Does anyone else have problems with the amount of liquid in the recipes in 'cooking without'?

Its by Barbara Cousins and I always seem to have waaay too much liquid in all my mixes. It doesnt matter too much because I have been varying it but the baking is difficult to guess. Is it me or is it the book?Does anyone else have problems with the amount of liquid in the recipes in 'cooking without'?
I have never read that cookbook but I live in the Denver, CO area and notice that I have had to adjust the amount of water recipees call for due to the altitude here.Does anyone else have problems with the amount of liquid in the recipes in 'cooking without'?
usually, it's always better to add a little less(liquid) than the recipes says. and and more if you need it. they always say ';it's better to add than take away';

What are some tasty, easy recipes for cooking outdoors?

Something you could cook on an open fire or over a bed of coals.





Please list the link. Thanks!What are some tasty, easy recipes for cooking outdoors?
When I was younger, my family would bring tin foil and a bunch of veggies (like onions, carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, etc) when we went camping. We would cut up the veggies and put them on the tin foil with a bunch of butter and spices (like onion powder and italian seasoning and salt). Then wrap them up /really/ good, and stick them in the coals (like covered in coals) for about fifteen minutes...then take out and enjoy! Just have to be careful because they are very hot and black from the fire. Mmmm!

I need help! why wont anyone answer - cooking&recipes/food?

I'm just looking for suggestions for meals. I want to make a decent breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner tomorrow. Do you have any suggestions? What's your favorite?I need help! why wont anyone answer - cooking%26amp;recipes/food?
Breakfast - make eggs and whole wheat toast with OJ and coffee





Lunch- I would make chicken Caesar salad wraps.


I love mission's garden spinach wraps, for the filling make a Caesar salad like you normally would- romaine lettuce, croutons, a little parm, Caesar dressing, grilled chicken pieces - (maybe olives and tomatoes too?) make enough for everyone to have 2 wraps, make sure not to fill them too full or the wraps will break.





Dinner- Stir-fry veggies and chicken.





I usually use frozen broccoli and frozen sugar snap peas and then add any fresh vegetables that I have around the house or that or on sale. Onions, mushrooms, cabbage, red, yellow, orange or green bell peppers... or anything else that looks good. I would stir fry each veggie individually and transfer them to a large bowl until you are ready to make the sauce





For your sauce combine 1/2 cup chicken broth (which you can make from bouillon or use canned) with 3T soy sauce 2T oyster sauce, 1T brown sugar, and 1/4tsp Red Pepper powder or flakes. combine these ingredients in the bottom of your wok and stir until they are well blended. Then mix 1T flour or cornstarch with a little water to use as thickener and slowly stir it into the sauce. Dump in your veggies and cooked chicken and mix together until everything is hot again and serve over warm rice.I need help! why wont anyone answer - cooking%26amp;recipes/food?
Oyster sauce is just a type of sauce you can find in the Chinese food aisle at any major grocery store. If you can't find it you could leave it out and add the same amount of soy sauce. Report Abuse

Chicken Fajita





INGREDIENTS


1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch strips


1 tablespoon vegetable oil


2 teaspoons chili powder


1/2 teaspoon ground cumin


1/2 teaspoon garlic powder


1 small onion, sliced


1 small green bell pepper, chopped


1 cup salsa


1 (8-oz) package shredded Monterrey Jack Cheese


Tortillas


Topping Ideas: Chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream

















DIRECTIONS


In a skillet, saute chicken in oil over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in chili powder, salt, cumin and garlic powder. Remove from skillet and set aside.


Add onion and bell pepper to skillet ( I also like to add the spices in the skillet again for more flavor: 2 teaspoons chili powder,


1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder) and saute for about 5 minutes or until tender)





You can either serve this dish on tortillas like a regualr fajita, or it also goes well just as like a salad with black beans, rice, lettuce, etc. But the way that i usually make it is you just get a store bought pizza dough, roll it out to the size you need put it in a 425F oven for 10-15 minutes (until it starts to become golden brown) then put all the ingredients ontop of it (except for like sour cream lettuce and things like that) then pop it back in the 425F oven for about another 10-15 minutes (until the cheese is really nice and melted).

