Hello, For my school project I'm making a Civil War dish, are there any cheap and easy ideas? ThanksEasy Civil War food recipes?
If you want the classic civil war ration, make some Hardtack. It's simple and authentic.
Army Hardtack Recipe
Ingredients:
* 4 cups flour (perferably whole wheat)
* 4 teaspoons salt
* Water (about 2 cups)
* Pre-heat oven to 375掳 F
* Makes about 10 pieces
Mix the flour and salt together in a bowl. Add just enough water (less than two cups) so that the mixture will stick together, producing a dough that won鈥檛 stick to hands, rolling pin or pan. Mix the dough by hand. Roll the dough out, shaping it roughly into a rectangle. Cut into the dough into squares about 3 x 3 inches and 陆 inch thick.
After cutting the squares, press a pattern of four rows of four holes into each square, using a nail or other such object. Do not punch through the dough. The appearance you want is similar to that of a modern saltine cracker. Turn each square over and do the same thing to the other side.
Place the squares on an ungreased cookie sheet in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Turn each piece over and bake for another 30 minutes. The crackers should be slightly brown on both sides.
The fresh crackers are easily broken but as they dry, they harden and assume the consistentency of fired brick.Easy Civil War food recipes?
The potato was one of the main foods in the cicil war, see the link with some recipes:

SAUSAGE AND APPLES
This old Virginia dish is easy and delicious. Start with about a pound of sausage meat. You can obtain the real stuff at most butchers but I suppose Jimmy Dean will do in a pinch. Form into patties and fry lightly in a pan until just browned. Remove the sausage, pour our the fat (not in the fire) and melt some butter in the pan, enough to barely cover the bottom. Core and slice three apples to a thickness of about 1/4 inch and place in pan setting it over a low heat. When apples have softened slightly add a half cup of brown sugar and a tablespoon of cinnamon. As soon as the sugar has mixed with the butter and formed a thick syrup add back the sausage and cook for another ten minutes or so.

Does anyone know of any easy recipe for cat food? What do cats like and what can they not eat?
The answer to your question is more complicated than you probably expected.
Read this for all you'll ever need to know about properly feeding your kitty a healthy, species-specific diet:
http://www.catinfo.orgDoes anyone know of any easy recipe for cat food? What do cats like and what can they not eat?
Home made cat food is a difficult thing. There are people who can tell you how to make it and web sites with recipes but I would talk you out of it. Cats are nutritionally complicated little buggers and I don't see why the cat food companies would have any interest in killing off their customers. Longer lived cats, more cat food sold right? If you must it's Taurine they need for their little hearts. DO NOT FEED A HOMEMADE DOG FOOD. CATS ARE NOT LITTLE DOGS. Sorry to shout but a cat on dog food will die.Does anyone know of any easy recipe for cat food? What do cats like and what can they not eat?
The catinfo site is great about what cats should eat. You can go to www.littlebigcat.com and read some of Jean Hovfe, DVM's articles on cat diets.
I consider my recipe for raw cat food easy. I use a commercial supplement powder to mix with my meat. Make up my ';meatloaf'; and freeze it, then thaw as needed. And then I have been doing it for seven years.
It is not ';easy'; in the sense that it takes a lot of commitment to get it right and is not like opening a bag or a can. It is the best thing you can do for your cats.
I recommend you join the Yahoo group Holisticat or Feline Future to find people who will gladly share their experience, recipes and give you support through the whole process. There are a number of other groups on Yahoo too. Those two are just two I visit frequently.
Actually taurine is present in all raw meat, especially hearts. It is no longer an issue in cat food as it has been added to all commercial cat food for the last ten years.Taurine is destroyed by cooking so the raw meat is the greatest source.
.
Be careful with home recipes for cat food. There is an ingredient in commercial and vet cat food that prevents enlargement of the heart. I believe it's Taurine, but don't hold me to that. Many strays die of this disease because they don't have access to this ingredient. They must have access at an early age, or their heart will enlarge at about the age of two, and kill them even with treatment by the age of 5. The voice of experience with a stray kitten...
if you make your own cat food you will possibly miss out on some additives that are beneficial for cats that the good foods put in... certainly the foods sold in Wal Mart and grocery stores are CRAP but there are good foods out there
cats are true carnivours they need primarily meat protein - some plant matter is ok, rice in particular
milk and fish are BAD since they have high amounts of calcium and calcium contributes to urinary tract health problems and of course cats are lactose intollerant so shouldnt have milk anyhow... (or cheese...)
pumkin and beet pulp are ok and help with hairballs and digestion

