Wanted to make a few batches of salsa made from canned tomatoes to get us by until the tomatoes from the garden are ready. Has anyone ever froze salsa with good results? I have canning supplies, but wasn't sure about re-canning the tomatoes...plus I don't have the time right now to spend...

Have to bring a dish or two to the in-laws for lunch on Easter and also have a baby shower coming up that I am hosting and need a few ideas on what to make. The main dishes are taken care of so would need a type of side dish or appetizer. I usually make coleslaw (copycat of KFC's) or Cheesy...

Several of our local Mexican restaurants here serve a dish called Tacos Al Carbon that my husband loves. It's strips of marinated steak servered in soft corn tortillas. The beef tastes like it has been seasoned with something similar to A-1 steak sauce. I tried to recreate at home but the...

I developed a dislike for asparagus as a kid and have always avoided it. Could be due to the lemon jello with mushy asparagus in it that my grandmother used to make for holidays!! Anyway, was really hungry a few weeks ago and tried some (maybe steamed or roasted) asparagus spears on my plate...

My son is turning 7 next week and has requested a dinosaur-themed party. I have a Demarle tray that has cupcake-sized pyramid shapes, so thought I would make individual chocolate and vanilla "volcanoes" for each kid to decorate themselves. When everyone's finished, thought we could put all the...

Just curious if anyone did "once a month cooking" or "freezer cooking". I did a couple sessions at Dream Dinners last year and really liked the convenience of having ready-to-go meals in the freezer, however the price was pretty high and some of the items my picky DH didn't like. Can anyone...

My husband loves a candy from a local candy shop which they call, depending on the flavor, Lemon Ice, Lime Ice, Orange Ice or Raspberry Ice. It is creamy with tiny pieces of hard candy in it which are the same color and flavor as the base. It appears to be made by pouring the hot candy on...

I received a metal juicer shaped like a bird for my birthday and am not sure how to use it. The back part lifts up and has a row of little teeth toward the front, then the juice is supposed to pour out the beak. I tried to use it with a lemon to make chicken piccata, but the lemon kept falling...

Read an article in a magazine about how good pizza tastes when cooked on your BBQ grill and decided to try it. We've had two different ones over the last week and a half...pepperoni with roasted red and yellow bell peppers and a garlic parmesan chicken with green onion and both were awesome...

Have had some busy evenings lately, so was wondering what you all make when pressed for time?

Does anyone have a quick and easy recipe for making the "red sauce" that accompanies fried shrimp or BBQ'd pork at Chinese restaurants? Would also like to know how to make a restaurant copy of sweet and sour sauce. I haven't been impressed with the store-bought versions. Thanks!

I am fixing baked potatoes for a get-together tomorrow and wanted to do something a little different with them. I read somewhere about seasoning the outside with salt and oil...does anyone have a spin on plain baked potatoes?

I used to have a recipe long ago which was a layered casserole that I think was called Hamburger Macaroni Bake. It mixed parmesan or romano cheese, cooked macaroni, eggs and a few other ingredients. That was layered in the bottom of a casserole dish then topped with a ground beef mixture, then...

I am looking for a coleslaw recipe which called for mashed bananas in the dressing. Anyone heard of this? Thanks, Lori

My dad had mentioned several months ago that he had bought some macadamia nuts which were from a company in Australia and they were so much better than the Hawaiian nuts that are readily available here. However, the warehouse store he got them at only had them the one time and he hasn't seen...

Was curious as to where everyone purchases their meats...supermarket, meat market, etc.? I haven't been very impressed with our local grocery store's selections, but am not sure about what the best alternatives are. Any suggestions? Thanks!

My DH loves pico de gallo. I was wondering if anyone has a recipe I could "borrow"?

Back when I was a teenager, my family used to eat at a little Mexican restaurant that served what they called "sopapillas" for dessert. They were deep fried pieces of chewy dough which they served with honey buttter. They were SOOOO good, but it closed up years ago and I've never ran across...

I've been searching past threads, but wasn't able to find any homemade tamale recipes. Can someone please help? I have a craving!!