    2 tbsp. butter


    1 can condensed cream of asparagus soup


    1/4 c. milk


    1/2 c. chopped onion

    rub outside of tenderloin with salt, pepper, sage, rosemary, thyme, chopped garlic %26amp; a little olive oil. fold small end under itself to make that end as thick as the thick end (it will cook more evenly that way) and place in a glass or light colored baking dish, add 1-2 cups liquid (wine, beer, water, chicken broth, whatever). heat oven to 425 degrees f. cover dish with foil %26amp; bake for 15 minutes, reduce temperature to 350, remove foil, bake for 20 minutes until browned %26amp; liquid is reduced by half. serve with boiled buttered potatoes and a green vegetable.





    also, it doesn't take very long to cook a small pork tenderloin. invest in a meat thermometer. cook pork to an internal temperature of 160. always allow the meat to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing, so that the juices stay in the meat.
    Cuban Style Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches





    1 2/3 to 2 pounds pork tenderloin, 2 pieces, the average weight of 1 package, trimmed


    Extra virgin olive oil or vegetable oil, for drizzling


    1 small onion, minced


    4 cloves garlic, finely chopped


    2 limes, zested


    1 large orange, zested


    1 teaspoon coarse salt


    1 teaspoon coarse black pepper


    1 teaspoon dried oregano





    Cuban sweet rolls:


    8 crusty rolls, such as Portuguese rolls, torpedo loaves or muffuletta style round rolls


    4 teaspoons sugar





    Relish for sandwiches:


    6 dill pickles, chopped


    1/2 cup sweet red pepper relish


    2 scallions, chopped





    Sandwich fixins:


    1 pound shaved ham, from the deli counter


    1 pound shaved Swiss cheese, from the deli counter


    4 tablespoons butter, for toasting sandwiches





    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.


    Coat tenderloins with oil. Combine onion, garlic, citrus zest, salt, pepper and dried oregano in a pile on your cutting board. Pack this coating equally and evenly onto the tenderloins. Heat a large skillet. Add a drizzle of oil and sear tenderloin on all sides. Then place in hot oven to roast 20 to 25 minutes. Wash hands.





    Brush rolls with a little warm water and sprinkle the tops of the rolls with 1/2 teaspoon sugar each. Pile rolls on a baking sheet and place in oven with meat for 5 minutes to crust rolls and set sugar. Authentic Cuban rolls used for this sandwich are sweet. This sugar wash process gives a similar effect to store bought rolls. When rolls come out of oven, split and pile on serving plate.





    To assemble sandwiches: Thinly slice meat on an angle. Place ham and Swiss cheese on a serving plate, separating and fluffing up the shaved meat and cheese. Assemble sandwiches with desired fillings and place on a hot, buttered griddle. Use a heavy pan to press the sandwiches together. Toast until golden brown, then flip and toast the other side.





    Combine chopped pickles, sweet red pepper relish and scallions in a small bowl.





    Spread the relish on the tops of the rolls and pork slices, ham, and swiss cheese on the bottoms. Press the sandwiches together. Put about 1 tablespoon of butter on the hot griddle and spread to coat. Put 2 sandwiches at a time on the griddle, and top with a heavy cast-iron skillet. Toast sandwiches on the griddle, turning once, until golden, hot, and cheese is melted, 2 or 3 minutes per side.
    How I do it is I pour a little extra virgin olive oil over the top, I poke holes into it and place slivered garlic pieces. A little salt and fresh ground pepper make for a heavenly piece of meat. Enjoy.

    Bread Dough, then all you have to do is take it out of the freezer let it rise and bake it.
    Chilli!!!!!
    Anything with plenty of sauce, I always freeze bolognaise, stew, chilli, lasagne, paprika pork etc.
    I've followed my mum tradition of making a huge shepherds pie and then portioning it into individual meals for the freezer. It is so miuch easier taking it out in the morning to defrost and just heat it up when you get home.
    I mainly make lots of desserts and meat pies, lasagne, casseroles and freeze. These things are for emergency. Don't like frozen foods though. Fresh is always best!
    BOLOGNAISE, CASSEROLES, SOUPS , STEWS, FRUIT
    Water??
    Beef and Carrot casserole
    Irish stew. Before those veg and the best of left over meat go off, make a potful of stew, and freeze it in usable sized portions.
    I make a Curry with a ';cook in'; sauce, add some extra veg, prepare rice separately and distribute into freezer boxes to freeze ready to microwave later.


