Thanks for all the great ideas! My mouth is watering right now.

Chicken tortilla soup in the slow cooker, my recipe.

Hi, I'm new here and I saw this thread while looking for any mention of fresh figs. I've never eaten one and I would really like to expand my palate experience. As an American, my experience eating figs was as the filling of a soft cookie. I love the idea of a slice of fresh fig with goat...

I'm looking for a really good tuna salad recipe that I can pack in my teen daughter's lunch, but one without curry (she really doesn't like it...sigh...so young and foolish). Does anyone have a good all -purpose tuna salad recipe? With mayo please, I don't have MW or that type of dressing in...

fresh carrots, celery and onion seem to take way too long to cook. I dice them fairly small and put on the bottom,under meat and other vegetables and liquid. Ditto with dried beans.

I want to try this recipe! Do you just use a regular raw egg and take your chances? I guess I've been lucky but I've never been sickened in 53 years of eating the occasional undercooked or raw egg. What about using one of those liquid egg products? I'm hoping to find my HG (holy grail) salad...

Just joined this site and looking forward to learning from the experts! I'm a divorced mom of three teen/early 20's kids, working temp while I job hunt for a full time position after a long time at home (yup, good luck with that). I'm trying to eat healthier and simpler, less processed foods...

It seems that whenever I use my slow cooker to make soup or stew, at the end of the recommended cook times the meat is tender and falling apart but the vegetables are still al dente. Is this just the way it is, or is my crockpot not working properly? I've attempted to make baked beans from...
