Yes, we pay the yearly fee for Instacart, too, and it has saved our

Cat Litter Casserole

 

Dumps
1 cup Bisquick 
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 
1 pound ground beef, turkey or pork sausage 

 

Litter
2 cups long grain rice 
3 3/4 cups water 
2 tablespoons salt 
2 tablespoons butter or margarine 

 

Tools 
Large mixing bowl 
Rectangular baking pan 
Deep saucepan with lid 
Fork 
Paper towels 
Large spoon 
New stainless steel "pooper scooper" 

 

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.

 

Using clean hands, mix together the dump ingredients into a large bowl. Mold
pieces of this mixture into various size/shape "dumps." Place so they don't
touch each other on an ungreased baking pan. Use two if they don't all fit.
Bake the dumps for about 20 minutes or until they are all brown, firm and
slightly
rust-colored. 

 

While the meat cooks, put all four litter ingredients into a large saucepan.
Heat over high heat until the water comes to a boil. Stir, then turn heat
to low and cover the pan. Simmer without lifting the cover for 14 minutes. 

 

Remove the saucepan from the stove and carefully lift off the cover. Break
apart or fluff the rice with a fork and set pan aside. 

 

When "dumps" are done, carefully transfer them onto paper towels to drain. 

 

Spoon the rice and "dumps" into the now empty baking pan, leaving some
"dumps" partially uncovered. Use pooper-scooper to serve. 

 

Yields 8-10 servings.  Enjoy.

[CnD] Turkey Stuffed Peppers Recipe

[Marilyn Pennington via Cookinginthedark]

Turkey Stuffed Peppers Recipe


Turkey Stuffed Peppers combine ground turkey, tons of vegetables, and pepper
jack cheese into a satisfying healthy low carb meal.

CourseMain Course

CuisineAmerican

Prep Time20 minutes

Cook Time30 minutes

Total Time50 minutes

Servings4 servings

Calories301kcal

AuthorKrissy Allori


Ingredients


*   4 whole bell peppers any color
*   1 pound ground turkey dark meat recommended
*   1/2 yellow onion diced
*   1 clove garlic minced
*   1 zucchini diced
*   15 ounces diced tomato drained
*   1/4 teaspoon salt more or less to taste
*   4 slices pepper jack cheese grated


Instructions


1. To prepare the peppers, slice the tops off and remove any
veins or seeds inside. Do not discard tops as you will use any remaining
pepper attached to the stem.

2. Add peppers to a casserole dish, fill with about 1/2 inch of
water, cover with aluminum foil, and bake in a 425 F oven for 20 minutes in
order to steam, or parbake, the peppers.

3. While the peppers are steaming, cook the ground turkey,
onion, garlic, and any remaining pepper from the stem piece (diced) in a
large saute pan over medium high heat until the meat is crumbly, about 10-15
minutes. Add the diced zucchini and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir in
the tomatoes. Add salt to taste. Remove from heat.

4. Once peppers are done, remove from oven, discard water, and
return peppers to casserole dish. Fill each pepper cavity with the ground
turkey filling until all of the peppers have been evenly filled. Top with
pepper jack cheese. If making ahead, store in airtight container in the
refrigerator until ready to heat and serve.

5. Return peppers to oven and cook until heated through and
cheese has melted. This should only take a few minutes.

Hi:


I will look up these recipes, but Weight Watchers has a wonderful ground
turkey sausagerecipe along with ground turkey meatloaf, and ministrone soup.

Like Regina said, you do have to add a little cooking spray or oil, and
spice it up pretty well. If I find the recipes, I'll be back with them.

Won't plastic wrap melt at 350 degrees? Or maybe I should ask what brand of
plastic wrap can withstand 350 degree temperatures?

Re: [CnD] ground turkey

[Karen Delzer via Cookinginthedark]

Here's something I'm going to try. Up till now, I've used ground pork 
in this recipe and we love it. But, my son gave us some ground 
turkey, so why not give it a try here, right? So, see below and sub 
the ground turkey in for the pork.


