A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion Hobbies, Crafts and Creativity Our Favorite Recipes In the mood to cook? Foodie Bucket List

I don't cook much. But occassionally I'll get in the mood.

Recently I tried the joy of cooking recipe for biscuits. Wonderful! Even with powdered milk reconstituted. I've made some biscuits that were harder than rock so I really enjoyed these. Of course when something turns out well it doesn't last long.

The other thing I just picked up the last ingredient for is a black bean and roasted corn salad. This recipe is to die for. At least to me. It has the hispanic flare that I like. In fact I like it so much that I planted cilantro in the garden this year just to support this one recipe.

What recipes are on your "Foodie Bucket List?"

I'm looking for a recipe that will turn canned chicken breast into real food.
And with the pear trees outside I'm also looking for recipes that call for pears canned or fresh.

I cook with canned chicken all the time, just be sure to drain as much "juice" off as you can... I've used it in enchilada's, casserole's, you name it...

I love cheddar biscuits, Bisquick makes it a load easier than doing it from scratch though...

Whenever I can add it I love using black beans, such a nice flavor and it's got more fiber in it than just about any other bean...

One of my favorite things to eat is my Teriyaki Chicken; the recipe takes hours to render down to the right consistency that I go for; not exactly the worlds healthiest thing once you look at how much sugar ends up in it though lol...

I always keep canned chicken in the pantry...good for a quick chicken salad sandwich. And like James said, fast, easy enchiladas.


I make these a lot. Yum, with garlic butter melted on top.

For biscuits...nothing like Pillbury Frozen biscuits...taste better than anything I could ever make.

I have never seen canned chicken...what a great idea. You'd never find anything like that here.

Interesting. I'll try draining the chicken. the first time I tried it I was not happy. I was thinking about grilling it just a bit to give it the grill marks, slightly charred flavor. I like the idea of using it for chicken salad. What do you put in yours?

Sunny did you looked in the canned tuna area of the store? that's where it usually is, Maple Leaf has canned chicken at walmarts,, maybe they do there,, most cans are the size of tuna cans,,

They have canned full chickens (yuck) and canned shredded chicken meat; would highly advise the second over the gelatinous blob that is the first...

oh yeah chicken in a can san it on chopped lol

yum yum don't that look good lol

Oh, God...this is wrong in so many ways.....

that is Gross, I just wanted Sunny to know they are in the size of a tuna can, I didn't want her to get grossed out by a picture like that, euwwwwwwww..

I will be 60 years old here shortly, and I have never seen a whole chicken in a can...

when whomever said canned chicken, I assumed they meant the pieces cut up in a tuna can like what Diane said...

I've never seen the small canned anywhere...and please tell me that pic of the whole chicken was just a joke.

nope not a joke,, they do sell those,,

I see both in the store quite common... I like the shredded small cans of chicken; I see them everywhere.
