  • Peanut Butter Sandwich With Odd Side

    Peanut Butter Sandwich With Odd Side

    Shouldn’t work but it does. Yes that is salsa. I tried dipping a peanut butter sandwich in it. Give it a try if you’re curious. It should also work with a peanut butter cheese sandwich. Parents originally tried that in Holland a long time ago with good natural peanut butter and Gouda. © https://www.newbookofdays.com 2026

  • Texan’s Nightmare Chili

    Texan’s Nightmare Chili

    This came out surprisingly well. It’s vegan, but my husband added some of it to his hamburger with hamburger flavor mix and it was pretty good that way also. Also he likes it as it is, on its own. Eureka! © https://www.newbookofdays.com 2026

  • Tired Of Microwaving?

    Tired Of Microwaving?

    Edited on February 10, 2026 for better recipe performance! The other day I was microwaving various foods, and too tired to think straight. Next thing I knew I was microwaving bowl after bowl of stuff for two minutes each instead of putting it on one plate. But my microwave is pretty annoying anyway as it…

    Differs from the usual Mediterranean and Middle Eastern chopped salads in the addition of raw garlic and if available, avocado at the right freshness.

  • No pictures: Prep cook work at home

    If you haven’t worked in a commercial kitchen then you probably haven’t heard of the kitchen hierarchy so I’ll tell you. It goes like this, more or less: dishwasher, prep cook, saucier and salad/garnish cooks (in fancy kitchens), patissier/dessert chef, line cooks (including grill cooks, fry cooks etc.) and head chef. Some kitchens also have…

  • More Nonalcoholic Wine

    More Nonalcoholic Wine

    Alright so after more tinkering in the kitchen I’ve come up with a sweet and a dry version of nonalcoholic wine. I make no claims for their gourmet qualities but they do at least taste like wine. Both should be safe for pregnancy. Here are the recipes. © https://www.newbookofdays.com 2025

  • Fruit Tea

    Fruit Tea

    July 21, 2025 The idea here was to make sangria but not sangria. It was a base of sweet tea. I added:3 or 4 half slices of washed lemon, you know, they look like half moons1 apricot, washed, pitted and sliced (if you’re in the Marines or superstitious about apricots and their supposed bad luck…

  • Banana Milk

    Banana Milk

    Have you ever come home from work or school or whatever and are too tired to fix a meal but still want something quick? Here’s something I’ve been making since high school. I normally make it in a coffee mug to get the proportions right but as you can probably tell, I’m a little scatterbrained.…
