Introduce Yourself! Welcome to MomsMenu!

[barbszy]

Hi Stephanie and welcome! I hope you find lots of recipes and tips here that you can use. Feel free to share your favorites with us! :)

Here's my best "toddler feeding" tip. Feed them what you eat, right from the start. They want your food anyway! LOL! I might dial down the spice a little, or let them leave off the sauce, but generally my kids have always eaten the same food as my husband and me. Now they are 15, 11 and 5, and very good (and adventurous!) eaters. I think my husband is pickier than the kids.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

I agree with Barb. Also, you cold start a thread to ask others for their ideas on creative ways to feed a toddler. If you need help, just ask.

[Tracy Russell]

Hello I just joined this evening and it has taken me several trys to get logged in but thats ok I'm here now!

I'm a stay at home Mom to 3 kids five and under. I also have a home candle business I run locally and online. I joined here mainly to pick up some good time saving recipes. I picked up a good tip for time management and that is crockpot recipes. I think I could pick up some easy recipes too. I do't know that my husband will want something from the crockpot every night?

Anyway, glad to be here.

[barbszy]

Hi Tracy and welcome! I think you will find a lot of time-saving recipes on this site. :) Feel free to post your favorites as well!

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Tracy, welcome to MM! I can't wit to share some recipes with you. I live in an RV while I am away at school. It gets pretty hot during the spring and summer months, especially here in the desert. So, I cook a good many meals in the crockpot (http://www.momsmenu.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=22) as it doesn't heat up the place, it is easy, and it is ready when I come home. Jump in and make yourself at home.

[Pumpkin Blossom]

Hello, my name is Barb (another one!) and I'm a SAHM of three: 10yr. old, 8 going on 9yr. old daughters and one 4 going on 5yr. old son. Of course both their birthdays are in May! May 22nd and May 23rd to be precise. I'm very glad that I "invested" in some cake decorating courses! I hope to add to my collection of cake recipes, I'm just starting to dabble in fondant now and would appreciate hints, help or recipes on fondant.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Barb, welcome to MM! Glad to have you aboard. I look forward to sharing ideas with you. I suggest that you go here (http://www.momsmenu.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=40)and post a thread and ask others this question about fondant. I am sure we could post it in the newsletter.

[barbszy]

Hi Barb! http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/4615/welcome6ld.gif Welcome to Moms Menu!

I'm Barb, and also a SAHM with 3 kids. Mine are ages 15, 11 and 4. I enjoy cake decorating as well but never had the chance to take a class yet. Bet it would be a lot of fun! I've never tried using fondant.

Post pictures if you can of those birthday cakes you'll be making soon! I love to see the creative cakes others make.

[cat lover]

Welcome to MomsMenu Pumpkin Blossom! Glad you dropped in and I look forward to sharing recipes and food talk with you!

If you go to this link you can post your ISO recipe request for the fondant and someone may have just what you are looking for.

Hi all! I wanted to introduce myself. I am a wife of 13 years with 3 children ages 6 (almost), 4, and 2! We live now in Maine and have tried to get here for several years. Now, here we are! We are so happy to be living our dream! My husband is currently in the Navy, but he is going to be getting out in about a year and he'll look for a job right around here. I have just become a website owner in the past few months. It has been a great learning experience and quite a thrill!

Hi , I just dropped in from Family Corner-and decided to sign in here also. I'm origionally from Maine and moved here to Tn 5 years ago. We love it here it's just so peaceful. The only drawback is the humidity in late summer.We were empty nesters but, now I'm a stay at home granma. Gd just moved in with us so her mom can go back in the service. Gd is a very special person and a joy to be around. We never have a dull moment she is just so funny. We have 13 dogs and 3 cats and are members of the Humane Asso. here in the county. Dh has just retired and I'm staying at home with granddaughter but, can't work outside anyway because of back and leg problems.