I want to make dinner for my boyfriend. What are recipes of quick, easy foods that are also fancy looking?
I don't know why I can't answer twice, so I'll add it here! Here's a couple recipes that are easy but he won't know it!
Darn! Meant to say, you can use shrimp instead of chicken in this one %26amp; it's sooo good!
Chicken %26amp; Broccoli Alfredo with Peppers
Chicken, raw-diced (boneless/skinless is easiest, I usually use 1 large breast) 1/2 sliced onion 1 1/2 cups diced peppers (I use green, red, yellow - whatever) garlic, salt, pepper to taste: add all into large frying pan (use olive oil or butter if not a non-stick pan) cook on medium til done. Pour in 1 jar alfredo sauce, add 1/4 cup milk to the empty jar, shake it up, pour that in, simmer on low while you cook the pasta (I do 4 servings of linguine) %26amp; steam or microwave the fresh broccoli florets. If you want to cheat on the broccoli, thaw frozen florets ahead of time %26amp; cook right in the pasta pot. Put pasta on plate, then broccoli, and spoon alfredo mix over it. This takes me about 45 minutes, start to finish, but it's easier than it sounds! And tastes great with garlic bread %26amp; salad, or alone!
Steak or Pork Stir Fry
Steak or pork, cut into strips. Package of frozen stir fry veggies, pre-made jar sauce or package you mix- I use teriyaki or sweet and sour. 1/2 can pineapple chunks (drained) Rice or thin noodles. Start rice now if using non-instant. Mix meat, sauce %26amp; pineapple in frying pan, cook on medium until meat is done. While that's cooking, start instant rice or noodles cooking AND the veggies. I microwave the veggies for 2 minutes less than the package says %26amp; toss them in the sauce mix for 2 minutes instead. Mix meat/veggies, put on top of rice or pasta. Sprinkle it with sesame seeds if you want to dress it up.
Hope these make sense! Any questions, ask. I have a good spaghetti pie recipe too. Good luck!
What kinds of food does he like? Or dislike, for that matter? I have a few recipes for chicken, steak, broccoli, alfredo but it would help to have more info about his %26amp; your tastes.I want to make dinner for my boyfriend. What are recipes of quick, easy foods that are also fancy looking?
I would spend time making some yummy and cute appetizers. My fiancee (who also likes food of all kinds) really loves hammy roll-ups. buy a pound of that cheap rectangle ham--';deli ham'; not the fancy honey or smoked. spread room temp cream cheese on each piece. roll up a washed green onion in it, then carefully slice (about 1/2 in) so that you have cute swirls of ham. If you don't like green onion, you can also use pickle instead.
you could also buy some of those mine egg rolls-mmmm
Whatever you serve, make it well-rounded. serve bread w/maybe some seasonings and olive oil for dipping, a veggie, and dessert--you could do shortcake or buy one of those sara lee square cakes.
set the table nice, clean up the kitchen some, light a few candles etc. :)
Oh, and if you have time/motivation, this link is good and easy, too. :)even if you've never roasted a chicken.I want to make dinner for my boyfriend. What are recipes of quick, easy foods that are also fancy looking?

