Thank you, skbs! At least with you and Cyn, I know I'm in good company.

I always keep the Stouffers mac n cheese for Mr. L because if I make mine I'm going to eat it!

Quick question .... HELLLPPPP!!!! EMERGENCY!!!!!

I am supposed to be making fudge for tonight but have run out of butter - I have a little bit, and about a stick's worth of I Can't Believe it's not Butter, which my neighbor has kindly lent me!

I have the other ingredients (sugar, evaporated milk, etc)

Anyone know of a recipe which needs little butter - or can I use the I Can't Believe stuff to make fudge ????... (original)

Thanks!!!

I sometimes can afford to splurge for those Bertolli meals in the bag or oven baked ones for a quick "Get Out of Making Dinner" card. I wish I could get the Stouffers ones, but they contain soyben oil. Those Bertolli ones are expensive, so they are a once every few months treat.

This is Nikkzone's recipe:

1 bag(12oz) chocolate chips
1 jar(12oz) peanut butter creamy or crunchy

1 can (14oz) sweetened condensed milk

1. In 1 1/2-quart microwave proof bowl, melt the chocolate with the peanut butter on high for 3 minutes.
2. Remove and stir well. Add the milk and stir until blended.
3. Pour the mixture in a 8x8-inch square pan lined with wax paper.
4. Refrigerate to chill.

This is one of Molochai's fudge recipes:

Cranberry Fudge:

1 1/4c fresh or frozen(thawed) cranberries
1/2c light corn syrup
2c chocolate chips
1/2c powdered sugar
1/4c evaporated milk
1tsp vanilla

Line bottom of 8x8 pan with plastic wrap. In a med saucepan bring cranberries and corn syrup to a boil. Boil for 5-7 minutes stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips and stir until melted. Add remaining ingredients and stir vigorously until thick and glossy. Pour into pan and chill until firm.

I've made them both. They're both very good.

[quote=kelsie;6501417]ECG1951: I would love to have some Cuban recipes. The only time we get Cuban food is in Key West a little place called ElSiboney, the line is around the corner. The only thing I don't really enjoy are plantines, I just personally think they are too sweet.


Here is a very easy recipe to make is called

"Picadillo"

1/4 cup of cooking oil
1 onion chopped up
1 small green pepper chopped up
2 cloves of garlic chopped up
1/2lb of ground sirloin beef
1/2lb of ground pork
1/4lb of ground ham
3/4 cup of olives no pits
1 teaspoon of salt
1/8 teaspoon of pepper
1/2 cup of tomatoe sauce
1/4 cup of cooking wine

Warm up a deep frying pan or skillet and cook onion,pepper,garlic, when the onion is transparent add to this the meats and stir all up until meat is cooked keep stirring so it wont stick for about 10 minutes..after take the remaining ingredients and add them on and stir a little...then let it cook for about 30 minutes in medium heat, once in a while before the end stir up again....done!!! Time to eat!!
You can eat this with white rice...and another side dish!!

If you want any particular recipe please let me know...

I took the easy way out tonight for dinner. I've had my mom out of town today for the routine docs and blood work. After the last stop we went to a Chinese buffet for lunch/dinner at about 3 PM. One full plate for lunch and then another for dinner. Two birds with one stone. I sure did test a lot of chicken out for the lunch and then for dinner it was Mongolian beef with butter potatoes. Wife has said she will do chocolate duty when she gets home. One day soon we will make some of amberbaby's fudge. I do wish I could share some of the heat wave with those in the sub zero areas. I had the AC on again today in the car. Tonight the windows will be open with a fan pulling in cool air. Refusing to turn on the AC at home.
