I am a Mom of 3 , I LOVE to cook and I am always looking for the BEST recipes!! :)
ROTFL ,TOO funny !!! I will try the gloves and the towel trick and see - Let ya know in a minute.
@karmafreecooking I will look to see if the stores here have Guava paste, I think that will be a hit !
Thanks everyone ! The children are 11 - 12 . Taste of Home magazine had a recipe for Papas Rellenas but it has raisins & Olives in it . I think I could either omit or chop them very fine. I like your thinking jedd63, parents would be VERY happy ! ;)
Thanks so much ! Not a big fan of deep dish , but " do in Rome" will look at the others online. My friend is a huge dessert fan, me salty & crunchy...
I looked at all the menus and I like a great deal of them ! I live on the coast of Mississippi & 1 hour from New Orleans , we go over about three times a month to eat. I noticed octopus on every other menu. I guess Chicago & octopus are like New Orleans & crawfish! I thought Kuma's rules on their Menu was a little rude....I thought REALLY?? What is the hambuger joint that was a SNL skit... Cheeseburger Cheeseburger ..Tourist trap?
I really do not have a budget, A friend recommended Giordano's pizza and Carmines for Italian and Hot Doug's for Hot dogs. Thanks for your help ! I am going to look up a few Menu's online.Especially XOCO
Thanks everyone !
Thanks ! I found a great recipe for Plantians and a rice dish, Sweet Story NWcajun !
oops! crowd ... I tend to type too fast !
HA ! I see your screen name is NWcajun, we live on the coast an hour away from NOLA. Great idea ! I will try it! Do not want to do the old games, this is a shower for the younger groud ( 23- 24yrs) so should be fun ! Thanks
I like the idea! Mimosa's will be flowing...I found a cute recipe on www. VeraBradleyLife.com for a precious cheese ball rattle , Almost to cute to eat!
The brand Zing Zang is a very good ready made mix , spicy !
YES IT IS!!!!!!! I am going to try the recipe from your link. Thanks !:)
Here it is 3 cans of swanson chicken broth

can add corn tortillas while simmering for extra flavor
Thanks for the info! Unfortunately I wrote the recipe down so I cannot link it.

Whole fresh mushrooms and do not over cook the shrimp, they should go in last
Go to Pillsbury.com /recipes" Carolina style brunch grits "
OMG ...They are soooo GOOD , when i make them, I always have a request for the recipe. It has taco seasoning , Mexi corn, spinach & cheese .
There will be 30 - 40 people,wookie is the nick name of one of my best friends sons! I do not here that nick name very often! I like the yogurt idea, A Yogurt Bar!
I just bought the Vera Bradley cook book and there is a recipe for shrimp and grits tartlets that i will test this weekend , i hope it works out ~!!
We are doing a buffet style but some what formal because of the home of the other hostess. Think Tara from gone with the wind & beach front. We are doing the whole China, crystal , Linen napkins ect.... I am making Crepe paper Dahlia flower pom poms from Martha stewart crafts to hang in the oak trees in the front yard and smaller ones for napkin rings.
I made them before and had rave reviews so check them out at her web site! The time is from 11-1 so quiche and frittatas are a must ! I love the idea of the bellinis !! Yum!
Caviar UGH ! Taste like rotten fish!
I recently bought a 45 pound bag of peanuts and I am a pro at boiling them , but I am new at roasting ( which is very easy ) but
the skins are so hard to get off ! I tried a method in which you put the them in a jar and shake, it did not work . I would love any suggestions. Thanks !
My son has a school project in his Spanish class. He has to include a recipe from the country that he was given, which is Cuba. I have to make enough for 20 children ! Help .....Thanks !
I am going with a friend to Chicago and this is my first time in the city. I would love any suggestions! I know pizza is a must!
Looking for a good Sangria recipe for a pool party this weekend. I have a White recipe but it is the same one I use every time, I would like a variety. Thanks !
My friend gave me a great recipe for Beef/broccoli stir fry. The beef always turns out dry and tough when I make it. Could it be the way I cut it??
My son has a project in school and it is on Jamaica . They are suppose to make a dish that the children can taste. Any ideas?
I am having a baby shower next month and would like fun recipes and ideas ! Thanks for any help :)
I just made a mole sauce but is runny....is it suppose to be? This was a recipe in our local paper and I am not sure about it? I think I might thicken it up a bit. Any suggestions?
I am making party favors for a birthday , which are round cookies iced like tennis balls . I need a runny type icing not thick any recipes out there that are fool proof ?
My Friend and her husband are moving to San Antonio Texas in August and we are having a going away party on July 5. They are Military and we miss them so much ! Anyway, the theme is the Bye Bye Miss American Pie. Of course we will use red, white and blue as the colors ! But any thoughts on food? I think we will be burned out on BBQ because of the 4th.
I am hosting a baby shower brunch and I would appreciate some ideas on what to serve!:)
Chicken Kara-age AKA Japanese fried chicken (or JFC for short) is a total crowdpleaser. These little chunks of soy-sake-ginger marinated chicken coated in cornstarch and deep-fried until golden have a tendency to disappear almost as quickly as they come out of the fryer. More
Ok... I found a good way ! I did not have any gloves so I used a rubber gripper thing that you use to open jars with, and it worked like a charm ! Thanks for the laughs and suggestions!
