Mimi's Recipe Board

I'm hesitant to post because I'm feeling like I post too much and am trying to cut back.  The last thing I want to do is hog the board and prevent anyone else from posting.  Anyway, I thought this could be important so am posting it.  Has anyone tried this or something similar?  It's a lot of ingredients if it should be a flop.  Please read the contributor's note at the end.Overseas Candy (never Read more [...]

Just wondering if anyone has one of these and likes or dislikes it.  One of the PT's has been raving about his, and they have had it for quite a long time.  He says it's the best chicken ever...so crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.  Also a lot less expensive than the money spent on those rotisserie chickens we grab and take home for quick meals and leftovers in the long run.  I've Read more [...]

Hello everyone,

I made this for dinner this evening, and we really enjoyed it. Great way to use up some of that leftover turkey bird for our tastebuds.  Just thought I'd share.  I've adjusted the recipe for the way I'll make it next time.  That would be the addition of the ginger, red pepper, rice and the canned vegetables other than the mushrooms that her recipe called for.Leftover Turkey Stir Fry Ingredients:6 Read more [...]

Janet, there seems to be some mixup as to whether or not you received your ornament from me.  I truly hope you did.  It was sent toward the end of November…

Well I made the toffee I was telling you folks about.  Mixed results, I used waxed paper, it did not stick but it also did not set into a nice brittle which it should have done.  I think my kitchen was just not co-operating that day or I can’t beat it properly anymore  but oh well it was still tasty as a sort of nutty caramel type treat.

Is it okay to cook squash whole or do you need to seed them first? 

This has been a great idea Yankette had 5-6 years ago. Everyone looking forward to join, and receiving waiting to open it. It is very disappointing when yours does not arrive and you hear everyone elses joy. I think if you join you should make sure you send. Val does this out of  kindness and follows up to find the missing ornaments. So sad that after all her thoughtfulness she did not receive and Read more [...]

I have been trying out new cakes and the first one was rated do not make again and that is from someone who eats most things. The second new cake (Peanut bars without peanut butter) I had high hopes for. After all the recipe came from a well known baker and her things are always great. Again a "flop" although this time it was my fault as I put in only half the flour the recipe called for. I will call Read more [...]