Breakfast Sausage

2 teaspoons dried sage
   * 2 teaspoons salt
   * 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
   * 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
   * 1 tablespoon brown sugar
   * 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
   * 1 pinch ground cloves
   * 2 pounds ground pork


1. In a small bowl, combine the sage, salt, ground black pepper, 
marjoram, brown sugar, crushed red pepper and cloves. Mix well.
2. Place the pork in a large bowl and add the mixed spices to it. 
Mix well with your hands and form into patties.
3. Saute the patties in a large skillet over medium high heat for 
5 minutes per side, or until internal pork temperature reaches 160 
degrees F (70 degrees

Hi Drew. You can adapt most ground beef recipes to ground turkey. Just
remember to add a little extra seasoning to the ground turkey and maybe a
little nonstick spray or olive oil or other vegetable oil if you are
browning in a pan so it won't stick

Re: [CnD] Grocery shopping online

[Immigrant via Cookinginthedark]

I am not a fan of Whole Foods, the name gives me an idea that the products 
might not be what I am looking for. I tried Amazon Fresh, and I cannot complain 
about their delivery, but they required a subscription at the time, and many of 
their products are not from well-known brands.

[CnD] Grocery shopping online

[Immigrant via Cookinginthedark]

When I shopped online, Peapod was my first choice, with an occasional Instacart 
order. But when Peapod delivery situation became much worse in March, when you 
were supposed to schedule a delivery 2 weeks in advance and even that window 
closed quickly if you didn't catch it at exactly midnight central time, I 
started using Instacart as my main service. Instacart also had problems with 
delivery scheduling, but at least the situation was better than with Peapod. 
And now that both services seem to have improved their deliveries, I would 
still rather order from Instacart for a couple of reasons. With Instacart, you 
are in total control of what product, if any, you want as replacement if your 
original item is out of stock. With Peapod, your choice is much more limited. I 
turned substitutions off in my Peapod settings because if I allowed them, it 
would likely be up to the discretion of Peapod personnel what will substitute 
an out-of-stock product. Besides, as I said, their contactless delivery seems 
to be unavoidable.

Yes, Peapod is accessible. I have used it for something like 15 years now, far 
before all the others started to deliver. Peapod is stop and shop, which some 
say is more expensive than other groceries, but The service fee is less than 
other services too, so it kind of balances out.  With sales, I usually save at 
least $20 an order, so if the prices aren’t as good as other locations it kind 
of balances out. I have no major fact pushing me to stay with what I do or 
tempting me to leave, other than I am generally just too lazy to start with 
another service and learning the most efficient techniques. I can do a whole 
order in just a matter of minutes, based on using my previously ordered list. I 
would say that the computer is a lot more efficient than the tediousness of the 
app, but I say that about most things in general, as the phone is never very 
powerfully efficient.

[Regina Marie via Cookinginthedark]

Hi Drew. You can adapt most ground beef recipes to ground turkey. Just
remember to add a little extra seasoning to the ground turkey and maybe a
little nonstick spray or olive oil or other vegetable oil if you are
browning in a pan so it won't stick

Re: [CnD] Shopping Angel or Instacart

[Regina Marie via Cookinginthedark]

I've used it intermittently when my kids are not available to go. Usually, one 
of them will go and I just send them the money. I do not pay a  monthly fee for 
InstCart because it is not worth it as I don't use it often enough. 

When my mother was very sick with cancer, I did use it to shop for her and 
subscribed because I was using it regularly.

Re: [CnD] Shopping Angel or Instacart

[Immigrant via Cookinginthedark]

Here, in New York, they work with Stop and Shop. I know they used other chains 
in other regions, but I am not sure this will be the case any longer because 
Peapod transitions to stopandshop.com. And as ffar as I can figure out, the new 
site is more accessible when using Firefox.

