Re: [CnD] Prepairing Ribs

2011-11-06 Thread V Jack
It is probably too late. But for the future, place the ribs in a pan and
cover with coke or pepsi. Let simmer on the stove in this for 2 hours. After
that take the meat out of the pan and place in a casserole dish or roasting
pan. Pour Sweet Baby Rays bar B Que sauce over the meat and heat in the oven
for 30 minutes on 350.

[CnD] Experiment with Green Tomatoes

I just had a success. I used my regular Zucchini bread recipe, but used 2
cups of grated green tomatoes instead of 2 cups of grated zucchini. Since
there was more green tomatoes then I knew what to do with, thought I would
try this. The bread is excellent, moist and my husband said taste and looks

Crockpot Sweet And Sour Shrimp

Easy sweet and sour shrimp recipe, made with frozen cooked shrimp, pea 
pods, and sweet and sour sauce mixture.

Ingredients:
. 1 package (6 ounces) frozen Chinese pea pods
. 1 can (12 to 14 ounces) pineapple tidbits in juice
. 2 tablespoons cornstarch
. 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
. 1 cup chicken broth
. 1/2 cup reserved pineapple juice
. 1 tablespoon soy sauce
. 1/2 tsp ground ginger
. 1 bag (12 to 16 ounces) frozen small to medium shrimp, cleaned and cooked
. 2 tablespoons cider vinegar . hot cooked rice

Preparation:
Put pea pods in a colander and run cold water over them until partially 
thawed -- enough to separate easily. Drain pineapple, reserving 1/2 cup of 
the juice.
Place pea pods and drained pineapple in slow cooker. In a small saucepan, 
stir together cornstarch and sugar; add chicken broth, reserved pineapple 
juice,
soy sauce, and ginger. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring, and cook sauce for

about 1 minute. The sauce should be thickened and clear. Gently blend sauce
into pea pods and pineapple. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 5 hours. Add the

thawed cooked shrimp; continue to cook 30 minutes longer, until heated 
through.
Add vinegar and stir gently.

Serve with hot cooked rice.

Re: [CnD] NO BAKE OATMEAL CLUSTERS

2011-03-20 Thread V Jack
I just checked my No Bake cookie recipe and yours is a lot the same. Mine
does call for 1 cup of coconut or 1 cup nuts. Mine also calls for 1/2 cup
water instead of milk. Did you boil the mix for a minute? That starts the
hardening process. The mixture should be about the consistency of cookie
dough, not hard enough to roll into balls but hard enough to make a mound on
the wax paper. It takes hours to dry and you have to turn them over part way
through the drying. I always use Old Fashion Oatmeal. If the humidity was up
that will make then slow to dry.

I could spoon them aned drop them on to the wax paper but the spread 
and ran together.

How thick should these be before they are dropped on to wax paper?  
Should they be thi9ck enough to form into balls that can be rolled in 
your hand for example?

Is jmy problem perhaps that I used regular oats?  I never buy quick

Re: [CnD] Fw: 15 Minute Chicken & Rice Dinner

2011-01-11 Thread V Jack
What this recipe is missing is spices. You can either use fresh onion and
garlic and sauté it with the chicken or you can use onion powder and garlic
powder. Also if those aren't spices you like just find something in your
spice rack that you and your husband like. I have made something similar,
but used a can of sliced mushrooms, and some sautéed celery and onions. It
is a good enough recipe if you get creative with it and add more spices to
meet your taste.  Have fun with it the next time you cook it.

Hi everyone,
I cooked this chicken and rice dinner for my husband and I tonight with a 
few minor variations. First, I did not brown the chicken breast halves 
whole, I cut them into small bite sized pieces.  Second, I did not remove 
the chicken from the skillet when it was browned, I added the soup and milk 
to the skillet with the chicken still in it, brought all that to a boil, 
then added the rice and broccoli, turned it down to low, and cooked for six 
minutes instead of five, because my rice usually doesn't get done in five 
minutes and usually needs just an extra minute. The meal was a success and 
very good, but my husband and I both thought it was just a little bit plain 
and didn't have a whole lot of flavor.  I'm not a very experienced cook, 
I've been cooking for a long time but don't know a whole lot about the art 
of cooking.  I'm looking for some tips from any of you more experienced 
cooks about what I can do to give this meal a little more flavor and make it

a little less plain.  Other than the fact it was kind of plain, I thought it

was very good, very easy to make, it just needs a little something extra. 
What do you guys think? The recipe follows below.
Thank you,
Brittany

Lasagna
 1 pound ground beef
1 can whole tomatoes 
2 small cans tomato paste 
1 tsp. Oregano 
Salt and pepper to taste 

1 chopped onion 
8 ounces cottage cheese 
1 egg 
1 pound mozzarella cheese (grated) 
Parmesan cheese 
Lasagna noodles (10 to 12 

Brown meat and drain fat, add chopped onions, whole tomatoes, tomato paste,
oregano and salt and pepper to taste. I usually will add a bit more spices,
like garlic and Italian seasoning. All depends on your taste. 
Simmer sauce for 1 hour. 
Cook and drain noodles 
Beat egg into cottage cheese 
Layer into a 9 by 12 casserole starting with sauce. Then noodles, sauce,
mozzarella cheese. I do three layers. If you do the middle layer with the
noodles going the narrow ways of the pan, it will slice much better when
served. 
End with spooning the cottage cheese mixture over the top, I just drop
spoonfuls on the top and then sprinkle with a little parmesan cheese. Bake
350 20 to 25 minutes. This is my personal recipe I have made for years. Hope
you like it. Do season the way you like it.

