    Easy Chocolate Pudding Recipe

    I am looking for an easy chocolate pudding recipe and I was hoping you all could help me. My girlfriend has a recipe that she likes to make, but I find that it is a bit too grainy for me. I guess I am looking for a recipe that most resembles pudding from Snack Pack, which is creamy and smooth...

    Brown Sugar in chili

    Not to sound nit-picky, but how much is exactly a pot? Whenever I make chili I use a 4-quart pot and fill it about 3/4 quarters of the way. Should I add more or less than a tablespoon of brown sugar to this size pot?

    Favorite Beet Recipe?

    Everything in this salad are my mom's favorites, especially the goat cheese and orange segments. Maybe I can get my mom to add a few beets and slowly get her used to them! Thanks for your post :smile:

    Looking for Spring Roll Recipe

    My mom gave me an amazing recipe for spring rolls. Check it out at my blog here. What I like most about this recipe is that it was not only fun to make, but it was delicious as well! I like recipes where there can be some friend or family member involvement- Nothing makes cooking better than...

    Best Sweet Wines?

    Where can I find a French Sauterne or German Eiswein for sale? Would I have to go to an online site, or would a local liqueur store do? Perhaps a store that specializes in wine? How can I tell if a Riesling is harvested during the late season?

    Favorite Beet Recipe?

    Ah, as I thought: Fresh is usually better! I'll be sure to try both kinds just in case, assuming they are on sale. Thanks for the reply~

    Favorite Beet Recipe?

    Did you find canned beets to be on par taste wise with fresh beets? When should I go canned vs fresh?

    Best Sweet Wines?

    Which sweet wines do you all prefer? I have a soft spot for white wines, but I I enjoy a nice glass of red wine on occasion. Recently, I've been interested in Riesling, so if you have a favorite brand I'd love to hear them.

    Favorite Beet Recipe?

    This seems like a nice recipe to make, thanks for sharing! Do you serve it with anything in particular? Thanksgiving screams mashed potatoes to me, but would beets pair well with rice (white or brown)? Regarding what larry_stewart mentioned, thanks for the heads up! I could not imagine...

    Favorite Beet Recipe?

    With the farm stand season winding down I decided to head to a local one before it was too late; after browsing through a few vegetables I came across some freshly picked beets and realized that I have never had beets before. I know people usually have beets for Thanksgiving, but I guess my...

    Potato Cheese Balls

    I baked them at 375 degrees. Also, I wondered if leaving them in the oven longer would do the trick, but the inside of the one I tasted was already hot enough; I feared that if I let them stay in there longer then they would either become too dry or worse.

    Potato Cheese Balls

    I have decided to make these Cheesy Potato Balls and I must say they came out to be absolutely delightful! Actually, I ended up making them twice because I was told that they needed something a little bit extra. What was the answer to this problem: Bacon. I decided to add bacon bits and let...

    Nuts and Bolts

    I have never heard of Nuts & Bolts, but this sounds like it would make a tasty alternative to my typical granola for when I go hiking. Being new to DC myself it is great to see how friendly the community seems. I cannot wait to read more of the amazing recipes and topics you all discuss!

    Daring Daylight Robbery

    I have never heard of a peanut butter and honey sandwich. Is this a GA specific meal, or just something that your family eats? I am from southern MA and this is definitely not a common meal here; if it is I guess I am out of the loop!

    Kimbap Recipe From Egypt - Korean Cuisine

    Do you serve kimbap by itself as the main dish or do you serve it with something else?

    Kimbap Recipe From Egypt - Korean Cuisine

    My girlfriend LOVES Korean food, so I cannot wait to try and make this for her. I never realized how many of the meals I have had growing up only had one or two vegetables. Even if there are not a lot of them, I have noticed that other countries seem to have dishes that utilize quite a few...

    Potato Cheese Balls

    This looks really good and seems fairly simple to make! Lately I have been on a frying binge, so this recipe seems perfect for me. I'll have to split the recipe in half and see if it works equally as well when baked compared to frying. Thanks for sharing!

    Turnips

    I have never heard of mashed turnips, is this something that is common for Thanksgiving dinner? I personally have only had turnips in soup, but even then it was a rare occurrence.

    Daring Daylight Robbery

    I am amazed that you actually have a bee hive! I have always considered getting bees for their honey, but am deathly afraid of bees (the one childhood trip to the hospital from a bee sting probably did not help!). Does the suit you wear really keep the bees out and keep you safe? Also, you...

    Cook once per Week? Month?

    If my girlfriend had her way she would bake bread every day and freeze all of it! She loves baking bread, but sometimes we cannot eat it all in time before she makes another batch! I have never heard of freezing beef stroganoff (I actually just made it this past weekend). While it does not...

    Cook once per Week? Month?

    Planning on Having Little Time to Cook What I like to do is make a rice dish in bulk, that way I will have plenty of food for throughout the week: my go to dish is rice, beans and chicken (a staple in my household growing up). Recently I made a beef and potato soup that ended up yielding much...
