It is very hard to go to all the places that I once shared with my mom. I am trying to keep her in my heart and do all the fun and memorable things with my daughters. Everything I do seems to bring her close to my heart.. and makes me cry for her. Thanks again for posting. Take Care.

Grilled cheese and soup - nm

ah yes, fried spam on grilled cheese!

We usually have just cheese or cheese spread & crackers out (nm)

Grilled ckn
To help with the dryness, try marinating the breasts for at least 30 mins. - more time is better - before grilling. Don't overcook them - it will turn your kids off on eating chicken. Press them with a fork and when the juice runs clear, they are cooked. It doesn't take long.
As far as marinating, you can make your own, or use salad dressing. I love to use Italian dressing as a marinate for chicken - just poke some holes in the breast with a fork, put it in a plastic zip lock bag and pour on the marinate.
Also, for more flavor on your indoor open grill, can you try mesquite briquets? I think you can also get mesquite flavored seasoning for grilling.
Have fun and bon appetit!
Grilled boneless chicken - sm
marinated in low fat italian dressing. Slap it on the George Foreman grill and done in minutes. Sometimes cut them up and toss in a salad. Other times just the chicken, stealing a bite here and there as I work.
When I feel like a change of pace, I dip the chicken in milk and dust it with powdered ranch dressing mix, then grill.
thriller. grilled or fried?

grilled romaine lettuce
slice in half - olive oil, lemon juice, salt, grill 2 minutes each side, sprinkle with parmesean. I was surprised how good it was!
Help with Grilled Chicken / Indoor grilling please
Ok, so I am really bad at cooking. We eat out most of the time, but I want to change that because I know it's not healthy and it's very expensive. My kids (ages 4 and 5) really like grilled chicken breast, but I have no idea how to make it!
I bought an indoor grill....actually I bought two. I have one of the George Foreman type contact grills and I also got an indoor open grill. I tried making chicken breasts last night, but they didn't taste that good. I don't know what seasoning would be good to use.
So can anyone help me out here? How can I make a delicious chicken breast on the indoor grill? I use boneless skinless breasts. I also usually end up over-cooking them for fear of eating raw chicken - and then they dry out 
Any advice is appreciated. Would also appreciate some advice on making good steaks on the indoor grill. What cut of steak? Seasoning? HELP!!!! 
Grilled - I Dream of Jeanie or Bewitched. nm
Hi!
grilled-----scented candles, sweet or fruity
Grilled rib steak, shrimp scampi, asparagus and green salad...
I'm getting hungry just seeing the steaks marinating, lol!
I'm very blessed...my SO is a gourmet cook. We rarely eat out because what he can prepare at home tastes much better than anything we could get at a restaurant and costs half as much to prepare.
Geez, it's only 1 o'clock...hope the time passes quickly til dinner!!!
mac 'n cheese
Here's the one I use...it's yummy...enjoy!
1 box, about 8 ounces or so, of elbow mac noodles
shredded cheese (I use the 4 cheese blend usually) about 2 cups...
1 small can evaporated milk
1 can cheddar cheese soup
1 egg
salt & pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook noodles until mostly done, but not all the way;drain. Mix in a large bowl the cheddar cheese soup, evaporated milk, and egg. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the noodles in with the soup mixture (I usually cool my noodles a bit before adding by running under cool water for a minute or 2). Don't add too many noodles or the mac 'n cheese will be dry.
Spray a round, deep casserole dish with nonstick spray. Add a layer of noodle mix, top with cheese; repeat with another layer of noodle mix and top with remaining cheese. Don't skimp on the cheese either! Add about a cup to each layer, depending on how much you like cheese (we love it)! Bake for about 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is bubbly.
It's seriously delicious. It's the only recipe my whole family uses for mac 'n cheese!
mac/cheese
Try adding some dry mustard. It was in one recipe I had and it really helped.
Cheese
any and all kinds
Mac&Cheese
LOL, I made homemade mac and cheese a couple times and the kids didn't like it! But they love the Kraft. My 12 yo niece recently told us that when she was little she though Grandma made the best mac and cheese in the world. Yep, it was Kraft in the box. I wouldn't sweat it. In our family we just always make mac and cheese for the little kids and they're happy.
mac & cheese
Cook 1 lb macaroni according to directions on box and put in crock pot.
Add one stick margarine.
Add 1/2 lb white American cheese.
Add 1/2 lb Cooper Sharp cheese.
Add 1 quart milk.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Warm in crock pot at least 4 hours (2 on high and then 2 on low).
Unfortunately . . . Mac and Cheese out of a box :)
I can't cook. I had never even cooked before (except warmed up left overs in the microwave). I cooked mac and cheese out of the box, but left the burner on (high) after getting rid of the water and half the noodles stuck to the bottom of the pan. It was a disaster. Needless to say . . . my husband cooks most the time now (though I have learned how to cook in the meantime).
mac n cheese
The best frozen mac and cheese is from Trader Joe's. It's absolutely decadent! Don't be fooled by the fact that it's frozen. Yum.
tell her to get mac&cheese or another side--sm
she doesn't HAVE to eat mashed potatoes. Pizza gets tiring all the time. She may be nice, but she doesn't sound very flexible. Enjoy whatever you decide on. have fun!
...instead as I had no cheese, though. Pumpkin it is! :) nm

