Dairy is the best, but I'm not a cook, so

I'm not sure if sour cream or plain yogurt would work in a soup. Another idea would be to sweeten it. You could experiment with small bowls of it. If it were too salty, it would be potatoes that would help.

Anything I don't have to cook! (nm)

Don't worry about it. I used to cook like that, too.
I'd be so tired from working all the time that it was Hamburger Helper, fish sticks, or chicken nuggets. Our grocery bill used to be cheap, too. Hubby and I trade off cooking now. Honestly, we're trying to eat healthier to lose weight. It's a "hobby" that has helped bring us together more in our marriage. We find new recipes on the Internet all the time. Gotta have variety somewhere.... LOL
I love to cook but
it isn't a lot of fun cooking for just 2. We eat out a lot and more and more places are offering carry out, such as Applebee's. Also check out your meat counter at the grocery. They have more and more stuff already prepared so all you have to do is heat it up. Like get a meat loaf, some already prepared mashed 'taters, open a can of green beans or whatever and have some already prepared salad and presto, you have a "home cooked" meal. Well, maybe not exactly home cooked but as good as most restaurant food and a lot cheaper. We also like hamburger and tuna helpers. shhhhh don't tell my grown up kids that.
Whatever DH decides to cook here.

You have time to cook?
Not me. I work full time and have two small kids at home all day so it is impossible. I wish I had time to cook though. I just stock my freezer with frozen foods, and on some days my DH will pick up something on his way home from work.
What else do you like to cook in your crockpot?
I love a roast in the crockpot but what else is really good?
Oh my ... you have it rough. I don't think I even know how to cook without onions! sm
For my meatloaf, I use salsa too, plus hamburger, hot Jimmy Dean sausage, breadcrumbs, & egg. Heck, this is making me hungry for meatloaf now! :-)
My kinda cook! I can sure relate! nm

Does anyone eat out a lot. I don't like to cook but am bored with the same old fast food.
Got any places not too expensive where I can get food to go. To go is the key. Bored with McDonalds, Wendys, Burger King, delivery pizza. (Boston Market?)
Thanks.
Hi Memaw- you know, it's not as hard to cook for a veggie as you might think, unless
she is particularly fussy. There are so many good vegetarian cookbooks that any creative vegetable side dish could be made into a mean main dish for a vegetarian.
I cook mine low - about 225 or 250, for about 10 minutes per pound

Next time cook it in the oven wrapped in foil. sm
This recipe is from pre-crockpot era.
Double wrap the roast in foil. Poke holes in the foil with a fork and put the roast with the poked holes side down on the broiler pan. Bake at 350 according to the size of the roast per pound. Very yummy and very easy. Pan drippings make the best gravy.
My husband feels the same way. Fortunately I'm a good cook but sometimes I need to get away from
have to cook chicken for my BF...the 20-cloves of garlic, is that from Rachel Ray?
Wait, I think it was from the barefoot contessa show, I saw her do that but not in a crockpot.
(We are looking for a place to buy chickens locally as I still believe no animal has to suffer for me, smile!)
Just because I am lazy, is that recipe already posted here, can I do a search to find it?
Thank you everyone!
No, my turkey is still in my freezer. I refused to cook this year.
I'm either going to cook it at Christmastime or slap some Cajun sauce on it and BBQ when the 18" of snow melts.
I'm so not a good cook and read the recipe below regarding briskets. May I ask what exactly is

It costs approximately $275 a month. I do have family to cook for, but
that has not been a problem at all. After the first 3 days, I have been fully satisfied on the program, and I am one who has NEVER been able to diet for more than a day or 2. I cook whatever they want which is mostly what I can eat too for my lean and green; beef/chicken/pork/fish and veggies, but I skip the potatoes, bread, and all starchy foods.
To afford the program, I cut way back on buying junk food and soda. Everyone is eating much healthier around here and neither my family nor me feel in the least deprived.
All I can really tell you is it is working for me like nothing has in the past and it's been worth every penny.
I read that, too. I love to cook, too, but I wouldn't want to be a chef or caterer.
Working mostly evenings and complaining patrons. I don't know. There's this little yuppie deli downtown that I would love to open one very similar to. But would I want to do it everyday? Then again, I like gardening and canning. I could be a farmer and sell organic vegetables. Or I could sell homemade canned foods, but there's so much regulation there and worry about botulism. I also like writing. My true dream is to be a paid and published writer. I don't care about fame or fortune, just enough to be able to work a flexible schedule and support my family. My family says it's a pipe dream that everyone wants but few people get.
I thought there was one to cook in crockpot. Don't have time to do the stove thing today but than

Daughter is vegetarian. I cook a turkey and she hits the side dishes. (sm)
We do pretty well with this. I just make sure I have some of her favorites so she still feels like she is having a feast.
I saw a picture someone made of a "turkey" they had formed out of raw veggies. I think the basic form was one of those rounded shaped loaves of bread and the veggies were on toothpicks. the head and some tail feathers were made from construction paper. It seemed like an entertaining idea especially if you had small children around.
browsing sites, gardening, cook, clean, laundry, SLEEP.
Cook in equal parts BBQ and grape jelly. Crock pot if time. Yum! nm
And have several grills with volunteers to man them. Piggy takes too long to cook! People will show

Went to pig roast. Chefs had no idea how to cook pig. Ended up smelling and tasting like garbage.

Cook it real slow at real low heat; simmer, don't boil.

What temperature do you normally cook your fish at. I find sometimes that in the oven the fish seems
to have a lot of or water coming out and it doesnt get done nicely. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
