My mother's recipe, which Mr. BB and I prefer, sounds like Luvs Food's mother's recipe, but the kids don't like hardboiled eggs, so if they're going to eat it, I make it the way Bangbang makes his. One recipe that we all agree on is this version of German potato salad, served warm. Yes, it...

We take the pup with us so now we have short days in the car, only about 500 - 550 miles per day. When our kids were growing up we went on road trips every summer. When they were small and could sleep in the car, we'd leave about 7:00 p.m. on a Friday and travel 1200 or 1300 miles before...

Ah ... road trips. Mr. BB and I just got back from a 2-month winter road trip. A couple of weeks in the Keys, a couple of weeks in New Orleans, time in the Texas Hill country and New Mexico before heading home.

I found an excellent cookbook, not only for the recipes (300 of them), but also for the rotisserie cooking tips. It's called "The Ultimate Rotisserie Cookbook" by Diane Phillips.

That sounds good, pdswife1. If your pork roast is lean, it is recommended that you brine it first when you cook it in a dry heat, such as a rotisserie, to keep it juicy and tender. A 3 pound roast is recommended to be brined for 4-6 hours.

This is a basic rub recipe that is great for chicken (among other things): 1/4 cup kosher salt 1/4 cup sweet paprika 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar 1 tablespoon granulated garlic 1 tablespoon granulated onion 2 teaspoons celery salt. Combine to blend...

We've had a Showtime rotisseries for over 2 years now and just love it. We use it once a week, sometimes more. Any recipes that come included with the instructions are very basic. What would you like to try? I've done chicken, turkey, beef roast, boneless leg of lamb, stuff filet mignon...

I just checked and the Donna Rathmell German bread machine cookbooks appear to be available through Amazon for between $8 - $9 apiece.

SierraCook, I have the same books by Donna Rathmell German, as well as #6. They are good basic books.

I made corned beef for the first time a while back. I agree that it certainly wasn't difficult. The hardest part was remembering to turn it over each day while it was brining. I also didn't use the saltpeter and the grey colour was very off-putting for me, so much so that I didn't taste it...

The next is Mediterranean style, with lemon, garlic and rosemary. Grated lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, lots of garlic cloves, fresh rosemary, salt and freshly ground black pepper. These are the marinade ingredients. Untie the deboned leg of lamb and marinate in the above ingredients for...

We love lamb, and here's a couple of versions of leg of lamb that we cook on the rotisserie. The first recipe develops a crust when rotisseried. Marinate the roast for 6 to 24 hours in garlic marinade, using olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, a little salt and fresh ground black...

I have the Cuisinart unit as well, and share mudbug's opinion. Good results. Good price, too. As soon as I empty the freezer bowl, I clean it and put it back in the deep freeze, ready for the next time.

I've given up actually making their lunches myself. They're 22 and 19, and in university. I make available pita pockets and tortillas (to make wraps) for my daughter, who detests bread, and a multi-grain bread for my son, who loves bread. I rarely buy cold cuts, so on Sunday evening, I'll...

The recipe does indeed call for canned asparagus. Now that I can get fresh asparagus for most of the year, I don't use canned. I find them too soggy. I steam the fresh asparagus until they are tender-crisp.

My all-time favourite is Hot Asparagus Roll-Ups. This recipe freezes well. Preheat Oven to 400 degrees. 20 slices thin white bread 3 oz. blue cheese, softened 8 oz. cream cheese 1 egg beaten 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/2 cup finely chopped green onions Asparagus...

Shrimp wrapped in bacon. I got this recipe out of an old softcover cookbook that I bought many years ago. The book long since fell apart and I cannot remember if it is the exact recipe or if I've modified it, but it's always among my favourite hors d'oeuvres. I use a pound of bacon, with...

Definitely dinner. No one in the family is a breakfast eater unless on vacation. Too rushed, I guess. The same with lunch.

There aren't many cookbooks out there, that I've found, but there is one good one. It's called "The Ultimate Rotisserie Cookbook" by Diane Phillips. The recipes are specifically for these machines. There's lots of tips and really good recipes to work from. We've used our machine for...

How did your chicken turn out, tancowgirl? I bought a rotisserie a couple of years ago, and we use it all the time. Love it. Especially in the winter when it's harder to BBQ. I bought the Ronco Showtime larger model because it can cook up to a 15-pound turkey. I buy a utility grade turkey...

For beef dip or a French dip sandwich, I use a cheaper cut of roast that I would use for pot roast, a cross-rib roast, or a chuck roast, for example. I haven't cared for the results I've had with my crock pot either. I finally found a pot roast recipe on the net that was perfect. Rather...
