Just rejoined the crock pot crowd. Tried Pot roast last night using a recipe from the owners manual. It was so bad that were I not certain it could be better the crock pot would already be on the trash heap. (just kidding I would have donated it) So once again I am turning to you sweet people...

ok - Rrreeeeaaching back into childhood.... Age 13 - 14 but still darned good: Very fresh white Balloon Bread - 2 slices - slathered with butter, one side then blessed with mustard, the other with Mayo, fresh crispy potato chips, American Cheese, sweet pickle slices and, if you're really...

Could it be Umami? You can find it online and it's also called "Taste #5"

I thought it was a grand idea and so much more quiet than metal or glass - however I baked a meatloaf and when slicing it the knife went through the pan! No more of that stuff for me!

It would have to be Chicken and Dumplings - great - now I'm hungry for that!

DH has been down with pneumonia so hasn't had much of an appetite. He's about chicken souped out so tonight it's seafood with pasta in a cream sauce and salad.

I've purchased an Herbed Rice mix that was really really good and I love their frozen oatmeal. It's the only oatmeal I can eat a whole portion of.

Last night I prepared Talapia for the second time. The first was a disaster (fortunately for me alone - it tasted dirty to me but I think the fish quality was not good). That was in Portland and now I'm living in Chicago - the Talapia is much better here! I searched here and heeded the advice...

I've used my "Seal a Meal" with tomatoes and had great results! The skin justs slips off and they are wonderful in sauces and salsas and even chopped salads. Best of luck! (since I just moved to Chicago and am living in a Condo a garden is not an option.....pine pine for my Oregon home!)

Love mine (but probably not the same brand - no cord on mine) I uses it to puree soups, stuff on the stove, etc. Just make sure the blender is deeply enough into the food to cover the holes along the sides of the blades, else it will splash all over. Be cautious about hot stuff so that you don't...

Ok ok - been hankering for some of this stuff for awhile! On my short list now - thanks for posting!

I have a 10 quart and a 5 quart - oh, did I mention I've moved to a MUCH smaller kitchen??? I refused to give up my pressure cookers, though. I love them. Very very tender and flavorful Corned Beef and Cabbage and New Potatoes in about an hour. Can't count the other dishes I've made - biggest...

I am a good savory cook but have never been greatly successful with baking - made one batch of peanut butter cookies that even the Doberman Pincer wouldn't touch! That being said, I found a wonderful book called "Got Milk?" and it has become my bible. I've since been lauded for my cookies...

Good for you Keith! Keep on Keeping on! If you never make a mistake you're not learning!
