I believe the next time I am in the store I will look and see if they offer the Sutter Home 4 pack or maybe another company has something like this. This would be perfect to purchase and use. I imagine I could also use the wine to make spritzers with if need be. Since my husband has an...

I've also started making my own stock. My youngest son loves the rotisserie chickens at Wal-Mart and once we get them home I skin it, pick the meat off and then use the bones to do my own chicken stock. With just a few herbs thrown in it makes a great stock for use in soups. And doing it this...

I agree and that is troubling. Sure some of those deep South dishes have high fat content but, I am sure that if other countries could get a taste of American cuisine they would revise the opinion that fast food is the only cuisine in this country. I have noticed though that when you attend...

Everyone has been very helpful. It is a scary but, exciting thought of stepping out of my cooking comfort zone into a cuisine that I am unfamiliar with. Here in West Virginia we have a winery and they have some excellent wines. I believe I will take a look at their website and see if I can...

I don't use a bread machine. I do as my ancestors have done in the past. I usually mix my dough in the evening and after the second kneading leave it to raise over night. Then in the morning I bake it. I've never had a problem and since the bread doesn't last long in my house I have no need...

Thank you Nick. My husband and I are new to wines but, your advice has been extremely helpful. The sauce I am attempting is a Lemon Basil sauce and it calls for white wine. I will look in my local wine store for a good Pinot or Sauvignon Blanc. I am sure that the store has some experts that...

I agree with Goodweed. American cooking is more than fast food restaurants. Think of the deep South where you get Pecan Pie, Southern Fried Chicken, Buttermilk Biscuits, and Okra. Then in the mountains you have good old mountain cooking like Chicken and Dumplings, brown beans and cornbread...

I use steel for everything except for some vegetables. My mother got me a ceramic knife for Christmas and I use it for my salad chopping. I like the ceramic for this chore but, when it comes to dicing and quick chopping that most cooks need to do I always use the chef's knife that was a gift...

Thanks so much. I now have to find a store that sells this type of wine and buy it. My husband and I just started drinking wine on a daily basis for our health. We usually have a glass in the evening after the kids are in bed and have tried all kinds of red wines but haven't found one we like...

I've made chicken and dumplings for years and I never use chicken stock. Instead I use chicken bouillon. 2 cubes for each chicken breast and then if I need to add water I put in two more. It saves on having to keep chicken stock in the cabinet and bouillon cubes last quite a while and you can...

If I know I am going to use the lettuce quickly then I go ahead and cut it up and store it in the fridge in water that I add just a pinch of salt to. Then when it is time to use the lettuce I use a colander and pour the lettuce into it. Rinse it off to get off excess salt water and then put it...

My husband found some Italian recipes he is wanting to try and since I am up for any type of cooking I can't wait to dive right in. My only problem is that although I have cooked a variety of dishes I haven't cooked anything dealing with wine since I took a gourmet cooking class while in High...
