Hey, 24 hours later and they are still pretty soft. They did call for a fair amount of butter, so I'm wondering if that it's what did it? I mean they are delicious, but I would have liked them to be a bit firmer..

I just made my first batch of oatmeal cookies from scratch, they came out very soft and spongey granted I JUST pulled them from the oven and they are cooling as I type this. They smell GREAT, but they are very soft.. will they firm up? Did I do something wrong? : (

www.allrecipes.com is a great resource for recipes. (no pictures tho, sorry) BUT they have EVERYTHING there. Every recipe is rated by stars (from zero to four stars). You can also check feedback that other users have left for particular recipes. This is very important because more often than...

I've got a single ripe banana sitting in my fruit bowl that's just itchin to be thrown into a recipe somewhere. I don't have a standing mixer (yet), so that limits what I can do. I don't even have an electric hand mixer. I do have a lotta elbow grease tho : ) Suggest away!

I eat really healthily (at least during the week, then I slack off on sunday). I eat a lot of brown rice, and I prepare it with water and a dash of salt. I'm looking for suggestions about spices or herbs (or anything tastey and healthy) that I can add for variety. I won't use butter or any...

Lobster Bisque? Anyone have a killer lobster bisque recipe? I'm looking for something along the lines of a Ruth's Chris Steakhouse lobster bisque. Nice and creamy, nothing exotic.

Hi molly, I believe I know the recipe you are asking about. I actually just finished eating a batch of them : ) Here's how I make them: This will yield 2 pancakes, so adjust your ingredients accordingly: 1/2 cup nonfat cottage cheese (don't worry about using the nonfat, you won't taste it)...

Well, I'm only a couple of years late on this thread, but here goes nothin. If I'm feeling fancy I like to toast some pecans and throw them onto a salad. I haven't made that for ages, but let me see if I can remember how to do it. I usually melt some butter in a cup. Just enough to evenly...

Hi linda. I'd love to see the recipe if it wouldn't be too much trouble : )

I wouldn't want to eat off of anything that I chemically treated beforehand :?

In my case, I'd be substituting the extract in my pancakes. I eat the oatmeal pancakes listed in the bread forum on here. I eat them everyday, so I like finding different ways to spruce them up. I use 1/8 tsp. of the stuff. I thought it might be fun to try something else. The only other...

Can I substitue other extracts for vanilla?

I guess it's just the way that I cook, or the types of dishes that I prepare. But 70% of what I make requires that I regulate temperature while cooking (usually between ingredients), and I've found that these pans take MUCH longer than the Calphalons that I was using before I moved (which were...

Thank you. Now I finally have an excuse to upgrade from my 6qt. stock pot : )

Thanks for the input. I went to Walmart and they had a nice 14 pc. Chicago Cutlery set for 29 dollars, so I went with that. Didn't include a bread knife :cry: but other than that it's nice enough. Now it's time to save up for some Calphalon : )

I wouldn't go that far.. yeastless bread is very different. If all you compare it to the likes of french or sourdough bread, sure it's going to seem very odd. That said, not everything has to be a big puff of nothingness to be tastey. Try not to limit your thinking strictly in terms of good...

It actually sounds pretty spot on for your dietary restrictions. Give it a shot :)

Sorry to have found this so late, I hope this will still be of some use to you. There are a few things that I would suggest trying. First one is either reduce oven temperature to 350, or cut back on cook time to 10 minutes (or even try both). Second off, how are you making the cookies? Are...

Are any of you familiar with the Kirkland stainless steel cookware line? It's essentially a carbon copy of the Emeril Lagasse All-Clad stainless steel line. I really don't like it. It has like an extra layer of steel on the very bottom, and all it accomplishes is that it takes longer for the...

Oldcoot, I agree with you 100%. However it sounds like we cook different types of rice. I only eat whole grain brown rice, so I prepare it much like you do. Except, I bring the water to a boil add a couple of dashes of salt, and then stir in the brown rice. I immediately reduce heat to low...

I know you've seen the last night infomercials for these knives. They cut everything from concrete blocks to soda cans with them, and they can still slice cleanly through a tomato. You can get a "25 pc. set" from www.ronco.com for 39.99. I know this goes against all the rules of the cost of...

Dove, there's a fair amount of carbs in it. According to my cylinder of oats, 1 cup contains about 54g (216 calories) of carbs in it. There's also a small amount from the cottage cheese. That said, keep in mind that the yield of this recipe is two servings. I myself did the body for life...
