Long time ago I made baked chicken with cranberry sauce, butter with wild rice. Can not find the recipe. Any help?

Has anyone tried the green teas here on tvch? I just bought it for the first time, and the brand I bought, YUCK, smells like old wet grass. I want to know from you is this normal of green teas or is it just the brand I bought...Stash Premium, Premium Green Tea. Is there a brand that doesn't smell out there?

Searching for a cake recipe:

On TV the other day I saw on a show that the people were eating a carrot pumpkin cheesecake, but it was cheesecake on the bottom and carrot pumpkin cake on top, or something. It was more cakelike than cheesecake like.

Does anyone have a recipe like this. I tried googling it several different ways with no luck.

I don't remember. Ugh!!!

Might have seriously been something on QVC, something about cakes you can order. It was a late night insomnia thing. But, I can't find it anywhere on their website. If there is such a cake, you'd think that there'd be recipes out there.

Here is a link to a Carrot Orange Cheese Cake, not sure if this may work, but it sounds good.

No, that's not it, this was like a cake, like a carrot pumpkin cake that had a cheesecake base.

I saw an ad in a magazine (or was it online) that had something like you're describing Escapee. I remember looking at it thinking... holy sh*t that looks good. I'll do my best to figure it out..

Ok, my search took me in circles...Escapee, was the very bottom graham cracker crumbs?

I'm thinking just make a carrot-pumpkin cake..and top with cheesecake...then cut in squares.

Was the cheesecake pumpkin as well?

I'm thinking....might try an experiment in the kitchen tonight.

Is this the idea, Escapee?
www.ultimatecheesecakebakery.com/menu.asp
Carrot Cheesecake
our old fashion cheesecake swirled through moist carrot cake with a cream cheese icing


Unfortunately, this is a site where you order a cake like this. I was just wondering if it resembles what you are looking for?

How to you cook carrots? Hubby wanted some and we got canned. BLECH. I need to have a recipe w/o sugar or honey or anything sweet that will raise his blood sugar more.

Buy organic carrots because they taste better IMO and then just steam them.

Ok thanks.

Next question.

How do you steam veggies? *L* I've never done it. We're trying to eat more veggies than potatoes, corn, peas for him, green beans for me.

You can use just a regular pan if you don't have a steamer and just put your veggies in a small strainer or something that will fit inside your pan to hold them out of the water but that will let the steam come through. Bring a cup or so of water to a boil, set your strainer of veggies in the pan and cover until they are cooked as you like them.

Also, one of the storage bag companies (Ziplock, etc.) has a new baggie out that you steam veggies in the microwave in. I haven't tried them as I don't like to cook in the microwave but they look like they'd work okay.

Broccoli and cauliflower are excellent steamed also. I want to know how Chili's steams their broccoli. It is very good.

Thanks Chiliwilli!

I'll eat broccoli, but not cooked cauliflower. Just can't get past the smell. I'm going to try and make some bad for you broccoli [loads of velveeta, ritz crackers, and butter] to see if hubby will eat it, and slowly take away the bad stuff until we just have the broccoli. It's how I learned how to eat it.

Have you tried Chili's steamed broccoli? My six year old grandson will order that as his side dish instead of french fries. It is yummy!

The bags (there's a couple companies that do them now) really do work well. We've done corn on the cob, carrots, zuccini, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. Oh, I haven't tried spinach yet. Since using them, I cook a whole lot more fresh veggies than I used to, thats for sure.

I want to try the bags. I don't have a steamer but I use my strainer. It's a big metal one that fits perfectly in my big pot.

When you blanche veggies, how long are they good for? I was thinking I would blanche my green beans for thanksgiving, then when I saute it will go quicker. So could I do them the weekend before and just stick them in the fridge or will I need to freeze them? TIA
