https://www.thecountrycook.net/chicken-philly-sandwich/ , can i use chicken breast and any bread.

https://thecookinchicks.com/tuna-melt-panini/ , what can i use in place off cottage cheese. , can i use a george foreman panni press for this.

Why do you want to substitute? Is it the texture? The cottage cheese will melt. If you want, you could mash it up a bit before adding.

Ricotta is a good substitute.

thank you very much.

And the recipe you posted is for a panini press according to the instructions. The brand name doesn’t matter

thank you very much.

You can use chickn breast. That’s what chicken tenders are cut from. Since this is a sub recipe, you’ll want to use sub rolls as suggested in the recipe.

The recipe is for chicken, so use chicken! And just use whatever your favorite bread is. I have told you before, recipes are not meant to be exact... they are a guide. I usually make a recipe by what it says the first time. But after that I use other ingredients to make it more to our liking.

thank you guys very much.

You can substitute whatever you want.
My grandmother used to make "beef stroganoff."
Only she substituted chicken for the beef.
And she substituted tomato sauce for the sour cream.
etc.
What she ended up with was more like chicken cacciatore than beef stroganoff.
Nothing like beef stroganoff at all.

It didn't matter.
She liked it.
There's no law saying you have to follow a recipe exactly.
Just don't try substituting salt for sugar in a cake.

My brother makes his "tuna fish" sandwiches with canned chicken.
The canned chicken even smells sort of like canned tuna.
Some people call canned chicken "tuna of the dirt" because of the tuna-like way it smells.
That's a pun on the "Chicken of the Sea" brand of tuna.

Exactly what I say about recipes too! It's a good place to start, but substitute what you want! Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't!

thank you guys very much.

family, I combined the recipe questions. You can keep adding different questions to this thread please and thank you. It takes up a lot less room on the board if we don't open threads for each one.

Thank you, Ana. Sometimes it's hard to keep up with family's questions.

thank you ana, sorry about that.

No problem, Family! Just post your questions here and we will still respond to you!

FYI that I've always known tuna sandwiches to be made with cheddar cheese. Yummy!

https://cookthisagainmom.com/super-easy-chicken-divan/ and https://www.kyleecooks.com/chicken-divan/, i might make one of them, can i use frozen broccoli.

Sure. Just thaw the frozeen broccoli first and drain off any water before adding it to the recipe.

thank you very much.

family, just note that frozen broccoli has a different consistency than fresh. I won't eat canned or frozen veggies.

thank you guys very much.

Quick & Easy Shepherd's Pie Recipe (Made with Ground Beef)shepherd pie can i use beef sauce for (1.5oz) packet of beef stew seasoning mix,.

You can use whatever you like, there are no "rules" in a recipe, always adjust to your taste.

My husband hates veggies in a Shepards Pie, so ours are just ground beef and onion, my husband does not think of onions as a vegetable!

So use whatever seasoning you like the taste of.

Shepard's Pies are one of the best "comfort" foods in the world, as long as you put what YOU like in them.

In the U.K. we make shepherd's pie with minced lamb and cottage pie with minced beef - because over here, shepherds mind sheep

My husband and I were both born in the U.K. but strangely enough both our Mothers used ground beef (AKA mince) in their Shepard Pies, his in the far north of England and mine down in the southeast, so ground beef it is for us.

Must have been weird looking sheep confused some people!!!!

I don't know anything about Shepard's Pie but what do you mean by beef SAUCE family? Beef stew seasoning mix is a powder. There is already tomato soup in the recipe.

that what i have, but the recipe calls for beef stew seasoning mix,, i cannot find it.

Copper ....
If you Google the UK recipe for shepherd's pie you will find that the meat ingredient is lamb 🙂

What copper said, family. Substitute whatever you want. I've told you before that recipes are just guidelines.

That's good, Mad!

Here is an example of what a beef seasoning mix packet looks like here. At my local stores they are anywhere between a dollar and a dollar fifty apiece.

Thanks Marian. I think you should ask in the store family. Maybe you're looking in the wrong place.

