Hi all, I am making a chocolate mousse and have a recipe calling for gelatin leaves, but can only fine granulated gelatin in the store. If I need two sheets for the recipe, can anyone tell me how to convert this to the granulated type? Thanks so much!

made some oatmeal with real maple syrup and a french vanilla yogurt

Hey Kamp, this isn't necessarily an answer to your question about easy recipes, but I just stumbled upon this website recently about kids with autism/adhd and a diet that may help alleviate some of the symptoms, you might want to pass along to your friend the address with all the info she'd need...

The seasonings I tend to use the most are garlic powder, red pepper flakes, paprika, salt and pepper. I put these on chicken, fish, vegetables (toss cubed potatoes in olive oil and these spices and bake, yum!), even pizza dough - well except for the paprika, I usually just use that on meats and...

for some reason breakfast for dinner sounds good to me today... I found a pancake mix from a local company and we have real maple syrup... It's just one of those days!

I love anything that melted chocolate pours out of. Like molten lava cake. YUM.

I just (re)discovered falafel in a magazine I was reading the other day. We didn't have all the ingredients in the house, but even with what I had they turned out so tasty! It's basically cooked chickpeas (pureed), garlic, parsley, salt, cumin, a little oil of whatever variety, a little bit of...

I just got my first cast iron skillet and dutch oven over the weekend as well! My husband is familiar with cooking in it, but I am not. He is looking forward to using the skillet to cook his grandma's famous fried chicken... I am just looking forward to eating it!

Fresh Italian bread with creamy ricotta cheese on top, yum

I just made some rice pudding today - I def prefer the stove-top cooking method.. recipe is: 3 cups milk, 1/3 cup long grain rice, 1/4 cup sugar, tsp vanilla....optional you can add some raisins, and cinnamon or nutmeg... i don't really care for either so... basically you just heat the milk up...

I tend to use frozen veggies when I need a quick side dish in a pinch... like peas or corn. Sometimes I buy the "stir-fry" mix to make over rice, just cause I like the baby corn!

I have to drink decaf because I am breastfeeding, but the instant works great if I want to use milk instead of water, then it's like an instant latte. Not too bad tasting I don't think!

Frittata probably, got a ton of eggs in the fridge.

Grew up eating Nutella! My parents are from Italy and I never realized other Americans had never heard of it until I got made fun of in middle school for having a Nutella sandwich for lunch :-( Those same people are raving about it now!!! :-P

I think so! Haven't you ever said "That looks so good!" and then craved whatever it was that you were looking at?

thanks jikoni...that's what i've kind of heard too. we don't have access to a gas line, and am concerned about all the work involved to put one in, but we really like the look of the induction stove and if it works, i'd rather do that than rip up the floor boards and try and install all those...

My husband and I are looking to remodel our kitchen in the near future and we are thinking about a magnetic induction stove... specifically the Stainless Steel Kenmore Elite 30 in. Freestanding Induction Range... has anyone ever cooked on one? Are they really as great as they're being made to...

I agree, Paula, Rachel, Emeril... bah.. there's something about each of their voices that really irk me... And that's kind of an important part of a cooking show... I do like the reality cooking shows like "Top Chef" and "Chopped", I think cause there is less talking, and it's amazing what they...

one of the things I do like about Giada is she at least pronounces the Italian ingredients correctly.

So last night I threw together a kind of summer-veggie sauce for dinner and it turned out pretty good! Here is the basic recipe: (serves about 4) 2 medium sized eggplants, washed and diced 1 small white onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 green bell pepper, washed and diced half dozen...

Do they carry any fresh mozzarella made from Buffalo's milk? MAN - if you ever get to travel to central/southern Italy you've got to try it, it is by far my favorite EVER. It really puts any other kind of mozzarella to shame.

I would agree with those that are saying not to split the lady fingers... the recipe I always use does not require them to be split.. and doesn't really make sense to either since you have to soak them in coffee and they get soggy fast... I would up the ratio of cream to cookie if it seems that...

It's summer again and soon fresh tomatoes will be everywhere! One of my favorite things to make with them is just a simple Bruschetta...here's my recipe: Serves 4 Ingredients 2 medium tomatoes, chopped 6 or 7 fresh basil leaves, ripped up 2 cloves of garlic, (1 halved, 1 chopped) 1/4 cup...
