Elizabeth posted this in Chicken, Featured, Pasta on January 18th, 2010 I am not at all ashamed to admit that boxed meals with the word “Helper” in them appear on our dinner table once a month or so. This recipe that I found on BettyCrocker.com uses a box of Chicken Helper Fettucine Alfredo with extra ingredients added to kick up the flavor. I think it sounds [...]

Elizabeth posted this in Pasta, Reviews on October 16th, 2009 When I visited the Nestle Culinary Center for their blogger education event, our first stop was the Baking Kitchen where we got an overview of Nestle’s baking products, including Carnation Evaporated Milk. We learned that Evaporated Milk is made with fresh milk that is carefully heated to remove half the water, making it rich and [...]

This week’s questions are about funny-sounding foods, pronounciation, and something made with mozzarella cheese. Here we go!

I’ll admit it, I have a totally juvenile sense of humor. I still giggle when I see the word “wiener” for hot dog. And there’s this dessert [...]
Elizabeth posted this in Casseroles, Pasta on February 4th, 2009 My copy of The Betty Crocker Cookbook is at least 13 years old, I know I got it before Ryan was born. It’s a softcover edition too, so I have to be really careful when I open it so the spine doesn’t break. There have been new editions put out since then of course, but [...]
Here are this week’s questions:
#1. What’s the oddest thing you’ve ever made with bread?
I don’t think it’s weird, but the Deli Sandwich Ring recipe that I posted was certainly different than anything I’d done before. #2. What’s the oddest thing you’ve ever done with mac and cheese or pasta?
Again, I don’t think [...]
