you will need : this is my own version....it doesn tsp include boiled parsnips, which are often used., chicken breasts,cooked, diced, baking potatoes, cooked,diced, carrots,boiled,diced, diced pickles, frozen peas, ex large eggs, boiled,diced, mustard, salt and pepper to taste, mayonnaise, extra ingredients for boiling chicken, if you want to make a stock, use the rib-in type of chicken breast...the ones with the rib bone attached. the bones impart a ton of flavor to the stock.you can then just remove the breast meat to use in the salad. if you don tsp want to make any stock, just use regular chicken breast. ), onion, celery stalks, carrots, parsnip (optional), use parsley , olives, reserved boiled vegetables, egg etc., important : if you would like to decorate your salad, remember to reserve some vegetables,egg,etc., boil potatoes in their skins in salted water till fork tender ., boil eggs till hard. set aside. place chicken breasts in a pot with water(sort of like making a soup). water doesn tsp have to be exact but you should have plenty(maybe 6-8 cups). place about 2-3 carrots, a stalk or two of celery and 1 onion. add some salt ( about 1 tbsp kosher salt). bring to boil and then simmer till carrots are tender and chicken is cooked. remove chicken and carrots to use for the potato salad. you can reserve the stock for a soup or freeze in small containers to use later in pan sauces, etc., dice chicken , potatoes, carrots(parsnip too, if you are using), and eggs. dice pickles and squeeze them a bit to remove some of their juice(this helps so that your salad doesn tsp become too watery). place frozen peas in a colander.place under running warm water to defrost them . drain completely and add to the rest of the diced ingredients., add mustard and pepper and 1 cup mayo., mix till combined taste for seasoning ., add more mayo to the mixture until it is tuna salad-like(for a lack of a better term) . you might need the full 2 cups. this depends on preference...use less if you don tsp want it too creamy or use more if you like it creamier. place in a nice serving dish and spread a thin layer of mayo...decorate with reserved vegetables(egg, carrots, peas, pickles, parsley, olives, chopped eggs...). since i didn tsp have too much time to decorate, wasn tsp planning on posting, and forgot to reserve some vegetables, i kept it rather simple.

plain flour, sugar (white ), baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon (add to your own taste, i personally add closer to a full tbsp), salt (optional), milk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla, butter, cinnamon, raisins (other dried fruit), nuts , of choice

marinara sauce or your favorite spaghetti sauce, garbanzo beans, drained, rinsed, more of cooked chicken , beef, turkey or any leftover meat you have available in the fridge. *you can add 2 cups of frozen meatballs after the soup comes up to a boil., chopped celery cut into large chunks (1 inch), onion cut into large chunks, dry pasta of your choice. (macaroni noodles , broken pieces of spaghetti, small round noodles, flat noodles, etc.), oregano, tb chopped, dried or dehydrated garlic, boiled water, i like to add whole leaf spinach to the soup. i use 1/2 cup of frozen spinach or a big handful of fresh spinach right before serving., this soup is great served with hot crusty rolls or breadsticks. you can sprinkle the top with either freshly shredded or dried parmesan cheese. you can also top with croutons. you can take any leftover pizza, heat it up and cut small pieces of this to add to the top of the soup before serving. its a good way to use up leftovers

here are the basics of making an excellent cheese fondue , the proper way (or at least the lindysez way)., use good cheese , i use half emmental swiss and gruyere, grate them up and toss them with some salt and a good amount of pepper. let them sit out at room temp so they melt better . cut your bread (good french bread, but not sourdough) into bite sized pieces making sure to have crust on each piece. let those sit out for a while too so they aren tsp too soft., cheese that you use , you are going to use 1 3/4 cups of a dry white wine, such as a fume blanc, a california sauv blanc (don tsp use a new zealand 1 as most are too grassy) or a pouilly-fume. when you are ready to make the fondue, rub the pot with a clove of garlic (we like garlic, so we leave the clove in, but you don tsp need to); then place over a medium heat and add the wine. when the wine comes to a simmer, start slowly adding the cheese, sprinkling in a handful at a time, allowing each addition to melt (my dad said you always have to stir in the same direction, in a figure 8 motion, it works. if you stir in a circle you will end up with a big glop of cheese in the middle of a pot of wine, the figure 8 is key); keep adding until you have a nice thick sauce, then add a splash of kirsch and a pinch of nutmeg. put over a burner to keep it bubbling, and stir often when you dip your bread., a lb of cheese is enough for 4 people; or more if you are serving other things. and the amounts are guesstimates. i almost always grate too much cheese, so only add as much as you need to get the right consistency ; when you dip a piece of bread into the fondue, you want a nice coating of cheese and for the bread to absorb the wine. that s what it s all about, cheese, wine and bread. so use the best you can of each ingredient. and any left over cheese makes for a mighty good ham and cheese omelet.

butter, granulated sugar, egg, extract (your flavor choice ), flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, chocolate sauce, cream together the butter and sugar. add egg and extract of your choice. sift together flour, baking powder, cocoa and salt. add to the creamed mixture, slowly. refrigerate for 30 minutes. roll dough into a rectangle and use to line a 24 cm tart pan. bake in a preheated 350f degree oven for 25 minutes. let cool completely. drizzle enough chocolate sauce over the surface to cover all, set aside, vanilla cheesecake, cream cheese, sugar, eggs, vanilla, caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, walnuts, chopped

lukewarm water (90of to 100of), dry yeast or two 0.6-oz packages fresh yeast, crumbled, all purpose flour (i use king arthur bread flour), extra-virgin olive oil, coarse sea salt, note: i have found that adding anywhere from 1-2 tsp. of salt (table salt works just fine) to the flour while making the dough works as good or better than the coarse salt on top. it depends on your taste. i would suggest adding 1 tsp. of salt to the flour and maybe lightly adding the coarse salt before baking. or forgo the coarse salt altogether and add 1.5 tsp of salt to the flour for the dough. bread does needs salt to have a good taste., note 2: drizzle with olive oil before baking., note 3: you can knead with a little olive oil to keep from adding more flour and prevent dryness., add herbs of your choice and/or a grated favorite cheese. i have used rosemary, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, cracked black pepper, asiago, and parmesan in various combinations and it all worked out well.
