Steak, of course, baked potato and salad.
I really, really wanted this guy bad. Got him too...now I sometimes wonder why I really, really wanted him bad.... Just kidding!
Need help regarding Potato salad?...sm
I have a problem. When my children were young they never liked potato salad. They always asked if I would make macaroni salad all the time with holiday meals. Today my son who is a teenager asked me if I would make potato salad to go with the turkey and all the other holiday goodies. He said he does like potato salad now. I have no clue how to make this as I have never made it. Any recipes/help would be so greatly appreciated. 
How about cheesy hashbrowns, baked beans and watermelon--nm

I like potato salad with sweet pickles in it. sm
That's how my mom and grandma always made it, so I grew up eating it that way. But the very thought of sweet pickles makes my hubby ill, so dill pickles it is for us.

mashed potatoes since they are edentulous. Green bean casserole was a great idea. Corn casserole too is yummy.

hot potato
The reason you have to slice them in half before you wrap the whole potato to cook it is because it is too hot to eat even hours later. By being already cut in half, no one burns their fingers and the potato instantly cools off once it is opened. You do not need to put them back in an oven once they come out.
Potato casserole
This is my funeral potatoes recipe which does contain cheese, but I see no reason why you can't adjust a recipe to your preference. I do it all the time when recipes have ingredients that I don't like. I'm thinking you could replace the cheese with cream of mushroom soup or cream of potato soup. Go for it. Don't be afraid to make a recipe your own!
* 6 medium potatoes, boiled
* 1 pint sour cream
* 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
* 1 bunch green onions, chopped
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon pepper
* 2 tablespoons milk
Beans, beans, beans
Beans taste really good with cheese and picante, and there are so many spices and spice packets, bouillon cubes are great too. Stock up on salt and spices!

You can mince or grind down the pecans rather than chop 'em if you think that'll work for your guests.  Cat...
Sweet Potato Casserole II
SUBMITTED BY: Suzanne Cook PHOTO BY: Anderswin
"Fluffy sweet potatoes mixed with butter, sugar, and vanilla, and baked with a crunchy pecan streusel topping. This recipe was given to me by my brother-in-law."
INGREDIENTS
- 4 1/2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1 cup chopped pecans
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and flour. Cut in 1/3 cup butter until mixture is crumbly, then stir in pecans. Sprinkle pecan mixture over the sweet potatoes.

Just like a potato chip, can't pick just one!
300, Forest Gump, Bram Stokers Dracula, 50 First Dates.
Those are probably my top ones that I never get sick of watching. I have a pretty huge movie collection and pretty much only buy ones that I really love though. I'm a fan of most all types of movies.
You should change your name to Couch Potato
hehe
I like Grey's Anatomy too but never can remember when it comes on to record it. I have also seen commercials for Swingtown and that looks good but I can barely keep up with the little I record now. I hesitate to add to it. :)
Bake like a regular potato
They are good if you make them just like a regular baked potato too and just add butter, salt, and pepper. My husband also grilled them in foil this summer with butter and just a touch of brown sugar and they were great. I do not like the canned, fresh are MUCH better and less sweet from the start. I also saw a recipe for sweet potato chips in the oven. I haven't tried it yet and can't remember where I found the recipe but I'm sure you can Google it.
Bakes potato soup
I like to make baked potato soup. Bake 3 large potatoes or 4-5 small ones. Cut them in half, cool slightly, then scoop out the middle. While they are baking I takes some time to heat up some chicken stock with a bay leaf, garlic, black pepper, a little time. Sometimes I use boulion (sp?) if I don't have stock. Add potatoes to this. Heat to boil. Puree if you want or leave chunky. Add milk and cornstarch if you like it thicker or sometimes I use potato buds to thicken it. The amount of milk/chicken stock, etc. depends on how much fat you want. I used to use almost full milk or heavy cream but not any more. I just use enough to make it creamy now. Put in bowls and top with cheddar cheese and bacon. Sour cream doesn't work well. Really easy and quick (can "bake" the potatoes in the microwave if you want). I find that kids love it if you call it cheese and bacon soup. lol Usually for the bacon, I don't cook a new package but instead when I cook bacon for breakfast, etc. I save 2 or 3 pieces in the freezer each time. Then when I want some for soup, green beans, or salads it is available.
Dried Beans
I always used to use those for bean soup for our family reunion. About 10 years ago, I made it and the beans were still crunchy! First time I had that problem. I had to throw it all out (20 quarts) and start all over again, yet only had 1 day until the reunion, ran out and bought canned beans. Worked. Now I use canned beans instead.
Never knew what happened, but I'd rather use dried beans because of the cost and shelf life.

speaking of coffee -- beans that is,
does anyone dip their c. beans in baking chocolate for snacks? I heard you can do this, but wondered if they are real hard, too strong or just plain tasty this way???
Ham, mac & cheese, and bakekd beans here.
s
Well I was just kidding about chewing on the beans!
But I am very happy that you found something strong enough - I guess espresso should do it. I have only had espresso once myself and it was bitter, but I understand that making it correctly is a kind of an art form.
I don't think I have had Cuban coffee, but I'll sure keep my eyes peeled for it. I love to try new things.
Cheesy pork chop and potato bake-- YUM!
Although, b-fast does sound mighty good. I am preggo, and eggs sound good absolutey any tme!!

