    Bought an Omnia Oven Now what?

    Just wondering if there is anything I need to know about converting regular recipes for use in the Omnia.  Like are the cooking times comparable?

    cheap land?

    Before buying any property, check zoning laws. We had this gentleman buy some land near to us and it was just going to put in electric and drill a well and the county came and evicted him.

    Dr, Bonner's Soap

    Thank you all. I bought the Hemp Tea Tree, but I might also order the Peppermint as repelling ticks sounds like a great thing to have on hand.

    Dr, Bonner's Soap

    I watched a You Tube video and bought a bottle of Dr. Bonner's Soap and reading the directions, it appears you can use it for just about anything.

    Will it Vegan? From meatloaf to tofu. An odyssey of deliciousness.

    I think the OPs question was "Do you have a recipe that can be made vegetarian with one or two adjustments?" I will often use TVP in my soups or casseroles that call for ground beef.

    Soup Time is on the way

    Oh I remembered this dump and go soup. 2 cans of black beans, 1 can of beef broth. (They don't make the cans anymore so I would think a jug would be fine.) and a half a jar (about a cup) of salsa and a couple teaspoons of cumin. Heat and serve with some sour cream and chopped green onions...
