Am I missing something?  I don't see the recipe!

Thanks Bubble, I bookmarked it!

I printed it!  I actually have all the ingredients except a lemon and I'm going to get one and try this.  It sounds delicious!

Me to. Also need the lemons.  Bubble. Don's going to like that one. Keep it handy.

and it is even better reheated.  That dish was too much for me and caregiver yesterday, so had more today.
Worth the effort and it really is no big deal making it, especially when slicing the potatoes, lemon and onion on the mandolin.

The Perfect Cheesecake Recipe

I enjoyed this so much!

One of the comments from the site;

I have now made this cheesecake 3 times in the last week for various functions and requests. It is by far the best cheesecake I have ever had. The simple step by step instructions made this super easy to make.
I also made this filling, but baked in the mini ready made crusts and they turned out great and super cute. Just had to lower the temp a little and cooked for 20 minuets.
Thanks for sharing!

You might want to check your food labels before relying on one of your tried-and-true chicken recipes for dinner tonight. National Steak and Poultry just issued a recall on nearly 2 million pounds of ready-to-eat chicken that have the potential to be undercooked. The recall originally included 17,439 pounds of chicken per its initial release on Nov. 23, 2016, but the most recent update expanded that total to include an additional 1.9 million pounds of product.

This recall includes a variety of ready-made meat products, from boneless, skinless chicken strips and breasts to diced and cubed chicken goods from popular brands like Hormel. Any of these items that were produced between Aug. 20 and Nov. 30, 2016, should be immediately thrown away. It has officially been labeled as a Class-1 recall, meaning that it is "a health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death."

Check out the full list of affected products on the USDA website, and be sure to chuck your ready-made chicken in the garbage if there's a chance it is part of the recall.

There is very little that I eat if I don't cook it myself. Once in awhile I will see chickens going around in The Rotis... At the Deli. I will wait and get one. Never eat fast food. Only eat at certain restaurants.  Never order anything mixed. If I want Chinese or Indian will make my own. Sort of always been this way.

A lot of folks use canned chicken or purchase  chicken parts such as only thighs or breasts or even purchase a meal with chicken parts or a TV dinner. It is something to think about when we just grab and go at times.

Angel, thanks for the chicken warning.   I checked the link and found the recall seems to apply only to one brand - NSP or National Steak and Poultry.  I don't know where this may be available but I've never seen it in this area.

Haven't seen it around here either, JeanneLee.

I have never seen or heard of that one either. Yet that seems like a lot of chicken.

Larry.  O.K I made those muffins today. Changed a little from yours.  I didn't want to buy the Powder you use. (Why do you have to use it?)  So what I did in replace was grind the Stuffing mix fine as flour. Added just a little self raising flour so would raise up a little. Only had some shredded Mex. Taco Five cheese mix. so used it. Turned out really good. I ate one a lunch. Would be good to make to serve at TG. or Christmas dinner if I was making it because only myself and Grandson eat Dressing. I use it on other days also.  Also used the stuffing mix I ground up  and covered some Chicken breast strips to bake while I had the oven on.  All now in the freezer. Along with 6 Sausage biscuits I made also.  Got to make sure I don't eat all the time while stuck in the house from snow days. So no cookies or candy bought. Veg. drawer filled up also.

JeanneP, I imagine the dressing gave it extra flavor.  How much self-rising flour did you use?

Jeanne Lee, that wholesale company supplies many companies such as Hormel and others. It is similar to many other products such as cereal, pet food, and fish, supplying a basic product to other companies that use it in their products.

Hmmm.  I see, Angel.  So now the problem is that the article gave no indication of what companies are supplied and where the danger is.  I've actually never seen the type of products described, in this area - maybe because I don't use any of that type.     Thanks for the information. 

I guess what they are trying to say is that if you use precooked chicken parts made within those dates and identified by those product and date codes, you should toss them.

I wonder if a lot of this "pre-cooked" chicken could have been purchased by nationwide chain restaurants?  Friends and relatives of mine, who have worked in restaurants like Applebee's, Panera, Red Lobster, et al, say that the kitchens in those establishments don't actually cook the food.  It comes pre-cooked, and then is prepared for serving by heating in the microwave.  This includes all entrees, soups and veggies. Even the grilled cheese sandwich at Panera, comes pre-grilled, and is heated in the micro.  The only items that are prepared fresh, are salads. 

Its possible Marilyne. I don't know of any fast food, pizza or family style restaurant that doesn't rely on precooked or freeze-dried meals, especially those from a franchise. I am sure that the majority of these places have checked their food products or I would hope they have.
Trader Joe is having a recall on some of their hummus products as well.

Cooked beef stew in my big crockpot yesterday and it really tasted good!  Enough for leftovers today.

We had that a couple of weeks ago, FlaJean.  It really does taste good out of the crockpot.

The skies have cleared and it isn't as cold as it has been.  I think we'll zip over to the diner for supper this evening.  I really feel like I need to get out of the house.  Sometimes, after I've been in for several days, the walls get a little too close.

Phyll,   Sometimes it is good to get out and let someone else do the cooking as well as being out with other people.   Our grocery store has a small cafe where they serve prepared food from their carry out service as well as hot and cold drinks.    Sometimes when the weather isn't great we will go for a few groceries and just sit down with a cup of coffee and perhaps share a sandwich or something light.   Often someone we know will stop and visit for a little and it is a good change and often gives us news about our town that we might not hear otherwise.

Speaking of left overs.   Yesterday we had a small shepherd's pie made from left overs from a pot roast we had a few days ago.    It went well that way.

I had a left over Shepherds pie in the freezer also. I usualy make mine in 2 small one. Need to make 2 more tomorrow but as I am making a roast beef for friends over on Sunday for dinner. May wait and see if any beef left . should be.

Went out today in about 9 deg weather. Sun was out but not melting the ice.
Telling people to stay in tomorrow and to night down t0 about 7 below freezing and will not warm up much tomorrow.

For a quick way to do one of my favourite meals.  Fast and freezes so good.  Mash potatoes and a veg and ready.

Jeanne, how long do you set your crock pot for with the chicken noodle recipe?  I am cutting the recipe down for my small one person crock pot.

Sue (SCF)

Sue. Now I have 3 sizes of Crock Pot. Usually just use my small one now. Will make about 2 meals. I just do that in half also.  I also like to brown chicken or meat a little before adding to a crock pot meal. Such as Stew also.
Things seem to do well for me in the small one in about 2 hours on high. If I use a big crock pot again I do about 3 hours.  Seem like different things I do take different times.  LIke on a Pot roast. I brown the meat on the stove. Add the veg and then after about 10 min. put into the crock pot. To it I will just add a can of Say onion soup. Not much liquid. I seem to play around when cooking. Always have. Recipes never the same.  Love cooking.

Made some vegetable soup today and it sure did taste good.

I haven't tried this (or eaten them), but it surely does sound good AND easy!

candies using Rolo candies (chocolate covered caramel) and pretzels. So, so easy!  Get yourself a bag of those round-ish pretzels and a bag of Rolos.  Put the pretzels on the tray, top each with a Rolo and then bake at 250 degrees for no more than 3 minutes.  Remove from oven and press a pecan in the top of each. Let cool.