Macaroni and cheese sm
I enjoy a really good mac and cheese but have to give it up due to high cholesterol, etc. Once in awhile I cheat and have plain mac with butter, salt and pepper (don't tell my cardiologist). There is a restaurant chain in the NE area called Hard Rock Cafe. I don't know what they put in it, it's very rich, but sooo good. I use Annie's for my grandkids and they love it. I prefer the good old rich cheesy kind with a nice browned breadcrust topping. Oh gosh, I feel pregnant with craving right now! Too old for that!
or may be mac and cheese. I make my own
using elbow macaroni, velveeta cheese, stewed tomatoes and bread crumbs on top with a dot of butter.
Cook the mac first, melt the cheese in macaroni, add tomatoes, put bread crumbs on top and then bake.
Usually have biscuits or rolls with that and a salad.
My SIL swears by mac & cheese
YUCK -- but my kids like noodles -- the egg noodles in turkey broth. They also like the turkey drumsticks and the wishbone. They love Stove Top stuffing, but not homemade stuffing. They don't eat much of the mashed potatos or gravy. They love deviled eggs. Are my kids weird?
One year, I thought I'd make candied sweet potatoes for the kids, thinking they'd like ooey-gooey, make-my-teeth-hurt sweet, but turns out I was wrong. They didn't touch it.
Truth be told, most kids don't eat much on holidays. Too much excitement I think. Try to make sure they have a good breakfast, then let them pick what they want to eat. I usually ask my kids to try 1 thing, just a small amount. When they come back later, I give them a turkey sandwich (if they like turkey) or PB&J. Don't stress yourself out over what the kids are eating. They'll be fine. It's only 1 day.
Need to know about cheese buying
I do not buy cheese but have 2 people on my list for presents this year that I would love to get some crackers and cheeses for. Do most cheese need refrigeration? I would think some would last longer than others, right? I can make this a 1 stop shop at Trader's Joe so need some ideas, anyone?
Never had mac and cheese pizza, but
I have my grandmother's recipe that we grew up on of baked mac and cheese. So much better than the box varieties.
Off topic - mac and cheese
I must be living under a rock, but I was watching the Food Network, and they were talking about restaurants that serve mac and cheese pizza. I might have to try it, it sounded pretty good, but I can't think of anything more fattening - unless you add bacon to it.
I second the motion on the mac & cheese!
And the 2nd or 3rd day, I like to take a slab of it and brown it in butter in the frying pan. Great for any meal of the day, even breakfast!
Broccolli Cheese Casserole
This is a family favorite, and the only thing DH will touch that has mayonaisse in it. Very rich!
Preheat oven to 350.
1 box frozen chopped broccolli
1/2 c. mayonaisse
1/2 c. grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 egg, beaten
2 Tbsp chopped onion
1/2 can cream of mushroom soup
salt & pepper
Ritz crackers
Cook and drain broccolli. Combine everything except the cheese and the Ritz crackers. Pour into greased baking dish. Cover with cheese and crumbled Ritz crackers. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
Philly Cheese Steak
I saw them making Philly Cheese Steak on the Food Network the other day and they used New York steak. Kind of expensive, but it looked really good. They said you could freeze it and then slice it thin while it was still slightly frozen (to make it easier), but I can't see why you couldn't have the butcher do it.
can cubed cheese be frozen?
I have a big cheese platter left over from a party this weekend. It consists various cubed cheeses. Did anyone ever freeze cheese?
Thanks
Ham, mac & cheese, and bakekd beans here.
s
Cheese souffle, you make it the day before
and then pop it in the oven for an hour, a hit here!
cut crust off about a loaf of bread,
mix eggs, some milk, pepper together,
lay one layer of bread in 13 x 9 pan, cut Velvetta cheese and place on top of bread slices and layer until you have like three layers,, then slowly pour egg/milk mixture over top and press down with a fork, place in frig overnight, cook for an hour on 350-400....
some variety we do, add sausage links in the mixture.
Pineapple and cheese casserole! Let me know if you
need receipe.
white cheese sauce
Our family frequents a mexican restaurant and they have this awesome cheese sauce. Wonder if anyone has a recipe they use and would be willing to share. I tried something yesterday evening and it was a disaster!
I'm in CA and I love homemade mac & cheese -
.
I like Ŗnd-day" mac & cheese, cut in a slab
NM
Or even a cheese and cracker tray.

