Gee! I live 4 blocks from Trader Joe’s & don’t do all that much cooking anymore!
Only $3.99…I used to make salads 🥗 
Fun thread yet again @katzrul15 . As you know, I do a lot of baking and cooking. Some recipes are secret though! Here is a very versatile recipe that's a go to in our house:
Spaghetti Pie
1/2 pound spaghetti, cooked (thin or regular)
2 large eggs (1 works fine too)
15 ounces ricotta cheese
3/4 cup Parmesan or Romano cheese (optional)
1 cup marinara sauce (out of the jar is fine)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
(I add chopped spinach, basil, oregano, chopped mushrooms, chopped onions, garlic)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
Grease 9" pie plate. In large bowl, beat eggs. Stir in ricotta, salt, pepper and Parmesan until blended. Add spaghetti and stir until well-coated. Put in pie plate and top with marinara. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake 25 minutes in 350 degree oven. Let sit 10 minutes before cutting (like a pie!).
I have substituted pesto for the marinara when I have a bumper crop of parsley and basil. I have also used alfredo and it is dreamy! You can add in so many things: spinach, basil, oregano, mushrooms, onions, garlic, ground beef, chicken. They will incorporate into the mixture just fine.
Steamed (snow) Crab Legs: I have been making these for years when we can get them at a good price. They are so easy to make ...
-Keep the crab legs frozen until they are ready to go in the steamer
-For the steamer I use spring water and a good pinch of Sea Salt
-Once the steamer is steaming put the frozen crab legs in, put the lid on the steamer and set timer for 6 minutes. This does not over cook them and the meat typically pulls right out of the cracked shells
We love seafood and I worked at a seafood restaurant years ago as a bus boy but picked up some tips for cooking seafood there. I also enjoy making whole Maine lobster (have had this shipped in occasionally), sea scallops (those are the big ones, Bay scallops are the small ones), shrimp.
@policequilts You guys and your marshmallows! I haven't had one since I was a kid, so somebody can have my share! I'm not sure why marshmallows are needed for an already sweet drink. As a kid, I used to dip my buttered toast in my cocoa. The saltiness of the butter was perfect in the sweet drink. That's too sweet for me now and I drink black coffee or bouillon to warm up.
