Boy, after spending the day thinking about this and about which ingredients to scoop up for the event, I discovered there are about as many recipes on the internet as there are drops of water in the sea. There's even a whole website devoted to a different macaroni and cheese recipe every day...

Unfortunately, I need to avoid macaroni and cheese in a box because the person I'm cooking for has celiac disease. The gluten-free pasta is quite good and will hold up well to baking. But thanks for the filling ideas!

Hi, all. I'm searching the internet high and low for a delicious macaroni and cheese recipe (casserole style) that I can serve with a nice vegetable side or maybe a salad. 1. Do you have any macaroni and cheese recipes that you have encountered or made personally that you believe to be the...

Hey, guys. I recently saw a recipe for beef bourguignon that called for the meat to marinate for 48 hours... but it seems to be this would alter the texture of the meat too much to be edible. Under what circumstances, if ever, would you marinate anything (and what?) for more than 24 hours...

Hi, everyone. My significant other cannot eat gluten products of any kind and therefore has always used tamari instead of soy sauce. Tamari is a kind of soy sauce made without wheat, and the result is darker, richer, and in my opinion significantly saltier (tasting) than koikuchi (regular) soy...

I am sending you a (long) list via private message that contains the full list of tourist attractions that I would consider. Pick 4 or 5 of them to do per day. If you have any questions, you can let me know...

It'll be hot then, but a great time will be had. Post if you need any restaurant recommendations or off-the-path activities.

It's basic, but there's lots of room for tweaks and tastes. I definitely recommend it even if you're not so comfortable with the oven. The recipe also allows you to make it hotter or tamer. The eggs are a great vehicle for the heat. Let us know how it turns out!

Holy wow! I hope you've got the space. Cooking for 2 sometimes makes me sweat, so I can't imagine cooking for 13! :clap:

I'm having a lousy country club buffet at 4 pm... :mad: but it's all for mom. I recommend my zucchini casserole for Mother's Day because it makes me think of eating this growing up... http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f18/zucchini-casserole-mothers-day-special-72124.html It's a great...

I grew up with this recipe and love making it to this day. My mom introduced me to it, and I want to pick up the phone and call her whenever I make it. Give it a try. :smile: Ingredients: 3 medium unpeeled zucchini, ends trimmed, grated or pureed in a food processor 1-1/4 cups pancake mix...

You get what you pay for, especially with fish. What was wrong here? Taste fail? Texture fail?

Ha! I did know that, thanks to the Ric Burns documentary from a number of years ago... I actually work in an office where one of our conference rooms overlooks Bowling Green and another overlooks Fraunces Tavern, so I am happy to show clients who visit us what a dork I am. You must be pretty...

Hey, everyone. I had these great bourbon-marinated filets mignons and wanted to make one for dinner tonight. Problem 1: I cannot grill because I live in a small apartment in Manhattan, and although I have a terrace, I can't have a grill out there because it's against the rules of the building...

I found the site through a random link I clicked and was also wondering if there are any parts of the site that you all enjoy the most.
