Hi I am a 73 year woman on a fixed income.  I receive a food box that has chicken breasts and it says to deep fry or cook in a convection oven.  I cannot have deep fried foods and do not have a convection oven.  Can someone help me on how to cook these in a conventional oven.  thank you very much.

rjputt,

Bone-in breasts at 350 degrees should take about 22-26 minutes, depending on size and thickness.

Boneless breasts at 350 degrees should take about 18-22 minutes, depending on size and thickness.

Hi Andi!  Welcome to the site,  I'm sure you'll find all kinds of recipes for you and your family.  I read your intro and let me just say I totally understand.  I've had some back surgeries as well, they helped alot.  Unfortunately I have some other issues that put me in a wheelchair.  I'm not that great a cook either, but I found out thru this site that I'm not as bad as I thought I was.  I don't have any specific recipes but I might be able to tell you where to look on this site.  First,  check out kitchen conversations.  You'll find all kinds of great recipes to suit your situation.  You might even run into a few of mine.( Easy is my kind of recipe!)  Also check out cooking and kids, that's a good one too.  Then there's also Emergency dinners or cooking on a budget.  They're not called that exactly but you get the jist.  Just surf this site and I'm sure you'll find some easy recipes.  Also, you can always ask betty crocker or ask the other members in kitchen conversations, bake life sweeter, etc..  I'm sure you'll find all kinds of help here and please let me know how you're doing!  Take care!

Not sure if this is what you are looking for. There was a posting on 8/5/2008 from happycooking7 for the starter to make friendship bread/cake.

I f I may jump in , yes you're right there is a recipe in this section and I think it's in the first couple of pages. You might look in the beginning of 'Welcome to new mem....'.

HELLO MY NAME IS RHAE IM A NEW MEMBER AND I JUST MADE THE PULL APART CUPCAKE TURTLE CAKE , IT WAS SO EASY,I MADE IT FOR A COWORKER THAT IS GOING BACK TO SCHOOL SHE LOVES TURTLES IM SURE SHE WILL LOVE IT. SO THANKS

Just thought I’d jump in here and say HI.  My name is T’ce and I’m a classically trained Culinary Chef that just LOVES to bake.  I’ve always been of the opinion that a good Chef should be able to bake as well as they braise….

I am looking for a recipe for a Christmas Cookie that I use to make with my Grandmother way, way back in the 60’s.  I believe it came from the Betty Crocker Cookbook and they  were called something like Angel Kisses or Christmas Kisses.  They were made with dates and rolled into balls and then rolled in coconut.  I have very fond memories of these cookies and would love to make them for my Grandchildren.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Now I’m off to tell some friends about this site…

Hello to All new members,  I'm chicagosinger, although I'm thinking of changing my nickname to 'lost in the kitchen'.  Anyway,  hi particularly to our 2 newest members who joined today!  I'm sure you'll both have a lot of fun on this site.  I'm quite sure you both have some great ideas and recipes to share with us.  Please take the time to browse the community sites where you can share and ask.  Most importantly,  you'll get to know the community.  The members in this site are nicest, helpful and patient people ever.  The BC staff are awesome, if you have any problems go to "ask Betty Crocker..", and someone will help you out.  Most of all, have fun and welcome again!

tcee56, maybe this one is similar. I don't know if this is a BC recipe or not, but it's a long time family favorite.

My Mom always made these at Christmastime and I still make them, too. My brother called them "cat-balls" because he said they looked like they came out of the cat's litter box. LOL We would all laugh and it would make Mom so mad. My brother is in his 60s now...and he still calls them cat-balls and looks forward to them every Christmas!

Be sure not to overcook or boil too long or mixture will harden.

Hello all,

I'm Barbara and I'm hoping someone can answer a question I have about Betty Crocker Fudge Brownie Mix.  The box states that it is Family Size, 13x9 pan.  I like thicker brownies and have used a 9x9 pan and they came out great.  Can I use a 13x9 pan and use TWO boxes of brownie mix to make a double batch?  Thanks.

Could someone tell me if Betty Crocker box tops or labels are still being accepted? 

My school has several hundred.

Thank you.

Elizabeth

BarbaraAJ, yes, you can use 2 mixes for the 9x13 pan.

Hey everyone, good to be a member. Looking forward to many good recipes in the future. Paul Hornbake

Hello, my name is Joyce and I have a question. Can I use applesauce instead of oil for a cake to make it less fattening?

Hi Joyce!  Welcome to the site!  If I could make a suggestion only 'cause it sounds like you need an answer for tonite's dinner.  Look for site called 'Ask the Betty Crocker kitchens..."  It's (top right corner) by where you click to get to kitchen conversations, bake life sweeter, etc.. if you look down by the bottom, you'll find that section.  Click onto that and when you get your page, at the top left corner you'll see "start your own conversation..",  Click onto that and you can post your question there, this way you'll get a much quicker response.More than likely someone from BC will answer your question or one of the other members.  Someone like Alabama cooker, Atlanta Pat, Mittens, Or granna2 will probably be able to give you a quick answer so you can get your dinner planned quicker!  Good luck, and again welcome.  I'm sure you'll find this to be a great site with great people involved!  Also, I check the site quite often during the day and late into the evening, so if you need me , holler!

jgerthe, yes, you can.

Applesauce is an excellent substitution for oil in a cake mix.  You use the same amount as you would the oil.  It doesn't change the flavor, it makes it moist & is lower in fat.  I hope this helps.

Hi everyone! I'm Roxanne and I don't like to cook or clean up after cooking. Cooking usually makes me crabby and my children said that I shouldn't bake cookies, even on no burn cookies sheets the 1st batch never turns out. I like to make meals in the crockpot or meals that fit into one pan. Easy is the name of the game. My husband is a good cook and he doesn't mind cooking.

Hi, My name is Sue Willis. I learned to cook using my Mom's old grey binder Betty Crocker Cookbook. When they came out with an aniversary edition I bought myself one.I have been trying for the last two years to find two recipes. One is for mashed potato pancakes. My Dad told me my Granny used to make pancakes out of left over mashed potatoes. I have looked and asked everywhed everyone I can think of but no one seems to know I am hopeing someone here might have it. the other is for homemade ice cream. I have an Old hand crank ice cream makr