    The ';Mac';
    Lasagna works well for this.
    lasagna, and any kind of pasta which is cooked in the oven.


    little octopus cooked with lentils, and small tomatoes (let me know if you need the recipe!)
    Pasta bolognaise
    I like to make soup from fresh urine and excrement, then freeze it for a day when I can't be bothered to cook.
    THE SIMPLE MEALS ARE ALWAYS THE BEST. CHILLI, CURRY AND SPAGBOL. WE COOK UP A STUPID AMOUNT EVERY NOW AND THEN, HAVE ONE MEAL FROM IT, THEN PUT THE REST IN EITHER SANDWICH BAGS OR CHINESE TAKEAWAY TUBS THAT WE KEEP FOR JUST THAT THING. MAKES LATE NIGHT RETURNS HOME SIMPLE FOR A GREAT MEAL. EVEN BOLOGNAISE ON TOAST, WITH WORCESTER SAUCE SPLASHED ALL OVER IT, WITH A GLASS OF RED.





    IN FACT, IVE GOT MY JUICES FLOWING, WHERES THE FREEZER?!!!!
    sausages and mash,,,, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm yummy
    chilli con carne


    i dont like any other frozen food i prefer fresh

    Why on earth are there so many recipes for cooking a turkey from frozen when it's heavily advertised not to ?

    It all depends on the prep and the size and weight of the turkey. Some newer models, AKA Oven ready are made in a way that maximizes surface area for quick thaw-less cookingWhy on earth are there so many recipes for cooking a turkey from frozen when it's heavily advertised not to ?
    I don't know because I've never seen one. A recipe that is. Frozen turkeys are better used to play barnyard bowling anyways.





    Hey Flexi.......your avatar has a sore butt??Why on earth are there so many recipes for cooking a turkey from frozen when it's heavily advertised not to ?
    People are too lazy. We should just eat our turkeys frozen. Heck just eat it fresh, right off the bird, just leave those little legs standing there supporting nothing but atmosphere... ha ha.

    How important is it to follow steps and exact ingredients in recipes when cooking?

    for me personally, i dont' think it's that important, I think the recipe is just a good guideline to follow. You can omit certain ingredients which you may not have on hand or may not prefer. And some of the steps can changed for a matter of convenience...but basically if you've cooked before, there are things you know you can and cannot do when cooking..And if it turns out bad, you learn from your experience....how do expert cooks feel about this? Thanks!How important is it to follow steps and exact ingredients in recipes when cooking?
    Cooking is an art; baking is more of a science. My Mom never owned a cook book or a measuring cup; and often made do when she was missing an ingredient.


    I followed her example, owned a catering business, and most consider me a great cook; plus, I love it.


    In baking however, unless you have LOTS of experience, you'd better follow a good recipe.How important is it to follow steps and exact ingredients in recipes when cooking?
    That's fine unless you're baking. Then your measurements have to be exact. I, myself like to modify most of my regular cooking recipes, it makes it more your own and usually becomes a family favorite.
    Heh, at least I'm not the only one who uses more garlic than called for! If it's a new recipe, I follow it pretty much to the letter, then make mental notes about what I could change to make it better next time around. I have my tried and true recipes from the years kicking around in my head that I don't need to look at a recipe anymore.





