My upright freezer door got left open a little - not once but twice. The first time, things thawed down pretty much. (It's in my garage and it's summer in the south.) Still cold but not frozen. Second time wasn't as bad. But still... I have leftover-type foods in the top...

I need input! We are serving a Cafe Rio type dinner at my daughters wedding reception in a week. I wanted to do as much of the cooking this week. Can the cooked black and pinto beans be frozen? I am making enough to feed 100+ people. Any...

I just made 2 meat loaves with regular beef mince instead of lean mince and now it looks way too soft. I have taken them out of the oven and they are cooling on the kitchen counter but I am too scared to turn them out of the tins. Would...

SESAME-CRUSTED ROAST CHICKEN IN TAHINI CAPER SAUCE - p. 416 Admittedly, I'm a little late to the party but over 3 yrs later, I'm finally getting around to trying this (seriously, where does the time go, I remember this COTM like yesterday!!). The cooking gods must have been shining upon...

I bought this huge box of black bean noodles on a whim at Costco. I made a pack of them with marinara and that turned out ok. The daughter has requested I do something with them again so I have been trying to figure out a good option. Was thinking...

I love food. Unfortunately, I can't cook worth a damn. I've been known to even burn water.
When I watch chefs and good cooks on tv, I'm so envious of their skills. This blog is the closest I get to cooking, other than the microwave ;)
Try not to drool!
