DOUBLING STRING BEAN CASSEROLE sm
Has anyone ever doubled Stringbean casserole? I look on the internet and could not find a recipe. I usually make it in to separate casserole dishes but I would rather just make it one but I don't want to waste the ingredients if it does not come out right.
TIA and HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Try the cream of mushroom soup......sm
in the mac and cheese and stir in a can of tuna. Very yummy! I haven't tried the chicken or celery cream soups but they sound good, too.
Add a can of cream of mushroom soup.......... sm
to that tuna mac and you'll think you've died and gone to heaven!
I've quadrupled it! Look up Green bean casserole....
and make sure to have a happy, happy Thanksgiving!! Yummmmm my favorite veggie dish you're making....yummm yummmm *laughs*
ENJOY!! 
Not to butt in but what's great about green bean casserole?
I made it once and it went in the garbage. It was horrible. Every year I tell hubby I'm going to try it again (jokingly of course) and he always says "The h--- you will!!!"
So much for that.
Green bean casserole - need a soft veggie dish!
Got an cheese and cream of whatever soup
when you first said rice I was thinking white, but this may work anyway.
A few of us posted not too long ago that we have similar recipes with slight variations for a mac and cheese/tuna recipe -- simple, you just make the boxed macaroni and cheese as usual and add the cream of (I use chicken, could be celery, mushroom, whatever) and flake the tuna with a fork and add . . . could work with rice also, you just wouldn't have that lovely powdered cheese mix and would have to make your own cheese sauce.
I have also made tuna patties before with canned tuna (like salmon patties). I like the salmon patties better, but the tuna patties were certainly edible (anything fried is pretty much edible, right?), and have the rice as a side dish.
tator tots, burger, green beans, cream of mush soup
Brown a pound of ground beef with your favorite seasons.
In baking dish put a layer of tater tots, then take a can of french style green beans (all liquid removed) and layer over top of tots, then burger and top with cream of mushroom soup diluted with milk so its thin enough and creamy. Bake until tator tots cooked.
Hamburger soup and sausage soup
Pretend you're making vegetable soup. Throw in whatever you want for veggies (corn, green beans, carrots, onions, potatoes), a can of tomatoes or tomato juice. Add 1 pound of browned, drained hamburger and beef broth in place of water.
For the sausage soup, brown a pound of sliced SMOKED sausage, add some water and scrap the bottom of the pan. Add your veggies and chicken or vegetable broth (the harder it's smoked, the better).
I usually use frozen mixed veggies and just add a few potatoes if I feel like it or if I'm in a hurry and simmer for 30 minutes.
I make large batches and freeze all but enough for a meal. You can season with your favorite seasons. I usually use garlic and pepper and a bit of cumin to make them smokier.
Savory mushroom stuffing. . .
8 slices white bread, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 pounds mixed mushrooms, such as cremini and shiitake
2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 shallots, sliced
4 cloves chopped garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1/4 cup Cognac, or other brandy
2 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup heavy cream
3 large eggs, beaten
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Spread the bread cubes out on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Trim the dry part from the bottom of the cremini stem and quarter. Stem and quarter the shiitakes. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, shallots, garlic, and rosemary and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and brown, about 25 minutes. Add an additional tablespoon of butter, if needed, to prevent sticking. Carefully add the Cognac (if working over gas, pull the skillet from the heat), and simmer until the liquid is slightly syrupy. Stir in the chicken broth and salt and bring to a simmer.
Whisk the cream, eggs, and pepper, to taste, in a large bowl. Add the bread, mushroom mixture, and parsley and toss until the bread is moistened. Transfer the dressing to a buttered 1 1/2-quart baking dish. Bake, uncovered, until the dressing sets and the top browns, about 1 hour. Let dressing sit for 15 minutes before serving.
yam cream is a natural progesterone cream--sm
I believe you can get it in most drug stores, health food stores, and on line. check on line, as you may find a better quality at a cheaper price. It works well.
