Homemade Ice Cream You are so right to think along the lines of making your own. I grew up occasionally going to the dairy where it was made fresh everyday so naturally I cannot touch commercially made ice cream. When you start making your own not only will you find the flavor more intensely...

Lemon Zest I have done the same thing. I would eat it. You cooked it when you made the curd.

Tonight I am making a chicken meatball recipe. I ground chicken and made meatballs seasoned with Italian seasoning and breadcrumbs. I will be serving with pasta and homemade tomato sauce. These meatballs are delicious!

I never had a problem with my children eating vegetables or anything I prepared for a meal. This seems to be a very common problem today which did not exist years ago. I have to relate this problem to eating out and letting the children select what they want to eat. Eating vegetables is...

You must realize when you add other ingredients to a recipe, sometimes they will interest with your leavening.

Hi Ariel! I know some horses that would just love for that to happen to them :-) You could can the carrots using a hot or cold pack method. You might also like this carrot pudding. 1 Tablespoon butter 1 Small finely chopped onion ¼ Cup long grain white rice 1 ½ Cups chicken broth 6 Medium...

Great Minds think a like Pecanis :-) I like to make entrees like this shepherds pie in muffin tins when I am serving a buffet. It makes so much easier to serve without the mess and people just rave over it.

I think that something very special for Valentine's Day are the entrees encrusted with puff pastry. I wrap fish and other seafood in puff pastry and cut it in the shape of fish or for Valentine's Day a heart. I have also wrapped chicken and steak with puff pastry in the shape of hearts for...

I would leave in the refrigerator enough for two days. I would then divide the rest up into meal size (maybe one pound packages) place these in the freezer and you can use these packages for up to several months. When you want to prepare them just throw in microwave for quick use. Never leave...

You could make an open faced sandwich, beef and noodles or a beef pie.

I am putting pork ribs and sauerkraut in the oven. This is traditional for my German family. News years day always pork maybe because we always raised our own pigs.

I am assuming the turkey is not stuffed. I have on many occassions cooked my turkey wrapped in foil. One suggestion I have is to butter the turkey first before wrapping in foil this will prevent any sticking to the foil. Cooking like this does help to retain the moistness in the bird; this is...

I am assuming you thawed the turkey; it must be for the brine to absorb. I place my turkeys in a leak proof plastic bag pour brine over turkey and seal bag. Shake the bag to coat the whole turkey. I place it in my refrigerator like this. If you do not have room in the refrigerator you can place...