Yes, these seasoning packets are usually found with a bunch of other seasoning packets such as taco seasoning, enchiladas, chili, spaghetti sauce packets, etc.

thanks marian very much.

I hope you are able to find something like this in the store, family.

https://cookthisagainmom.com/super-easy-chicken-divan/ what frozen broccolii can i use.

Any frozen broccoli in the frozen food section of your grocery store. Just be sure you thaw it and then drain all the water off first. That recipe sounds really good!

thank you very much.

https://thecookinchicks.com/chicken-pot-pie-bubble-up-casserole/, i want to use crescent rolls, can i use the same time. and use can mixed vegetables.

I looked up substitutions in recipes and many comments say you can substitute crescent rolls for biscuits. Canned veggies have a different consistency than frozen but you can certainly use them well drained.

thank you vwey much, can i cook it at the same time 35-45 on 375.

To be honest, I don't think I've ever cooked anything that was done in the time the recipe states, so my suggestion is look at it and check it and see if might need a little longer.

thank you very much.

That recipe sounds really good, family! I think I'm going to make it this weekend. I'm sure refrigerated crescent rolls would work just fine. As far as your baking time, it all kind of depends on your oven. I would just bake it until it is all bubbly and the crescent rolls start to brown on the top. And as Ana said, just drain your canned veggies well. The taste and texture will be different, but will work just fine.

https://thecookinchicks.com/chicken-crescent-casserole/, and https://thecookinchicks.com/cinnamon-roll-quick-bread/, never made bread, or roll crescent rolls, what you think.

The first recipe uses crescent rolls you purchase at the store. The second one isn't a yeast bread, so it's just mixing some stuff up and baking it. Sounds heavenly.

I make bread often where you mix up the dough and then knead it. It's a long process and takes a lot of work, but it's worth it!

thank you guys very much. https://thecookinchicks.com/king-ranch-chicken-casserole/, this one looks good. https://thecookinchicks.com/ham-cheese-and-broccoli-crustless-quiche/, what crust can i use. never mins i got my answer.I would suggest either a pie crust or using crescent rolls spread onto the bottom of a pie pan! Bake for a few minutes prior to assembling! Either of those are great options!

i am going have to use can crab for crab cakes, crab is disappearing, why.

family, this article here should answer some questions.

Ana

thank you very much.

https://2cookinmamas.com/deliciously-easy-chicken-casserole/, can i make this fating, i not into diet stuff.

Not sure what you mean by "make it fating?" This is FAR from a diet dish... each serving is like 500 calories. It sounds quite good just like it is! In fact, I think it sounds yummy!

thank you very much, never used yogurt to cook with.

It's quite good and I use it often. You could always substitute sour cream, but sometimes the taste will be a little different. I'd make it with yogurt the first time and if you want to change to sour cream the next time, go for it! Recipes are all about experimenting.

thank you very much

brought vailla low fat free yogurt, stuck with it can i use it.

You sure can! See how it turns out - you might really like it!

i use it and love it, i really enjoyed it.

Excellent! I had a feeling it was going to be good!

Family, you post some really good recipes and I thought I would post one for you. I normally don't like pie, cake, cookies and all that sweet stuff. But I made a pumpkin cheesecake pie today I told hubby he was going to have to eat all by himself because it was so good! I don't need to gain back any of the weight I've lost over the last couple of months!

I was lazy and just bought a graham cracker pie crust at the grocery store.

You'll need two 8-oz blocks of cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 eggs and 1/2 tsp vanilla for the bottom. For the top you'll need 1/2 cup of pumpkin from a can, cinnamon and some nutmeg.

In a mixer, mix up the two blocks of cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 eggs and 1/2 tsp vanilla until it's well mixed together... scrape down the sides of your mixer a couple of times. Remove 1 cup of the mixture and spread in the graham cracker crust. Then add 1/2 cup pumpkin, 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp of nutmeg to the remaining cream cheese mixture and mix it up really well again. Pour it over the first layer in the crust and spread it out. Bake at 325° for 35 - 40 minutes.