Barb, oh no, I wouldn't dare lump a true southerner with a darn Yankee. lol That's why I was agreeing with her name having Howdy in it as a Yankee wouldn't have picked that. lol

[Bilby]

Hello newbies, I can honestly say that countries far and wide are welcome here :)
I'm in the middle of winter here in Australia, I have 2 bottomless pits for food called, my boys LOL, gee can they put that food away!
I'm sure I'll see you around here on the boards, quite a bit to see.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Kathy, you have some of those too? My DS is almost 28 and he can still out eat anyone. When he comes to visit, we can't keep food in the house. lol

[Bilby]

You know DeBora my bro is 36 and when he comes to visit our place, not often now, but the first place he heads for is the pantry or walks in, sits down and says wha'ts to eat! He has 4 kids in tow and a wife usually and the pantry is empty by the time they goes, a whirlwind! He says it's because we have more interesting food than him

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Kathy, that is funny. Some people just have a higher metabolism than others. Having great food is always a plus.

Hi, I am Allison from Maine. I have a 13 y.o. DD who is vegetarian and I don't eat ground meat of any kind. I have another 16 y.o. DD who does not eat seafood. We eat LOTS of chicken, so I am always on the lookout for new ways to prepare it. DS and DH will eat any food I place in front of them! LOL! I made catlover's broccoli cheese soup last night and it was YUMMY!

Hi Allison! Welcome to MomsMenu. I think you can't go too wrong with Cat lover's recipes. She finds the BEST ones! :D

I have 3 children ages 15, 11 and 5. Fortunately they are an appreciative audience for just about anything I cook (though the little guy doesn't like things that are too spicy. Give him time....)

Welcome to MM! I look forward to sharing recipe ideas with you. I am sure with your family's eating habits, you have a lot of ideas to share with us!

[cat lover]

alipicard69, so glad you found yor way over here so others can get to know you! Glad you enjoyed the soup last night. You might want to go over to www.momsmenu.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&f=51 and check out some of the vegetarian recipes there. Are your children vegetarian or vegan?

[alipicard69]

It is only my 13 y.o. DD who is vegetarian. My other two and DH think she is nuts and feel that meat is part of the circle of life. I will support her as best I can. I have been very flexible in meal preparation and try to accomodate. When all else fails, there is a package of Boca Burgers in the freezer!

[DeBora4BobbyL]

My DD went through the same phase when she was about that age. I supported her then too. She eventually took a tour of a place and discovered that they don't torture animals when they are butchered and then she decided to eat meat. I think that was her reason to become a vegetarian. Some do it because it is the fad and others do it because it is healthy.

[alipicard69]

Yes my DD feels bad for the animals and that they are used to feed us. She has now turned many of her friends against meat as well!

[DeBora4BobbyL]

alipicard, your DD must be a natural leader and good with people to be able to convince her friends to change their eating habits! Neat.

Hi. I really enjoy forums like this. Everyone shares their kitchen experiences and recipes and it's just fun. I look forward to learning much and hopefully being able to share at least a little of my somewhat limited knowledge about the fine art of cooking. Winter's coming (lately it's been here) ... let the soups begin!!

Married for 24 years, two step-kids 31 and 33, 1 step gd age 14, one Baxter Black (age unknown ... a black Lab-Golden cross mid-life adoptee) and Molly, age 4, a militarily orphaned Golden. (less than six months til her Mom and Dad return :) ) My job is in the oilfield, 80 mile rt to work ... as sr. admin, HR, Northern Rockies software "champion", end-user support, and systems mgr. My life is my extended family, cooking for fun, reading, some TV, a little wine, a little, beer, and other various and sundry activities that may entertain me at any given time.

I'm mostly a week-end boardie.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Kell, welcome to MM! My DH works for an oil company. He worked in the oilfield until 7 years ago when he was transferred to a gas plant.

I LOVE soups, especially during hot weather.

I have 2 grown children and 2 Gks. But, my babies are my 2 boys (chihuahuas). I look forward to getting to know you better in the future. I am enjoying your recipes too!

Looking forward to seeing you both online!

I am not entirely new to Moms Menu but have been away for a bit and now want to come back and see all the good stuff that's been going on! I used to be a sahm, but now I/m working full time and the change in our eating lives has changed dramatically - and not for the better!

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Ellen, it is good to have you back. I noticed your question to Chef Mark!

Hi Everyone,
I just found out about this site yesterday! I live in Toronto and I have been married for 5 years. We have a 15 month old son and he keeps us busy. Cooking is my passion - anything and everything - and I come from a long line of passionate cooks. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on which day you ask me, I am not in the catering business. I have thought about it though!:)
Looking forward to getting to know all of you.
Best,
Tornye.