cornish game hens are fancy looking, and easy to make on the grill (place hens in foil pan coated with cooking spray. Grill over indirect heat for 15 min per pound or until 180 degrees)
Serve with scallopped potatoes or gratin potatoes, and steamed asparagus or green beans.
Or
Grill up a couple of chicken breasts and slice them, fan them over spaghetti---easy and elegant looking
serve with garlic bread and mixed green salad served in parmesan bowls (www.sargento.com)
If the sky's the limit, seafood is expensive but fancy- mussels and shrimp are quick and easy, toss it onto some pasta with some parmesan and heavy cream- yum. Get a little extra cream and make creme brulee- it's actually very simple, but so rich and fancy. Good luck!

brown some chicken in a frying pan, with lots of garlic and pepper,

i think you should make small creamed rice bowls, like little containers that you can eat out of.
it can be eaten cold or warmed
you should get 1 litre of milk and 2 cups of rice and stir in some juice or honney and a little sugar if needed, maybe even some fruit pieces cut up finely and then maybe some cinnamon.
keep stirring until all milk is soaked up and it is cooked.
good luck with your wedding!

I have this belly fat right over my six pack and i need to get rid of it before bathingsuit season... so besides doing major crunchie/situp training does anyone know of the foods i can eat to get rid of that?Does anyone have some good easy recipes for healthy foods?
Try adding yogurt and fresh veggies and fruits (uncooked and no dipping sauces) in place of potatoes, rice, bread also eat your meat grilled or broiled to reduce fat. Sensible switching and eating the same calories will work. You need to eat more foods that burn calories and less fat since it stores calories. You can eat cheese and yogurt since they actually help eliminate fat from the body. Good Luck!Does anyone have some good easy recipes for healthy foods?

I'm doing food 4 my Dads funeral n need easy cheap finger food recipe's that i can do the day before! HELP!!!!
Taco Boats are good and will fill up an empty stomach and may even make some forget their grief for a moment.
Wonton Wraps
2 pounds hamburger meat
1 large sweet onion chopped
2 pkts. of Ranch Dressing Mix, dry
Grated Cheddar Cheese
Pre-bake the wraps in a muffin tin and transfer them to a cookie sheet as you bake. They will make little bowls. You can find the wraps in the produce section.
Brown your meat and chopped onion and drain. Mix in the two pkts. of Ranch Dressing Mix and stir well.
Spoon into bowls and top with grated cheese and place back in the oven to melt the cheese.
But really, it was your father, the food should be brought to you instead of you having to worry about i. You have enough on your plate as it is.
Sorry for your loss dear.
These heat up well without the wraps getting soggy. Wonton wraps are pretty solid once baked.
Bean Salad with a twist!
Get about five cans of mixed beans, drain them and add them to a bowl with a large bottle of French Dressing. Have two bags of Frito Corn Chips ready when you are ready to serve and dump them in and mix well. Good protein and fiber and the Frito's makes this special.
This does not even have to be refrigerated, just make sure you mix the Frito's when you are ready for everyone to eat and not before.
It will disappear.I'm doing food 4 my Dads funeral n need easy cheap finger food recipe's that i can do the day before! HELP!!!!
chicken salad pea salad sorry for loss poatoe saladI'm doing food 4 my Dads funeral n need easy cheap finger food recipe's that i can do the day before! HELP!!!!
Relish and cheese trays?
olives, pickles, veggies, dip, cheese, crackers.
Maybe some sort of cracker spreads, too.
A good one is: finely shredded cheddar cheese, canned or jarred pimentos( drained) and salad dressing. It's really delicious.
finger sandwiches (egg, tuna, ham spread)
cookies
cupcakes
Pinwheels (tortillas, cream cheese, lunch meat, lettuce and roasted bell peppers in the jar by the pickle section) make into a wrap then cut into finger size sandwiches
chips and dip
veggie tray with dips
Hope this helps
ok first of all as everyone said so sorry. i know what thats like you really dont need to be worrying about food right now.
i would suggest buying a platter if not:
pigs in a blanket- pillsbury crescent rolls in te tube and get the cocktail weiners in the plastic package easy just put tem together.
veggie platter-just get like 4 cheap veggies cherry toms no cutting. get a lg sour cream and a package of hidden valley ranch ranch dip mix for dip. easy cheap. good luck
So sorry about the loss of your father. :( Pasta salad, egg salad sandwiches, macaroni salad, sliced cheese and pepperoni cubes, cook a ham and slice it for sandwiches...
Not sure if that helps but maybe a couple will work for you.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Buy some rolls and get some meat trays.
make it easy for yourself
God bless
So sorry to hear that...
Lots of people call us for times like these, I'd suggest calling a local sandwich shop, it'll save you time, and probably won't cost much more than if you did it yourself.
If you have 50 people, ask for 25 sandwiches cut in half, or quarters, and pick them up the day of the funeral. You can bulk up the rest of the table with chips, pretzels, dips, fruit, salads that sort of thing.
Ask friends and family for help, that's what they are there for in times like these, they won't mind.
Good luck ...
So sorry.
I am sorry for your lose. If you have a membership to a local wholesale club or even at your local supermarket they have lots of finger foods that are easily baked in your oven
very sorry for your loss, i would do a buffet table mixed with all different stuff
potato salad, macaroni salad
a cheese plate
a cold meats plate
you could do some sausage rolls, spring rolls,
you could also do a plate of sandwiches egg salad, tuna salad
you could put out some kaiser buns and people could make sandwiches out of the cold meats and cheese trays
this link is geared toward poker party foods. But the ideas are really good, easy, and cheap. I tried them and will do them again often.

