    May 2, 2021

    When we get into a shopping routine, it is easy to take for granted the things we buy from the supermarket. Certain foods are assumed to be best acquired pre-made and pre-packaged, but in actual fact, it is easier and healthier to make some foods from scratch.

    5 Essential Cooking Skills Taught in Culinary School

    August 1, 2019

    Most home cooks wish we could afford culinary school. Not necessarily to get into the restaurant industry, but to “sharpen” our kitchen skills. Recently attending a cooking school function, I learned exactly what the syllabus of a culinary school includes. Here are 5 basic cooking skill elements taught in culinary school. I. Knife Skills for Cooking Knives are the most important tool in your kitchen.  Using them properly and having proper technique will provide less risk of injury, faster prep times and better results in your cooking. When using a knife, watch the non-knife hand, keeping the food steady. The knife tip never leaves the cutting board surface.  Use the…

    Asian Mexican Fusion Chicken Recipe

    March 6, 2019

    As you may know, I am really working on losing a few extra pounds – ok – A LOT of extra pounds. I have been seeking recipes using Asian inspired spices, which have incredible health benefits.  While searching these out, I discovered a fellow blogger’s recipe for “Sazon Goya” (thank you from the SkinnyTaste.com).  It is a type of seasoning salt found in Mexican markets.   I decided to play with it a bit and use turmeric for some Asian inspiration. You are going to love this chicken recipe, which includes healthy ingredients, but maintains a simplistic approach for a quick weeknight meal. I promise this Asian-Mexican fusion chicken recipe…

    Chicken Enchiladas For Two

    May 16, 2017

    Enchiladas are an easy weeknight meal, which can be very healthy if you use good ingredients. Simple and easy to prepare, I made these chicken enchiladas with my favorite go-to, pre-cooked, pre-chopped PERDUEchicken. ***this post contains affiliate links to which, if you make a purchase, I will be paid a small commission. Great invention for couples, or even one person. Of course, you can prepare raw chicken, however, I think it tends to get a bit dried out for this application. These were delicious and only baked for 20 minutes.  Prep time was about 15 minutes…dinner under an hour! CLICK HERE TO SHOP! Make Your Own Enchilada Red Sauce Ingredient…

    Cod and Potatoes for Two People

    April 10, 2017

    Full of flavor and very easy to prepare, this lemon and herb cod filet with crispy garlic potatoes is delicious and a perfect meal for two on a busy weeknight. Honestly, I had never had fish with a potato dish before.  I thought it just was not a logical combination, however, after preparing this dish,  I now realize what I have been missing.  This perfect dinner is also very easy to clean up.  Just line your baking sheet with aluminum foil and you can just toss it when done. I highly recommend trying this recipe. If you like halibut or haddock better, they would make good substitutes for the cod. …