I always steer away from contactless delivery because I live in an apartment. I 
don't want a shopper or delivery person to drop my bags in the lobby or, worse 
yet, at the entrance of my building. I filled a cart on peapod.com a couple of 
weeks ago, but when I went to check out and realized the contactless delivery 
checkbox cannot be unchecked, I emptied the cart, cancelled the whole process

Well, in talking about being so dependent on my husband, before this corrona 
virus hit, I loved going to the store myself and doing the grocery shopping. 
Now it's just not safe as we both have compromised health issues, and I'm 
almost 70 years old! Ug!But since I'm stuck at home, you all have given me 
something to do, and something to look forward to. Thanks! (smile)

Instacart will do a no-contact delivery.  We have it set up where they leave 
the groceries on the porch and knock.

Re: [CnD] Shopping Angel or Instacart

[Tiffany Jessen via Cookinginthedark]

Yes, Peapod is accessible. I have used it for something like 15 years now, far 
before all the others started to deliver. Peapod is stop and shop, which some 
say is more expensive than other groceries, but The service fee is less than 
other services too, so it kind of balances out.  With sales, I usually save at 
least $20 an order, so if the prices aren’t as good as other locations it kind 
of balances out. I have no major fact pushing me to stay with what I do or 
tempting me to leave, other than I am generally just too lazy to start with 
another service and learning the most efficient techniques. I can do a whole 
order in just a matter of minutes, based on using my previously ordered list. I 
would say that the computer is a lot more efficient than the tediousness of the 
app, but I say that about most things in general, as the phone is never very 
powerfully efficient.

Re: [CnD] Shopping Angel or Instacart

[meward1954--- via Cookinginthedark]

Never mind, Peapod is not in my area.  I didn't think so.

I wouldn't have put this on the list, but availability in your area is always a 
consideration.  Not all these services are available everywhere.  If it isn't 
available, you might check again at another time.  

In my area, there is also a service for seniors and people with disabilities 
that is run through Favor and one of the local grocery stores,  People can call 
in their order.  That's what my mother-in-law does.  She is sighted. She is not 
computer literate and has no interest in getting that way.  I have not tried to 
even sign up for this service.

Instacart will do a no-contact delivery.  We have it set up where they leave 
the groceries on the porch and knock.

Re: [CnD] Shopping Angel or Instacart

[meward1954--- via Cookinginthedark]

Most of us have never had the luxury of shopping for groceries and seeing 
everything in the aisles.  I have been doing this for several months, but I'm 
still like the proverbial kid in a candy store.  Though I don't go through 
everything anymore.  For me, the deli counter was the worst.  They had 
chocolate hummus.  Yes, that's right!  Chocolate hummus, I say.  And some other 
crazy flavors, too.  And OMG, all those different kinds of cheese!  Not to 
mention all those different kinds of ham or other lunch meats either.  And I'm 
not saying anything about cookies, candy, or chips.  The snack category is one 
that I am better off not opening at all since I'm a potato chip hound.  But I 
have bought some interesting things in the international section, things I 
didn't know were available in the regular grocery store.  And in the produce 
section, just how many kinds of apples are there anyway?

This is why I think that shopping apps are great if you are blind, and it is 
worth the trouble to learn them.  For many of us, it is actually worth the 
extra money as well.

The good thing about Instacart is that most of the time, the nutritional 
information for products is listed within the item details, so if you're a 
diabetic or if you have to contend with other food allergies, you can see first 
hand what's available.


If you don't like Instacart, you may be able to browse your local store's web 
site.  We have Kroger's here, and it's possible to go to their site, type in a 
zip code and see products from that store.  From there, it's easy to use 
coupons to set up delivery or pick up, but having access to the ingrediants and 
nutritional info is priceless for me.

There are so many things you can buy now that can be microwaved. You can buy 
quinoa, rigatoni, instant rice, brown and white, basmadi and jasmine and even 
pollenta. Amazing, especially on these hot days when you don't want to heat up

Shipt cannot be used without subscription, but you can use Instacart without a 
yearly subscription. I have used the service occasionally in the past, and I 
have been using it a lot for the last few months.

