How do i cook the perfect roast potatoes?
Cut each potato into four pieces. Coat them with cooking oil. Sprinke with rosemary. Bake at 350 degrees for an hour.
If you are using dried rosemary, rub it between your hands to make small particles and it will have more flavor.
Can I make cheddar cheese from goat milk?
Frozen goat's milk is fine for making cheese. For any recipe, you are going to need to heat the milk to a liquid state. When heating, make sure that you stir almost constantly, otherwise the milk will burn. It's helpful to have a thermometer because the recipes will require that you will need to get it to a specific temperature. Hope this helps!! ~H
If the recipe calls for 1 packet of yeast how much do you use out of a bulk package?
Just use one packet of whatever you have - all of the packets contain the same amount. Active Dry Yeast, Instant Yeast, Rapid Rise Yeast, Fast Rising Yeast or Bread Machine Yeast are all the same. They just have different names. If your yeast is in a jar - use one level teaspoon.
Are mashed potatoes good after being frozen?
Yes. (Frozen dinners often have mashed potatoes in them.) I usually add more liquid to mashed potatoes before I freeze them so they don't get too dry when reheating. Or, you can add a bit more liquid, if needed, when you reheat them.
If you whip them well ,then will freeze very well.But doing it with a hand masher;they don'tcome out well when unthawed.Get them nice and light ,and add just enough liquidto bind them .To much liquid and they'll be heavy ,and don't freeze as well.
Can champagne use for cooking?
Of course. Champagne is only white wine with bubbles.
I would recommend red wine though as it is more hearty and
would complement the meat better.
If you use any tomatoes or tomato sauce in your stew those tomatoes have acids that only the alcohol in the wine would bring out.
A good recipe my family uses is to fry the frozen wings that are just raw wings, not breaded, for about 12 minutes on 350degrees in a deep fryer (or until dark golden brown). Mix a sauce using Frank's Hot Sauce and some melted butter. Once the wings are done frying, pull them out and mix and let them soak in the hot sauce. Enjoy! :)
A nice, simple omlet:
In a small amount of butter, saute some veggies (onions, mushrooms... whatever you like and have available). Remove the veggies from the pan.
Cook whatever kind of meat you'll be using, such as sausage, bacon, grilled chicken, or anything else you like. Remove meat from the pan.
Scramble 3 or 4 eggs into a bowl, add about 2 Tablespoons of water (to make it fluffy), then cook the eggs in an omlet pan in which you've melted a little more butter, "pulling" the eggs just a little to constantly keep raw egg moving into contact with the pan surface.
Once the egg starts to look "done" or near done, add the veggies and meat and grate cheese over it all. Then fold half of the omlet over and let the cheese melt.
Serve hot with your choice of sour cream, salsa and hash-browns.
I'm hungry now, I think I'll go cook some omlets for the family.
The plainest omelete would be either egg omelette or cheese omlette
2 or 3 eggs, in bowl, add grated cheese if cheese omelette
whip with a fork,
have oil, not too much oil, in pan heated
pour mix into the pan leave it for 1 min or so
shake the pan a few times
leave for 3 or 4 mins to cook
(depending on how much mix-if its a lot it will need a bit longer to cook)
shake the pan,
turn it over when its cooked on the outside without looking burned
(it may be difficult to turn as egg still runny on non cooked side,so you can cut it into sections and turn the sections) leave it again to settle for a min or so
shake
leave to cook 3 mins or so
check progress, leave or take out depending on progress
any other ingredients you want to add, all you do is add them to the mix before you pour
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon of butter
- 1 tablespoon of milk
- a little salt and pepper
(For bigger omelettes double or treble the recipe). Don't mix anything. Put it all in a (non-stick) frying pan over a low heat. Stir it slowly with something with a flat end, so you can move the egg off the bottom as soon as it is cooked. Mix it so you still have bits of white and bits of yellow. Lift the pan off the heat just before it is cooked, because it will keep on cooking in the pan, and there's nothing worse than a dry omelette. That's it. Put it onto a slice of buttered wholemeal toast. Yum!
Oops, sorry. That's really a scrambled egg. Still, not much difference. Still delicious!
How long can you make ahead casserole?
Casseroles can be frozen for up to 3 months if they are wrapped carefully to avoid freezer burn. If you are making ahead of time and it will be stored in the refrigerator, the amount of time will be determined by the ingredients. If it has milk, eggs or meat in it 48 hours would be the longest assuming you started out with the freshest ingredients.
What is the recipe for tomato bruschetta?
- 6 or 7 ripe plum tomatoes (about 1 1/2 lbs)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 6-8 fresh basil leaves, chopped.
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 baguette French bread or similar Italian bread
- 1/4 cup olive oil
2 Make sure there is a top rack in place in your oven. Turn on the oven to 450°F to preheat.
3 While the oven is heating, chop up the tomatoes finely. Put tomatoes, garlic, 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, vinegar in a bowl and mix. Add the chopped basil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4 Slice the baguette on a diagonal about 1/2 inch thick slices. Coat one side of each slice with olive oil using a pastry brush. Place on a cooking sheet, olive oil side down. You will want to toast them in the top rack in your oven, so you may need to do these in batches depending on the size of your oven. Once the oven has reached 450°F, place a tray of bread slices in the oven on the top rack. Toast for 5-6 minutes, until the bread just begins to turn golden brown.
Alternatively, you can toast the bread without coating it in olive oil first. Toast on a griddle for 1 minute on each side. Take a sharp knife and score each slice 3 times. Rub some garlic in the slices and drizzle half a teaspoon of olive oil on each slice. This is the more traditional method of making bruschetta.
5 Align the bread on a serving platter, olive oil side up. Either place the tomato topping in a bowl separately with a spoon for people to serve themselves over the bread, or place some topping on each slice of bread and serve. If you top each slice with the tomatoes, do it right before serving or the bread may get soggy.
Makes 24 small slices. Serves 6-10 as an appetizer. Or 3-4 for lunch (delicious served with cottage cheese on the side.)

How do you make sugar free plum jelly?
Jam can't truly be "sugar free", as the fruits contain natural sugars, however, you CAN make "no sugar added" jams. You simply follow your standard recipes, and replace the amount of sugar it calls for with the proper amount of artificial sweetener. The sweetener you choose will have a conversion chart on the packaging. Do NOT substitute the same quantity of artificial sweetener for sugar. For instance, if it calls for 1 cup of Sugar, you would add, say, 1 tsp. of Splenda (this can vary, depending on the sweetener).
What are the main 5 ingredients in tomato sauce?

Can you use condensed milk instead of regular milk for cornbread?
Condensed milk and regular (fresh) milk are very different ingredients. Condensed milk is much thicker and sweeter-- it has a syrupy consistency and can be eaten with a spoon. Fresh milk is very different, not as thick or sweet and drinkable. Regular milk is not a good substitute for condensed milk.

Green food coloring WOULD work (if beating the leprechaun doesn't work). And -- I'm not kidding about this -- adding green cream de menthe to the beer will color the beer markedly. It doesn't take much. We always do this on St. Patrick's Day. But not with good beer.
