I even just use a fork rather than an official board. It takes time, but it's not really hard. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-serve-cooking-advice-needed#post-1154784 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 10:25:37 +0000 MaisyMay 1154784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: Not crock pot, just boil for less than 10 minutes.<br /> @Mrs. Twine: I buy it premade and then add my own sauce and additions. I would like to try making my own pasta but I am intimidated by it and don't have an appliance to help me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-serve-cooking-advice-needed#post-1154303 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 08:07:24 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1154303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: Do you make your own gnocchi? I love it, but it is too intensive to do very often. I also have a recipe for "drop" style gnocchi, which is easier, but I still don't do it much because you have to break out the pastry bags and all that. Your idea sounds yummy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-serve-cooking-advice-needed#post-1154276 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 07:58:27 +0000 LuLu Mom 1154276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: I can honestly say I've never had gnocchi, but it it's easy in the crockpot go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-serve-cooking-advice-needed#post-1153656 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 17:34:20 +0000 mrsmate 1153656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: I love gnocchi but I think of it as cold weather food! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-serve-cooking-advice-needed#post-1153614 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 17:01:51 +0000 looch 1153614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: sounds good, but I don't like gnocchi or sausage, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-serve-cooking-advice-needed#post-1153503 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 15:51:46 +0000 psw27 1153503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>pasta is always a good choice!!

Garlic bread and mixed veggies on the side? That should be pretty easy. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-serve-cooking-advice-needed#post-1152783 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 11:40:17 +0000 shinymama 1152783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved this crockpot pulled pork taquitos recipe, but if you want to avoid the oven, just serve them regular taco style.

Easy and good for a warm day!

The days before the carnival I am making a ton of cookies and cupcakes, so I'm not going to want to cook much Saturday. And money is way too tight for us to take all 5 of us and LO out to eat. (they treat when we eat out visiting them, we pick up the tab when we eat out when they visit us).</p> <p>Any suggestions on what to have for dinner? Weather is supposed to be around 83, so as much as I'd love to use our crockpot, it's going to be pretty warm in our apartment already. </p>
