It's thick like this -
{ Image: //i.pinimg.com/originals/a6/dd/e1/a6dde1a0cb4826e5dea4143550cf49bb.jpg }

seems to make more sense that way. English can be an odd language at times
Don't think we have tomato paste.

Here we consider the thick pasty product as "paste', the thinnest product as "sauce" with "purée" between them.
I was misinformed by the web that "passata" was paste.
Sorry for the confusion.

Very confusing, in UK puree is very thick and rich. Thinner strained tomato is passata

Tomato pasare is what we call tomato paste. It has been strained and much of the liquid has been cooked down.
Tomato puree is much thinner as it hasn't been cooked down so much.

1. Chili recipe

1 pound ground turkey meat or beef
1 packet chili powder of your choice
1 16oz can kidney beans
1 16oz can tomato sauce
1 8oz can of tomato paste

Seasoning:
Mrs Dash 1/4
1/4 garlic powder
1/4 onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Cook your turkey medium heat then add your spices after that add your drained kidney beans and tomato sauce and paste stir together and summer till thicken unless you want it thinner than a little water and then let it simmer cook on medium heat and enjoy

Eat with crackers or shredded cheese.

2. Chilli sin carne

As the name suggests, this is the vegetarian version of my chilli con carne.
I made it a couple of weeks ago and added butternut squash for an experiment, it turned out really good.

Ingredients
1x large onion, finely chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
1x large green pepper (capsicum) chopped into bite-size pieces
2-3 green or red chillies, seeded and finely chopped (or ground chilli pepper)
1x tin chopped tomatoes
1x tin chickpeas (drained)
1x tin red kidney beans (drained)
2-3 courgettes, sliced
1x small butternut squash, diced
2x tbl-spoon tomato puree
1 tbl-spoon paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp brown sugar
dash Worcestershire sauce
olive oil

Directions
Heat oil in a large pan, add the onion and fry until it sweats; add garlic, Worcestershire sauce, green pepper and chopped chillies and continue to fry for a few more minutes.
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well, allow to simmer for approx 30 mins until a thick sauce has formed.
I sometimes add a dash of Lager beer to the recipe, if I have any handy (I got this from a Mexican recipe)
Serve with boiled rice, or as an alternative couscous.

Do you have any friends or family you can count on, sometimes you have to ask even if you do not want to. If you own where you are you can always sell and move into town, there are none of us getting any younger. If its not starting it could be a battery problem. I am just throwing things out there to look at. Hope things get better for you soon....

Thank you , It will start off badly , since my truck is down , just got it 2 months ago , only made one payment , and now its not running . No idea whats wrong and can't work without it . with my health I need a dependable vehicle . Living out in the sticks 20 miles from the nearest ER , if my asthma flared up I would be in a serious way , with no way to get to hospital .

EggyI had a poll up to vote beans or no beans..nothing was said about the recipe...I will make sure you get one however, sorry your having such a bad year, hope 2025 is better for you.

I just canned 9 quarts of chili. I usually use 18 jalapeños and 18 serranos in my recipe but couldn't find any serranos when I last went shopping. I bought 32 jalapeños. It still has a bit of a bite.
I'll write up the recipe soon.

A lot of those kits for making chili are good, but nothing beats that homemade....I live alone so the kits are easier for me....back in the day I would start with a pot of pinto beans and then start adding for chili, it was so good. I think the one I grab the most now is 2Alarm Chili mix.

Easy Cheat Chili

1 can Nalley's Chili
1/4 cup Salsa (I used Ghost Pepper Salsa)
1/2 cup shredded Sharp Cheddar

Mix it all in a microwave safe bowl, and nuke for two minutes. Stir in Sour Cream to taste, and eat with Tortilla Round Chips.

I LOVE Bush's chili magic....all you do is brown 1 pound ground beef in skillet, then add 14-15 oz. can petite diced tomatoes and can of Chili Magic (I use MILD). Stir to combine and cover and simmer 10 minutes. ENJOY!

I fixed myself a pot of chili yesterday, a little spicy but good...I used a store bought package tho

She'll come back and give it to you for sure

thought you said first 10 , I only see 9 names , I posted my recipe with beans that didn't count as a vote for beans ? Merry Christmas to all .

Not having a good one this year , too much gone wrong past few days , say some prayers

With Beans won, an actual surprise to me lol

Thank you for your consideration

I grew up north in Wa state, always beans. Still in Wa, but on keto, no or few beans. And I've really grown to love it that way. Everything else gets to shine!!

Beans, yes.

I like beans and lots of meat in mine

It's also not chilli unless it has 2 Ls

I like beans in my chili and prefer
'No beans' on my Chili dogs.

It's not chili if there's no beans. Defiantly beans!

As the name suggests, this is the vegetarian version of my chilli con carne.
I made it a couple of weeks ago and added butternut squash for an experiment, it turned out really good.

Definitely beans

Thank you , I sure will try..

I voted no beans

I voted... definitely prefer chili with NO beans!

There is a huge argument about beans in chili, each side is adamant about the subject.