    Now, baking is much different, at least for me. The most I'll do to a recipe is add more herbs. Otherwise it's by the book!
    I agree...i look at the recipes but never follow them i add my own touches and have never had any conplaints...now im not saying im a good cook but i do enjoy it
    it all depends on the recipe if it is baking then most of the time i try to follow the recipe almost exact but with any other recipe wether it be meat or anyother type i make it up as i go sometimes looking at the recipe but most of the time i make my own recipe when it comes to cooking it is easier then having the same old same old and it is fun my son loves to cook with me we actually have fun not following all of the directions as i tell him but he knows that the recipe is there if he ever wants to try it the way it is written from our family or friends so it is good to change or not even use the recipe unless you are baking when you are doing that i usually try to folllow this pretty close but i do change it a little to say that it is my own so not always following a recipe is alright and it can actually be fun cause you are making up your won as you go along
    When it comes to cooking, I alter and change every recipe I find to fit my family's likes. When it comes to anything baked though, I stick to the mane in gredients and amounts b/c baking can be more like science then creativity.
    for savory items i rarely follow the recipe, but for baking you need to stick with it. Baking is a science and the ingredients need to be in the proper proportions.
    You already have given the answer so why ask the question? But I will say I agree with you. I don't follow recipe one. Never have and never will. OH, By the way, I am a very good cook.
    ditto
    When cooking? Not so much. When baking? A little more important or things may not raise correctly...for instance, salt is necessary when using baking soda to get the soda to react, etc.
    Soooooo important for others who eat your prepared food!


    Not So important if only you eat it!!





    Practice makes a man perfect! Keep cooking!
    I agree with you. The only ingredients that are essential to follow the precise amounts are those in baking where a chemical reaction occurs (yeast, baking powder, salt, baking soda). Otherwise, a dash here and there will suffice instead of precisely measured 1/4 teaspoons. Nuts? Nope, don't want 'em. Too little garlic? Add 5x the amount in the recipe. This is how I cook, with reckless abandon!
    It depends on the recipe. If a recipe turning out correctly depends on certain chemical reactions or relationships between ingredients (like cakes rising, correct sweet-sour-salty ratio in a sauce, souffle rising, custard setting), those ingredients have to be pretty much exact to get it right. However, if it's something like leaving out onions or a seasoning that you dislike in cooking, it'll usually be okay.
    You should follow the recipes to the letter. After all, these are recipes that have been perfected.
    mixing it up to the way you would prefer it is perfectly fine. baking is the only thing that you would have to follow everything. or it would be gross and not look yummy at all.

  • Anyone have any good recipes for cooking rainbow trout on the grill?

    Here's what I usually do:





    After you clean the fish, stuff it with chopped onions, celery, cilantro and sprinkle in some lemon pepper. Then wrap the fish in bacon and then wrap some tin foil around it. Throw it on the grill and when it's close to done, remove the foil and finish cooking without the foil.





    It comes out pretty good! However, my wife's not crazy about that recipe. I'd like to make something different for a change; something that we'll BOTH enjoy. So...

    I chop up sweet banana peppers and add them to shredded potatoes, and fry them. At the last minute, I add parmesan cheese. These great hash browns make a wonderful late night TV snack.
    I don't know of any relishes or chutney's...however, I have stuffed them with cream cheese (seasoned with Cavender's Greek Seasoning) and baked them (just until cheese melted somewhat...) Very tasty! Also great chopped on a salad!

    Does anyone have any good organic cooking recipes?

    trying to go more natural and being healthy . i would like it if you guys had any ideas for recipes. thanksDoes anyone have any good organic cooking recipes?
    same recipes as for non-organic food.





    the advantage with organic produce is that you don't have to peel some vegetables or wash them forever. I don't peel my carrots (the skin has a lot of vitamins), I don't peel potatoes, zucchini, eggplant etc etc... when it's organic you feel ok not peeling and it makes cooking faster!





    otherwise it's the same recipes.


    If you meant vegetarian cooking, I would recommend Vegetarian Times or any veggie recipe online!


    it's very easy.





    Good luck!Does anyone have any good organic cooking recipes?
    take some vegetables and cook them short, make a pi nut butter sauce with a bit hot pepper in it and combine the two on your desk
    organic is nothing but a way for food companies to make money. they plant the seed in your head and make you believe you need it or it is good for you. dont believe in it. eat healthy stay fit die anyway!!!!!!

    Here's the answer to simple cooking: the Crock Pot (slow cooker). You only have to cut up stuff and throw it in, set it on low, and it will be done by the time you return home. I always test out recipes during the weekend to make sure that 12 hours on low won't burn anything. But after that I am able to make meals the night before or even setting aside 5 minutes in the morning to dump all the pre-made ingredients in will result in an easy, wonderful meal in the evening when you get home.





