Favorite stovetop pot roast recipe?
This is so simple that it probably does not qualify as a "recipe" but......
Slice onions and spread over bottom of Dutch oven. Make a dry rub of dried minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika. Rub mixture over meat. Brown meat on all sides over the onions. Cover with water and simmer for 30 minutes or so. Pour tomato sauce over meat and cook on medium heat until tender.
Need a recipe for Oreo cookie for crust or wafer substitute
Yes.... I always sprinkle the top of my chocolate pie with Oreo crumbs. Sort of a blackout pie.
Need a recipe for Oreo cookie for crust or wafer substitute
I have always used the whole cookie when making an Oreo crust. I grind the cookies and add melted butter or margarine and pat it into a pie pan. It is never lardy or too sweet and the perfect base for my no bake chocolate pie.
ISO recipe for cake from Friedhoffer's Bakery in New Hyde Park, NY
Ah.... I remember that bakery. I remember being a very little girl and being offered a cookie. You can't find those cookies ANY PLACE. Now that's a recipe I would love to have!
Cheesecake without Cream Cheese

What's For Breakfast?
Slimfast high protein shake and black coffee.... 'cause I've been bad lately.
Freezing baked cookies
You guys are so helpful... I appreciate your input.
And.... A frozen cookie has never stopped me... Unfortunately!!
Freezing baked cookies
I am in the process of baking several 100 cookies for a party that will take place in 2 weeks. Unfortunately, I will be very busy during this time and so need to bake and freeze. The cookies are shortbread that I dip in chocolate and decorate with sprinkles. Really very pretty and yummy too. How do I freeze these so that they stay pretty and edible?
Can I put the cookies in a cookie tin? I was told this would cause freezer burn.
Thanks so much for your help.
Need brunch menu help
A blintz soufflé is always a favorite at my brunches. It can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning.
What is one tip that you learned about cooking that was simple but made a huge difference? [old]
I freeze bagels (those I am not using immediately) as soon as I come home with them from the bagel place. I don't slice or change the bag. Just tightly roll up the brown grocery type bag the bagel person packs th in and into the freezer they go. There after when I want a bagel for breakfast I just leave it on the counter for about 40 minutes.....(enough time to shower and dress) and I have a bagel that is as fresh as the day I brought it home.
Best sandwich I ever invented
Turkey,pastrami,a little Russian dressing, Cole slaw, tomato slice on Italian bread...Mmmm!

On The Quest for the Perfect Cookbook
I agree with rainey. I have also found that organization cookbooks (favorite recipes shared by temples, school...... as fund raisers) are an excellent source. Real food by real people.
Julia Child's Beef Bourguignon...so-so
I made this twice in the past month. Followed Julia's recipe... except for the bacon (did not use). Used beef stew and chianti. The last time I served it in a bread bowl. Everyone loved it!
Julia Child's Beef Bourguignon...so-so
I agree. It's delicious.... But it is beef stew. If you are expecting a religious experience after eating it, you will be disapointed.
Chanukah luncheon menu
Ok guys Thanksgiving is over. Now I need some menu ideas for a dairy Chanukah luncheon. Thanks!
Stupid easy recipes you really love
Just made this for dessert. I used canned cherries in heavy syrup (16oz can) and poured dry Duncan Hines cake mix (Devils Food) on top. Dot with butter. Baked it at 350. Very yummy! Especially topped with vanilla ice cream!!!!!
