love feta cheese, but never know what to do with it...this was my first real attempt at cooking...

It's going to be a rainy day here in our Nation's capitol, so I'm making an easy tomato sauce I do a lot with a twist: 1 can tomatoes (whole preferably) 1 onion 3 cloves of garlic (I like garlic) 2 tablespoons EEOL 1 tbs oregano 1 1/2 tbs black pepper Seasoned or regular salt to taste Tonight I...

you can also add some lemon juice. that tends to counter salty-ness in foods.

I'm originally from Georgia so I only buy Vidallias ;o) but as for odor, it helps if you peel the first few layers off under a running tap if you don't do that already. Also lighting a match can help burn off some of the odor as well. a great use for onions is carmelizing them in balsamic...

speaking of bbq pizza, i always add garlic and onions and black pepper to the barbeque sauce i use. Sweet Baby Ray's is a personal favorite :)

Went on a weekend trip to a beach in delaware and stopped at a place called Elmer's Farmer's Market. Absolutely fantastic if you're ever on 404 heading to or from Rohoboth beach. Anyway, I got a ton of veggies and fruits...and need some ideas as to how to use two of them: Cherries (black)...

that's a good idea too. thanks licia!

Thanks guys. The bubbles were big and I think you're both right about the second layer being too close to the source. my batter ended up being pretty dense...almost like a brownie, but since i've never tried the recipe before, i don't exactly know what to expect. here it is for those...

thanks everybody! have posted in cakes and am confident will learn the answer to bubbly cake soon :) thanks everybody for all the nice welcomes!

What about sweet corn bread? Just add cinnamon (i would say probably 2-4 tbs depending on how much you're making) to practically any recipe. I use a ready-made mix called Jiffy available here in the US (maybe this is sacrelige for the real bakers here) but a little sweet corn bread and butter...
