My Granny’s party mix
My granny has made this for years. She brings it to every family gathering. It was her mother’s recipe.
2 sticks melted butter, 1 Tbs. Lawry’s Seasoned Salt, 1/2 cup Worcestershire Sauce, 2 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. onion powder, 12 cups Chex cereal - all varieties, Pretzels, cheese crackers, garlic rounds - add as much of these as you want. I typically do a box of Cheez-Its, a bag of pretzel sticks, and a small bag of garlic rounds. 2 cups mixed nuts
Pour liquid over mix in large foil pan and stir with a big spoon or spatula. Put in oven at 275° for 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes.

Ham broth?
Hi everybody, I’m a social worker and cooked a ham and thanksgiving stuff for my homeless clients and was left with the ham bone afterwards. I made a broth with it today with some veggies and it smells great, but I’m vegetarian and don’t have a use for the broth. What are some dishes I can make with it that isn’t soup that I can make some more meals to give to people?

Recipe/Cookbook app for iPad?
Looking for recommendations on a good iPad app that lets users enter their own recipes to be store digitally, import recipes from websites, add photos, and has a nice UI.
I have a lot of handwritten family and personal recipes that I’d like to scan in. Some apps say you can scan a photo of a hand written recipe for it to transcribe it to text (scan to text) and other seem to just allow you to scan an upload of handwritten recipes. Both of those features would be fine, however, the scan to text might be interesting.
I’ve browsed a few and thinking about picking on of the following (curious if anyone here uses any of these):
- Cook’n (1 month free trial with full features)
- CookBook - The Recipe Manager (this one is $5, curious if it’s worth it.)
- RecipeBox
- My CookBook (Recipe Manager)

Office Holiday Parties
My office does a potluck and white elephant in the office (before heading to a bar) for our holiday celebration.
I am looking for suggestions for what to make.
Potential things to note: It will have to be brought in on public transportation. I would like for it to be ready the night before rather than the morning of the event. I recently moved so I will have to buy virtually everything the recipe calls for (unless it only uses mixing bowls and one baking sheet). I feel confident to try most recipes.

Pineapple Honey Steak Marinade
Thanks to the anime Food Wars I made my best steak ever. The main characters dish is ruined by a classmate bully who poured salt all over his beef bourguignon. The protagonist partner believes they don't have enough time to cook another pot before the deadline. They manage to do it because the main character uses honey in the marinade. Honey has properties that break down the proteins in meat so you can cook it faster. He also mentions that pineapple juice can do the same thing. So I set out to make a marinade that included both of them and I made a delicious steak that I could pull apart with my fork.
Ingredients
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tbsp ginger
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic
2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/8th cup diced onion
2 8oz filet mignon steaks
Directons
1.Combine all ingredients (except for the steaks) in a bowl and whisk together until it is a homogenized liquid
- Put the steaks in a 1 gallon zip lock bag and pour the marinade over the steaks
3.Remove all air from the bag by closing it all the way and then making a small opening for a straw
4.Insert the straw and suck out all the air then remove the straw and reseal the bag
5.Place the steak in the fridge for 8 hours
6.Flip and massage the steak every hour
8.Grill the steak with your preferred method or follow mine in the next steps
7.Turn your grill on high and wait for it to get up to 450 degrees
8.Place the steak on the grill close the grill and wait 10 seconds
9.Open the grill and flip the steak, wait 10 seconds.
10.Turn the grill to low heat and open the grill as needed until the grill temperature is down to 350 degrees
11.Grill for 15 minutes and flip the steak
12.Grill for 10 minutes at this point the steak should be medium rare
13.From here on out check the steak temperature every 10 minutes until it reaches your desired cooked temperature
14.Remove from the grill and enjoy

