Hi Mindy

4 cups pineapple juice &
2 liter gingerale

Try it,,it really does taste great!

volant: thanks.

simplycreative: Beef stew can be a bit of a catch all like soup. Putting in what you like and leaving out what you don't. And don't worry too much about the exact amounts. Here is a recipe I found i hope it helps some.

Beef Stew
1/3 cup flour
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 pounds round steak trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1 inch pieces
3 Tbs olive oil
1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
4 and 1/2 cups beef broth
1 bay leaf
2 medium onions chopped
4 carrots trimmed and sliced
2 stalks celery sliced
4 cups 1 inch peeled cubed potatoes

In a plastic food storage bag combine paprika, salt and pepper. Add half of the meat and shake to coat. Remove meat and repeat with other half.
In a large heavy pot heat half of the oil put in half of the meat and brown on all sides. About 8 minutes. Add half of the Worcestershire sauce, stir. Remove meat to a plate or bowl. Repeat with the remaining oil, meat and Worcestershire sauce.
Return the meat to the pot. Add enough beef broth to just cover the meat, about 2 cups. Add the bay leaf. Simmer covered for 1 hour.
Add the onion, celery, carrots and potatoes to the pot.
Add enough beef broth to cover the vegetables. Simmer on low covered, stirring occasionally, untill the beef and vegetables are fork tender about 45 minutes. Fish out the bay leaf and discard. Taste and add salt and pepper if desired.

i'm wanting to fix these two, but my cook books aren't real clear on the ingredients and directions. they both seem really easy, but i'm not sure.

That is a cool idea. Thanks!

Ingredients to layer in the jar. Do not mix them together just layer them. Not necessarily in the order given. Looks nicer if layering light ingredients to dark and switching them back and forth.

1 Cup plus 2 Tbs flour
2/3 Cup packed brown sugar
3/4 tsp salt
2/3 Cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 Cup baking cocoa
1/2 Cup chocolate chips
1/2 Cup chopped nuts

Then decorate with a swatch of cloth on the lid and a rubber band or ribbon to hold it on. I use 32 oz mayonaise jars since they are just the right size. Then add a tag all fancied up with the following on the back.

Brownies in a Jar

Just add
2/3 Cups vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla
3 eggs

In a bowl beat eggs, oil and vanilla. Add mix from jar and stir well. Bake in a 9x9 in. pan at 350 degrees for 34 - 38 mins.

I just did a search and founds some under the word Christmas.. :)

Cool MsScarlet..I really like the holiday recipes using Splenda. Thanks for the site!

Thanks for another good recipe site Foxy!

No offense but I find it strange that several people can post off topic here but only one gets ridiculed for it. The fact that they are pawn doesn't make their opinion any less important, does it?

Thank You volant.

RECIPE BOARD

Thank You :)

I know of many poor people who not only have internet, but 4 tvs, video games, large salt water fish tanks etc.... How can they be poor and still afford all of this, you ask? My government gives them my money to pay for their food and housing and medical.

Who the heck do you think you are! How dare you judge other people! Is that not what God is for! To judge! Seems to me you think you are a pretty special person because your hubby and you serve meals! Big deal!A lot of us do that too! Maybe you should try standing in one of those lines. I do not think that this is the kind of poor anyone here is talking about! Do you not know that it is a sin to boast about your blessing that you give! I think you should come down off your cloud and try to see what these folks are attempting to do! What is wrong with trying to help your neighbor! Is that not what God has asked of us! Treat others as you want to be treated! YOU do not KNOW the circumstances of all people here or elsewhere! God Bless you all that are trying to make this work!

I tried your recipe and it was very good,i added cherries along with the nuts.

this is for Foxy Lady ok I am poor and I can't afford to become a member and would very much like too

Yes isn't Cathy pretty? Now ya know what we look like so get your pic on here.I tried to get MJ to come on here,now maybe she will.

Yeaaaaaa Sky good to see ya over here.Hey get a paid membership cheaper than you know where.Than ya can get into our Fellowships.

Harley that sounds more like it than was brought up.

hey Cathy~how are ya~ ur very attractive~

it is me Cathy.. with all those fancy swirls!! LOL

Great to see ya!

Hi Foxy, its Sky how are you, I finally got over here~ I love ur pic~I needd to get one of me on~I am Gypsy here~

If it was just a printed recipe book, folded A4 pages maybe stapled in the middle, it would only cost for ink. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, the kids school does recipe books, about 4 or 5 A4 sheets, folded, and charge £1 each to raise money for the school.
We could also do joke books taken from the joke board.

BTW some tournys offer a 6 month membership if anyone wins.

First you need to gather alot of recipes to make a book.Who's going to publish it and you need a backer were talking money..Sounds like a good idea but i disagree about anyone being poor on this site or any other.If that was true i'd rather adopt a Family for Christmas.

Here's a good one with some other things added.

http://www.growley.com/c-mrs.claus.html

the message is above

Dolittle is right

Nobody would get brains for them unless they posted your ID number. And they wouldn't be paying for the membership so that wouldn't happen I guess.

then that would be great.. But, who gets the brains for them?

I agree with you Red44, I think it's a great idea and I would be willing to contribute some recipes and buy a cookbook as well!!

well since it was my idea I could do it or we could take a vote as to who does it but as I said to ScarletRose the money would go to help people who can't afford membership get a membership minus shipping ahd handling

Ok so what your saying is that you don't want to help the poor people get a membership here then because that is where the money would be going and nobody except the site would be making the money for this book of recipes to help poor people that would like a membership could get one

That could be a great idea.

well.. I think if my recipes go into a book that is making money.. I should get a piece of the pie.. So.. no ideas of a cookbook please..

That's a great idea but who is going to publish the cookbook!

so anybody here willing to start a cookbook that the site can sell to make money so that if someone does what to become a member but can't afford to then they could it would be something like a fund raiser to help the poor join as a member
