    Herbal lozenges

    the problem is though that Halls has no actual honey in their lozenges. While I know it tastes wonderful, I don't know if it will cook up the same as corn syrup. So, I may just end up with a pile of sugary mush. :lol: But... that might not be the end of the world either. Goodness knows I've...

    Herbal lozenges

    http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Homemade-Cough-Drops Tonight's project is cough drops. I have tons of beautiful orange thyme in my garden that should make ideal herbal lozenges. I think though that where this recipe calls for light corn syrup, I may try honey instead. Any experience with candy...

    It is all smelling HEAVENLY right now. The chowder turned out awesome and the biscuits are baking. My daughter is hovering six inches off the floor she is so excited to have baked them. I'm in for a feast when the boys return from son's drama class.

    Last night's supper was roast chicken, covered in bacon (just because I had some kicking around) to 'self baste' he bird. So, once supper was over, the bacon and carcass went into a pot with a couple carrots, some onion, and some garlic I'd roasted alongside the bird. I boiled it down until I...

    Meals using Sausages

    I wonder how it would be with 'veggie ground round'. Hubby can handle a bit of red meat, but, anywhere I can substitute is a bonus. Friday's lasagna for example ended up being made with crumbled chicken meat balls instead of Italian sausage the way I like.

    Meals using Sausages

    See, I go even further when doing spaghetti and meat balls. I take the meat out of the casing and make little meat balls. Fry them up in the pot I'll be making the sauce in until nicely browned, then deglaze with a touch of red wine. Add your sauce and simmer, and you have on heck of a...

    Meals using Sausages

    I'd have to say one of my fave sausage dishes is lasagna. Instead of ground beef (which i what we grew up eating in lasagna), take Italian sausage and crumble it into your fave recipe. Perfection.

    Have you used induction cooker?

    On a hot day I use the side burner on the barbeque. Even an induction cooker boiling water will make the house muggier than it may already be. lol

    Have you used induction cooker?

    Personally I like how long the smooth tops stay warm. It helps keep the food warm when it's not all perfectly timed.

    Have you used induction cooker?

    Through Zellers they're really not too crazy expensive, but, if you look at Sears they're charging almost $200 per pan. And, some of the stainless steel pots are already usable through induction. Essentially, it's just that you have to have a magnetic pan, and so many pans are copper and/or...

    Have you used induction cooker?

    juan, if you'd wanted that same range in induction, you'd have been looking well over $5000 from what I've read. Plus you'd have to buy induction pots and pans. It's not a practical solution for a full range yet, imo. I'm considering buying the small induction burner from Zellers, only...

    Have you used induction cooker?

    I was thinking I would go with the Zellers system so I have one energy saving induction burner (which works like gas Herm.. once the heat is off, it's off), and keep my main electrical stove. I've always cooked with electric, so I'm very used to it.

    Have you used induction cooker?

    I'm not about to click the link (sorry... don't know you... I'm paranoid) but I've been eying up the new induction cookware and cook top through Zellers. For roughly $500, you get a huge set of pots and an induction cook top. Pretty decent. Zellers induction cookware
