Kitchen Diva said:That sounds like so much fun! I wish I could come! DH had to go to our niece's open house without me today because of allergies. I made some spaghetti sauce and meatballs last week. I took the extra out of the freezer today and we will have that with garlic bread.
I wanted a salad but for some reason when I went to the store yesterday they were all out of lettuce. Who runs out of lettuce? I won't buy that stuff in a bag because it has a strange almost bitter taste to it. So no veggies for me. DH will be happy about that.
They don't know what they missed! (slackers!)ChefBeckyD said:Come on over Kacey! What fun we could have! Oh - and the weather is pretty darn near perfect today. 80 degrees, sunny, and a slight breeze!
Which would also be why at my show this morning, only 3 of her expected 10 guests showed up!:grumpy:

The house smell good, already from the rice cooking. I added an extra can
of the GOYA black beans to get in a veggie.
pamperedthorpe said:It was quite hot today here in England, and Jen and I had a late-ish lunch, so we settled on a couple of home-made dips in the Prep Bowls with veg sticks cut up with the crinkle cutter for a proper PC tea!
It would've only been bloody if Jen had been a bit less careful with the crinkle cutter! It did mean I didn't get to cook the chicken I'd got out of the freezer for dinner though.Kitchen Diva said:bloody refreshing!

Is that good? I've wanted to make some of our wreaths, braids and rings, but it seems there is always at least one or two ingredients within each recipe that make me scratch my head and go "HUH, will that taste good with that?"jrstephens said:We had the Chicken Club ring with left over chicken from last night.

So I haven't tried one yet.
My pizza was boring.
I have one that is better, and it has a secret ingredient. I used to sell my cookie dough to my friend's mothers (I have NO idea where to put the apostrophe) in high school to earn spending money for choir, band and class trips!janetupnorth said:I use the recipe for "vanishing oatmeal cookies" from the Quaker can. They're good!

good call, I normally put that in anyway...so no, it's not nutmeg. You would never guess what it is, so I will give you a clue.janetupnorth said:Nutmeg????
Good for you, Mere!merego said:oh darn, I have to make a baked good for the Father's Day church bake sale tomorow ( yes Kacey, I am going to church, again ). I only have 4 eggs left and DH wants french toast for Father's Day breakfast. I didn't go to the store since we are leaving on vacation. Looks like I have to go out and get me some eggs or maybe I'll see if my neighbor has any, she owes me at least a dozen. I'll go egg shopping on my street. I am the neighborhood
do-gooder, how can they resist me??? hee hee
Alcohol...beer or wine or something...Kitchen Diva said:good call, I normally put that in anyway...so no, it's not nutmeg. You would never guess what it is, so I will give you a clue.It makes them REALLY chewy and moist- but surprisingly enough the cookie does not taste like the ingredient
Yeah, cuz I'm such a guzzler.janetupnorth said:Alcohol...beer or wine or something...

Kitchen Diva said:nope- the secret ingredient is....
Shredded Coconut- about 1 cup! They make my cookies to die for, and they do NOT taste coconutty!
HA! Me too Janet!janetupnorth said:I thought of that, but second-guessed myself and figured, naw, couldn't be! (At that point you posted the "moist" hint and I figured it had to be more liquid-like).
Kitchen Diva said:Hang on ladies, we've got 65 mph winds coming- just came out of nowhere...let me get the pets downstairs, and close some windows, go rebuke the weather and I'll be back as soon as I can. Things are flying off the deck...
Yes, I have seen The Notebook and I am always ready for a romantic evening! Whether it's a cozy dinner at home or a night out on the town, I love creating special moments with my partner.
As a Pampered Chef consultant, I have plenty of ideas for a romantic cooking night at home! Some of my favorites include making homemade pizza or trying out a new recipe together. We also have some great fondue sets and dessert recipes that are perfect for a romantic evening.
Absolutely! Set the mood with some soft music, dim lighting, and candles. Use our versatile kitchen tools to create a beautiful table setting and don't forget to add some fresh flowers for a touch of romance. And of course, don't be afraid to get a little creative with your recipes and presentation.
Definitely! Our stoneware collection is perfect for creating delicious meals and it also adds a touch of elegance to any dinner table. Our grill pans and grilling tools are also great for a cozy dinner for two. And don't forget our wide selection of cookbooks for some romantic recipe inspiration.
I absolutely love our Garlic & Herb Baked Brie recipe. It's easy to make and perfect for sharing with your significant other. You can also add a personal touch by using our heart-shaped stoneware for baking. And for dessert, our Chocolate Lava Cake is always a hit for a romantic evening.
I'm planning on making spaghetti for dinner tonight! It's a crowd-pleaser and easy to whip up after a busy day. Plus, it's the perfect meal to enjoy with family and friends. Bon appétit!
