How much pub mix, party mix, snack mix per person?
Comments (6)Oh my, i was thinking a few dozen in and out of the home and garden. : ) I've hosted a couple weddings for friends on my farm and did simple, as you are thinking... One was October but unseasonably warm, Hot!. I stuck with the veggie plan but had to put ice in baggies under the platters and dip stuff. (the meal and party moved on to an event place later). I hid the ice under fabric. I also was making spring rolls for every event at the time and that took way too much time the morning of. But great for the wedding party 'girls' prepping in the second floor of the barn. Healthy and fresh and the brides favorite so i made them for her and the rest went out on the table. I'm terrible with recipes because i want to fuss and take a bit from this and that and take out the sugars... And use what i have that is available without too much shopping. If i needed to make one today?...in the freezer i have pecans, dates, a big bag of raw shredded coconut and a big hunk of ginger in the fridge. And a bag of chick peas...and some wasabi in powder form. I made candied ginger last month and it was amazing but can be bought. So using a few recipe ideas, some can be combined. Like this list, i'll give the link... I have some puffed rice cereal from the health food store. Some pepitas, (hulless pumpkin seed), and if i toast the coconut, whizz some of it to coat the chopped dates...toss with roasted chick peas, (not the sweet recipe but the savory one) ...toss what seems good and back in the oven on low 200 heat for an hour... You may just invent your own mix by tasting and adding a bit more spice, etc. (a bit of warmed coconut oil, just a couple tbsp, is amazing flavor that helps give good toasted flavor and give some binder glue for any powdered spices). Of course make a mix you are comfortable with that is not a stressful new one, but my crowd likes my 'adventures', lol. -and, yeah, my amount per person is way high for a big event. And probably not much help with the mixes...but if you have time to experiment and have fun in the process...big win in the appreciation game. -if any oils or butters are in your mix, you have 4-5 days in fridge, any longer do freeze for freshness...

Comments (18)That's right, Tina, she did write an acclaimed cookbook! She was also a food and restaurant critic for a time, writing for some major publications. Love drooling over her recipes and reading the cooking tips. There's always a yummy photo. Food Gawker is a scrumptious foody site, with luscious photos of their recipes. There's another site that's very similar, but the name escapes me right now. Here is a link that might be useful: Food Gawker...See MoreRECIPE: Best Chicken I've Ever Tasted
Comments (6)Cookie8: I don't think this one would work the same way if you cook it on the grill, but hey -- you won't know unless you actually try it. I would use the marinade as a basting sauce. The only catch might be that the cranberries would get lost while turning the chicken. It will undoubtedly have a different taste too, so I do recommend cooking it by the recipe (stove-top) first, so you get that taste to compare. Do let us know how it turns out, ok? Geri: I'm so glad it sounds good to you, and I hope you will let us know if you try it....See MoreBest potting mix recipe for growing in Earthbox
Comments (9)I have 30 Earth Boxes. It took me many years of experimenting to get the mix right. I started out with potting mixes that contained coir, forest products. compost and soil mix. I was not successful until I found a mix that fit the Earth Box mfg profile which included the heavy percentage of peat content. You can mix your own and it will work but for me with 30 boxes, too much work was involved. Our success came from using the Lambert Potting Mix which is an all organic product and comes in 2 cubic ft bags. You can experiment like I did to see what works but its very disappointing to have to discard expensive potting mix that doesn't work. We lived close to the inventor of the Earth box who had his research center in Ellenton Florida. He passed away in 2018, but personally knowing this man, I can see no reason he would want to give advice that would provide failure for people using his Earth Boxes....See More
