Ugh! My sleeping schedule is all messed up lately. I've been waking up at 3:00 a.m. This morning I got up to do laundry then went back to bed close to 4:00 just to toss and turn till 6:45 when I get up to cook breakfast. Melatonin is not working for me anymore. Could it be my age? LOL I'm...

My condolences and prayers go out to the family. God has gained an angel in heaven.

Good evening everyone! I woke up this morning to fix a delicious breakfast for my husband and kids before I sent them off to work and school. Then I began doing some intense search on my future Etsy home business. I'm glad to be back here on the DC boards. I've missed it!

I would ask my neighbors if they cooked! :lol: You are not too far from me; care to share your recipe?

Thanks guys! I think I'll add some cream cheese to my sauce next time. My trial was not too bad. The sauce was a bit tart although I added a bit of sugar to it. I used 8 tomatillos and one serrano pepper (a couple of kids cannot eat it too spicy). Brought them to a quick boil, pureed them...

It's my first attempt at making enchiladas verdes today!!! If anyone has made these before with good results, please post your recipe. Thanks!

I've been away for a very long time and so glad to be back! I've missed you all and look forward to meeting new members. I've been teaching little ones at a local charter school. I recently resigned my job because of the curriculum that was adopted this year-Direct Instruction. I was about...

For the last 12 weeks, my breakfast has consisted of egg whites, turkey bacon, light whole wheat bread, oatmeal with skim milk topped with cinnamon and blueberries, baked sweet potato with a side of light cottage cheese and I feel incredible!!! I may have shedded a few pounds too! :)

I sautee my chicken pieces with onions, bell peppers and stewed tomatoes. Add some garlic and a dash of cumin. Separate chicken from bone and shred with veggies included. On a lightly oiled pan, heat corn tortillas, add the shredded chicken with veggies to each tortilla, top with Mexican...

I made some turkey chili with fire roasted stewed tomatoes and a side of homemade, sweet cornbread!

I have frozen raw clams. How long do I steam them for, and how do I prepare them after they are steamed?

My kids make me so proud! They (9th and 11th graders) are attending a charter school this year that's preparing them for college. They're both doing very well and have become more mature in every way. I met with one of my daughter's teachers today and he said my girl (9th grader) is extremely...

Thanks for the great suggestions! I will certainly use them.:smile:

I found a 5 star rated key lime pie on foodnetwork and decided to make it for my guests at our Easter gathering. Turns out it was extremely bitter and sweet! Ick! I'm still eating what was left of it (which was quite a bit) since no one really enjoyed it. Thanks to my sister's green jello...

Thanks! 100 of them are frozen now. The others are being used for tacos, enchiladas etc. :)

I've had a large number of corn tortillas in the fridge for about 3 weeks. How long can they last in the refrigerator until I need to toss them?

I got the "verbal" recipe from a friend but not sure if I got it right. I'm sure there are lots of versions to king ranch chicken casserole. Here's mine: I made my own Rotel (chopped fresh tomatoes, cilantro, onions, jalapeños, garlic), brown 3 chicken breasts (diced them), threw in some...

We'd go to the local pits, usually in the outskirts of the island, to get their typical lunch plates and some shaved ice then go sit at a bench by the beach. There's nothing better than that! :)

I'm making "Green elephant snot" dessert. I heated up some milk to dissolve some lime jello with aspartame and the milk began to separate. Ick! If I manage to break the milk down with blender, will the gelatine dessert still set properly??? I really don't want to throw it out. Help please...

Sorry to hear about this. Family can sometimes makes things more difficult. Hope it all works out for the best Alix!

slept through breakfast and lunch today. oops! It was a much needed recuperative rest. Coffee and PB&J sandwich on whole wheat bread at 1:00 pm.

My husband and I have lost weight by exercising daily with P90X. It's a weight lifting and cardio combo program with a healthy diet. Swap out the white breads, rice and pastas for whole grains, whole wheat pastas, wild/brown rice. NO sodas, NO refined sugars, NO fats. Cook with olive oil and...

Chile, It'll catch up to you. Try to get some sleep. Homework has been taking 2 hours with my little one (1st grader) then I'm off to help the older kids with ELA, Geometry or Algebra. Wow! My head is spinning trying to get dinner ready in the middle of it all! Though I got dinner done by...

seared and broiled sirloin steak, mac & cheese, wild/brown rice, brocolli/colliflower/onion medley