I had it done, chose the string..sm
method - I don't agree that they will fall off with no pain - I DID have pain, and continued bleeding to the point that I had to wear a band-aid for over a week. And yes, mine did grow back - although it's not nearly as large as it was before I had it removed. If I do have to repeat the removal, I think I'll go with snipping it off!
SILLY STRING
How does the silly string detect trip wires and why did she need approval and from whom did she need approval?? Both of my sons ages 26 and 20 are currently in Iraq with the U.S. Army (oldest one drives a tank and the youngest one is an Army Scout and goes out on missions driving a humvee looking for the enemy) I would be very interested to know the answer to this.
News about silly string to soldiers
in Iraq. A NJ mom has gotten the approval to send silly string to troops that would help detect hidden trip wires that they cannot see otherwise. Who would have thunk it.
I was the originally poster about silly string
what I can remember from the news report was that the silly string is an aerosol can and she was not able to ship it out, but finally someone offered to to help her ship it. I am sure it will be on the news as this just happened within the past few days.
I use 8 o'clock bean (original) and have not had any
problems with the flavor changing. It's perfect every morning. Have you changed your brand of coffee filter?
Eye round roast, potatos, yams, corn, and string beans.
Taking advantage of the cool weather and using the oven.
Has anyone tried The Bean, abdominal exerciser? Effective? Worth the money?

Craving beef and bean burritos tonight. Any good recipes?
TIA!
Chocolate cream pie, whipped cream & chocolate shavings on it!
PLUS:
Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream.
Pumpkin pie with a 2:1 ratio of whipped cream to pie.
A root beer float.
Chocolate chip cookies, or else soft, iced molasses ones - warm from the oven, of course!
And for dessert, a few chocolate Easter bunnies and a dark chocolate Hershey bar with almonds.
Summer or fall? Black for the fall. Silver or mushroom gray/beige is good and could

Anything canned
Paper products, plastic cups, utensils, toliet paper, diapers, pads, sunscreen, baby wipes for sponge baths, etc. There may be no way to wash dishes.
Water. Fill up your tub and all trash cans so you can flush your toliet.
Bleach... You can't have enough bleach
Brand name trash bags. Wet stuff is heavy.
Lotrimine or anti-fungal cream.. walking in wet stuff..
Soda. They give out ice eventually. Everyone ends up with more ice and water bottles than they know what to do with. Soda is great if the smell of mold makes you sick.
Drink mixes, if you get MREs they all don't come with kool-aid LOL.
Canned fruit, cups of fruit, applesauces, granola bars, chips, cookies, cereal, anything from the processed cereal and snack areas! Granola mix is great!!!! Crakcers and pb are filling too.
Canned meat like tuna and chicken.
Fresh fruit until it goes bad.
Cleaning supplies, with no power the mold gets really bad.
Fabreeze or something to spray your gross clothing with!
ENTERTAINMENT. There is so much waiting.
Canned Food
Have you tried him on mostly canned food rather than dry? Wet is better for cats than dry, particularly CRF cats.
What to do with canned tomatos
I have bought canned tomatos for something which didn't work out. Any ideas so they don't go to waste (p.s. - we don't eat beef). They are S&W tomatoes with italian seasoning. Would it just be too bland to serve them over some cooked pasta? I'm not the most creative cooks and have been known to burn water. HA HA
Don't buy the canned ones. They are gross.
Last year we bought a bag of potatoes, and didn't use them before they started to sprout. Then I baked all of them and froze them in freezer bags. Took one out of freezer and thawed in microwave when we wanted one. Delicious. I just put butter on mine.
canned air not bad for environment today...
Fluoroethanes don't have chlorine atoms. This means they aren't CFCs, and thus they do not deplete the ozone layer. No offense, but unless you have information these dusters contain chlorofluoroethanes (not likely as these have been phased out for quite some time now) or that fluoroethanes are proven to have some other harmful effects, you really need to think before spreading misinformation. By spreading this misinformation, you are giving (knowledgeable) environmentalists a bad name.
