One of my hobbies is home brewing cider, so I have more than I could possibly drink.

I’d like some suggestions on what I could make with it. Bonus points for out of the box suggestions and veggie-based ideas, too.

So a new roommate arrived at my place yesterday and I wanna make him dinner to welcome him/show that I’m a competent adult somehow. The main ingredients that I have right now that I want to use up are about four potatoes and some canned salmon. I have milk, a variety of spices, a bag of frozen veggies, rice, and other basic staples like flour/pasta/etc. there’s a grocery store nearby my place so if I need to, I can go get some extra stuff, but I don’t want to make it into a huge trip. What are some relatively straightforward but yummy recipes I can make with what I have? (If there’s a specific spice/ingredient suggestion, I can also check to see if I have it)

What are your favorite pastas

My friend groups annual Friendsgiving historically has done a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. However, this year, we are doing it the day after Thanksgiving, and have decided to do a “appetizer” only type of Friendsgiving where everyone brings an appetizer. However, as the host, I would like my appetizer to be a little more filling with some sort of protein.

Any good recommendations? I’m thinking of jalapeno poppers and loaded potato wedges.

Edit: lots of great suggestions. Thanks everyone!

My husband and I both bought milk so now we have a lot. What can I make with it. Right now I’m thinking milk bread and rice pudding. What else can I make? Its full fat

I can only eat so much chicken noodle / chicken and rice soup

We went to an oyster roast and a lot of the oysters were basically raw, but just a little cooked. So we shucked them and put them in a pot over a sterno can to heat them which did nothing. So I have at least a quart or two of partially cooked oysters in their broth and a little butter. What should I make with them?

I’m going to use some of them for a dish my mom makes that’s oysters, cheddar, jalapeños and baked for a few mins and served with crackers but I’ve still got a ton left.

The default would be oyster stew if I can’t figure out something else, if you have a favorite recipe, share it please.

I love spicy and am willing to try new things, what ideas do you have?

Trying to find something to cook for dinner but would like to make something a bit different. I have:

Milk, Eggs, Pasta, Ground beef, Bell peppers, Cheese, Rice, Onions, Garlic, Mariana sauce, A few soft tortillas, Lots of spices, Frozen broccoli, Frozen peas, Breadcrumbs, Carrots, Celery,

If you have any creative ideas I would love to hear them! Thank you 😊

Edit: sorry if formatting is a bit off

I have some fresh pumpkin purée with heavy whipping cream mixed in. Don’t know the exact ratio, maybe around 70:30 pumpkin:cream. I will already be making soup but I want some kind of dessert too. Any ideas?

These bananas are just ripe! I was blessed w a bunch of them but need ideas to use them up quickly 🙏🏼 they are perfectly ripe today but I’ll need to use them soon in the upcoming days unless I freeze most of them.

I’ve already got these to make on my radar

• banana bread

-banana pancakes -chocolate dipped banana PB snacker rounds

But would love more ideas.

Any recs? 🫣 thanks in advance

Hi everyone,

I have a can of cannellini beans and I'm looking for some creative and tasty recipes to use them in. What are your favorite dishes to make with cannellini beans? Any tips or unique ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Made refried beans at work for the nacho bar, no one wanted them, boss told me to take them home. If it matters they're black beans.

What should I make with three quarters of a bag of spinach, milk, potatoes, shredded cheese, eggs, sour cream, chicken broth all opened in my fridge. I do have the ability to run to the store to buy additional ingredients but I would love any ideas to use these items up before they go bad!! I also have a spice cabinet with basic staples and butter.

My partner and I will be hosting dinner for two family members in a couple days. I asked our guests to pick the cuisine, and they chose Italian. I want to do it up with a nice 3 or 4 course meal and a main course that shows well.

My first hurdle is the dietary restrictions between the four of us (see list below). My second hurdle is that I want it to be reasonably authentic, but I'm from the Midwest US and I don't truly know what authentic Italian means. Apparently chicken is not to be served with pasta? 🤔

I'm a pretty solid intermediate level cook with a gas stove and oven, and I prefer to cook from scratch when I can. My cookware is mostly stainless steel and glass, no stoneware. I also have a large steamer basket, an electric griddle, a rice cooker, and an electric air fryer with a grill insert.

My partner's contribution will be his homemade olive oil dough, which I'm thinking of having him make into a foccasia or a dipping bread for one of the courses. Other ideas are welcome.

Restrictions:

• No red meat. Fish, chicken, or vegetarian proteins are preferred.
• No shellfish or lobster because I have no experience with them.
• No goat cheese. Any cow's milk cheese is good though, and we have access to an extensive selection.
• No onion (or very sparing).
• Extremely limited wine options due to sulfite allergy. So the whole "perfect wine pairing" thing is basically off the table.

Available ingredients that I think are relevant:

• Olive oil dough
• Thin spaghetti noodles
• Russet potatoes
• Flour (all-purpose and durum/semolina)
• Sugar (white and brown)
• Eggs
• Tilapia filets, frozen
• Shrimp, frozen, precooked, peeled, tail on
• Turkey pepperoni slices
• Spinach, frozen, chopped
• Strained tomatoes
• Tomato paste
• Fresh garlic
• Raisins (brown)
• Dried spices (a cabinet full, including oregano, basil, etc)
• Extra virgin olive oil (plain and lemon flavored)
• Cream cheese
• Sweetened condensed milk
• Whole milk
• Salted butter
• White table wine
• Vinegar (white and apple cider)

I can pick up other ingredients from the store, especially fresh produce or cheese which I'm low on at the moment, or maybe a chicken to roast.

What to make with a massive amount of crab ragoon dip, it's on the sweeter side cause of the Thai Chile sauce in it. Making proper ragoons need not apply.

Coworker gave me a Spaghetti Squash. I’ve never had it but my boyfriend has and loves it. We are trying to be dairy/gluten free and only eat meats that have no preservatives, curing agents, etc. Any ideas?

Yesterday was a pretty lackluster halloween, only 2 kids came to trick or treat,leaving me with way too much left , I have thought of putting them in drinks and such but there is just too many..

A friend gifted these two squash, I’ve never cooked with them before, looking for ideas. I placed the chocolate bar for scale, to help with suggestions!

Say someone was to procure 50 lbs of carrots, what can you do with them? I feel like I've tried everything.

I usually make cheese sauce, but I don't have cheese right now. I have butter, heavy cream, milk, mayonnaise, garlic, Oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, garlic, onion, ginger, and plenty of spices and more stuff I can't think of right now. Basically, I have anything but cheese

Edit: Thanks for the recipes, everyone. I decided on a recipe for today, but I'm keeping all of these for future use, so keep them coming!
