I lost my password and had to get e-mailed a new one, and now can't figure out how to edit my password. Can you tell me how to do that? *feels stupid*

I posted this in the lunch thread, but I though I'd post it here too, just in case anyone is interested:
My favorite casserole was something I made up while trying to duplicate a recipe from a restaurant:
Saute 2 cloves minced garlic in 1/3 cup olive oil
Add 1/2 ea thinly sliced red, yellow and green bellpepper and 1/2 red onion.
After onions have softened, add 1 big can (26 oz?) diced tomatoes and 2 packages (1.42 oz ea) Lawrey's dry spaghetti sauce mix. Simmer over low heat for 1/2 hour.
Cook 16 oz of bowtie pasta to al dente, drain.
Toss sauce and pasta with 8 oz of Feta cheese.
This is super easy, gets rave reviews and is very, very pretty when placed in a clear glass casserole dish.
Just like some of the recipes above, it is best the next day after the flavors have had a chance to combine. This is great as a take in lunch, and as a do-ahead potluck item.

Theca, buy a small one when they go on sale. (Brand doesn't matter.) You will soon wonder how you lived without it.
Dags, did you see the request in the other thread for a category called something like "Fast, Cheap, and Easy"? (Ok, that wasn't the suggested title. But I think my version is funnier.)

I'd need to have at least two separate categories in a group: "Fast, Cheap, and Easy" and "Slow, Expensive, and Difficult"?

And... I added a cornell bread recipe. It wasn't there, so I'm guessing our bakers don't know about it. Its a good thick solid healthy alternative to white bread. People should try it and let me know what they think Posts: 4112 | Registered: May 2001

The "fast/cheap/and easy" is for those broke folks out there trying to cook healthy meals on a shoestring budget . . . refer to the "Poor and Healthy" thread (grin)

I added the category as requested. Cross posted from the other thread:
quote:OK, I added it as Fast, Cheap Meals in the Courses group.
Desciption: Recipes for meals that are fast, cheap, and easy. Fast can include things that take a long time to cook but little actual effort by the cook (crock pot meals, slow roast, etc.).

Hmm. I'm waffling on whether the Blintz souffle belongs in that category. It's quick (prep time-wise, at least) but how cheap it is depends a lot on local prices for blintzes. Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003

As per blacwolve's request, I have posted Home-made Veggie Stock and How To Steam Rice. Most of you probably won't use it, but I thought it might be helpful for those beginning cooks wanting to use our new, handy-dandy Fast, Cheap, and Easy category. Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004

(Oh, and I'll go through later and see which of my recipes already posted fit in that category.)

Done. And I guess I never posted Texas Hash! Well, I will soon-- I have it on Recipezaar already, so it's easy to transfer over.

Dag? Annie's recipe Black Bean Chicken should probably be in that category. Her Hummus and Cream of Tomato Soup definitely should. And she's not around to edit them. Think you could do that for her?

The pizza dough is pretty darned easy. And hummus is consumed as lunch along with whole-wheat bread and fruit quite often in our household. Besides, I was of the impression that ALL fast, cheap and easy foods should go in there-- like my "How to Steam Rice"-- so you can combine two if necessary to make a complete meal. At least, I think that was our intent when asking for the category. There are a couple of chicken and veggie dishes in there that aren't really complete meals, either.

Dag -- I found that if I went back to the "home" recipe site (the first page) then the registration link works. I'm not sure what page I was on when I originally tried it, but I had done a search for a certain recipe, got the search results, and then realized I needed to register in order to see the recipe. That was where the link was wrong.
Going back to the Recipe main site worked fine and I'm now registered.

I made tuna casserole for dinner tonight and realized that should definitely be available in the "fast, cheap, and easy" category. So, Classic Tuna Casserole is posted.

Hey Dags, can we edit the recipes on the site? I have a few things I'd like to edit on my chili recipe.

The first time I looked, I tried to find something. I just re-checked and couldn't find it. Of course, I'm behind a firewall that blocks JS so that might we why I cannot see it. I'll check it when I get home.

It shouldn't require JS to appear, but it if cookies are blocked then you won't be logged in.

Ooooh, I've never actually had tuna casserole. I can't wait to try it. I get homemade type Amish egg noodles around here, I bet those would be good in it.

It's really not that good. It was the "using stuff in the cupboard" recipe I least looked forward to as a child. As an adult, I can jazz it up a little more to my taste, and my daughter likes it, but...
Ah, well, to each her own. I'd much prefer fishcakes for using tuna or salmon in the cupboard. (Hey, I bet you could make salmon casserole instead! Wonder how that would be...)

I make salmon and tuna patties with different ingredients all the time. I just tend to like tuna things.

I've upgraded the software. It's actually kind of neat - I wrote this as open source and published it on the web, and someone else has taken it and added a significant number of features to it.
The biggest new feature is user favorites. Anyone with a login on the site can add any recipe to their favorite list, and then view their favorites by selecting "Favorite Recipes" from the Recipes menu.
The category list is now a tree that opens and closes. I'm not sure I like that better, but I'll keep it for now.
Please let me know if anything isn't working.

There's probably no workaround. I haven't run into that, but that's not part of the program I wrote.

quote:Originally posted by Theaca: I keep wondering if I should buy a crockpot. The recipes always sound so yummy.
Theca, if there is a target near you you can get a VERY nice one for between $20-30, and some of them come with a little crockpot just for cheeses and sauces for dips as an added bonus.
Crockpots are wonderful....you just turn them on when you go to work, and 8 hours later, when you get home from work, dinner is ready. Posts: 15082 | Registered: Jul 2001