Wonton Wraps
2 pounds hamburger meat
1 large sweet onion chopped
2 pkts. of Ranch Dressing Mix, dry
Grated Cheddar Cheese
Pre-bake the wraps in a muffin tin and transfer them to a cookie sheet as you bake. They will make little bowls. You can find the wraps in the produce section.
Brown your meat and chopped onion and drain. Mix in the two pkts. of Ranch Dressing Mix and stir well.
Spoon into bowls and top with grated cheese and place back in the oven to melt the cheese.
But really, it was your father, the food should be brought to you instead of you having to worry about i. You have enough on your plate as it is.
Sorry for your loss dear.
These heat up well without the wraps getting soggy. Wonton wraps are pretty solid once baked.
Bean Salad with a twist!
Get about five cans of mixed beans, drain them and add them to a bowl with a large bottle of French Dressing. Have two bags of Frito Corn Chips ready when you are ready to serve and dump them in and mix well. Good protein and fiber and the Frito's makes this special.
This does not even have to be refrigerated, just make sure you mix the Frito's when you are ready for everyone to eat and not before.
It will disappear.I'm doing food 4 my Dads funeral n need easy cheap finger food recipe's that i can do the day before! HELP!!!!
chicken salad pea salad sorry for loss poatoe saladI'm doing food 4 my Dads funeral n need easy cheap finger food recipe's that i can do the day before! HELP!!!!
Relish and cheese trays?
olives, pickles, veggies, dip, cheese, crackers.
Maybe some sort of cracker spreads, too.
A good one is: finely shredded cheddar cheese, canned or jarred pimentos( drained) and salad dressing. It's really delicious.
finger sandwiches (egg, tuna, ham spread)
cookies
cupcakes
Pinwheels (tortillas, cream cheese, lunch meat, lettuce and roasted bell peppers in the jar by the pickle section) make into a wrap then cut into finger size sandwiches
chips and dip
veggie tray with dips
Hope this helps
ok first of all as everyone said so sorry. i know what thats like you really dont need to be worrying about food right now.
i would suggest buying a platter if not:
pigs in a blanket- pillsbury crescent rolls in te tube and get the cocktail weiners in the plastic package easy just put tem together.
veggie platter-just get like 4 cheap veggies cherry toms no cutting. get a lg sour cream and a package of hidden valley ranch ranch dip mix for dip. easy cheap. good luck
So sorry about the loss of your father. :( Pasta salad, egg salad sandwiches, macaroni salad, sliced cheese and pepperoni cubes, cook a ham and slice it for sandwiches...
Not sure if that helps but maybe a couple will work for you.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Buy some rolls and get some meat trays.
make it easy for yourself
God bless
So sorry to hear that...
Lots of people call us for times like these, I'd suggest calling a local sandwich shop, it'll save you time, and probably won't cost much more than if you did it yourself.
If you have 50 people, ask for 25 sandwiches cut in half, or quarters, and pick them up the day of the funeral. You can bulk up the rest of the table with chips, pretzels, dips, fruit, salads that sort of thing.
Ask friends and family for help, that's what they are there for in times like these, they won't mind.
Good luck ...
So sorry.
I am sorry for your lose. If you have a membership to a local wholesale club or even at your local supermarket they have lots of finger foods that are easily baked in your oven
very sorry for your loss, i would do a buffet table mixed with all different stuff
potato salad, macaroni salad
a cheese plate
a cold meats plate
you could do some sausage rolls, spring rolls,
you could also do a plate of sandwiches egg salad, tuna salad
you could put out some kaiser buns and people could make sandwiches out of the cold meats and cheese trays