cream cheese spread
Take a couple of blocks of cream cheese and soften by mashing them up:
Season to taste with Greek Seasoning Salt. Add a little bit of chopped green onion and chopped black olives. Serve on plain crackers.
I have never had macaroni and cheese in my life-
Have I missed something?
Sorry Chuckie Cheese that your life is not as
good as mine. I got tears in my eyes from lying on my back and crying over you. (Not really).
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.
I'd like to know too, mine loves mac and cheese
my little chiuaha gobbles up the M and C!
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.
Your foot is looking like Swiss Cheese
Better quit shooting yourself in it. Twould that you did a little research before you spout off as an authority. Point in fact, 'stupider' is an American English colloquialism, found in some modern literature but still not considered 'proper' English, and is not used in British English, which is what you claim you use.
Head cheese, it's so gross.
My dad used to love it and told me he would give me 5 bucks if I tried it. I did and I hated it. I got the 5 bucks though, even though I threw it up. I gag whenever I see it.
Thank you very much for posting that.
I felt like I was making fun of obese people in having the opinion that obesity is a choice. But, I still stand behind the fact that it certainly is a CHOICE, and until one who is obese owns up to their lifestyle habits and stop blaming others, they will never lose that weight, but simply live each day thinking they have an "excuse".
This could be me posting...
I go through the same thing every year. In fact, when I first got married I had no idea what these baskets were. I had not even heard of them. I was using one that has a plastic insert liner for my sponges by my sink when MIL got a little offended and told me how expensive they are.
I have only been married six years, so far only six baskets, that I keep in the cupboard above my fridge. Don't know what I will do when I run out room up there. I don't mind the baskets, I just don't know what to do with them. About the only time I use them is when I have company for dinner and I use them for the rolls.
Thank you for posting this!
I checked out the website - www.steppables.com. We have a stone path down a slope in our back yard and I want to plant fragrant ground cover in the spaces between the stones. That is a great site!
Thanks for posting this....
I was not aware of this case. It is good to get the information out there. I pray for her safe return.
Oh wow...thanks for posting that...
we have a 10-week-old boxer and have been picking up toys here and there for him...thanks for letting me know what NOT to get...that is scary...poor thing!!
Thanks to all of you for posting
I really appreciate it!