I am in Texas....most Texans are "No Beans", however I love to add Pinto beans to mine. So a little poll here to see what everyone here thinks. I will award the first 10 pollsters a random Christmas 2024 Token.

Sounds good, thanks for the entry and stay warm

Winner of Pizza making was **YANKEE ROSE*JR FRANK PAB

1. Crescent roll pizza

Crescent roll pizza is made with a can of crescent roll dough or a can of crescent roll dough that comes in sheet form. Roll out the crescent roll dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet and pinch the seams closed. Bake the dough in a 375 degree F oven for five minutes. Top with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and any pizza toppings you like. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, then slice and serve! I prefer mine with Alfredo sauce and baked chicken breast, pineapple chunks with Colby and mozzarella cheese. So quick and easy to do. You're gonna love it.

2. Mac/cheese pizza

1 box any type Mac/cheese
cook as said on box when done bet in 2 eggs

3. Homemade Pizza

Crust:

1. 2 cups Flour
2. 1 tsp Sugar
3. 1 tsp Salt
4. 1 tsp Active Dry Yeast (activate in 1/2 cup warm water)
5. 1 tbsp Olive oil (optional)

Toppings:

1. 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
2. 1 cup Cooked Chicken, diced
3. 1 cup Bell Peppers, sliced
4. Ketchup + Soy Sauce (as sauce)

Instructions:

Step 1: Make the Crust

1. Mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a bowl.
2. Add warm water, mix until dough forms.
3. Knead for 5-7 minutes.
4. Rest for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Prepare Toppings

1. Cook chicken until done.
2. Slice bell peppers.

Step 3: Assemble and Bake

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Roll out dough to desired thickness.
3. Spread ketchup + soy sauce mixture as sauce.
4. Add shredded mozzarella cheese.
5. Top with cooked chicken and bell peppers.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Tips:

1. Use a pizza stone for crispy crust.
2. Adjust sauce and toppings to taste.
3. Consider adding other toppings (e.g., onions, olives).

Variations:
Chicken Fajita Pizza: Add onions, jalapeños.
Mediterranean Pizza: Add olives, feta cheese.


4. Rhode's Dinner Rolls Pizza

I use Rhode's Dinner Rolls (in the freezer section). Just thaw them out and roll in flour. (You can let them rise, but I don't.) Flatten them out with a mini rolling pin or just using your hands.

Bake them @350 for about 10 minutes. I like them lighter and airier but some of the family likes them crispier. Just cook a tad longer. Some of them will puff up, just flatten them down again. Now you can use right away or even freeze some for later. I usually try to make ahead.

When ready to use, just set out a buffet of toppings.
Your favorite sauce (I use Mid's meat sauce. It's made right near where I live!), spaghetti, pizza, or alfredo...
You can also set out pepperoni, browned sausage, browned ground beef, mushrooms, onion, black & green olives, Green pepper, pepperoncini, and LOTS & LOTS of cheese.

Everyone can them build their own as they like it. Pop it in the microwave for 45 seconds or more. (mine has a mountain of cheese so I usually put it in for 2 minutes.)

What is also great is that you can make it ahead and wrap in foil and freeze. Take it to work and pop it in the microwave there for your lunch, just remove the foil. These are also great as breakfast pizzas.

You can eat with your hands, or with a fork and knife. I started making these for my son's birthday party 34 years ago. Still a family and friends favorite. Enjoy!!

I would try a small amount 1 to 1 ratio maybe try a tablespoon of each, mix and see how it tastes and adding a little more of one if you think its needed, before mixing any larger amounts. I've never tried the 2 together. If you try it, definitely let us know how it turns out!

No it just says to taste. If you make this for your family, how much do you mix together of each to make the sauce...

Hmm does t say

Never tried Ketchup and soy sauce, how much of each would you use.

Just a thought. I've never seen this myself.

Ty can I post another?

Is this store bought or did you have a recipe...

Sorry I don't see this as a pizza, it pasta...no crust..for the October Recipe Contest

Pizza Pasta Recipe
Ingredients:
Pizza Pasta
½ lb. ground beef
½ lb. ground sausage, mild, sweet, or hot Italian
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 small green bell pepper
½ cup beef broth
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce
32 oz. marinara sauce, high quality. See notes.
8 oz. pizza sauce
¾ lb. penne
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
2 ½ cups whole milk/low moisture mozzarella, shredded from a block
25 slices pepperoni
Seasonings
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon garlic salt
1 pinch red pepper flakes
Instructions
Prep Work
Measure ingredients out before beginning.
Begin heating a large pot of water to cook the pasta in. (Pro Tip: Generously salt the pasta water once a boil is reached. I use 3/4 tbsp. Kosher salt.)
Preheat oven to 375°
Make the Sauce/Pasta
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, sausage, and onions and cook for 4 minutes. Add the peppers and cook for 5 more minutes, or until the meat is browned and cooked through. Drain grease.
Reduce heat to medium. Add beef broth and use a silicone spatula to clean the bottom and sides of the skillet. Add the garlic, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and seasonings. Stir to combine and heat for 1 minute.
Add the marinara and pizza sauce and stir to combine. Let it simmer, partially covered, while you boil the pasta for 1 minute less than al dente according to package instructions.
Reduce the heat of the sauce to low and stir in the Parmesan cheese.
Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Transfer to a lightly greased 9 x 13-inch casserole dish if your skillet isn’t oven safe to 450 degrees.
Top with mozzarella and then with pepperoni.
Cover and bake for 10 minutes. (If covering with foil, spray one side with non-stick cooking spray to prevent it from sticking to the cheese while it bakes.)
Uncover, and bake for 15 minutes, or until your desired color is obtained on the top. If desired, broil at 450 for just about 1 minute to brown the top a little more. Watch it carefully/, don’t walk away.
Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese. Remove and serve! I have no pic

