You guys have any thoughts or opinions (or recipes) for electric smokers? I have always used my upright Cajun Cooker for smoking but the wife bought this electric a decade ago and I would like to try it. It would be nice to cover the element with soaked wood chips, load the two racks and plug...

Halving or doubling a recipe that cooks in a skillet or saucepan is no problem but in baking it is. How would you double or half a recipe that calls for a 9"x9" baking pan. That is 81 square inches and to half or double it would require about 40 sq inches or 160 sq inches in order to keep the...

NSA (No Salt Added) showing where there may be salt but this Co. did not any any. EVOO - Extra Virgin Olive Oil (As stated by Rachal Ray on the Food Channel.

Have recipes that call for 1 cup dried Garbanso (Chick Peas) cooked. Most dried beans I have done in the past wentd 3X, meaning 1 cup dried = 3 cups cooked. Could I assume the same for chick peas and measure 1/3 cup? I'm trying to make low sodium humus (check my spelling there might be 2...

I will have to say chopping, or dicing. Maybe because I just got through the dicing part of making Salsa. Small amounts are OK but when I start with 3 Lbs tomatoes, followed by 3 chili pepper, then a whole onion it seems to get old. Making Pico is worse. 3 Lbs tomatoes, 3 onions, 3 bell...

A new person called "cighWrini" just posted his, or her, introduction in the vegetable forum under "Asparagus Question?" I said they might want to repost here but if they don't lets all go to the vegetable forum and welcome this person.

Yes it's me again. We have large bunches of asparagus now. Need a good simple recipe. Looking for boiled, grilled or roasted but without the cheeses or creams etc so it can be low sodium.

I don't know about you guys but I'm ready for more of Mamas 4 ingredient recipes. I thought they were on this forum but I can only find 3 of them.

I have 3 recipes for marinara sauce, most of which are made on the stove top. I tried this last winter and have made it several times since. I was having some pasta as a side dish and was tired of a shot of "I can't believe it's not butter" and a drizzle of olive oil but wanted something now...

Thats an old saying in marketing class from college but I want to share a story of it in use. My wife and I and kids were visiting Hot Springs one summer. They had jewelry auctions everywhere and after closing the door would have a sign that read "THIS PREMISES PROTECTED BY SUCH AND SUCH HIGH...

This is my personal method of converting recipes and I call it the 4 Shuns. BTW (NSA) means "No Salt Added". 1. Omissions (just leave an ingredient out). 2. Reductions (Calls for 1 Tbs of Worcestershire, use 2 tsp.) 3. Substitutions (Calls for 1 cup ketsup use 1 cup NSA tomato sauce)...

As usual we go to a friends house and they serve chicken and beef fajitas. I'm told not to have them since the sauce would be way too salty for my diet. I think I will just ask my friends at Spice Place and I'll bet they can give me a fajita recipe that I can switch to low sodium. So who has...

I've seen this veggy on the food network but come to think of it my family has never had it. I'm courious. Let me know if they are any good and if so what is a good and simple way to fix them? I bet I could slice them down the middle, put a little olive oil on it and grill the thing. I don't...

My Cardiologist wants me under 170 Lbs and this morning I came in at 170.4 so I quess I'm going to have the tuna salad for lunch. However, it ain't that bad. With my homemade mayo (low sodium) and a whole Granny Smith apple in there that thing will weigh close to a pound. OMG, then I will...

The family had tacos last night (I had grilled chicken breast) made from McCormicks Taco Mix (really salty) but it really smelled good. I know the package has the ingredients on it but not the amounts of each. Do any of you have a taco recipe that I could possible convert to low sodium? If so...

I've developed a recipe for an low sodium onion soup that was based on Tylers Ultimate featuring French Onion soup. In converting this to low sodium I have omited the bread and cheese that it was served with but have retained the flour. My question is what makes French onion soup "French"? Is...

Not out of town but wireless router problems. Haven't got that receiver fixed yet. I just went to Walmart and bought 15 ft of ethernet cable and ran it through to the router on my wifes computer. Yea we each have our own computer. After my Dr. adviced me to retire because of a very "iffy"...

I enjoy the skin too so I like to scrub them, coat them in unsalted butter or olive oil, prick a few fork holes in the skin and bake them in the oven for the full 1 1/5 hours. I am told this is archaic and I should just Nuke them like everyone else. But then the skin is like at the restuarant...

Who has a recipe for Croutons? Made from bread. I think all you need to do is cut bread into cubes, spray with a flavored pan spray or something and season with Italian seasoning or whatever and bake.

Has anyone here seen Donald Gazzaniga's book "No-Salt, Lowest Sodium Cookbook" or tried his Lemon chicken recipe? It is one dish that even my wife (picky eater) likes and no one seems to notice it's a low sodium dish. It is primarily chicken cooked in lemonade concentrate, brown sugar and...
