And cooking is the last thing on my mind. So in a search for help cooking for my family rather than getting fastfood all the time and I came across Walmarts new cooking show with Cheryl Dent. All her meals are quick with shopping lists, and she offers great tips for any future cooking I do... her site...

I have used Beef Broth to Saute onions and/or mushrooms for burgers. You can add it to your beef stew or even spagetti sauce if you are doing meatballs or ground meat in it. I cannot think of more now either. I have spent the last 10 days at a conference followed by a short vacation.

I'm thinking of starting to can things at home, but have no idea where to start. I've found plenty of online instructions on it, but if anyone has any pointers, they'd be appreciated. I'd be starting out by canning drink mixes, tomato sauce and soup, but may move on to other things once...

We did this a few weeks ago, and I was floored how much we had stashed away. We have a Costco membership, and it really paid for itself the third week of April when we were out of ready cash and still needed to eat. (I blogged about it over at LiveJournal, if you're inclined to see.) We're in...

Hello! I'm new to this group and I'm wondering if anyone out there is saving money by making their own dog food? I've been home preparing for quite some time but I want to know what others are doing. Thanks, MaryD.

Ok, so "tragedy" is a bit melodramatic...but HofPapa managed last night to set the Crockpot on fire. He had put it on the stove and accidentally turned on the burner underneath (counterspace is kind of at a premium). The crock and lid are okay, but the actual heating element melted, burned...

Since we had a nice long thread about beans recently, I have a great supply of bean recipes now. What are your other super stretchy meals? I'll post mine as I think of them.

Haven't seen anyone start this thread yet, so I will. Is anyone buying the July box? Here is the menu: July Angel Food 40 oz. Marie Callender’s ® Family Crock Pot Dinner (Meat Included) 1.5 lb. Boneless Pork Filet 5 lb. Breaded Chicken Chunks 1.5 lb. Meaty Beef Ribs 28 oz. Meatloaf and Gravy 1 lb...

We purchased a new Sears drop-in, electric range with convection oven about 18 months ago. We paid more to get the convection feature because it seemed like a good thing. The instructions tell you that it will cook about 20% faster then a regular oven. This means every time I cook something, I have look...
