THE BASICS!

THE BASICS! So before we get into swapping delicious simple recipes let’s talk about the basics. This blog isn’t just about cooking; it’s about providing healthy convenient alternatives as well. As a professionally trained chef I’ve learned over the years you need to have the right ingredients on hand to be able to cook great food quickly. When a chef can find convenience and quality all in one it’s a win-win! I think we can agree that we all need to do some level of grocery shopping. Whether it be physically going to the store or (here’s the first convenience) having your groceries delivered. We all pay for some level of convenience in our lives so arrange a time to have your groceries delivered that works best for you. • When planning meals cook extra food that everyone really likes at the beginning of the week in hopes to simply reheat a day or so later. This works great in our house especially when we are getting home late after a ball game. • We all tend to grill outdoors more in the warmer weather. Grilled vegetables seem to be more popular in our house so grill extra! This morning I diced up some grilled squash, onions, and peppers that I grilled the night before, scrambled them with eggbeaters, and put them on dry wheat toast. It was really delicious high in protein, low in fat, and low in sodium. It couldn’t have been simpler to prepare and will stay with me longer than cereal or yogurt. I love to cook especially for family and friends, but there are times I’m too tired or I just don’t feel like cooking, I have no desire to go out to a restaurant, and I want something good! I have recently ordered some food from a home meal delivery service. I’ll let everyone know how I made out in my next post. Eat Well Everyone! Dave
