Anyone who really knows me can tell you one of my favorite foods is a potatoes. (in any form )
Especially Baked Potatoes. I always baked my potatoes in the oven wrapped in foil. Until someone brought to my attention a much easier solution !
Ever noticed the little POTATO button on the microwave? Me either. I had never even considered it a possibility. It is such a time saver! Even if you do not have that button on your microwave simply: rinse off your potato, and cook for 4-8 minutes or until fork tender. Split open and add your favorite toppings. Quick and easy.
This pound cake is super easy! And so very delicious! I am not a fan of chocolate desserts (unless it includes a scoop of ice cream ), but i definitely went back for seconds on this one!
My favorite thing to do on a Saturday morning is to cook an Omelet. BREAKFAST is my favorite meal of the day! Once you have mastered the technique, they are so simple and versatile , my ingredients vary based on whats in my fridge. Great way to use up anything that needs to be used quickly .
Once you decide what ingredients you would like to fill your omelet, you will dice them up and saute them until fully cooked. Set aside to fill your omelet before folding. Lighter ingredients( fresh herbs, seasonings) can be added to the egg mixture.
In a non stick skillet over medium heat, melt a pat of butter and add your well beaten eggs. As the eggs begin to set, use your spatula to push in the edges allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the outer edges of the pan. Once egg is almost cooked add your filling.
There are two original methods that you can use to make an omelet, rolled(French ) and folded . ( I have two shortcut ways, Ill post later !)
Folded Method is easier for beginners. Follow process as stated above . Add filling to one half of the omelet, and fold the other half on top. Viola!
A. Smoked Sausage, Tomatoes, Bell Pepper,
Onion, Jalapeno, Colby Jack Cheese (FOLDED)
B. Turkey Sausage,Spinach, Bell Peppers
Cheese (ROLLED)
Rolled ( French) Method is a little more tricky. Imagine your omelet in thirds. Your filling will go in the middle third. Fold the right third over the middle, then gently coax the left third on to the plate. You can then use the pan to fold the rest of the omelet on to the plate. Garnish with filling.
We all know Chick Fil A has the best chicken..
And fries..
And sauces..
And LEMONADE !
Chick Fil A offers fresh made lemonade in regular and diet versions. I love the lemonade! The regular version is great, but seems to leave a very sweet after taste.
Try out the diet version instead. It's made with splenda instead of regular sugar. Dont let that make you leary, tastes just as good!
Now that we've gotten that important piece out of the way.. Welcome to my very first blog. I really just wanted to share my love and appreciation for FOOD! Desserts are my specialty but I also love to cook. Here on my blog I will be posting reviews of restaurants, sharing the stories behind some of my favorite recipes and trying out new recipes, cooking hacks, maybe some tutorials. I am open to suggestions! Please feel free to suggest anything you would like to see me try out. I hope to inspire and show that cooking delicious meals doesn't take a lot of hard work.