Canned meat - the spinach of Dog
(nm)
Canned tomatoes are very versatile
Not bad with cubed tofu, either. Also, what about vegetarian lasagna, eggplant parmesan, vegetable soup. More recipes are here, some vegetarian, but you can always substitute ground turkey or leave out the beef.

Mac n Cheese with canned tuna
I know it sounds gross, but it is totally awesome!
Also, a great next day meal for left over pork chops: Pork Fried Rice (my way lol)
Cut the pork chops up in pieces. Cook enough rice for however many are eating, and then in a skillet put a little bit of oil and cook a couple of eggs (I do one per person). Scramble them up and then take them out and set them apart in a bowl. Add a little more oil to the skillet, and throw in the rice. Stir it around for a few minutes, and then add salt and pepper, some terriyaki sauce, and half a bag of frozen mixed veggies (green beans, corn, and carrots). Stir this around until the veggies are thawed but still a little crisp. Add the egg back in and stir it all up. If you have sesame seeds throw those in.
Oh and don't forget to put the pork back in!
That's one of my hubby's faves that I make.
My family made home-made mozzarella,
and it was very good. I was pretty small at the time, so I don't remember the exact process, just that it was done pretty quickly, and a lot of milk was used.
I don't know if you'll save a lot of money making your own cheese. The cost of milk is very high, too, and you need a lot of milk to make cheese.
Yes, canned food is very good for cats SM
I give my 3 cats one can a day. It has water in it, so it keeps them well-hydrated. My cats love the new Meow Mix wet food. They have been eating it for a year without any problems at all.
Actually it is answering the one who said should be canned, creating hostile
work place- yours was not a good working situation also. I think people, unless in your situation, just do not realize what a problem others have. It is not something you try to do by making so many trips to the bathroom. People working for others sometimes just have to suck up things and as my mother would have said, consider the source- if you are rude, crude, inconsiderate, lacking manners- a person fits this category and you just take with a grain of salt and overlook others like this.
Love canned tomatoes!. Here are some ideas.
Put some frozen bean and cheese burritos in cassarole, pour tomatoes (doesnt matter if they are any flavor or not) over them, add cheese on top and bake at 350 til hot and cheese melted and brown. Or mix with chicken broth, chicken, cumin, pepper flakes (optional), other fave spices and make mexican chicken soup. Top with strips of toasted tortillas. Cook shredded chicken in tomatoes with fave mexican spices and serve on tortillas for mexican chicken rolls. Again, doesnt matter if called Italian tomatoes, will work with anything.
Looks like someone needs to get a life. The canned creamed soups from Campbell
are delicious, healthy (if you use Healthy Choice), and makes endless recipes WITH chicken breasts, fresh veggies, etc. You'd never be invited to our home because we use A LOT of canned stuff! Merry Christmas!
I was lucky - I had some canned Nutro Max but my kitty didn't like it, (sm)
which is unusual for her. Usually she'll eat just about any kind of canned food. When I read about the recall, I had 3 cans of it and I tossed it out. But FIRST, I wrote "RECALLED" on the can in Marks-A-Lot, just in case any dumpster-divers got hold of it and wanted to feed it to their cat. So for now we're sticking to Friskies & Fancy Feast wet, and Royal Canin dry cat food.
Any recipe ideas that can use canned tuna and rice?
I'm scraping the bottom of my pantry barrel so to speak. I just found canned tuna that I forgot I had and a box of instant brown rice. Any ideas on combining those two?
Thanks.
Is it safe to drink unopened canned items
That have been refrigerated for a couple weeks. Found a can of pineapple juice my husband put in the refrigerator a couple weeks ago, but didn't open. I know it's not safe to put open cans in the refrigerator, not sure about something that has not been opened yet.
The Soup
For any of you who don't watch this show you should. It's one of the funniest shows. I just pulled myself up off the floor from laughing so hard....
Guy goes to the ER (think his girlfriend and he had a fight and she injured his foot). Needless to say this guy is not one of the brightest on the blocks, but here's the conversation (he's filling out the questionnaire) in the triage area.
