Wow..we always had grilled cheese too! Thanks for posting..sm
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.

SPAM
 
This is not spam. Has anyone tried or is using Provestra?
It is supposed to help with the female libido. thanks.
Have you seen the price of Spam? sm
I don't think it is economical, especially given what is in it. I also remember when you got ham in a funny shaped can and whole chickens too.
as the to reference to Spamolot, which is now a Broadway musical...
I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay, I sleep all night and I work all day. Then something about on Tuedays I go to town in mummy's panties and a bra!
I love Monty Python.
I hate spam
I was at a friend's house once. Her son was whining because he wasn't allowed to have dessert because he didn't eat his dinner. I asked him what they had for dinner. He said Spam, and I said I didn't blame him, I wouldn't eat it either. His mom got mad at me!
I love Spam!
I have all sorts of recipes for spam.
I want to go to Hawaii sometime for their Spam fest thingy.
Used to love Spam before I knew sm
what was in it. I also used to love deviled ham sandwiches before I knew what was in those cans. Sometimes knowledge is not good! I became a label reader, now I only eat healthy foods. Everything that was bad for me sure tasted good though. I find myself making from scratch like my mom and can appreciate how clever she was in the hard times. I was spoiled because I wasted my money on prepared food or takeout. Oh well, can't unring the bell! Doing okay but staying home more, buying in bulk what's on sale, I find restaurant food is sometimes "old" and not that good anymore, I don't see them doing the business they used to do. If we do go out, I am sure to go where the parking lot is always crowded and the turnover is good. I do have hope for the future and think things will turn around. I feel bad for those losing their homes, I really do. I get angry when I see volume depleting in packaging. Sometimes you think you have enough for a recipe and they've cut the quantity and disguised the packaging to look pretty much the same. Beware of this tactic. Let's just hope this slump is temporary for everyone.
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.
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
OMG, fried cream corn?!!??
That stuff sounds like it should be from the "Coronary Cookbook."
Can you freeze fried eggs? - sm
I thought I might freeze breakfast sandwiches for my son so he can have a quick breakfast before work - you know, bagel, egg, bacon and cheese. Anybody know if eggs freeze and the microwave well? Thanks!
I'm in north MS, I saw a bag of fried peanuts in...
still in the shell at a convenience store yesterday!
I grew up in IL and many of the foods I grew up eating are the same here.
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!!!
my fave too...along with Fried Green Tomatoes
I've tasted fried calamari. To me, it
was tasteless, just tasted the crust.
Fried rice is another good, cheap meal (sm)
I use a rice cooker a lot since I can cook w/o babysitting it. Make extra rice and put it in a ziplock bag and refrigerate. Next day you can take the leftover rice and bits of meat and veggies left over from other meals and an egg or two, and make fried rice. If you're new at it, there are some inexpensive fried rice spice mix packets that give you the flavor with some instructions. But once you've done it a few times, you can wing it with some asian spices and just use up the leftovers you have.
Two egg whites fried in butter flavored spray and a cup SM
of hot Lipton tea with lemon. Same thing every morning, and God help me if I look in the canister and discover I am out of tea bags! That just can't happen!
If you had said shuffling, watermelon eater, fried chicken
all day long- do you think that might be offense to some also? Because something sounds, I guess, so backwoodsy you say from the south? I am so glad the post turned out to be a yankee because I know of no one who eats like that. You Yankees really have some odd foods. I personally (as well as others here) find offensive because of the fact it sounds so ignorant for anyone to assume southern thing.
Fried pork chops, mashed potatoes,
gravy, and don't know what else yet; about to get up and go check!
Fried round steak, mashed. pot, chinese cole slaw, biscuits and pumpkin pies. nm
Fried chicken drummettes, mashed potatoes wiht homemade gravy, corn on cob and rolls

Pantry full and freezer full...but will NEVER eat Spam!

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
s
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.
