What's your favorite food/s & what memories do you associate with them?
Well, my favorite food is usually fresh bread - sour dough, French, Rye, you name it. Though my favorite food can change. Its hard to narrow a choice down to a single food and it does change with the season too. But in general, I think that I could easily live on bread and chocolate.
Last week I made an apple crisp. It was definitely my favorite food while it lasted. Reminded me of being home with my mom and the smell of the cinnamon wafting out of the oven as her apple crisp baked. Its a comfort food, that and home made apple sauce are among my favs this time of year.
(I just came to check and realized that a new post is showing that wasn't shown when I posted this, didn't mean to post a similar topic as the other one.)
Yogurt Making Using Fresh Ingredients AND MANY BENEFITS TO YOGURT
Yogurt eating is heathy and is great to add to any diet.There are many health benefits to eating yogurt it has a well balanced health benefit to all of us, so my Doctor says. It is a good source of Protein ,and many vitamins like vitamin B-12, riboflavin,and calcium for those bones. It has also been said by many it helps prevent cancer. Not sure that is proven but I will take anything that helps. It is great water supply about 80% supply I understand and a good source of milk supply. I have many tell me that is even milk senstive people tell me they can eat it with no problems I know I can but it would not hurt to try if you check with your Doctor first.
Yogurt is great to dip fruit, veggies, and to use as salad dressing instead of ranch dressing or other with fatting agents in them and it taste good, I love it. Frozen it makes a great dessert better I think then ice cream and sure not as many calories. lol Now if they made it in chocolate hummm maybe next time I will add some chocolate to it hummm sounds good. Many Doctors recommend it to help with diets where you need to lower your cholosterol like me. Fresh is best and add stuff to it make it the way you like it. Here is a recipe I use but you can change stuff up and put low fat milk or two precent up to you but I think this works best. I loved this so much I found a reasonable yogurt maker to put in our store that does not require electric so I could take it with me no matter where I went and make my own. You can see it at my store here then just put yogurt maker in the search. Now enjoy and read and look I think you will love this easy recipe and maker we have sold many and remember it is healthy.
You’ll need:
Fresh and Natural Yogurt Maker
Measuring cup
Cooking thermometer
2T fresh, plain yogurt
1 Qt (32oz) fresh or UHT milk
use whole, 2 per cent or 1 per cent depending on whether you want regular or low fat yogurt)
Medium saucepan
Process:
Heat milk, in the saucepan, to at least 180F but don’t boil. Remove pan from stove and allow milk to cool to about 110F.
Stir in the fresh yogurt until it’s well blended into the milk.
Pour the milk/yogurt mixture into the inner container of the yogurt maker. Seal the container with the provided cover.
Pour boiling water into the bottom of the yogurt maker to the thin inside line but not over the top of the four plastic shoulders.
Place the container containing the yogurt mixture into the yogurt maker.
Place outer cover on the yogurt maker and let stand for about 12 hours. If you keep your house cool you might want to place a couple of tea towels under and on top of the yogurt maker while the culture is working.
Refrigerate the yogurt when done.
When you’re almost finished with the yogurt save a couple of tablespoons to make the next batch. That way you’ll only have to purchase the milk
Here is a some recipes to use along with that yogurt you make

I have noticed that several of the grocery stores such as Whole Foods and Central Market offer cooking classes. Has anyone taken any of these and could report of their experience. Many years ago I took some classes at Williams and Sonoma and was very pleased. I am hoping to get some personal experience reviews on classes as I want to sign my husband up for a couple as a Christmas gift.
I'm so excited to find this foodie group. Wanting to share a funny foodie Christmas story. My family has this annual holiday wine tasting contest. Every one brings a bottle of wine. We cover the labels and the favorite wine wins. Well one year my mom being on a tight budget poured 3 bottles of wine together. Being the wine connoisseurs that we are we voted her the victor. We have been laughing about for twenty years now. Anyone else care to share.

Hey there everyone - it's coming up on that 'reminiscent' time of year and my mind has settled on trying to re-create a favorite cookie that my Philadelphia upbringing can't forget. We used to live in an area that had a fantastic bakery that made HUGE oatmeal cookies - about 8 inches round with granulated sugar on the top. The cookie was dark-colored and very chewy. Lord help me, but my cookies have never been chewy and I'm not sure where to start... I'm not talking about undercooked chewiness, but real chewy texture. Is this from using less granulated sugar and maybe adding a liquid like molasses or dark corn syrup? Any helpful hints would be gratefully appreciated. I'll be home on leave from work with a hip replacement (just like ol' George B!) so I'll have some time to play while rolling around on a high chair in my kitchen. Thought I'd try to re-create some fun frun 'long ago that I could pass down to the kids and grandkids.