Mariital Status: Guy says "martial status?" - nurse says "marital status". Guy says "definitely single"
Guy says "Mode of transportation?". Nurse says "how did you get here". Guy says (I think to the person who brought him in). "Was it a chevy or a ford".
AHAAAAA HA HA HA 
I've used canned tomatoes in tossed salad in the wintertime...
because I can't stand the plastic tomatoes they sell out of season in the store. I also use them in tuna salad, chicken salad, etc. In summer, we grow our own, but for winter the canned ones are great, especially the petite-diced.
I've given dry + canned + cubed skinless chicken breasts.
Snacks have been:
1. Generic "beggin' strips" like you.
2. Cheese bits, but little or no other dairy.
3. Now and then (expensive), dried chicken strips that have glucosamine & chondroitin for joints. Otherwise, I use a powder with G & S that says it also adds fiber. A couple of tbsp of this mixed in their food per day.
The chicken I add is one breast between two dogs AM and PM, so they each get one whole chicken breast per day (skinless, removing any fat). I also let them lick the two baking dishes whenever I fix the chicken. Now and then they also do the dinner dishes in order to save on our hot water bill. They're such good kitchen help I've been trying to get them dishwasher jobs, but the only restaurant that was interested didn't offer benefits. :)
For my squash soup (sm)
I'm sorry this is going to sound not professional, but I cook by taste.
I take 3-4 pounds of acorn squash, pumpkin, etc., whatever squash I have around. (I have been known to use a sweet potato as well.) Roast them up for an hour or until you can gut them. Put the seeds in the oven to roast for whoever eats roasted seeds. :)
Puree those up until smooth. Then you want about 3-4 cups chicken broth or bouillon to thin it out to your preferred thickness.
In the meantime, I've been cooking up about 7 slices of bacon more or less or maybe a few slices of canadian bacon, whatever you have on hand. When those are all crisped up and some grease drained(and I cut my bacon up precooking), throw in a finely chopped onion with a little bit of salt and sweat them until translucent.
When that's done, throw the bacon and onion into the soup. Salt and pepper (freshly ground, please!) to taste. Your final herb is sage. If you have fresh, go with around 4 teaspoons. If you have dried like my un-green thumb has, use around 1-1/4 teaspoon dried. Throw that in, stir it in, and make a big decision whether you want the soup completely smooth or if you're lazy like me and don't mind the chunks of onion and bacon.
Heat to serving temperature and eat. It's a simple soup and really pretty healthy. It also freezes exceptionally well. I could eat it for every meal.
Hope that was okay--sometimes I'm clear as mud.
soup/zupatta
That soup sounds delicious! Not professional!??!! Are you kidding? ...Your MA and grandma did everything with a pinch of this or a dash of that....I copied your recipe and plan to make it (probably not as well as you do though).
Waste not, want not....I'm glad to see somebody putting up food/canning/freezing....been doing it for years.....
Lived in a very rural area (gravel roads) where it was a 17 mile one-way trip to the grocery store......If anyone needed bread, butter, meat, veggies or anything else, they could come stop by and get it out of my deep freezer and visa versa. We all helped each other out. It used to be called community....
chicken soup does!
and if you make it thicker and put a pie crust lid on it you can make home-made (much healthier in my book) pot pies easily. i would just advise rice instead of pasta...the pasta can lose its texture during thawing sometimes. a beef roast with potatoes and all freezes well too. I usually make a double batch of both of these and put one in the freezer. Same with lasagne. :)
chicken soup
Good ol' "Jewish penicillin" - chicken soup. Use leftover chicken or steamed chicken thighs or breasts if no leftovers are available. Use Swansons natural chicken broth (no sodium) but can use bullion, but it contains a lot of sodium. Use about a quart or more of natural chicken broth. I like to use baby carrots whole, but can certainly use sliced carrots. Season with lots of minced garlic and a little dill weed (maybe a teaspoon). I slice in a couple of things of celery or sliced celery hearts with leaves. I sometimes add noodles, or rice, sometimes I use a package of frozen mixed vegetables which are really terrific, depending on what I have available and what type of soup my family wants. Add some white pepper, not black pepper. Simmer until carrots and celery are soft. If using pasta or rice, add that last, otherwise it soaks up too much broth and gets soggy. My family would eat this even if they were sick and nothing else appealed to them, that is why I call it "Jewish penicillin." This is a Jewish mama's recipe. Enjoy - it is so simple and so delicious not to mention nutritious and healthy. Note: Never let your chicken leftovers go to waste - make a pot of chicken soup!