Waiting for my 🍕 picture to be approved.

Thank you. I'm making them this weekend for a family get together.

Crescent roll pizza

Crescent roll pizza is made with a can of crescent roll dough or a can of crescent roll dough that comes in sheet form. Roll out the crescent roll dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet and pinch the seams closed. Bake the dough in a 375 degree F oven for five minutes. Top with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and any pizza toppings you like. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, then slice and serve! I prefer mine with Alfredo sauce and baked chicken breast, pineapple chunks with Colby and mozzarella cheese. So quick and easy to do. You're gonna love it.

What kind of pizza do you make at home?....Pizza lovers everywhere are awaiting your recipe {yum}

This is pretty spicy, if you want it milder, use less hot sauce.

P.S.S. The recipe with asafoetida turned out fairly well.

A white cake with cherry pie filling. Use cherry frosting to pour on it. Might work?

I used a Walmart brand spice cake mix, ny spice cake mix will work

It sounds delicious! Can't wait to try it!

I suggest the following ground spice combination would work with a white cake -
1t (5ml) cinnamon
1/2t (2.5ml) ginger
1/2t (2.5ml) nutmeg
1/4t (1.2ml) cardamom
1/8t (0.5ml) clove

sounds simple. What spice is in the cake mix if I can't find similar? Cinnamon?

no eggs, just dry cake mix and apple pie filling

No eggs?

Sounds YUMMY

this isn't for contest/
 Take 1 can apple pie filling mashed the apples up

add 1 box of spice cake mix
mix together apple pie filling and dry cake mix
bake 350 for 35 minutes or till done
then I melted caramel frosting in microwave for 30 seconds poured over cake

it just melts in your mouth so good 

Amazon may also be a consideration using those parameters.
Glad I could help .... if indeed I did ... I hope I helped. ;-)

Now I know where to begin and what to look for... and what NOT to look for! Thank you!!!

I got mine off e-bay. It's hit and miss there. If the vendor is suspected to be from Iran their account is suspended. Furthermore that's where I was sold the safflower petals.
If you buy from e-bay I would recommend vendors from Spain, Greece or Kashmir, India.
Actually I believe the saffron I bought turned out to be Persian.

Oooooh, where did you purchase your saffron?? It's interesting you mentioned this because I noticed that the saffron I recently purchased locally was indiscernible to my tastebuds. Penzy's offers authentic, fresh seasonings from around the world and I was contemplating ordering from them online but if you have a tried and true distributor, I will be very receptive to reaching out to them! Thanks!

They taste and smell nothing like saffron. Of course anyone attempting to purchase saffron for the first time may not know the difference. Their yellow stems and orange petals may be similar to some strains of saffron. The Royal Saffron I finally got (from another vendor) is a deep red with that unmistakable rich taste and smell.
P.S. I may next adopt a recipe containing asafoetida instead of the onion and/or garlic.

I've not heard of safflowers before, but see that they are sometimes used as fake saffron.
Is the taste similar or just the appearance?

I once bought "saffron" online and received safflower petals. I found several recipes for these online and wound up creating "Safflower Petal Chicken".

..wait for it...

Just add the powder. The Jello dissolves in the cottage cheese

You don't make jello, you add the powder right from the box.

Don't you have to melt the Jell-O?

I have put in for your board token, the player that does those is having internet problems so be patient...

Mandarin Orange Salad

SUNSHINE I have sent you a p.m. sorry for the delay..

I was the only submission for the cottage cottage cheese recipe for the cutting board but I was not issued a token for the first prizef

I’ve made this many times. Very good! I added mini marshmallows too

I like orange the best! I sometimes add crushed pineapple for a little extra twist.

What flavor of Jello do you most enjoy?

I like pineapple with mine...actually any fruit is good

Serve a helping of cottage cheese and cover it with canned peaches! Alternatively, you could use sliced black olives instead of peaches.

I don't Roll in a Bowl

I googled it: looks like 14 oz or you can buy cabbage and cut it up.

How big is the bag of coleslaw you use?

Thanks 😊

I cook my meat separately (less grease that way) and my rice too if cooking for 20 minutes; if adding pre-cooked rice I mix it in afterward.

Then use the instant pot long enough to soften my fresh vegies - usually two minutes with all the spices added before hand.

How do you cook this in the Insta pot? Do you put it all in at the same time? And how long do you cook it?
