Need to feed hungry movers--make ahead recipes?

Posted by nichole, July 9, 2008 at 12:25 PM

I'm moving this weekend (tomorrow) and was hoping someone has a quick, never-fail, satisfying casserole recipe or some other type of recipe that I could throw together tonight and bake/reheat tomorrow. After moving all day, not to mention the endless unpacking/decorating, the last thing I'm going to want to do is work in the kitchen for an hour to feed my movers. Have I mentioned that these "movers" are my family members who request to be paid for their services in food? A brief flip through my cookbooks and google search hasn't left me inspired. Help SE-ers!!!

Thanks for all recipes and ideas!!

Salsas and Pestos and Nuts, O MY!!!

Posted by nichole, June 17, 2008 at 11:46 AM

So I just received the mother of all food processors that I have been drooling over for MONTHS (the BF bought it as an 'I'm sorry,' long story.) and am desperate to use it for something other than chopping nuts. Does anyone have some great recipes/ suggestions for killer pestos and salsas??? Any other great tips?

Thanks in advance!!

Picnic Celebration

Posted by nichole, May 13, 2008 at 5:15 PM

I'm planning a picnic this weekend for my boyfriend's birthday and was wondering if anybody had any fabulous recipes or tips so I can pull this off and look like I've done this before. (All I have is the basket!!) The weather is supposed to be fantastic and what a better way to welcome the summer?!! Drinks, appetizers, entrees, all suggestions would be appreciated!!

Until I get my braces off, (23 with braces is no fun) I can only dream at night about corn on the cob.......Have tried slicing it off, but its really not the same.

Do you eat because of hunger or the clock? Or both?

Unfortunately, I find myself eating out of boredom, which is much more unhealthy than either of these two.

What to buy, what to buy...

Does this "local store" that you describe happen to be the hardware store in LaGrange, Texas? I also got a coupon last time I was home and to my surprise noticed they sold Le Creuset, with about the same selection that you mentioned......VERRRY interesting.......

Actually, I am not a cook! My mother made wonderful meals, but I have never had much interest in cooking. My husband enjoys cooking and He would enjoy Anna's cookbook that is filled with elegant, no-fuss meals! My mother-in-law can put together a great meal in minutes using what is on hand. She is definitely my husband's mentor. Please enter us in your cookbook drawing. Many thanks, Cindi

Corn on the Cob is best when ______

Pick on the way to campground. Store in buckets of water. Grill in husks, silks intact, on rack over open campfire until burnt beyond recognition. Peel, sprinkle with Johnny's seasoning salt and eat standing up to avoid getting corn juice on your camos.

I must say that my culinary mentor is the internet.... which in essence.... is all of you! I love to eat out at new restaurants and have loads of fun coming home to "surf" for recipes of the tastiest dishes that I have come had the pleasure of eating. The internet is such a wonderful place..... it is like having access to everyone's kitchen! Thanks to all of you!
