I make a lot of homemade bread so I buy flour in bulk. To make measuring easier I keep a mandarin orange can in my flour container. It measures 2 cups and has grooves inside at the 1/2 and 1 cup level.
This is not really a 'recipe' but a suggestion. I have for several years now served the small ears of corn you find in the freezer section. They had corn/maize at the first Thanksgiving and I am sure it was 'on the cob' not cut off the cob.
I made these caramel apples as a party favor for my step daughter's baby shower. I made 24. It took about 2 1/2 hours from the first unwrapped caramel to the dressed up favor. These would be also nice for a fall themed bridal shower or wedding favor.
I buy the throw-away aluminum baking pans with lids to send leftovers home for my guests. Example: for my three children, I buy 2 pans for each family; one for the main meal leftovers and one for desserts.
Cranberries are cheapest now, and unavailable at many time of the year. Buy extra and just stick them in the freezer as is. Frozen berries can be used in all recipes calling for fresh.
I am cooking two turkey breasts. They are each a little over 9 pounds. I am cooking them in a convection oven. What temperature should they be cooked at and how long should they be cooked?
I just baked some bread last night using yeast and it had a funny plastic-like aftertaste sprinkled throughout the loaf. What could be the cause? I kneaded it by hand and baked it in the oven.
