When I was going to summer camp as a kid, the Seventh-Day Adventist cook, a whiz in the kitchen, made a mud pie with firm tofu in it, blended with whatever chocolate filling she used. Tofu can be plain and bland-tasting if you cut some off the slab and have a taste. But it's an amazing chameleon,

Re: [CnD] Preferred cooking methods

Re elderly microwave, I think it should be able to do pasta. When we were living in a friend's converted garage with no stove, I'd cook pasta in the microwave for 12-13 mins. Toss it in the water at the beginning and cook, checking at 10 mins, and add additional time as necessary. HTH, Dani On

Re: [CnD] Copy Cat Pizza Hut Pizza

I use this recipe for my pizza crust minus 1 cup of flour (I have a round 14-inch Lodge pizza pan), and add 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning to the flour before mixing in. It makes a great crust. I stretch the dough to the size of the pan and flip the dough over so both sides have some oil. I skip the

Re: [CnD] Homemade Pizza almost

You could do a variation with flour tortillas (Sweetheart is allergic to corn, so we swapped those out for flour), refried beans and cheese between the two tortillas, and cheese and a scant layer of taco seasoned meat and olives for layer 4. I oiled the pan and put the Mexican-style pizzas on

Re: [CnD] My Mommy's Baked Macaroni And Cheese

Thanks, Marilyn. This will be on the menu for next week. I've got to get more sour cream, since I'm eating what we have with guacamole and chile lime Doritos. I'm going with Neeward's explanation re the 2 cups, but wait for your clarification. I bet you had a great Mommy. *smile* On 8/8/20,

Re: [CnD] French toast in the oven

Cooking Without Looking has an oven-baked French Toast recipe on p. 60. It'll serve 6, and looks really doable. On BARD as both a .brf and audio download. HTH, Dani On 8/8/20, lorischarff--- via Cookinginthedark wrote: > Hi Bill, > I have seen recipes for French Toast in the oven. I even made

Re: [CnD] Copy Cat Pizza Hut Pizza

Just as an aside, don't swap out the olive oil for butter. It doesn't work. I was out of EVO and tried the butter in a pinch. Edible, but not a good idea to redo. On 8/8/20, Pamela Fairchild via Cookinginthedark wrote: > Unfortunately, it is all that oil that makes the dough turn out crisp and >

Re: [CnD] Sprouts and almonds

Hi, Mary. Thanks for mentioning what you are growing. I didn't know garlic sprouts and cabbage sprouts were an option. I'll have to look in to those. David and I have done mung beans and have broccoli microgreens in the pantry waiting to try. We've only bought from Amazon, but we'll also look in

Re: [CnD] My Mommy's Baked Macaroni And Cheese

Thanks, Helen. You learn something new every day. Today it's re cooking ratios. I can't read, either, or wasn't paying attention when JFW was reading to me early this morning. More Later, Dani On 8/8/20, meward1954--- via Cookinginthedark wrote: > Sorry, I guess I can't read. It doesn't sound