That sounds good, Drac! I am not a fan of pie crust in general and always prefer a graham cracker crust. My favorite for years was a lemon meringue pie with a graham cracker crust. I will have to try out your recipe.

Sounds good Drac but now what are you using the rest of the can of pumpkin for? That's the kind of thing that deters me from some recipes.

My thought exactly, oldbroad... I HATE throwing something like that away. I asked hubby and he said, just make another one of those pies!! So, I guess that's what I'll do. Otherwise, I was going to make a pumpkin bread which is super easy.

I've used leftover pumpkin in a coconut curry soup, which is always yummy.

Never thought of that one!

It's actually better than using butternut squash in coconut curry soup I think -- it has a more intense flavour. Or I mix it with a small butternut squash.

I'm sure there is always something you can do with the other half of whatever. I just don't always feel like looking for another recipe to use up that other half of whatever.

I've never frozen it, but you might be able to do that and save it for another pie down the road.

Oldbroad, I look up recipes for EVERYTHING! But that pumpkin bread is an old "tried and true" recipe from my grandma.

I've never frozen it either, hagatha, but I'm sure it would freeze quite nicely. I have worked up whole pumpkins and then pressure canned the puree - that is some yummy stuff!

Thousands of years ago when I was more ambitious than I am now, I remember making pumpkin pies from scratch using whole pumpkins and rolling out dough for crusts. These days if I want pie, I'll buy one already made.

I don't eat pie very often, but the ones from the store are always so awful!

oldbroad, I'm with you! I haven't baked in years, thankfully my taste buds aren't so refined and I can enjoy store bought too!

I'm too lazy for pie-making, so we don't eat pie much -- except for at Christmas, when John likes his mince pies and ice cream. The little tarts are already in the stores now.

For some reason pie never really appealed to me anyway. I'm more of a cheesecake sort of person. Or my absolute favourite dessert recipe -- Craig Claiborne's Flourless Chocolate Mousse Cake. If one must have empty calories, they should be divine, and that mousse cake most certainly is that!

https://worldofpans.com/can-you-bake-cake-in-springform-pan/ and https://www.wikihow.com/Bake-Cakes-in-Springform-Pans and https://www.wikihow.com/Use-a-Springform-Pan, can i not use it for regular cakes.

Sure. But for me, it would just be one more step for a regular cake. What kind of cakes do you plan on making?

cake mix from a box and can frosting, but add something to it to make it taste good. so i will look in my sandra lee semi-homemade cookbook for ideas.

https://shwetainthekitchen.com/creamy-mushroom-and-spinach-lasagna-recipe/, can i add chicken and frozen spinach.

Sure... just make sure you thaw and drain the spinach well first.

thank you very much.

https://www.food.com/recipe/waynes-beef-macaroni-and-cheese-316763, can broccoli be use instead of green pepper.

I don't think I would substitute broccoli in this recipe. It is kind of an American goulash with tomatoes etc. If you don't like peppers, you can just leave them out. I've made it like this and it was really good.

thank you very much, i will add the peppers, draclvr.

I don't think broccoli would be bad at all in this recipe. Maybe try the recipe this way first and then try it with broccoli next time. It will make the recipe different, but certainly not bad. I would guess that is how recipes get created in the first place, by trying different things out.

https://www.pauladeen.com/recipe/waynes-beef-macaroni-and-cheese/, found it here too. her sons are cooking it in a video.

It's a really good recipe, family!

i am doing it for cooking class, do not know what goes with it.

I would do a simple lettuce salad and maybe some cheesy garlic biscuits. To be honest, it's kind of a meal all by itself!

thank you very much.

https://thecookinchicks.com/chicken-and-dumpling-casserole/, after meat loaf, do you like it, what goes with it.

Oh, man, that sounds good! I saved the recipe for myself! Serve whatever you like with it... a veggie, maybe a salad. Serve whatever you like!

thank you very much.

I think I would have some nice green beans with that.

hunts meatloaf seasonings, where can i find it, meatloaf starter

I don't see a Hunt's meatloaf seasoning, but I found meatloaf seasoning on Amazon including this and this. There are others.

i will buy both, and thank you very much.