[lorrij7]

Lorrie and BQ123, welcome to MM! I too have a passion for cooking. I have been cooking or trying to since I was 2 years old, according to my parents. For some people, cooking is a chore and others it's a passion. Whichever category you fall into, MM has something for you. I hope to be sharing ideas with you soon.

[Audrey]

Hi Tornye and Lorrie...I'm Audrey. I'm from Santa Barbara. Nice to meet both of you.

[Audrey]

Sunny,

Welcome to the group. We try new recipes all of the time. I always need a recipe to get me started. From there I'll add and subract but I have to have that recipe in front of me. My daughters love looking through my cookbooks to see what we should try.

[midnightmama214]

I have a thrift tip. I buy the 5lb box of bacon ends and use them in recipes that call for bacon. Way cheaper than bacon slices. Here is a recipe I have used Egg Beaters in.

Scrambled Denvers (serves 2)

1 1/2 cup egg beaters
2 tbsp water
Bacon ends chopped fine(equal to 4 slices)
1 stick celery sliced fine
1/4 onion diced
1 lg cooked potato with skin sliced (use micro)
opp (1 finely sliced carrot, or 1/3 cup sliced cauliflower or broccoli

1. Par fry bacon, add onion, celery and vegetable. Fry till onion is done. Add potato and fry till browned.
2. Whip egg beaters with water and pour over mixture in pan. Continue frying while stirring till egg is cooked. Serve with sliced tomato.

[midnightmama214]

Hello to all the folks who were here both before and after me:) It seems I've been busy, first planting, then replanting, then replanting again. This fall I'm gonna have rabit stew cause that's all that is growing in my gardin. I have a bunny who visits my gardin on a regular basis, she has a baby I call "Toot" cause he was raised on my bean plants. Together with his mommy they have eaten 3 plantings of beans, plus peas, beets, kolrabi, and lettuce,so does anyone have a good recipe for rabit stew?
I have just come back from a home town reunion. I had a ball, saw people I had not seem in 45 years. When we last met we were all going out into the working world and now we are all retiring from it. We all had careers,and raised families in between, yet it was like meeting them again after summer holidays, they were all the same people maybe a little changed on the outside, but still the same inside. It was wonderful|:) I hope all of you get to experience this joy, love to you all :)

[cat lover]

Hi midnightmama214 and welcome back! Those rabbits can be a horror to a garden. The only thing I know that works is either a dog or poultry wire that has the bottom 1 foot extra covered that even the rabbits can't get through!

[Cooked]

Hi! "Cooked" explains a lot about me. I love to experiment with food and I am always tired! I seem to be always busy with either my dh of 26yrs or my 3 kids and the others who tend to migrate to us. We have expanding walls! I am a crafter, baker, mom, taxi, cook, and a WAHM. I look forward to meeting all of you!

[cat lover]

[Cooked]

Hi Barbzy, nice to see you too! Thanks for the welcome!

[Pretajouer]

Hello!
All my friends call me Jos. I live in Las Vegas, NV, and work in the gambling business.
My hubby and I have been married for 30 years, and we have one great son.
I have many hobbies beside hanging out with my laptop. I love to read, crochet and beads. Beading is very relaxing to me, and I make great necklaces, bracelets and earrings.
Recently, I learned how to knit. I've been making beautiful scarves. They are good for the winter (keep you warm), and it's a nice project for beginners.
I very seldom cook, since most restaurant here are very inexpensive. But, at time, on my days off, I like to make something myself. Just can't do it without a recipe... This is why I hang out a lot at MM. Super place to be.
My next favorite place is FC.
Finally decided to join. Tired of being the guest.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Pretajouer, welcome to MM. I hope you have some terrific recipes to share! We love new recipes and cooking ideas here. Jump in and make yourself at home. You will find that there are plenty of friendly people here.

[midnightmama214]

Hello to all newbies , great to have you here ,I just love to see all the new ideas, I hail from Winnipeg, so It Is nice to hear from folks who live in different places with different customs , My cooking can be much wider in range that way, Thank you all. :)

[Pretajouer]

Thanks for such a great welcome.
Very nice to meet you.
Hope we'll have the chance to chat again.