tuna and soup
I use to make it like that but added mac and cheese to it. My children loved it.
Squash casserole
Here is one I get harrassed to cook every Thanksgiving, it is really good.
Squash Casserole.
2 pounds yellow summer squash.
3 grated carrots.
1 good-sized onion, chopped
1 can cream of celery soup.
1 small bag Pepperidge farm herb-stuffing.
1 egg
1 8 oz container of sour cream.
1 cup grated cheddar cheese.
1 cup melted butter.
Slice and boil the squash gently but don't cook it to death. (Squash is always better if you slice it up, salt it and let it sit out about 30 minutes before cooking). When squash is done, drain water and mash with a fork. Add the chopped onion and the carrots. Put in beaten egg but temper if first so you don't get scrambled eggs. Then add the can of soup and the sour cream mix well, add cheese Put in enough Pepperidge farm to your liking, I would guess I start with about 2 cups. Mix well. S & P to taste. Put in lightly greased 13 x 9 pan. Take about another cup of Pepperidge Farm and put it in melted butter, this is the topping. Or sometimes I just put plain Pepperidge Farm and put the cheese on top instead of in the dish. Bake at 350 for about 35 minutes.
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

Ooeygooey casserole (sm)
I came up with this when we were building our house. We both were working jobs, as well as working on the house, and I just threw some stuff in the pan and it worked!!
Ingredients:
- One package frozen southern style hash browns (the cubed kind)
- One can each cream of mushroom soup and cream of chicken soup (the small cans)
- One package shredded cheese of your choice
- One sleeve Ritz-style crackers
- One half stick butter or margarine
- 2-3 cups of broccoli florets (enough to make a layer). I use frozen.
- One package ready-serve bacon or leftover ham.
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste.
Oven: 375 preheated.
Pan: 9 x 13 baking dish, sprayed with non-stick.
Layer as follows: Potatoes, salt, pepper, garlic powder, mushroom soup and cream of chicken (the small cans don't quite cover the entire thing if you use just one, so I alternate and then go back and "mush" it around a bit), then half the cheese, then the broccoli. Add the ham or bacon.
Melt the butter and crush in the sleeve of crackers. Add the rest of the cheese. Blend well and crumble over top of casserole. Cover with foil.
Bake at 375 until center is bubbling. Take foil off for last few minutes to brown up top. I am guessing that it takes about 60-90 minutes, as I just kind of throw it in and pull it out of the oven when it is done.
I get more requests for this from folks than for anything else I fix. It will last for days, and can be done with leftover meat. I would imagine turkey or chicken would work just as well as the pork.
Hope you like it.

Hashbrown casserole?
sounds good. Mind sharing the recipe?
Hasbrown Casserole
Mine is very easy. You need:
1 bag cubed frozen hash browns 2 lb size
1/2 stick margarine
8 oz sharp cheddar cheese shredded
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mucshroom soup
16 oz sour cream
1 c milk
1 small chopped onion
salt and pepper
Thaw the hash browns for 2 hours or overnight in fridge. Melt margarine and pour over hashbrown in a large bowl and set aside. In a separate bowl mix soup, sour cream, and milk. Mix soup mixture into hashbrowns. Add cheese, onion, and salt and pepper to taste. Bake in a greased (I use margarine) 13 x 9 pan at 350 degrees for about 1 hour 15 minutes, more or less depending on the oven. Cover with foil to bake. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before eating, will thicken up as they cool.
Almost everyone likes these. They're great to take to a potluck too.
