I love this cookbook not only because I love all of the Little House novels but also the recipes are so simple. They didn't have a lot of variety to cook with in those times but nevertheless ate so...

From what I've learned from baking yeasted and sourdough breads, you actually increase the baking temp when doing smaller loaves. Larger loaves need need to be cooked lower and slower because it ta...

I have made the beet pasta recipe before with good results. The beet flavor wasn't very strong (probably due to all the butter) which makes it a good way to introduce beets to people who don't usua...

At what altitude do these modifications go into effect? What do you consider 'high altitude'? cthom19- I've always understood the general rule with cooking beans was not to add s...

I hate mushrooms (like a lot of people here it seems). I wouldn't really care except that so often they are the go-to vegetarian staple at restaurants. The mushroom ravioli or risotto veg option ne...

7lina7- I'm wondering if it would be ok to put it in a tupperware container and freeze it if you have a large quantity. I would at least take it out of the original can wh...

I second the bread-making for it. There is a recipe in The Handmade Loaf by Dan Lepard that uses pickle juice.

Polenta is one of my favorite breakfasts lately. I usually eat a big bowl of it with a little bit of butter and honey/agave nectar. Sometimes I treat it more like oatmeal and add raisins, although ...

I made a delicious Spring Miso Soup with asparagus, edamame, wild garlic leaves, spring onions, and udon noodles. I thought I was done with soup now that the winter is over, but this o...

Mejdu, I was thinking of printing it once on thicker paper and having it laminated. Then using a dry erase marker. Then you wouldn't have to repeatedly print it.

I thought it would be a good idea to chop and freeze some of the veggies that come in my veg box so that I didn't have to rush to use them all up before going bad. But in the freezer they are out o...

I use a basket for two reasons: 1. I am only shopping for one person and therefore 2. If it doesn't fit in a basket then I can't afford it all. Added bonus: carrying my gro...

Tahini. I use it in everything now! I make a sauce/dressing with tahini, garlic, lemon juice and zest, salt, pepper, olive oil and honey (if I want it sweet) and put it on grains, salads, vegetable...

I use dates as a healthier way to satisfy my sweet tooth. I used to eat a lot of candy and now when I crave something sweet, I eat some dates instead. I find the dried ones to have a much more inte...
