It seems that this country has gone air fryer crazy over the past few months. I had never really thought about having one until my lovely partner asked if I wanted one for Christmas. I thought about it and we had a look around...

How do you use up your left over fruit and veggies ?

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (1769) • United Kingdom 8 May

I think that we all have fruit and veggies that are sometimes left over from your regular meal making ...so, what do you do with yours ? Do you simply throw them away to make room for fresh, or do you freeze , or do you have idea...

The high saturated fat in palm oil

Tunde @ogbenishyna (3130) 7 May

Palm oil is very common especially in West Africa where is used in preparing many cuisines but little do people know that it contains high saturated fat. The high saturated fat in the oil makes it unhealthy and has been linked to...

Italian Seasoning & Majoram & Thyme & Garlic Too

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29362) • Eugene, Oregon 6 May

I grew up in Texas a very long time ago and with my mother's cooking we had a choice of salt or pepper to use as seasonings. I'm so glad that I outgrew those limitations! I now sprinkle Italian Seasoning on salads and on almost...

Yummy dishes

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (40637) • United States 27 Apr

My back really isn't better, but for some reason a muscle relaxer helps more than NSAIDS. So a short break from pain has allowed me to do some cooking. A couple of days ago I cooked a beef pot roast (got it on sale...isn't it...

I almost forgot that I´m cooking.

marguicha @marguicha (216405) • Chile 25 Apr

I left the chicken simmering and came back to bed with my coffee. I was half asleep when I remembered that I might have the 2 thighs burned in the pot. After the fire, I am always worrying about the way I cook. Gone are the days...

The whole is not always greater than the sum of the parts

Fleur @Fleura (29276) • United Kingdom 22 Apr

I have been working my way through a pile of old ‘Good Food’ magazines I was given, and trying out a few new recipes. I found one for ‘pear and mincemeat crumble cake’ and thought I would give it a try – we still had a jar of...

Have not done that in a while

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (157907) • United States 14 Apr

While hubby went to the VA ER I cleaned and cooked. One of the things I made was home made granola. It seems like ages since I have done that, like maybe two years. I used molasses and maple syrup for sweetener, coconut oil for...

Frugal Food: April 7th, 2024

April @thislittlepennyearns (58425) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 7 Apr

Accommodations have changed again; something that I’ll delve into later or probably tomorrow. But because of that I was actually able to cook dinner. Something I haven’t been able to do in months. Granted it wasn’t anything...

Better late than never

Fleur @Fleura (29276) • United Kingdom 4 Apr

If I see a tempting-looking recipe in a magazine I like to save it to try one day. I’ve been doing this for years and have built up quite a collection, and one of the recipes I had saved for future use was for hot cross buns...

How often do you cook?

besweet @besweet (9860) • Ireland 2 Apr

My mom used to cook 2 times a day when we were kids because my dad didn't like the same food for lunch and dinner. I think that's not sustainable for a family, I prefer to cook large portions of food and freeze them for later. For...

Last Night's Dinner: Egg Wrap Enchiladas

J.N.R Dutton @jnrdutton (2610) • United States 20 Mar

Last night, Courtney and I made enchiladas for dinner. We used egg wraps as a substitute for traditional enchilada wraps. The egg wraps are a bit pricey, but worth it to me. We've made those types of enchiladas before and it's...

In the oven

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (157907) • United States 17 Mar

Since I was up early, I made food for later. I have been meaning to make a rice pudding all week. This one has dates and nutmeg in it. Lots of vanilla and eggs. Some make a stove top ride pudding, but I prefer the kind that is...

Odong Sardines

Shavkat @Shavkat (137260) • Philippines 13 Mar

After my morning online classes, I decided to cook a new recipe called Odong Sardines. It does not look good with my photo, but it tastes good. I just used a canned of sardines, noodles, and some spices. I cannot wait to try a new...

And more baking

Fleur @Fleura (29276) • United Kingdom 8 Mar

Since I had the oven on to bake the banana bread, I thought I would be energy-efficient and do some more baking at the same time. Then I could pop some of the results in the freezer for another time, when I don’t have the...

Banana bread time!

Fleur @Fleura (29276) • United Kingdom 7 Mar

We have a bit of a backlog of eggs at the moment, so I thought I would do some baking. I haven’t done any for a while and when we do it tends to be the same sort of things (partly because we have a lot of the same fruit in the...

The apron was useless

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (43191) • Staten Island, New York 6 Mar

I decided to have a pinto beans omelet for breakfast, along with a small salad on the side. Since I am wearing a violet t-shirt today I put on an apron just in case. I didn't want to stain it. Except I did. While cutting a grape...

Homemade Hamburger Helper Was Yummy

Jim Bauer @porwest (78757) • United States 3 Mar

When it comes to dinners, I will take the occasional shortcut. But not when it comes to Hamburger Helper. Simply because, quite frankly, it is so easy to copycat, I just won't. So, that's what I made last...

Don't get the pies mixed up

Judy Evans @JudyEv (326715) • Rockingham, Australia 29 Feb

Vince hasn’t been too well the last week or so and I’ve been back doing the cooking. I made what I’d probably call ‘pot pies’, if I had to name them. They are just minced beef (ground beef) cooked in gravy with peas, carrots and...

Which is your Favorite Pot Pie?

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (86976) • United States 27 Feb

Banquet..it's cheap and for me, okay in a pinch. Yes, it probably has tons of trashy stuff in it, but... I know some of you don't like them, but they will do for me for now. I can't be bothered turning the oven on in here..too...
