I asked the same question recently when everyone seemed to be giving birth. I wound up making pans of enchiladas and quiches. Both freeze well in individual portions.
@stink: I've used the whey in bread making and boiling pasta. When that's not practical, I feed some to the cats and dump the rest on my compost pile. Some people drink it, but I can't say I'm a ...
I pickle, can, dry and freeze a lot, but there is a limit. Frozen broccoli and cauliflower taste great in soups and quiches, but otherwise don't do much for me in recipes. I'd never touch them ca...
Pah! This article makes it way too expensive and difficult. I've done this with a tube of welded wire fencing and straw (we have both for our chickens). Easy, and nearly free.
Great ideas! For us, we make granola and yogurt at home. Once you get used to it, they're both easy and quick. Steps can be done while cooking something else.
What about cast iron dutch ovens with legs for camping? We use one when rafting all the time. It enables us to use coals for baking or roasting, and you can stack them:: main dish (say, lasagne) ...
I've canned a few things, and am ready to branch out and do some experimentation. Specifically, I've been on a quest for a sweet chili-garlic sauce to can. I haven't found one, and am ready to in...
Option 1: Slice 1/4" thick, dip in egg, then in seasoned cornmeal (I like a little hot pepper). Fry 'em up in plenty of oil. This method nearly eliminates the slime factor and is very tasty.
We toss in seeds. It's hard to get the compost pile hot enough to kill them, but I enjoy the volunteers. We have several mystery squash plants growing out of last year's compost bin.

Ours is in the garage. And it's upright, which adds the option of putting stuff on top of it. Otherwise a chest freezer would wind up taking up so much space.
I love making tempura with a group. Some cut veggies, some make sauce. You can do an assembly line of sorts with the dipping and frying. It can be messy, but that's part of the fun.
The way I see it, everyone needs at least three bikes: a mountain bike (for long rides), a road bike (for trail riding) and a cruiser (for looking cute). I also have a single-speed for commuting t...

Upright all the way! 'Cause you can put stuff on top of it.
I just can't figure out what color to paint my (now white) cabinets. The rest of the kitchen is bright Mexican yellow and green. Will send pics!
Made these last night (the NYM version) and YUM! Highly recommended. Matched them up with the browned butter ice cream and it was to die for.

I love it pan roasted in butter, olive oil and plenty of garlic. Let it sit for a bit before turning to get it a wee bit browned. Yum.
Plenty of red wine and plenty of garlic. Bay leaf.
Pickles!
Mad props to the Tufts Dept of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning! So cool!

We use a small bucket from the donut shop (apparently it's what filling comes in) with a plate for a lid. Works great, and was free.
