Looking for suggestions to balance the plate out...so far creamed corn, slaw, and cornbread seem to be the easiest/cheapest for crowd of 100. Anyone know of other ideas? I'd like to add Andouille Sausage (I think that's how you spell) but trying to keep costs in order if possible. Just curious for any of the cajun cuisine folks on here. Corn on the cob or hushpuppies are a couple more options. Cajun food lends itself to substitution pretty easily. If you can't find andouille or its too expensive then regular smoked sausage works great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 Any air fryers on here? Finally got one and looking for some easy/simple go to recipes and time/temp to cook? Picked up a bunch of wings to start with tonight. Everything I read says 400 for 10 minutes to defrost if frozen...transfer to bowl, season accordingly and another 12-14 minutes. The house loves sweet potatoes too. Curious about sliced sweet potato recipes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Ok Air Fryer folks. Jumped on board a few weeks ago and got and honestly I'm amazed at everything you can cook in these. I just ran across this one though that has me curious. So each week I meet a guy for farm fresh eggs. I looked this up after he told me about it and said put the eggs in basket...he said 275 degrees for 13-14 minutes and throw the eggs in ice bath for perfect hard boiled. Anyone do this before? We've been cooking everything with it so far from farmers market stuff to wings, burgers...just curious on the eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronkonagurski Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 Anyone here partake in the meal box game? I've been a subscriber to Marley Spoon for nearly 5 years. I don't do it every week but it has really got me into cooking, I've learned to make a lot of different foods and bought a lot of cooking hardware I never owned before. Checking out Hello Fresh this week for a change of pace. Got a discount code for the first box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checking out Hello Fresh this week for a change of pace. Got a discount code for the first box. I'm interested. My cousin has tried a few different ones. I'll pick her brain and come back. I'm weird though, I like to shop, people watch and find clearance items. It would be nice for like one family meal once every two weeks or something. And learn new stuff and do different foods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checking out Hello Fresh this week for a change of pace. Got a discount code for the first box. I haven't done meals but I have and am about to restart produce delivery from a place called misfits market. You can get fruits and vegetables that are a little dinged at discount prices. I've gotten quite a few things I can't get locally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Anyone know anything about Lychee plants/fruits on here? Admittedly didn't know a thing about taste or comparable fruit. Just curious. Friend of mine is looking into some fields in Hawaii and was curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, with prices and kroger having brisket deals 2 or 3 times this summer, I've been able to grab 2 at $2.99 a lb and 3.99. Doggone roast is been around 5.99 everytime I look. I'm like screw it, I'm splurging and get a fillet. Google predict blows Edited August 28, 2023 by NotIThatLives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be afraid of a broken down smoker. The rebuild kits are on Amazon, depending on what you need from motor at 25 bucks to all the guts for 75. I've rebuilt my own and one at the firehouse. Pretty easy really. Just youtube and a screw driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
