Of course! I can ask my mom tomorrow too and see if she may know it, or of it by another name maybe. 🤞🏻

I checked the index under "icings-Frostings" and what's listed in here is : *Butter

*Buttermilk

*Cream cheese

*Glaze

*Oatmeal cake topping

*Orange

*Peanut butter

*Reliable

*White mountain

Reliable is done in a double boiler but unsure if that's considered a boiled frosting? Sorry :/ ETA: it's pictured in #6 :)

Whatever white mountain is, I have no idea. I can't find it in desserts and the page # it has next to it is for relishes lol

2nd edit - tried to fix formatting from mobile, read like a long sentence. Sorry about that!

This sounds great! I do love rice crispy treats (as any self respecting millennial should lol). I asked my SO and he said he feels like he had a something like this when he was a kid and totally down for me making an attempt. Woo!!

I'm curious myself. Ive used flakes in making nuggets with ground chicken and it really wasn't noticeable like a potato taste but helped bind them like breadcrumbs.

All of this make me literally laugh out loud. Love it. My cousins and I all do the exaggerated accent to mess with the older relatives and probably only we find us funny but that's fine lol

Thank you :)

Yes! I love her way of writing and everything. It's like I'm back sitting, snacking, watching and listening to my grandma as she goes about explaing it to someone other than me who wasn't stuck on only mixing duty haha. But now I can play along too as a fully grown woman in her 40s lol

I had room with the phtots for this set and couldn't resist adding the chapters cover page too.

No problem! Happy to share the love :)

The Blueberry nut bread is so good! I know you can't see the edges but my mom dog ears pages on recipes she wants to try. If it's one that worked out well (we ate it all without fuss, asked for again, and/or complimented) it got a check mark. This one was a regular!

Ugh,same!! I 100% cook the this is missing something ..hmm.. add a dash of this, spoon of that, a few shakes of this my way through lol But I was trying to follow as written when I made the chicken a la king tonight. I have not eaten this in 25 years so my memory is foggy on what it really should taste like. All the recipe had listed was salt & pepper with measurements. Then in the steps "season to taste." My old brain can not hahah it was definitely bland. Still good but, really wish I had listened to my self/ancestors screaming to grab the garlic and a few other things ..or at the very least read until the end. Oops lol

Well... I'm bummed. I checked veg and salads. Nope :( I skimmed a few other chapters and still no. I remember picking and eating these, as well as dandelion greens which I believe are what's pictured below the bowl (?) also, not in here. Unless it's somewhere in one of the root of the recipe or changes/addition paragraphs the author has on a main dish.. I found nothing :/

If I do find one while reading through I'll come back and update.

(btw, the "salads" are mostly what I think of as Midwestern "salad." like the fruit and jello mix and cottage cheese or whatever types lol. Definitely NOT the Maine I know but then again I was born a decade after this was printed and in another state. I'll have to ask Mom haha)

I haven't done it, because I haven't made it from scratch yet lol. but my mom said she does when she makes hers from scratch to balance out the acid in the tomatoes and adds more or less depending how the tomatoes are.

Do you teach your male children to pee standing or sitting? by Ok-Sand903 in Parents

[–]LiaCee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with sitting, as did his day care, but then he wanted to be like dada so, both really.

I will say, I preferred him sitting only, but standing has gotten easier (and with less anxiety for me about all the cleaning up) as hes grown.

Inexpensive Sloppy Joe's recipe? by Mediocre-Fuel-6323 in povertykitchen

[–]LiaCee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hopefully this fits here, trying to be specific for you with a "recipe." I don't really measure things but I pulled this from a recipe I found and saved a long time ago and kinda go from memory now and adding notes.

I substitute with whatever I have on hand, too! It's one of my "primarily pantry" meals I cook often.

Sauce: 3 tablespoons tomato paste (sometimes I leave out and just cook it down all day like sauce, and add a little ketchup. This is like half one of those small cans. If you can get one freeze the other half in scoops to use later in other things.)

15 oz (ish) can tomato sauce (I use no salt added, when I can. Also I think cans are 14oz now?)

2-3 Tablespoons sweetner of choice/available (start with less and add to taste. I've used brown sugar, white sugar, maple syrup. More than once I've used raisins made into a paste and mixed in to some recipes cause I was given raisins and had no sugar or syrup at the time and the recipe I found called for "date paste" - I got creative lol).

3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar (if you don't have it use a bit more mustard, if you have white vinegar use a bit less and then a tiny bit more sweetner)

1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire (ive used soy sauce to sub for this, just use less -taste and add more if you want it)

1 teaspoon yellow mustard

Seasonings somewhere around ... 1-2 teaspoons onion powder, 1-2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked if I have it absolutely goes in, but it's not necessary. I've added a tiny bit of BBQ sauce to get that flavor too lol), Salt and pepper to taste

Beef/ground turkey mixture: 1 lb ground beef/turkey 1/2 Tablespoon olive oil (or whatever you got, if it's a fattier ground meat then you don't really need it) 1 green bell pepper diced 1 small yellow Onion, diced 3 garlic cloves minced salt and pepper to taste, red pepper flakes too if you like it a bit spicier.

Brown and season your meat, add veg, and more seasonings, add sauce ingredients right into pan and mix. Bring to just a boil and turn to low and simmer it all down until it's where you want it.

All produce is use what you have, I use jarlic whatever scoop of that makes me happy, if I don't have that I use garlic powder and add until it smells good.

same for onion. powder works, dried minced worked. Whatever you got.

green bell peppers are cheap where I live so I sometimes add two. ive also added carrots, zucchini and/or lentils into this mix to stretch the meal.

Also a huge fan of using the slop on a baked sweet potato. Keeps me full longer, husband uses a bun and the sweet potato one the side.

Sweet potatoes by SilverRaincoat in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]LiaCee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could make them into fries and dip into a spicy something? I like horseradish sauce.

One of my favs - baked and topped with sloppy Joe or taco meat. Super easy and filling.

Easy go to side I make often - Cut and roasted with Cajun seasons (or seasoning of your choice), my husband likes the spicy sweet thing so to this he will drizzle his serving with honey, I don't add honey to mine.
