Hey! I'm also planning to make meatball subs with leftover meatballs! Good times. Also making a batch of mini coffee cakes to give to my co-workers as thank you gifts for their patience with recent...
I made an easy potato cauliflower curry roast that is great with rice or lentils, or just on its own. You basically toss potatoes and cauliflower with a little oil, coconut milk, curry powder, and ...
@preppycuisine Manure is hardly the only concern for people in choosing between organically and conventionally grown produce.
And wow, the attacks are kind of unnecessary, don't you th...
I must admit, it's a long road moving from fear of bugs to acceptance of them in your produce. The rationale that produce is from nature and bugs are often around it while it's growing makes total ...
@amycywang Yes! About a 1/2 teaspoon of sugar usually works for me to balance acidity, especially if it's tomato acidity. I think cream/dairy can also balance acidity.

The breakfast restaurant in which I worked after college used turmeric to season their home fries. They were the best home fries and it took me years to figure out that it was turmeric, because the...

A bunch of snobs? Perhaps...but I'd think with the discussions around here about eating naturally, locally, and healthfully, it wouldn't be a surprise that a majority of respondents (including myse...
We've been battling mice for over a year now. I keep every kind of food item we have in glass jars or hanging from baskets from the ceiling. We've set every kind of trap imaginable and haven't caug...
In California, as mentioned, you can buy all types of alcohol in grocery stores. And, surprise! We still have terrific liquor stores and wine boutiques. In fact, I think it provides incentive for l...
I'd like to know how people do this without absolutely destroying your knees. I've done it once, and was in pain for days afterwards. And I'm just not sure I'm ready to wear kneepads for cleaning. ...
The problem arises when you start kidding yourself that processed organic is healthy and better for you than other foods and you allow yourself to eat it more often. I understand there are times wh...
