    Sage-flavored sausage for stuffing

    Hi Andy! She's used the Jimmy Dean and/or Bob Evans sage-flavored sausage rolls. They aren't sold as breakfast sausage, and the package ingredients aren't much help. They come in a 1 pound tube, frozen.

    Sage-flavored sausage for stuffing

    The wife usually makes the Thanksgiving stuffing and it's really good! It's got sage-flavored sausage and herb croutons, etc. I'm on this kick where I want to make as many things from scratch as possible so I've asked her not to buy the bagged croutons or sage sausage roll yet until I see if...

    Homemade crackers

    Hello, I am going to try the following recipe and it appears the "toughest" part might be rolling the dough out as flat as possible. Could I try laying the dough out on one baking sheet, then covering with parchment, then taking a second baking sheet and pressing really hard on top of the first...

    Rye bread: whole or ground caraway? Or both?

    Want to make some rye bread, for the first time. Poking around online I see that some places suggest ground caraway in the dough mix then whole caraway seeds on top. However most if not all of the recipes I've been finding just mention caraway seeds and I assume whole. What do you suggest? And...

    Hoagie rolls

    Hi buckytom, I am in western NY (near Rochester). Very few if any places around here call them heroes or baguettes. :) All of the deli and sandwich shops call them subs. Thanks everyone for the helpful advice!

    Hoagie rolls

    I might consider getting something like that. But what is the proper method to take a ball of dough and elongate it into the proper hoagie shape?

    Hoagie rolls

    Around here we call them sub rolls but hoagie rolls seems to be what the "universal" term is. I am fairly new to breadmaking and have been working on my rolls. Sandwich or burger style rolls aren't too bad, flattening, folding, then rolling/shaping into round balls. But I can't seem to make a...

    Italian Bread Crust not Smooth

    My next attempt came out much better!! Nice round, smooth loaf, quite tasty. Thanks for the help!! Now I need to find out how the breads different Italian bakeries around here can have such different flavors. I mean, there's only so many ingredients in Italian bread!

    Italian Bread Crust not Smooth

    Thank you, can't wait to try another loaf! Approximately how many times would I fold the edges into the center? I guess I don't expect a number but I would assume more than just a couple or few?

    Italian Bread Crust not Smooth

    Tried making a nice round loaf of Italian bread. I used a dough recipe from the book that came with my bread maker. And the end of the 70 minute cycle it had me put the dough in a greased bowl and let it rest for 25 minutes, then it said to punch it down and then form a round ball, then let that...

    Canadian bacon!

    Sure will! This was my first attempt and so far all reviews are positive. The ratio for the dry cure I used is: 1 TBS Tender Quick 1 TBS brown sugar or Turbinado sugar 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp granulated garlic all per pound of meat. I've seen similar recipes that add black pepper, that use no...

    Canadian bacon!

    I finally did it! Something I've been wanting to do for some time now is make Canadian bacon (I've since learned it's really "back bacon" but around here it's what you get if you order Canadian bacon at a diner or buy it at the store). When I learned how easy it was it was just a matter of...

    It was pretty good, kids ate it so it can't be all bad!

    What's the status of your freezer?

    Nice work! I have an idea what's in the freezer... But a list is a good idea and would help plan meals.

    Tuesday 2/8/2011, What's on your plate?

    Sure! Outrageous Ham Steak Sauce (Bbq) recipe Smells like a nice BBQ sauce, interesting combo with ketchup and mustard, and then the hot sauce and Worcestershire. I ended up making a loaf of Portuguese sweet bread too. :chef:

    Tuesday 2/8/2011, What's on your plate?

    I went with the chicken option yesterday so I think today is the ham steaks. Saw a recipe online for "Outrageous Ham Steak Sauce" that I want to try. Cole slaw in the fridge, and maybe some sweet corn off the cob.

    Can't get enough of pasta...

    My only issue with pasta is I can't stop eating it once I start. I've dropped 45 lbs in the past year and the typical 3 huge helpings with sauce, meatballs, sausage, etc. doesn't help the cause!!

    Monday, 2/7/2011, What's cooking?

    LOL ok, if I go that way I will take pics!! A kimmelweck is a regional thing, very popular in the Buffalo area. "Beef on Weck" can be had at practically every restaurant. Similar to a French Dip but I would get smacked for saying that. The roll itself is like a Kaiser roll but with course...

    Monday, 2/7/2011, What's cooking?

    Depending on how busy the day is, I have pulled out of the freezer: ham steaks boneless chicken breasts for a casserole or caesar salad tri-tip roast for sliced beef sammies (been craving these!!) If I go with the beef I need to run to the store because I would want the sammies on kimmelweck...

    It's good to be back! I was away for a bit... Pulled pork leftover from a couple butts I did on New Years, corn stripped from the cob and frozen from the fall, and KFC cole slaw. Oh and I made rolls for the pork sammies!

    What's Cooking Tuesday 1/18/11

    Yesterday was a washout, ended up at the doctor's office all evening with my son who broke his hand. Sigh. To help with the stress I've decided to make a pot of sauce today. Meatballs and sausage ready to go. Can't wait to fill the house with the aroma of tomatoes and garlic and onions, and...

    Diners, Drive-ins and Dives

    I wish they didn't. Independent places like those featured on Triple D blow away the fast foot chains. It's a real shame too because the big boys have the billions to flood the airwaves with advertising, marketing to kids and busy parents. The amount of "unknown" ingredients that these places...
