Q. Just bought one because on the food network they use it for virtually everything but now I can't remember any recipes. What are some good recipes that you use often in a processor for dinners?
I am actually making meatloaf tonight but didn't know if I could put the meat in the processor? I chopped the onions and everything in there.

A. It's so nice to have a processor. Gyoza and meatloaf are so easy to make in the process. Here are a few more recipes we use it for. =)
Red Lentil Soup with Curry and Coconut Milk
4 to 6 servings
* 3 Tbs. vegetable oil
* 2 medium onions, chopped (2 cups)
* 1 cup red lentils
* 3 medium carrots, peeled and roughly chopped (1 cup)
* 14-oz. can coconut milk
* 1 bay leaf
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 1-inch piece fresh ginger, minced
* 1 Tbs. curry powder, preferably hot
* 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1. In medium saucepan, heat 2 Tbs. oil over medium heat. Add onions, and cook, stirring often, until onions start to brown, about 10 minutes. Add 4 cups water, lentils, carrots, coconut milk, 1 tsp. salt and bay leaf. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, until lentils are tender, about 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in small skillet, heat remaining 1 Tbs. oil over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, curry powder and cilantro. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add to soup.
3. Remove bay leaf. In food processor or blender, puree soup in batches until velvety smooth. Taste, and add a bit more salt if desired. Serve hot.

7-Vegetable Chicken Stew with Dumplings (You can add different veggies if you choose.)

* 1 1/2 cups cubed, peeled rutabagas

2. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes; stir in peas.
3. Meanwhile, in a food processor or by hand, make dumplings: combine flour, parsley, butter, baking powder and salt until mixture is in coarse crumbs; stir in milk, then drop by tablespoonfuls onto the hot stew; you should have about 6 mounds.
4. Cover pot and simmer-- don't boil hard and DON'T lift the lid-- for 15 minutes.

Update: Most recipes say to process other ingredients and add to meat by hand but some don't. Example : " Mix all the ingredients except the meat in the food processor. Add the meat and pulse until fully incorporated with the other ingredients." http://blogs.familyeducation.com/parenting/moms/sweet-pea-chef/ten-rrific-recipe-9-food-processor-meatloaf
It depends the ingredients you're using and how you like the texture. I would tend to use it more with ground turkey and less with ground beef.
Alton Brown doesn't use the processor for the meat and adds wants you to not even squeeze the meat. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/good-eats-meat-loaf-recipe/index.html

What are some different meals i can feed my 14 month old?
Q. I'm getting tired of feeding my 14 month old son the same thing all the time. For breakfast its usually oatmeal or eggs. I dont have any good recipe ideas for breakfast lunch or dinner. Do u have any ideas that are easy to make meals for my son?
A. Breakfast : Fruit pancakes (make a batch and freeze), miniature breakfast cups (eggs, cheese, veggies cooked in muffin pans), yogurt parfaits (soft fruits layered with yogurt)
Lunch/Dinner : Homemade soups like broccoli & cheese, tomato, vegetable beef, chicken tortilla (make a batch and freeze into individual servings), whole wheat english muffin pizza cut into fourths, brown rice with left over chicken and soft veggies topped with pasta sauce, vegetable meatloaf (sauteed onion, shredded carrot, chopped raw spinach), grilled chicken strips dipped in avocado and marinara sauce, homemade mac and cheese with lean meat like chicken or ground turkey with mixed veggies
I ALWAYS find recipes online (mostly from allrecipes.com). I try it out and if it is a hit I keep it, if it's not good I toss it and find another one. I am constantly finding things to help me with things we normally eat like new pizza ideas (chicken spinach alfredo pizza!), slow cooker ideas (my favorite!), meatless dish to save money etc...

What should I make for dinner and dessert?
Q. Hello,
I'm vegan and I normally cook only vegan food but I'm getting married soon and my boyfriend eats poultry, fish and drinks milk and I want to make him a full homemade meal just for him but I don't know what to make because I don't cook with those things. I've never cooked for him before so I want it to be really special. He loves chicken, beans, and rice so I need a really good recipe with these. I also want to make him a really good dessert. Something you've made before and everyone loved. Thank you!

A. You can use ground chicken or turkey or even crumbled tofu with soy sauce-- and he may never know that there was no meat with tofu-- just use ample BBQ sauce to mix
Shepard's Pie:

Add all ingredients together. Put in a loaf pan. Pour suace over and cook for 1 hour 15 minutes. Do this whether you use the sauce or not
or
Try Zatarain's Dirty Rice or Jambalaya Mix. With the dirty rice mix you have to use ground beef. With the Jambalaya Mix you can use chicken or smoked sausage.( *It taste best with sausage).
My version of ghoulash:
Ground Beef with vegetarain beans(pork and beans without the pork) with chopped onions, picante sauce, and tomato sauce. Serve over white rice.
Pasta Salad with veggies: Tri-colored rotini pasta with chopped onions, tomatoes, cucumbers and green olives. Mix with Robusto Italian Dressing. Add a little seasoned salt and black pepper. Chill in the frig.
Chicken Pettazini:
Spaghetti with chopped, grilled, boneless chicken breast, Four Cheese white sauce or the Roasted Garlic and Parmesan cheese white sauce. You can also add green pepper if you like.
