I made this recipe dairy free using olive oil butter and almond milk. It is THE BEST. Turned out perfectly and my family gobbled it up in one sitting. So freaking delicious. Thank you for this amazing recipe.

Lovely recipe! Perfectly tender. Large chunks of veg worked beautifully. Substituted 15 oz of diced tomatoes for tomato paste and added 4 oz. green chilis. Delicious!

Made it as a side dish to crumbed chicken fillet. Just sitting to eat now & watching the fams loving it. I varied it slightly, left bacon out of one corner for my vegetarian son, & added some diced onion for everyone.

You mention in one set of instructions to MIX flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. HOW MUCH FLOUR? (your list of ingredients does not list flour)

Doesn’t covering the bowl cause the brittle to cook faster and burn more easily? I just tried a different recipe and the brittle burned, I’m hoping to get it right this time. Thank you!

You know I was into this guide and about to try the steps but once I saw those fingernails with no polish, no no no that was it. I’m just gonna get a new counter

Comment on Cinnamon Apple Bread Recipe by Sophie

Delicious! I changed the recipe a little bit. I substituted the eggs with applesauce which was soo good with the apple! I also added a half teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter and another half teaspoon to the cinnamon sugar mixture. I chopped up an extra apple and mixed half into the batter and the other half as a topping for an even stronger apple flavor. I found my bread to be underdone after 50 minutes and I baked for 15 more minutes, perfection!!! Absolutely delicious 🙂

Comment on Deviled Egg Potato Salad by Raj Menon

Didn’t have Old bay, actually I have never heard of it before. I used Cajon spice mix and a bit of smoked paprika instead. It tasted very good. I am not sure if 3 table spoons of yellow mustard isn’t one too many for a salad. I just used a couple of tea spoons of yellow mustard.

I would personally use a tad more sugar but otherwise I really enjoyed the recipe.

Comment on How to Remove and Prevent Fingerprints on Stainless Steel by Wanda

Wanda — Thu, 04 Jan 2024 02:25:41 +0000

Since getting my first and most likely last stainless frig, after trying many different commercial products that failed miserably. I was dusting one day using Pledge and I started thinking why not try it about 30 min. later I had a gleaming frig that I hadn’t seen for a very long time, only problem it doesn’t last too long. I’m now going to use your method and hope it works even better

You should always use cold water with bleach. If you use hot it deactivates the cleaner.

Can you use dried apples for this recipe? If so, how would I prepare them to add to add to the pastry crust, I have just dried apples with no seasoning on them.

I’m very late to the party but agree with all of these! I’d add for #2 that kids older than preschool age can be responsible for folding and putting away their own laundry.

I’ve made your Apple Cinnamon Bread twice this week and the bread is delicious but it falls apart. What am I doing wrong?

I used the oven method. At 25 minutes it was no where near done. I bumped up the temp to 400 and went another 15-20 minutes- THEN it was done.

This bread came out very wet and fell apart very easily. It tasted nice though.

Do you pack the brown sugar? Also, do you use a plastic or glass bowl?

Comment on DIY Trash Bag Wreath by Veronica

Veronica — Thu, 21 Dec 2023 03:20:22 +0000

I made this when I was in a grade school art class, but instead of completely disassembling the hanger, we made a circle of the part of the hanger you hang the garment on, but left the actual hook part alone. Makes more sense to me since it’s already designed to hang.

In reply to Deepa. I have a food processor but it’s big and tucked away in the back of the pantry. I chopped up the craisins and nuts and used a pastry cutter and then my hands to process the dough. Worked out just fine!

This was a pinterest fail! Apparently if you double the recipe you need to cook it longer. Wish that was stated! Alot of work to just end up throwing it in the trash! I will go back to the ones I know work.

Comment on Chicken with Dijon Mustard Sauce by JasonG

JasonG — Tue, 19 Dec 2023 14:15:01 +0000

The chicken should be rubbed with the Dijon and oregano, cooked then deglazed.. The amount of fluids seems to be too much and the gravy is far to soupy. Definitely needs a thickening agent, flour or corn starch. I didn’t starve the night I made it, but it was not great
