Homemade turkey stock-How to log it??
I make my own stock/broth from the roasted carcass. Whatever herbs and spices and a little apple vinegar and water is simmered for a long time then strained and cooled. The fat that rises to the top is discarded before it's used. How do I log this gelatinous goop? It gets used for soup bases and I also use it to cook…

Office Friendly, EASY recipes for lunch?
I work 3rd shift at a call center and my coworkers and I are trying to lose weight. We already joined a gym (woo-hoo! First step) but need easy lunch ideas. I stress easy as most of these women are young moms, or working and going to school full time. We don’t have a kitchenette at the office, just a microwave and small…

Why does the recipe input matcher not use the same database as other foods?
When inputting a recipe, I went so far as to scan each item using my phone and type in exactly (minus capitalisation) the name that showed up there into the recipe input on the computer. Yet over half the items did not match when the recipe was parsed! Why are the names different between the two input mechanisms? Recipees…

Garlic Green Tea - Calming, Energy Balancing, and Appetite-Suppressing
Who's stressed out?! If not now, then what about during the work week? I know I get very stressed out then and one of my favorite go-to's for killing cravings (mostly stress related--for instance, craving something sweet for a quick mood-lift however transient, lasting only minutes followed by an energy crash) is boiling…

Lightened Chicken Pot Pie-how many servings?
I'd like to try the Lightened Chicken Pot Pie recipe, but I don't see the number of servings in the recipe. Are there 4 slices to the pie? Six? Eight? I do see the number of calories in a slice, but not the number of slices (servings) in one pie.

Make ahead breakfast ideas.
Looking for some ideas for grab and go type breakfast things. Really want to make this work and loose weight but always struggle to make sensible choices in the mornings as I'm up and out early and don't have much time to make something from scratch. I've tried overnight oats but I'm not keen. Thanks

Fruits and Yogurt
Not a big deal but instead of half a cup of yogurt and some fruits/granola...do half a cup of fruit and a tablespoon or two of vanilla yogurt. It's so stupid simple but omg it's so good that way. I prefer this over more yogurt over fruit. Just wanted to share my tiny discovery.

Alternative uses for the microwave?
I do a couple of non typical things in the microwave. I use it for blanching vegetables such as green beans in the pricked packet they are sold in and then rinse with hot water afterwards. I use the microwave to make creme caramel because life is too short for cooking anything au bain marie. I zap 10 minutes on half power,…

I just learned how to cook tofu that I actually like
For years, I've been avoiding tofu because every time I buy it to try, it has a texture I don't like. I've tried all kinds of tofu, I've pressed it, I've marinaded it, I've chopped it up small, but it's still always pretty repulsive. Then I saw a "handy hint" on a recipe site that said to coat tofu in cornstarch before…

I was asked to bring chocolate sorbet to a dinner party next weekend. This is freezing now. https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/chocolate-sorbet-238249 In the summer I would serve this with fresh raspberries or strawberries. What fruit pairing would use at this time of year? Thinking pears but would you just…

Keto italian meatballs? With only beef?
Now I'm not much of a believer in the keto diet (I believe in tried and true, not the diet of the week) but as my calorie limit gets lower, I've discovered I may have a minor problem that maybe a keto-style recipe might solve (so I can lower the calories). My sister <3 's my spaghetti and meatballs. I mean loves them and…

Wanted- vegetables to taste nice!
I find it really hard to enjoy most vegetables and would be interested in any tasty tips regards to particular seasonings or prep methods. For example I have found I love broccoli if it's still firm and tossed in chilli and garlic. Maybe I just need to add chilli and garlic to everything but it's always worth an ask!