Baked ham question
This year I will, as usual, use brown sugar, pineapple and cherries on my ham. But my question is, other than to have the yummie fruit to eat, how does it change the flavor of the ham since it still has the rind on it? Just wondering. I have tried taking the rind off before baking, but soon found out that was an effort in futility. Hope this isn't something everyone but me knows!
Baked oatmeal.
Hot, right from the oven, with lots of milk, raisins and brown sugar! YUM!

I buy Dunkin Donuts Beans in their store....or...sm
Sometimes I go to the grocery store and buy Colombian beans (I love Colombian coffee, among many others) to grind - Brothers brand is really good, believe it or not.
Also, in Dunkin Donuts while you're buying a nice cup of their coffee, they sell beans, their beans - and they had a sale - buy 1 pound, get the next one like half price.....I cannot remember, as it was a couple of months ago...but I bought 2 pounds and still have one in the fridge to grind.
I NEVER grind in the store. I have a little $30 grinder I picked up somewhere - Target? Wal-Mart? Can't remember that either.....but I grind a container full (like a week's worth) at one time. You can do more or less - it's personal choice there, or you can grind daily - it's that simple a thing.
But I'll tell you the truth - no matter that I'm grinding Dunkin Donuts beans - it NEVER tastes as good as buying it at their store... I don't know what it is - I use Half N Half (like they do) and it still pales in comparison to the ready-made Dunkin Donuts coffee in their store...
could just be a psychological thing here going on in my head about that.........*lol*
Happy Java hunting :)

Enjoy that time off!
I've cut out pasta and never gave beans.

Ok great cooks..need help with baked mac-n-chs!
We all love homemade baked mac-n-cheese. However, I'm not doing something right. I need your help! I made one over the weekend and it was not bad, it was just really bland. The only thing that really had any flavor was the cheese topping LOL I am using the basic ingredients; noodles, milk, eggs, cheese, salt & pepper. I am obviously lacking in the "flavor" department. So who has a great TASTY baked mac-n-cheese recipe?? Thanks!

Baked French Toast
I made this Thanksgiving weekend for breakfast. You start it the night before so it can sit overnight in the fridge. It is so simple and quick, and is absolutely delicious! Everyone loved it!
Note: I sprinkled cinnamon on the top just before baking. Can't have French Toast without cinnamon!
BAKED FRENCH TOAST
Ingredients:
8 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
8 slices of 3/4 inch thick Italian bread, cut in half.
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Directions:
Mix eggs, milk, brown sugar and vanilla. Pour half of the mixture in the bottom of a 13 X 9 pan. Lay the bread out in the pay and pour the rest of the mixture on top. Flip the bread over so that it's all coated. Cover and let sit in the fridge overnight.
Melt butter in a second 13 x 9 inch pan. Stir the brown sugar and maple syrup into the butter. Move your soaked bread into the pan with the butter mixture. Cook at 350 for 30-45 minutes, depending on desired brownness.

Have you tried baked sweet potatoes?
You prepare them exactly like regular sweet potatoes and you can either top them with butter or sugar and cinnamon. They are very good and I heard they are healthier too?
How to keep baked potatoes hot out of the oven?
Our church is having a potluck Februrary 21 where the men prepare the main dishes . DH had decided to bring baked potatoes with all the toppings . He will probably bake about 40 potatoes . How can they be kept hot ? I thought of lining a roasting pan with towels & covering it with its lid . Any suggestions?
baked potatoes to church
Wash and cut in half each potato. Wrap in aluminum foil and bake. Leave the foil on. They will stay hot about 2-3 hours out of the oven. I have used this recipe for 100 people. Put the toppings on ice! It is always a hit!

Or - how about sloppy Joes?
I agree, beans and all legumes are a great source for.......sm
plant protein and fiber. Great option for vegetarian.
This is a great beanice dish:
rice
beans (any kind)
onions (chopped small)
olives
turmeric
spices
Fry a little in olive oil or canola oil, then cook in water, 1:2, or 1:1/2, depending on kind of rice.
You can substitute beans with lentils or chickpeas, or put all 3 together....
Beans for supper...sounds like an experiment in our house. nm

Truffles, the other day you suggested chewing on coffee beans but
I think I found what I really need today and I had some Cuban coffee at a little shop up the street. I am in total love! The guy wanted to know if I knew what it was before I bought and told him drank some in a smaller cup in Santo Domingo, did not think it would be any stronger and goody for me, just hit the spot. The guy suggested my getting an expresso maker and might just do. I did not get around to chewing on the beans, though.