I think this is what you may have been looking for, family. It's not a packaged meatloaf seasoning, but Hunt's tomato sauce with meatloaf seasonings.

Hunt's Meatloaf Tomato Sauce

I don't use packaged meatloaf seasonings. I add a package of dry beefy onion soup mix, salt, pepper, ketchup, bread crumbs and beaten egg. It's actually the old and very famous Ann Landers Meatloaf!

thank you guys very much.

What about adding a few ground or chopped chilli peppers or even a bit of hot salsa to the mix?

https://www.food.com/recipe/original-ann-landers-meatloaf-506606, is this it, i hate hot foods, but if i did not, sounds good, 1
teaspoon maggi seasoning or 1 teaspoon msg, is accent, people put sauce/topping on their meatloaf.

I don't use the Maggi or the msg, although I do keep Maggi in the pantry. This is a very old recipe from back when msg was used in a lot of foods. It's not used very much at all any more.

thank you very much.

Draclvr, I grew up with and always had Maggi on hand till I discovered Braggs Amino Acids. It has proven to be an excellent healthier substitute that I use frequently.

We always have Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar on hand and I will check out their Amino product - I did not know there was one.

They have a cute little spray bottle available as well for a light misting, Marian!

The Braggs alternative sounds great! We mostly keep it on hand for when the Germans are here. Guenter uses it in a lot of stuff.

I get breakfast sausage in those tubes. I cut it into slices and then lay the slices on something flat and freeze them. Then I put in a Zip Loc bag. When I want to make sausage grave, I just get one out and thaw it in the microwave for 20 seconds and fry it in a pan. Then I turn off the heat and add 2 Tablespoons of flour, about 1/2 teaspoon of dried onions, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and some pepper. I mix that all together with the cooked sausage and then I add 1 cup of milk. I turn the burner back on and bring it up to a boil, turn down the heat and let it bubble for about a minute. Put some biscuits you can get in a tube in the oven according to the directions on the tube. Voila! You have biscuits and gravy!, i will write it down and try it sometime in cooking class or one day, my printer broken. thank you very much.

That would be a good thing for cooking class. That only makes about one cup of gravy, so you'd have to double or triple the recipe to make enough for more people.

https://whatsfordinner.com/recipes/chicken-and-noodle-pot-pie-recipe/, and https://www.sparklestosprinkles.com/chicken-pot-pie-noodles/, and https://www.campbells.com/recipes/chicken-noodle-casserole/, do these 3 look like good recipes try when i get a new printer. https://www.campbells.com/recipes/cheddar-broccoli-chicken-mashed-potatoes/, and this.

I think that's a matter of preference in what you want to eat and how much work you want to do. For myself, I think the last one looks both good and easy but I don't eat mashed potatoes so I would eat it with rice or noodles.

thank you very much.

Yes, that last one looks like comfort food!

Yup, all depends on what you like. We might not care for the recipes, but they might be great for you!

https://easybudgetrecipes.com/cracker-barrel-broccoli-cheddar-chicken-recipe/, found this, but can not do it, no 16×11-inch baking dish, and https://www.delish.com/cooking/reci...occoli-cheddar-chicken-casserole-recipe/, and https://copykat.com/cracker-barrel-broccoli-cheddar-chicken/, and this, https://www.tammileetips.com/copycat-cracker-barrel-broccoli-cheddar-chicken-recipe/, but does not say casserole dish size.

Just use whatever casserole dish you have. It doesn't have to be exact. As long as it all fits and it won't bubble over, it doesn't matter. I often use a large square casserole that is deep with no problems. The last one says they use a 9 x 13 dish.

And if you are worried about it bubbling over, put a cookie sheet under the pan, just in case. That's not ideal but it does help.

I have NEVER seen prices that low for those ingredients in that first recipe. $1.28 for 8 oz of Cheddar Cheese??????????????????????????

oldbroad, I had to laugh at those prices too!
