I've been altering this recipe for years. Last night, the grandson and I did this together, and I think it was the best yet. Of course everyone likes something different, but y'all might give it a try and let me know what you think! I think the Brook's beans make the difference...use the hot...

Last year this time, I was hovering in the valley of death. Thanks to prayers from many good people, strong genes from my ancestors, and the fact that my work here is not finished, I am STILL HERE! I have not had a cigarette since then, and have not been tempted. That, in itself, is something...

Thought I'd try something different tonight. I'm going to pound out boneless chicken breasts and stuff them with ricotta, spinach, etc like manicotti, except no noodles. Then I'll put them in a baking dish, ladle on some spaghetti sauce, and bake. Will cook a little pasta to go with. What do...

Last week I went to a grocery store in a larger town, and found two semi-new varieties of cauliflower, one purple and one golden. I have heard that the purple will turn green when cooked, while the golden will stay the same. I wonder what experiences you all have had with these varieties, and...

I have a smallish spaghetti squash (just about the right size for 2 people) sitting on the counter, waiting to be cooked. We had it with just butter, salt, pepper and garlic, as a side dish, at a friends home, and DH liked it. But when I fixed it at home, with spaghetti sauce, he and the...

I have noticed that after pork has been in the freezer for a while, it gets a funky taste. It isn't spoiled, and DH doesn't notice the taste, but I do. He roasted a piece of loin last night that has that taste, and I'm wondering what I can do to disquise that. Anyone have any ideas?

This recipe is a fixer-upper. The stuffing could be more flavorful, and I wasn't so crazy about the crm of shroom sauce. But back then, they used crm of shroom on everything back then. I would suggest searing the steak roll, adding the remaining broth instead of the soup, and turning it into a...
