food: Turkey Roasting 101
- 11/20/07 02:28 AM
Which is better, Fresh or Frozen? It is all up to preference. Fresh is ready to cook now, where a frozen will need to be defrosted. Doing this in the fridge is best. Allow one day per 5 pounds to thaw completely. You can soak it in cold water to spead up the process. 30 minutes per pound to thaw it out. Fresh is also costing about 1.00 more a pound, as I have seen. I just paid .39/lb yesterday for frozen. I put it right into the fridge.

food: Skillet Chicken Divan
- 11/02/07 05:28 AM
You can make this low carb version of chicken divan on the stovetop and run it under the broiler. Or forget the broiler and just serve and eat. Classic comfort food, and a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey (or buy a roasted chicken at the deli). Often you see it with almonds on top, but I like the texture of nuts throughout. You can use chopped walnuts or almonds. Milk can be substituted for the soy milk and/or cream, and the proportions of these can be changed as well. INGREDIENTS: 2.5 cups (or so) of chopped cooked chicken … (0 comments)
