Major Tips To Get You Cooking For Fun

By Johnathan Black


In today's declining economy, there is a bright spot for families. More and more people are cooking at home instead of eating out. Cooking food at home can bring families together. The enjoyment of a shared meal is an important aspect of our social natures that dates back to the beginning of time.

Substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise in creamy salad dressings. If you are on a diet or just trying to eat healthy, you can still make creamy salad dressings with healthy ingredients. Just substitute the mayonnaise in them with a low-fat Greek-style yogurt. This will make the dressing much healthier.

Improper storage techniques won't ensure they will last from harvest through the winter months, which is when they are most often desired for inclusion in recipes. Heat and oxygen spoil apples, so place them in plastic bags in a cool spot. Your fridge is ideal. Make sure you take a look at them throughout the season; a simple rotten apple can easily ruin the rest of the bunch.

Save your butter and margarine wrappers to use when baking. The wax paper that butter and margarine is wrapped in just happens to be the perfect size for greasing pans or rubbing onto a potato before popping it in the oven for baking. Save wrappers butter-side to butter-side in a closed storage container, so it stays fresh for your baking needs.

When your pasta is done and you are finished draining, pour some Parmesan cheese on top, which will give your sauce something to latch on to. This will make things much easier for you when you are creating your meal and allow you to layer the levels of your pasta.

Cook your vegetables quickly to retain quality and nutrients. When you cook veggies slowly, they lose many nutrients. The quick cook methods generally make the vegetables tastier and more nutritional. Cooking vegetables for only a short amount of time is essential.

Food and family are almost synonymous. Whether it's the holidays, or just the evening meal, it is a wonderful thing to see the return of the home cook. The shared act of cooking a meal can only strengthen our families and improve our overall health in this society.
