Mimi's Recipe Board

Hi Folks,  I'm looking for a tried and true Nuts and Bolts Snack Mix recipe.  Not necessarily a mammoth one; maybe 12 to 16 cups max.  I have never made this so your opinions of the methods would also be appreciated.  I have seen some recipes that one needs to bake for over an hour!!!  Is this really necessary?  I'm nervous about baking something that is already dry for so long.  Thanks in Read more [...]

Hi Folks!  I’m looking for two types of this recipe:  one sweet (with baking spices, cinnamon, nutmeg/cloves etc.) and one spicy/savoury (chili powder/herbs etc.).  Do you have one that you make all the time and just love?  Would you mind sharing?  There are so many on the internet I don’t know which one to try first; need a personal recommendation, please.  Thanks so much.

Just wondering what everyone is doing for Father’s Day.

On the hunt for salt cod with nora (with tildes!) recipe .  I have a cousin whom I love dearly living in Glasgow Scotland.  She was  born in Halifax NS and raised in Barcelona Spain (moved there when she was 9 or 10) I’ve done a Google search but I got so many hits I’m totally confused.  She posted a request on Facebook and I’d like to help her out.

Finally got this tried this evening, and we loved it!  DH says to please make this one again. That's always good to hear.  My changes are in the parenthesis. I don't think I've ever tried one of SandyOH's recipes that we haven't liked! Hamburger Chow MeinSandyOH posted 02-07-99Hamburger Chow Mein 1 1/4 lbs. lean ground beef 1 medium onion, chopped 2 cups sliced celery 1/4 stick margarine 2 1/2 tsp.

Hi Pepe,  I see in my email that you've posted that you have found a recipe for basil jelly and that you already make garlic jelly. Wow!  What do you eat your garlic jelly on?  What will you eat basil jelly on?  I can't seem to find where you posted on here under the fresh basil link.  It must have been quite awhile ago.  The comments on older posts must not show up on recent comments????  Read more [...]