New England Fish Pie Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh cod fillet, skin removed (or other fish like halibut or salmon)
- 2 1/4 cups whole milk
- 1 bay leaf
- salt and black pepper
- 6 Tbsp butter, divided
- 2 parsnips, peeled and chopped
- 2 leeks, peeled, washed, and sliced
- 3 Tbsp all purpose flour
- 2/3 cup frozen peas (don't defrost)
- 3-4 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 tsp prepared horseradish, or horseradish cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F
- Put the milk and bayleaf in a saucepan over medium heat. Cut the fish into 4 or 5 pieces and add to the milk along with 1/2 tsp salt. Bring to a gentle boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for a few minutes. Remove from the heat, cover, and set aside.
- In a large pot melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and saute the parsnips and leeks for about 10 minutes over medium heat until softened. Stir often and don't allow them to burn.
- Strain the fish and reserve the milk. Set both aside.
- Add the flour to the parsnips and leeks and cook, stirring, for a few minutes, and again, don't let it brown. Slowly pour in the strained milk, stirring constantly, until smooth. Continue heating until the mixture thickens and almost comes to a simmer.
- Add the fish to the pot, breaking it into large chunks as you add it. Season with salt and plenty of fresh cracked black pepper to taste. Stir in the frozen peas. Cover and set aside on the stove top to keep warm.
- Meanwhile cook the potatoes in plenty of salted water until completely soft. Drain them and whip with 2 tablespoons of the butter, the cheese, the butttermilk, and the horseradish. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Be sure to get out all lumps.
- Turn the fish mixture into your baking dish. Top with the mashed potatoes. You can pipe them on (see inspructions in the blog post) or just spoon them on. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and gently dab over the mashed potatoes with a silicone brush. If you like you can brush again during cooking.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden browned and bubbling.

Amazing Dinner Roll recipe. Light, fluffy, springy texture. (Better than Weissmans recipe)
I think I have stumpled apon something truly great. This is a recipe I have motified over some time. I'm not sure how to prove how good they are, but please take a chance on this. It will blow your mind! These rolls have better texture and spring than grocery store with way better flavor!
400g ap flour. Use a good quality flour.
8g salt.
2 tbs whole milk powder ( secret ingredient it's like msg )
60g sugar
Mix in a stand mixer to combine.
Add 2 egg yolks
100g mashed potatoes boiled in salted water. Any potatoe. I used russet.
220g warm whole milk. With 7g instant yeast. Bloom if you like not required.
Kneed for about 3 minutes on medium speed.
Add 80g soft unsalted butter 1tbs at a time.
Countune to kneed for about 4 min.
Dough will be sticky.
Proof for about 3 hours or until well doubled in size. I used quick rise yeast that proofs 50% faster so I only have to do 2 hours. You want double or even a little more.
Grease and parchment paper a 9 inch wide baking sheet.
Weigh 80g balls and shape them. Three in each row with like half and inch or lil less in between.
Proof for 40 more min or until they are touching. Brush with egg wash. (1 egg + 1 tbs water )
Bake 350 for 20-25 min. Depends on how hot your oven runs. Mine runs hot and it takes about 22 min.
Optionally make some garlic butter. Sweat 2 chopped garlic cloves in like 4 or 5 tbs of butter for a few min. Brush on right when they come out. Also can garnish with some flakey sea salt. (Shoutout to Joshua weissman) No shade but this recipe is way better than his.
I made these for friendsgiving and people freaked. Please give this a try. PM any questions

In search of restaurant quality chicken pad Thai recipe.
I’ve tried several recipes I’ve found online, but nothing has come remotely close to actual takeout chicken pad Thai. If you have any recipes that you know or have tried that actually taste like the real thing, I’d love to give it a shot. I absolutely love ordering takeout chicken pad Thai, but it’s expensive and I’d really like to replicate the flavor at home.

Can I prep a cheesecake before baking it?
I’m going to be making the fluffy cheesecake today and it needs to bake for a while and afterwards we can eat it. Can I start everything except the baking part and bake it somewhere else or will the cheesecake not be good to bake at a later time? Essentially do I HAVE to bake it as soon as I’m done prepping everything?
It’s my first time making this and also my second time baking anything ever.