    Most CrockPots come with recipes but there are many recipe books out there made just for the slow cooker. Try some out! Here's a helpful link:





    www.Crock-Pot.com
    www.cooks.com





    It has a great search feature so you can type in what you have and it'll open all the recipes that you can make with that





    There's also a book you can get for pretty cheap that is called 4 ingredient recipes or 5 ingredient recipes that I use all the time. Everything is 15 mins. or less of prep time and usually less than 30 cooking time. Enjoy!
    allrecipes.com is good. so is cooks.com

    Does anyone have any good recipes for cooking in the microwave?

    I live in the dorms at a local college and have no stove/oven to cook in, so I am constantly missing out on real food. If anyone has any helpful and good resipes for cooking in the microwave or any other method they have created please help!!Does anyone have any good recipes for cooking in the microwave?
    This is a very hearty soup and needs only garlic bread, and perhaps a salad, to complete





    the meal.





    1/3 cup chopped red or green bell peppers


    1/4 cup chopped onions


    1 pkg. (8 oz.) light cream cheese, cubed


    1 cup skim milk


    1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules


    1 cup very hot water


    1 can (8 oz.) cream-style corn


    1/2 teaspoon salt


    1/8 teaspoon black pepper





    Place pepper and onion in microwave casserole. Cover and cook for 1-2 minutes on High power (100%) until vegetables soften. Add cream cheese and milk. Heat on Medium-high power (70%) for 3-6 minutes, stirring once or twice, until cheese is melted and mixture is smooth. Dissolve bouillon granules in hot water. Stir into cream cheese mixture. Add remaining ingredients and continue to heat on Medium-high power (70%), stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes or until soup is very hot.Does anyone have any good recipes for cooking in the microwave?
    Check out the link - there's recipes for brownies, curry and even eggs benedict. http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_hs/鈥?/a>
    they have special cookbooks just for microwave cooking....go to the bookstore and look for one, or maybe try googling ';microwave recipes'; and see if anything comes up
    I'm a college student too. I love to cook, but I also know that it's difficult to make full meals, chopping up veggies and measuring lots of ingredients. Some things that I like to do: I got a microwave rice cooker for Christmas from Pampered Chef (I'm sure there are cheaper brands) that works well for cooking steaming rice or vegetables. PastaRoni has microwave instructions. Our cafeteria sells hard-boiled eggs and those can be made into egg salad or deviled eggs.
    ITALIAN STYLE CHICKEN BREASTS





    2 eggs, slightly beaten


    1/2 c. seasoned bread crumbs


    1/4 c. Parmesan cheese


    1 can tomato sauce


    1 tsp. Italian seasoning


    1/4 tsp. garlic powder





    Dip chicken breasts in eggs, then crumb mixture. To make the crumb mixture, combine the bread crumbs and the Parmesan cheese. Microwave in 1 1/2 quart casserole, loosely covered with wax paper, for 5 minutes. Turn over and cover with sauce. To make the sauce, combine the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Put over top of chicken; cover loosely and cook 4 minutes. Place slices of Mozzarella cheese on each chicken breast and cook 2 minutes. Let stand 3 to 4 minutes, covered.

    Most dal recipes are prepared quite simply. The basic recipe for dal begins with combining the following ingredients in a deep pot:





    * 1 cup dal of any variety


    * 2-3 cups water


    * 录 tsp turmeric





    Bring to a boil, cook over medium heat until soft, and then add salt to taste. Masoor and mung varieties cook quickly, in 25-30 minutes, while other varieties may take an hour or more. In some recipes, ginger, tamarind, unripe mango, or other ingredients are added while cooking the daal, often to impart a sour flavor.