Hi,

I'm in the market for a smaller crockpot;  I don't even know how many quarts
ours is, because we've asked for sighted help with looking for that on the
unit itself, but it doesn't seem to have any numbers. I'm thinking it's
about a 6 or 7 quart pot! So, I'm looking for a smaller one;  I've seen 3.5
quart & 4 quart units;  sometimes, this one is just too big for what we're
cooking. I'm assuming that a 1.5 would be way too small? I saw one on
www.walmart.com for $22, which I think is a good price, but I just wanted
some opinions.  Of course, I want one with the removeable pot and easy
controls!

Re: [CnD] Minimizing Messes!

2010-10-13 Thread V Jack
There is a scraper tool that I use when I am done. I run it over the area
and it scrapes up all the flour or sugar or whatever has spilled on the
counter. It is flat with a rolled handle edge. It sort of works like a
spatula, but it is solid and you just run it over the surface. Often I hold
the garbage can up to the edge of the counter and just scrape into the can.

Hi,

Are there certain things you can put on the countertops to minimize messes,
when preparing batter for baking?  I inevitably find that the flour is so
fine and invariably sticks to everything, so I have to clean my counters
several times to get them clean. I've taken to putting in a bowl in one of
my sinks and preparing the batter in there;  in my opinion, this keeps
potential messes somewhat more contained. Just wondering what others of you
do, to combat this issue?

Well, the conversions are:

20 centimeters = 7.87401575 inches
And: 125 grams is equivalent to how many tablespoons? 
It equals 8.82 tbsp.

After boiling you can either bake or Bar B Q. To bake place in pan and

If grilling, brush on same sauce and grill for about 10 minutes. It really

Re: [CnD] Seeking Recipes for someone who must be on a low sodium diet

2010-03-15 Thread V Jack
My husband just had a heart attack and we are starting to work on the low
salt diet. A  couple of the things the dietician in the hospital told us was
if you are going to use canned vegetables, drain them first and rinse them.
When you cook them add your own water and seasonings, this gets a lot of the
salt out of the canned vegetables. She also said if you really think you
need the salt taste when you get a bottle of Mrs. Dash just open the lid and
add about a 1/2 teaspoon to the bottle and shake up. This way you get a
little salt taste, but most the Mrs. Dash seasonings.
Hope this helps a little. Vicki

Hello everyone,

Last week, my very close friend Terry who lives with me was diagnosed with 
Congestive Heart Failure. The doctor said it is absolutely crucial that he 
maintain a low sodium diet. I was wondering if anyone has any recipes that 
have low sodium in them? He must not go over 2,000 mg per day in sodium 
content. Some of the things he can have are potato salad and tuna salad, but

I looked at the ready made ones, and they are very high, containing about 
520 mg of sodium per serving, which is 1/3 of a cup. So I am looking for 
ways to make things from scratch that don't contain nearly as much in 
sodium. If anyone knows of any books that are available online that contain 
sample menus for someone on a low sodium diet to follow, please let me know 
that too. I greatly appreciate any help. Thanks.

Re: [CnD] Wanted Easy Great Mashed Potatoes

2010-01-25 Thread V Jack
There are a lot of ways to fix mashed potatoes. Make sure when you boil them
that you just have the water a little below the top of the potatoes. Too
much water and they can get mushy. When the potatoes are tender, drain them
immediately. then you can either use a electric mixer or a hand masher. The
main thing is to mash them so there aren't any lumps. Once the potatoes are
basically mashed you can start adding a little milk and butter. Start with a
little at a time. You can always add more but can't take it out. Sometimes
you can add sour cream or cream cheese. But for standard mashed potatoes use
milk and butter. I always add some garlic salt and of course pepper. If you
don't want the garlic taste just add salt. Also a little at a time. Keep
tasting until it is to your likings. I take extra time making sure all the
lumps are out. I love mashed potatoes so make them often. Enjoy.

I got this recipe from a cook book entitled :The best of cooking with 3
Ingredients". I actually tried this recipe last night and even my husband
said it was a keeper. 
Chicken and Rice Casserole 
1 6 Ounce box Long grain and Wild Rice Mix 
4 Boneless skinless chicken breast 
1 10 ounce can Cream of Mushroom soup 
In a greased 3 quart casserole dish combine rice and seasoning mix with 2
cups hot water. 
Place Chicken on top and cover 
Cook 1 1/2 hours at 350 degrees 
Dilute mushroom soup with 1/2 cup water , mix and then pour over the chicken

Bake another 20 minutes uncovered or until soup bubbles. Note: I seasoned
the chicken with pepper and garlic salt. Very simple recipe and tasty too.