I have to admit that joining Instacart caused me to spend a little more money

known about at all.  It frees you from the so-called "sighted filter", where 
somebody else decides for you what is important or what you want.  Nobody is 
going to tell you absolutely everything on the grocery store shelves unless you 
pay them by the hour, but Instacart will.  I looked up and down the shelves in 
almost every single aisle at Costco.  Except the automotive, of course.  

There are drawbacks, of course.  I'm not going to go into them here. The app

skill.  You need to know your way around, but don't have to be a power user.  
So if that's you, you might try it.  

Shipt might be the same.  I have not used them, but there are blind people who

Re: [CnD] Shopping Angel or Instacart

[Tiffany H. Jessen via Cookinginthedark]

And, if you don't feel you have good enough skills to use the instacart app or 
are finding it tedious, there is always the Gogo Grandparent service. This 
service was previously known for being a third-party service you could call and 
they would set up your Oober rides for you if you din't have the skills or even 
if you dind't have a smart phone at all. Now you can call the same number, and 
they will do an instacart order for you. Yes, there is a third party service 
fee, as well as the instacart one for the delivery itself, but the option is 
there. I personally don't use either Gogo Grandparent or Instacart, so can't 
speak of first-hand experience. Sorry.

Subject: [CnD] Shopping Angel or Instacart

Linda:

I can't help you much with the angel. I had a fantasy about using Aira for 
shopping, so I tried it once.  But the reality is that if you are not paying 
for a rather substantial number of minutes, that may not work out very well.  
But there are shopping services, like Instacart and Shipt, that are as close as 
it comes.  

I love using Instacart.  I have spent hours and hours just browsing the store's 
offerings.  You can search for a product, or you can just pick an aisle and 
look at everything.  I wouldn't have believed that there were so many things to 
buy.  I didn't even know that some of them existed.  

If you are not sure you want to use the service, you could set up an account 
without paying for a yearly membership.  Setting up the account will allow them 
to show you the stores available in your area.  Then you could just pick a 
store and look at the shelves to your heart's content. 

I have to admit that joining Instacart caused me to spend a little more money 
at first because I was trying so many new things, things I never would have 
known about at all.  It frees you from the so-called "sighted filter", where 
somebody else decides for you what is important or what you want.  Nobody is

[CnD] Shopping Angel or Instacart

[meward1954--- via Cookinginthedark]

Linda:

I can't help you much with the angel. I had a fantasy about using Aira for 
shopping, so I tried it once.  But the reality is that if you are not paying 
for a rather substantial number of minutes, that may not work out very well.  
But there are shopping services, like Instacart and Shipt, that are as close as 
it comes.  

I love using Instacart.  I have spent hours and hours just browsing the store's 
offerings.  You can search for a product, or you can just pick an aisle and 
look at everything.  I wouldn't have believed that there were so many things to 
buy.  I didn't even know that some of them existed.  

If you are not sure you want to use the service, you could set up an account 
without paying for a yearly membership.  Setting up the account will allow them 
to show you the stores available in your area.  Then you could just pick a 
store and look at the shelves to your heart's content. 

I have to admit that joining Instacart caused me to spend a little more money 
at first because I was trying so many new things, things I never would have 
known about at all.  It frees you from the so-called "sighted filter", where 
somebody else decides for you what is important or what you want.  Nobody is 
going to tell you absolutely everything on the grocery store shelves unless you 
pay them by the hour, but Instacart will.  I looked up and down the shelves in 
almost every single aisle at Costco.  Except the automotive, of course.  

There are drawbacks, of course.  I'm not going to go into them here. The app 
and the web site are accessible, requiring what I would call intermediate 
skill.  You need to know your way around, but don't have to be a power user.  
So if that's you, you might try it.  

Shipt might be the same.  I have not used them, but there are blind people who 
have.

Oh, I love everything with corn; tortillas, pollenta etc.

One of my dreams/fantasies is to have a little angel on my shoulder so we could 
just go aisle by aisle in the grocery store, and the little angel would tell me 
everything that is there. (smile)
