      You do the same premise with chopping boards. A damp towel of some sort tea towel preferably and put the board on top and it wont move about at all depending on your counter and your board you can usually just wet one side of the board and create a sort of vaccum like seal.

      Crumple the parchment paper into a ball & slightly wet it. When you open it back up, it's very pliable & will lay down better on your trays or containers.

    Just a little tip for the next time you make pumpkin rolls, try using a very thin tea towel if possible & spray it with some water until it's damp before covering it with powdered sugar & rolling the cake. The moisture will keep your cake roll from cracking & getting stiff & it will peel off just like the parchment paper did. This way when you unroll it to fill it the cake roll will be nice & moist & won't crack. This will allow you to let them sit for much longer if you get caught up.

    Becky, my dad was an army mess sergeant when I was growing up.Seeing you half cook that chicken brought up childhood memories of the drill Sargent voice. He wouldn't interfere with any food making so long as we followed sanitation/cross contamination rules. He was adamant about poultry cooking. He never would have allowed me to half cook it and refrigerate it to finish cooking later. Doing so would enable bacterial growth in the poultry. You may want to google the effects of doing so.

We used to whip the frosting while the cake part was baking, then let the baked rolls cool a while (don't put the frosting on while hot, it melts!). Once cool, unroll and add frosting and nuts if desired! Also, a larger jelly roll pan makes a thinner cake and rolls to a tighter spiral! 🤗

    Becky, I used to add tarragon along with basil and Italian seasoning. It is a strong herb but gives a depth of taste I never made sauce without it. Then when I went to resupply, none of the stores I went to carried any longer. I tried several other stores and bulk goods places that seemed to no longer carry it but mentioned several other people had asked for it but they'd tell the order manager. After much frustration I went to the customer service of the grocery store I usually went to. After several tries I finally managed to ask about it to the grocery manager who ordered the products. He told me that they found that there were not a high enough turnover for this spice product and they discontinued carrying it. I was so disappointed he told me that unless a product moved quicker, their accounting department new manager under the new owners of the chain (1 major grocery chain had bought the other major chain) requested that they reduce and discontinue purchasing all products that don't have a high traffic. He suggested i check with several other stores and said I should check and maybe someone else may carry it. After several years, I still haven't managed to buy it. I found that Amazon carries it but it is quite expensive..

    I love whole roasted garlic!! I typically slice off the top of the whole head of garlic so each clove is exposed. I drizzle a tiny bit of EVOO then I roast the whole head. When it’s done, you can literally squeeze each soft, sweet clove out easily and the flavor is delightful. Any time I roast meat, I add a top sliced head to my roasting pan. You can spread the soft cloves into toasted bread or to eat with bites of the roasted meat. Game changer. So sweet & yummy!

    Btw, sourdough bread is much better for your digestive system than commercial yeast which is not good for you. Einkorn flour is the best as it is an ancient wheat without all the unhealthy
    chemicals. You can avoid constant feeding of sourdough by keeping a small amount stir flour well with water then top with flour and do not stir in the sourdough start - it will feed off of dry flour for as long time depending on how much dry flour you put onto of the mixed wet flour.

It puts the chicken at the temp range of 40-140F for a prolonged period and that is the perfect temp for bacteria to grow. It might not happen, but it also might and its just not worth the risk.

    Hey Becky, you mentioned making broth (bone broth)….if you can find packaged organic chicken drumsticks they make FABULOUS bone broth with SO much gelatin in it! Less expensive than whole organic chickens and you can easily slide that usable meat off to use in another recipe then just keep cooking those bones over and over in your slow cooker. And , of course, just a tiny bit of cider vinegar in the cooking water to draw out the minerals in those bones. After cooking them several times, the bones will almost be as soft as chalk and at that point puree them, with a bit of liquid, in your Vitamix, pour the smooth liquid in ice trays, and freeze them as treats for your doggies (or add the melted cubes to their dry food). Carry on my friend! 😄

    I love butternut squash and purchased some ravioli, but hadn't made them yet because my husband and teenagers all pulled faces everytime I mentioned it. My husband graciously eats anything and we make the kids do the same (albeit with less grace), but squash is the one vegetable that causes a ruckus, so I should have known better. Your video from the conference fortuitously uploaded and inspiration struck. I waited a few days for them to forget I had ever mentioned the nefarious "s" word (it may actually have even just been one day...they're like goldfish) and simply wrote "ravioli" on the following week's dinner menu. I found a butternut squash ravioli with brown butter and sage recipe online and made it... Guess what they gobbled up and keep asking for?!!!! The child in me wanted to stick out my tongue and say "I told you so", but the mom and wife in me knew to keep that particular win to myself and not make a production out of it. Also, I made roasted asparagus on the side and boy was it good with some of that sauce 🤤