    When ready to serve, a tadka or baghaar is prepared to flavor the dish. Heat 2 tbsp oil or ghee in a small frying pan, and add a selection of spices and flavorings. The ingredients in the tadka for each variety of dal vary by region and individual tastes, but common tadka combinations include:





    * 1 tsp cumin seed


    * 1/4 tsp chili powder


    * 1 small onion, sliced thinly





    and





    * 1/2 tsp black mustard seed


    * 2 cloves garlic, minced





    Both of these combinations go well with masoor dal. Other common tadka ingredients include asafoetida, fresh or dried chili pods, cilantro and garam masala. Add the raw spices first, fry for a few seconds in the hot oil, and then add the remaining ingredients. The garlic need only fry for a minute or two, but the onion should be fried for 10 minutes or until browned. Add the spice-infused oil to the cooked dal and serve with bread or over Basmati rice.
    select any of the dals, like tur, moong, massor, or mix them prportionately, by adding some chana dal also.


    for best results, soak the dals in cold water, for 20 minutes, wash and drain, put in the slow cooker, 4 whistles on medium fire, are enough.


    assemble, onions, garlic, ginger, green chiilies, tomatoes, white gourd, baby potatoes, coriander, bay leaves.


    in masalas, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, black mustard seeds, hing, salt, a little pulp of tamarind, small ball of yellow jaggery.


    after the dal is cooked, heat refined oil, 2 table spoons, in a deep pan, put mustard, cumin, and asphoetida, i.e. hing, in that order, let the seeds crackle, but not burn, add kadhi patta, pour dal, stir, add masalas, pulp of tamarin and gud.


    bring to a boil in 5 minutes, since the dal is already cooked, and serve steaming hot , with rice, or rotis,


    garnish with chopped coriander leaves, and some grated fresh coconut, if you like.


    have curds also with rice, the combination is simply marvellous !

I would suggest you to make them a bit more tasteful by boiling the gnocchi and then in another pan pour a bit of olive oil, cut a little bit of garlic in tiny bits, fry the garlic in the pan till it is getting a bit brown, then add the gnocchi, the tomato sauce, oregano spice ( great for pasta) and then the Parmesan cheese...and ready to eat!!! simply lovely!!

    Left over recipes...cooking on a budget?

    I need to budget my money right now.





    Looking in my freezer I have some cooked meats and I wanted to know if anyone had some cheap and easy recipes ideas that could help me out.





    I have some cooked pork from pork chops and country ribs.





    I also have some cooked beef, left over from a roast.





    I don鈥檛 want any extravagant recipes, I鈥檓 needing to save some money so inexpensive meals are a plus.





    Thanks for your help.Left over recipes...cooking on a budget?
    pork chops or roast beef (not both) shredded and served over rice with brown gravy.





    stew the roast beef about an hour. Shred it and mixed with some BBQ sauce (or salsa) - served on buns





    cube the pork and beef, put in a pot with 1 can of tomato sauce, 1 cup of water, and 1 can of mixed vegetables. Stew for about 30 minutes. Add 1/2 cup rice and cook covered for about 20 more. Soup!





    Dice the pork chops. Make ramen. Put the pork in the ramen and eat.Left over recipes...cooking on a budget?
    I use leftover pork to make sweet and sour stir fry, whatever veggies like onion, peppers, mushrooms, canned water chestnuts, in a sauce with equal amounts of sugar and vinegar, half that amount of soy sauce, ground ginger, or not, and alittle corn starch to thicken.
    make a pie or sheppards pie with left over roast meat, chop it up, add cooked veges and gravy, pour into a dish and top with mashed potato,
    I love leftovers and have actually made leftover meals from leftovers.


    Cook some onion, add the meat in bite size pieces and heat it up. Add a can of cream soup like mushroom or celery. Add half a soup can of milk and heat it up. Can put in some frozen peas.


    In the meantime cook some noodles, any kind.


    When they are cooked put the noodles on a plate and put the meat sauce over them.


    Or you can mix the noodles and meat sauce together in the pan and serve it like that.


    You can sprinkle some shredded cheese on top if you like cheese.


    My family always likes this kind of dish.
    These are recipes using stuff you have... Pretty good sounding, I might add.

    I saute the veggies ( whatever I have in the frig) in butter and then throw in the meat. Once warm add the rice and some soy sauce or teriyaki sauce. BBQ works too.





    The cooked beef you can shred and warm in a crock pot with some BBQ. BBQ beef sandwiches are quick and easy. This works with the ribs too.