What are some healthy foods/recipes that are easy to make?
My boyfriend has high blood pressure and is 40 pounds over weight for his age, only 19 years old. He eats very unhealthy foods, like fast food every day. I want to help him change that, and get healthy. By doing so, im willing to make him food everyday that is good for him, but im not to sure of anything that is healthy, yet still tastes good to eat. Please send me recipes or just ideas of what I could make him. Thanks =]What are some healthy foods/recipes that are easy to make?
There are lots of options to be healthy, but remember to include some good fats and flavor in your recipies because otherwise he won't want to stick to his new diet and will end up binging. Not good. Also, no frying (!) and the less butter or oil you use the better.
Any kind of chicken or fish broiled or grilled (with creative seasonings to change it up) is great paired with fresh steamed veggies w/ salt and pepper. sounds boring but it's great if you spice it up with herbs, light cheeses, lemon zest, etc., you can have different flavors all the time.
Get light italian dressing and drizzle over sliced tomatoes, cucumbers and low fat feta cheese for a side dish.
My favorite snack right now is baby carrots with hummus (roasted red pepper flavor) and it's awesome. filling and flavorful and light on calories. If ever in doubt, wrap your favorite salad, easy on dressing, in a pita or something.
These are only ideas, nothing fancy, but hopefully it helps!What are some healthy foods/recipes that are easy to make?
Any grilled white meat is the healthiest, mainly chicken and fish. Steamed veggies are good too. Go on www.allrecipes.com
I think that's great that you want to help! The first step is making sure there are healthy snacks around. Yogurt instead of ice cream, fruit like bananas and apples instead of potato chips (or at least the baked kind of potato chips if he has to have them), use whole grain bread instead of white bread, etc. Carrots with ranch dressing is a classic great snack too.
My family enjoys stir frys with broccoli, sweet peppers, and carrots. Basically, you just cut up the vegetables and saute them in a pan that you sprayed Pam on. Pour on some soy sauce for flavor. Make some rice in a separate pot (buy plain long grain rice or yellow rice and follow the directions on the package) and serve the vegetables over the rice. You can put shrimp or chicken or even strips of steak in your stir fry. If you use different colors of peppers, it's a really pretty dish. You can even buy pre-made stir frys in the frozen section of the grocery store (like Create-a-Meal or other brands).
awww. that's so sweet! Well, you can look on the food network website. www.foodnetwork.com. I'm sorry, I can't help you if you're not looking for links.
