Any type of broth will work. Along with any type of meat also. Or, those dry soup mixes added with water will work too. I usually add a can on stewed tomatoes to give it a rich color and flavor. Cook either in a crock or simmer in a pot for a few hours. Cook noodles and add to bowl before adding soup, do not add the noodles to the pot of soup, the noodles will get gross. BAM, you now have a hearty meal. ... View related article.

Oh, the possibilities are endless! I suppose that you could make the "wrapping" from scratch, but I cheat a little. I use "wonton wrappers" these can be purchased at any grocery store, they come in squares or circles.
Then put a little, about a TBSP of your choice filling, see below. Fold the wrapper in 1/2, forming a "pocket". The pocket will get sticky with water, so work quickly and on a dry surface. Seal the edges of the wrapper with a little water. Make sure the filling is completely sealed in the pocket. Boil until they float, they are OK to eat at this point, but I also like to pan fried to get them a little brown.

I use applesauce instead of oil all the time. When I first started doing this, I only replaced 1/2 the oil, to get my family accustomed to it. Then I started slowly replacing more and more until I did not have to use oil anymore. Using applesauce, does give the cake a little different consistency than oil. I would not suggest to use all applesauce in a brownie recipe. Substitute 1/2 and 1/2. ... View related article.
Food tends to cute a bit quicker in a convection oven. My toaster oven does both, bakes and cooks convection. From my experience, meats veggies cook the same way as baking, only 1/3 of the time. I will not suggest to bake using the convection method, brownies and cake come out uneven. ... View related article.
I recently found a similar trick. I hate bananas but I was tired of throwing them away if my kid did not eat them. SO, I decided to cut them in coin shaped pieces and freeze. They are delicious. What a healthy treat on a hot day. Next I am going to try adding Magic Shell for chocolate covered bananas bites! ... View related article.
I freeze butter all the time. I found out that if the butter is kept in the original box (the one pound package), it tends to stay a better consistency when thawed. But that's my personal opinion. Then when I am running low, I removed a stick and put in the refrigerator. It thaws over night. ... View related article.
I freeze soup all the time. After the soup thaws, I do find it to be a little thick, but then I just add one cup of water and one bouillon cube (or canned broth). ... View related article.
