Have an Ingredient, Can't Remember What It Was for

In summary, to remember what an ingredient was used for, keep a recipe binder or notebook and jot down notes about each recipe. To find a recipe that uses a specific ingredient, search for it on the website or browse recipes and filter by ingredient. If you can't remember an ingredient, you can substitute a similar one and refer to online resources. To prevent forgetting, label and date leftovers and take pictures of finished dishes. If you can't find a recipe, try browsing similar ones or contacting customer service.

:D :chef: :blushing:

Okay, I usually make my menu for the week and go grocery shopping with those recipes in mind. I write down the meals on my big chalkboard in our kitchen. However, I guess I didn't do that this week. :rolleyes:

So...what recipe do you know that calls for a packet of Ranch seasoning? It must have been from something on here or from a PC cookbook. Can you think of any recipes that call for it?
 
I dunno, but you can mix it with some bread crumbs or cornflake crumbs and make some pretty delicious oven-friend chicken.
 
Go to consultant corner and do a recipe search. Put in "ranch" in ingredient area and a bunch of recipes will come up for you.

Only one recipe came up, Classic Party Dip. This is going to drive me nuts! What on earth was I planning to make?!! lol
 
The Crunchy Whole Grain Chicken Strips w/ Apple & Celery Slaw uses Ranch Dressing mix. It's in the 29 Min. Vol I.
 
I typed in "ranch" under Specify Ingredients and a bunch came up. Try once more.

AHA! I found it! Someone here posted a recipe called Southwestern Layered Trifle. I had printed it off and found the copy in my catalog tote. :)
