Peanut butter and grape jelly!

My absolute favorite is the beef vegetable and barley soup that I make. A little marsala wine completes the soup. I used to make it to take to work for lunches.

Chief Longwind of the North, you can go to this website: Contact Us | RedRobin.com and let the corporate office know about your experience at that Red Robin. It's not like tattling, it's like letting the business know they have a problem. I've never had a problem at a Red Robin and I've been...

I have a Mexican recipe that I found on the internet for Carne Alhambre which basically is made up of diced bacon, finely diced onion, tender meat, and bell pepper strips -- I use a couple of colors -- that are stir fried together. At the bottom of the page there was a suggestion to marinate...

If you still have one of the burned pans, put 1 1/2 cups of water in the pan, add 1 tablespoon of baking soda and bring the solution to a boil. As soon as the solution is boiling, remove the pan from the heat, put a lid on the pan, set it aside for a couple of days or so, then empty the pan and...

I would be a wife and mother in a home where there are no money worries and the rest of the family would eat whatever I cooked with no complaints. Of course the kitchen would be large and really well equipped so I would have the tools that I would need to cook whatever I wanted.

Thanks for doing all that work. I have a recipe program that does that stuff for me and it helps me a lot. Speaking only for me, looking at just the carbs, a one inch slice of the pound cake would have 48 grams of carbohydrates. I average 45 grams of carbohydrates for each meal I eat. If I...

Please be aware that I'm only writing for myself. I'm a Type II diabetic and count grams of carbohydrates to help control it. For me, the flour isn't that big of a problem, but ripe bananas and raisins have a lot of natural sugar which means that there are a lot of carbohydrates in them. I...

Oops. Maybe I don't belong here. My favorite camping dinner is a can of New England bake beans and hot dogs where the weiners are cooked on a stick over hot coals. My favorite breakfast was fried salmon steaks from a salmon that was caught the day before; it was my dad who caught the salmon...

I had 80 cookbooks before we came to Mexico the first time. When it was time to come again, I brought maybe a dozen. I have added to my cookbooks since I've been here. I also search the internet and have great fun finding new things to try. Oh, and reading is good for the brain, as is trying...

I'm sorry about your parents. Being there with them must have been really hard for you, but underneath it all I"m sure they were glad to have you there helping. And you could be depressed with reason. It might help to look at your life and how you live it. Think about what it takes to...

My mother had a three-tined "granny fork" that she got from her grandfather, and she used it while I was growing up until it was ready to fall apart. This fork was built like a knife, in that the shank went straight down through the handle to the bottom of the fork. In 1968 or so, I found a...

I wouldn't use an on-line shopping service even if it was offered here. When I was a kid, Friday night was grocery shopping night because my mom didn't drive at that time. It was always so much fun to walk through the store and see what was there. I was too young to even think about saving...

Back in the days when I actually made layer cakes, I would cut circles of waxed paper by placing a clean pan on waxed paper, then running a line around the pan. I then cut out the circle just inside the line I had drawn. I first greased the pan with shortening, put in a waxed paper circle...

I don't remember when it happened, but "they" said margarine was not good for you because of the oils and fats, so the manufacturers started adding water to the product to replace I don't know how much of the fat. Before moving here to Mexico, I used Nucoa because it was labeled margarine when...

I always thought the pronunciation depended on what part of the country you live in, or where your parents came from.

Texture is really important to me. I don't eat liver, tongue or raw oysters because of the texture. Here in Leon, there's a lot of chicarron which is pig skin. They boil small squares of it in a soup or other dishes, and I won't touch it because my stomach doesn't allow me to do that, it'll...

Or, if you only want your meat loaf occasionally you could go to a meat market if there's one in your area. I started going to mine when they actually sold a pot roast with the bone still in it -- imagine that -- but they had really good lean ground beef that I used for years and years and...

Another thing you might do is compare a biscuit recipe with a cake recipe. Not only are the ingredients different, but the way they are put together is also different.

When we bought our second microwave a timer was included on the control panel. Due to circumstances beyond our control, after we wold that one every other microwave we've had includes a timer. Whereas I can't time three things at once, all of them have been extremely easy to use and worked...

I use a paste of baking soda and water for stainless steel too. I had a really bad "oops!" on the stainless steel top of my stove. I let the baking soda past sit for 36 hours at a time and the oops came off by layers, but it did all come off and I have no scratches on my stove top.

You might try to find a second hand Vita-Mix that hasn't been used much. If you looked closely enough you might even find a late model still in the box.

I marinate chicken breasts in 3 parts limeade concentrate to 1 part tequila with a little garlic powder added for one to two hours then grill the breasts. I also drain the marinade into a saucepan, bring it to a boil and let it simmer for 10 minutes to kill all the bugs. It makes a great sauce...

I can also read a recipe and sort of taste it. When it comes to baking raw rice, I have a TNT recipe that works every time. I've even modified the recipe to use half raw brown rice and pearl barley. When I want to make a recipe with baked rice I make sure there's enough liquid included in the...

I didn't like them, but my mother and sister had to have pickled crab apples with Thanksgiving dinner.
