Any good recipe suggestions?

[usmcwife 3]

So I'm getting pretty bored waiting for a greencard or EAD. I'm spending time cooking, cleaning and crafting. All of which I love to do. Well, maybe not the cleaning part. I keep finding good looking recipes online but then they end up not being very tasty. (One was almost unedible!).

I guess I'm asking if anyone has any favourite recipes they don't mind sharing. I love cooking and my new husband is enjoying having me home to cook for him again.

Anything will be welcome, main dish, dessert, side dishes, and any kind of international cuisine.

Thanks!

You absolutely must try Black Bottom Cupcakes! They are amazingly scrumptious and stay moist for over a week!

kraft.com and campbells.com both have good recipes on them.

Family recipe from my Grandma of one of my fav dishes:

Hashbrown Casserole:

Cooking time: 1-2 hours

Oven Temp: 350F

Serves: about 4-6 depending on serving size

- 1 large bag hasbrowns [frozen]

- 2 cans cream mushroom soup [alternate is cream chicken, or cream celery, or a combo of any two]

- 1 cup shredded cheese

- 1 cup milk

- 1/2 to 1 cup sour cream

- onion to taste

- garlic to taste

- salt and pepper to taste

- can also throw in mushrooms or anything else you think you would like in this

- 1 cup regular cornflakes semi crushed

Mix all ingredients [except cornflakes] together in a very large mixing bowl.

Spray a glass baking pan, and spread in pan and press firmly until it's flat ontop.

Sprinkle the cornflakes ontop of the casserole.

Test after 1 hour to see if potatoes are cooked [soft], if not continue cooking.

Enjoy!

I've been staying home a lot as well and what I end up doing is canning and freezing a lot of stuff. It's pretty simple, just go down to the market and get some fruits or veggies in season and you can store them for winter!

I make a lot of stuff from my head, like last night I sliced up some sausage, cooked it with garlic, eggplant, zucchini and heirloom tomatoes ( and a bit of chicken stock) and served it on rice. It was really good.

I used to have a subscription to Taste Of Home magazine. Best recipes ever in there!!! Not sure if they have a website or not. Hmmmm, now I'm gonna go google that!

one of my guilty pleasures is Kraft magazine.. I look forward to that coming every month.. it used to be free but now it is about 14 bucks for a 2 year subscription, which is a good deal still though

I highly recommend anything Marilyn makes

Her Ugly Naked chicken and Tamale pie are now family favourites
