Corned beef broth
I made some corned beef and cabbage - - YUM! - - and have a couple cups of broth left over. I hate to throw it out but am not sure how to best use it. Corned beef has such a unique flavor from the spices, I'm not sure how the broth would work for vegetable soup? Any thoughts appreciated!

Frustrated and overwhelmed calculating calories for homemade meals
I tend to cook a lot of meals that follow a recipe. On MFP, I typically add the recipe to "My Foods" and then divide the total calories by how many servings. I'm just overwhelmed by this process, needing to add in ingredients and then estimating the number of servings per recipe and the actual serving size. It is very time…

Recipes for Singles
One of my challenges is finding good recipes with proportions for one. In the past I would use a crockpot and freeze portions.

Whole Fish Fridge Time
How long can you keep a cleaned (scaled and gutted) whole fish (sans head) in the refrigerator before cooking it? I went to the fish market today, and was planning on making whole roasted striped bass for dinner, but I am not that hungry and would prefer to wait until tomorrow. Can I safely wait until tomorrow to cook it?…

Homemade Lower Fat Ranch Dressing that actually tastes good!
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm picky when it comes to ranch dressing. I always make my own because I've yet to find a good pre-made bottled dressing. I think I've pretty much tried them all.
