Just thought I'd let you know that I'm trying the crock-pot chicken method today. Except I ran out of tinfoil and haven't been to the store to get any so hubby got clever and suggested using our metal veggie strainer upside down in the bottom of the crockpot w/ the chicken on top! It fits...
I read on another forum about using the homemade detergent and people were saying that it was graying their whites a bit. They also had hard water so they were adding calgon water softener to their mix and that was solving the problem. Just thought I'd pass that on if someone else was...

Has anyone tried this without the colorsafe bleach? I told a friend about this recipe and she would like to try but doesn't like using colorsafe bleach. Anyone know??
Also, for those of you that have been using your homemade laundry and dishwasher detergents for a while now, how is it...
If you have some pasta on hand, like linguine or spaghetti, cook that first. Put cut up squash in a 2 qt. pot and add a couple tablespoons of water along with some seasoning salt, garlic powder and oil/butter. Put lid on and cook over medium until squash softens a bit. Remove lid and let water...

I'm wondering which companies you've had luck getting coupons from in the mail? I've tried several of the companies that we buy a lot of stuff from with no luck. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Since we have a bit of a heatwave going on here right now, I'd like to fire up my crockpot instead of my oven to cook dinner. I have a lot of soup & stew recipes for my crockpot and I do pulled pork a lot, but I need something new and not as heavy as stew. Can you share some great summertime...
Thanks guys! I'll have to experiment and see which one comes the closest. The ones from the bakery (and I think Starbucks too) use candied lemon peel and so maybe I'll try some of that.
Here are a couple different casseroles that my family loves.
Chile Chicken Casserole
1 T. olive oil
1 lrg. onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
1 medium bell pepper, chopped (your choice as to color)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped or minced
3 cups diced or shredded cooked chicken
3 cups cooked white...
A local bakery in town makes WONDERFUL lemon scones. They are sooooooo tasty but pricey, so I only treat myself to one once in a while. Starbucks also makes a yummy lemon scone that *almost* comes close to the local bakery's. Does anyone have a fab recipe they'd like to share?? Pretty pleeeease??
Creamy peanut butter and marshmello fluff on white bread as a sandwich. This was the only sandwich I'd eat as a little kid...sheesh...I can't believe my Mom called that lunch!
Also, my Gram used to take her leftover pie crust pieces and roll them up with a little cinnamon and sugar and bake...
We have ants invading our house right now. With 3 little ones around, there is always a crumb for the ants to find somewhere in the kitchen. Anyway, does anyone have any human/pet friendly ant-killer rememdies (that don't stink)?? Windex kills them instantly if there are a ton crowded around one...
I don't have 3 round pans, only 2. Can this recipe be made in another type of pan? A bundt maybe?? 13x9? I'm dying to try it because I recently made a yellow cake from scratch and it was pretty disappointing. Very blah....
One of my chicks had this same problem too. I just kept an eye on her and she was fine. A few of the other chicks did peck at it every now and then, but she's fine in spite of it! Poor baby....
I *think* our chicks from the feedstore came from Ideal as well. Maybe our two australorpes are sisters?! Glad to hear your Runt is doing well too. Our Ameracaunas are gigantic compaired to little Grace...it's strange.
We started our flock with 5 chicks on the 15th of May. I purchased them from our local feed store and we got 2 Ameracaunas, 2 RIRs, & the one black australorp. One week later, we purchased 4 more silver-laced wyandottes and added them to our flock too. Now that the original 5 are 2 weeks old...
We are getting our 10 chicks either tomorrow (thursday) or Friday, depending on which types of chicks the 2 different feed stores get. Anyway, the drive home from one feed store is about 30 min, the other is about 15 min. What should I take to bring them home in? I was thinking of a small...