Help needed with my cooking website
Hi everybody,
Me and my wife are trying (for years now) to build a successful cooking website. At the time it was first and only site with all recipes in photos (more than 100 of them). Check website , but use Google Translator.
We started long time ago in our country and even if we had enough visitors (10,000 at one moment per day), due to poor AdSense pay per click in our origin country we didn't manage to pay for ingredients, invest in photos etc, so we neglected site for a little bit. But, as I tested AdSense in 1st world countries pay per click value is much better. We seen how much cost is better when someone click from there.
After we moved to Scandinavia I made the iPhone App and started working on mobile friendly website.
I want to ask if is possible to get some kind of help from the community? We got some nice ideas from our test users but it will be also nice to hear more feedback in this early stage? I will also like to connect with other people that like similar things, for example food bloggers etc. We done something in our home country but now with english audience, we are again on 0 :(
I really like this project and I have dozens of ideas, but I don't know yet how to reach wider audience. Then we will be able to pay for making new ingredients, new equipment and so on.
Thank you for your time!

Dairy and Soy free meal prep ideas
Hey guys! My bro and SIL just had their second child and are crazy busy and sleep deprived. I’d like to make a bunch of pre-made meals for the two of them as a Christmas present, since they’re having a hard time even getting to the grocery store and it would at least cut down on meal prep time. However, my SIL is currently fair and soy free due to the new babies intolerance. She also doesn’t eat pork.
Anyone got any recipes that could fit these restrictions? They are both very health conscious too.
Thanks!

Not sure if this goes here...
My Memaw used to make this strawberry “stuff” every Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was my favorite thing as a kid. I have SO many of her recipes and cookbooks but I can’t find anything resembling the “stuff”. It was simple. Seems like it was layered. A layer of strawberry jello with strawberries in it. A layer of maybe cream cheese and something strawberry? There was definitely Cool Whip. Definitely macerated strawberries. Not sure if they were part of a layer or their own layer. It was all pink and red. Im sure I could play around with it and get something at least close but has anyone heard of anything like that? Getting nostalgic around the holidays and missing her a lot. Thanks for any help, y’all.

what would you add to this chicken paprika recipe to make it less bland?
Ive made this recipe before and it’s a bit bland, what kind of things wud you recommend adding to improve flavour and make it less bland? Https://old.reddit.com/r/GifRecipes/comments/5w8ik6/paprika_chicken_and_rice_bake/de849rr/
INGREDIENTS
5 chicken thighs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
½ cup red onion, diced
1 cup long grain rice
1½ cups chicken broth
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 400˚F/200˚C. In a large bowl, evenly season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, paprika, and parsley. On high, heat olive oil in a oven-proof pot and place chicken thighs, skin-side down, in the hot oil. Cook 5-6 minutes or the thighs develop brown crispy skin and flip over. Cook an additional 5-6 minutes to brown the other side and remove from the pot. Add the garlic and onions to the pot, and cook until the onions are transparent. Pour in the rice and chicken broth to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Stir well, bringing to a boil. Add the chicken thighs back into the pot, skin-side up, on top of the rice, bring back to a boil and cover with a lid. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked. Optional: remove chicken thighs and broil for crispy skin.

Is my Turkey ruined
So ive been cooking this 23 pound turkey since 6am this morning. Cooked for the first 45 minutes then going for the first basting, the turkey fell out of the pan into the oven. Picked it back up. Cleaned it and the oven out. Put it back in at 745am. Been basting it every 30 minutes exactly. Fast forward to 10colock after basting when we put it back in for 45 minutes. Then one of us turned the oven off. So for the last 45 minutes it was sitting in there not cooking. I know theres is at least 2 more hours on this fucking thing but is it even going to cook right after all this?
