Dinner Basics: Tips for Easy and Nutritious Meals

     This is how I begin many meals: Saute diced onion and bell pepper in oil for 5-10 minutes on med-low heat. Turn heat lower, add crushed or diced garlic and saute for 3 more minutes.

     From there, you can make a variety of pasta dishes, rice pilaf, soups, chili, eggplant marinara, chicken, pork and more. These flavors lend themselves well to so many things, you almost can't go wrong. In fact, you can cook some pasta, salt, pepper and Parmesan to taste, add a simple green salad, and you have dinner. Same goes for rice pilaf: just add rice, water, and salt and pepper to saute pan and cook.

     This is also a great way to begin a chicken or pork dish. I usually add either lemon juice or wine when cooking meat. You can do this entirely on the stove top. For instance, add juice from 1 lemon and chicken breast tenders (salted, peppered, and sprinkled with oregano, rosemary or both) to saute pan, turn up heat until bubbling, cover and reduce heat to simmer for 5-10 minutes. Remove lid and turn up heat to brown and finish. Tip: Make sure you have enough liquid to start with. You don't need to go crazy with the oil, but don't skimp, either. The lemon or wine helps with this and also adds a lot of flavor. You will have a nice juice to pour over the chicken to serve.

     Those are just a few examples of a half-hour meal. I almost always make a simple, green salad to go along with the main course. It takes 5-10 minutes at most and can be done while the rice or pasta cooks. You can make a simple vinaigrette with olive oil, red wine or balsamic vinegar and a little mustard.

     Things I keep on hand: onions, bell peppers, garlic bulbs, lemons, fresh carrots, a head of lettuce, canned tomatoes, pasta, rice, beans, olive oil, cheaper cooking oil, red wine vinegar and/or balsamic vinegar, frozen vegetables (spinach and broccoli are my stand-by) and some dried herbs and spices. Most of these have a wonderfully long shelf (or freezer) life and can provide a delicious meal in themselves.

     Herbs & Spices I can't live without: basil, oregano, rosemary, bay leaves, tarragon, parsley, sage, dill, thyme, celery seed, paprika, cayenne, black pepper, red pepper flakes. I'm surely missing some, but I've gotten a lot of mileage from the above.

     You can do so much with these methods and ingredients, and you'll find that your dinners taste better (and cost less!) than most of what you'll find eating out.

Useful Tips For Cooking Chicken

 &     Chicken is a lot of fun to cook with because it is one of the most versatile ingredients out there. When it comes to chicken meat, one of the main dangers is the risk of salmonella. That's why you want to make sure that your chicken is fully cooked before you eat them. Different cooking method will require different cooking time. For example, grilling chicken thighs will take about ten minutes.

     On the other hand, if you want to bake chicken breasts, you will need to set the oven to at least 160 degree Fahrenheit. You can also bake frozen chicken in an oven though the cooking time will usually be 50% longer than usual. Using this cooking method, the easiest way to tell when your chicken is done is when the skin is perfectly crisp and golden and the the white meat inside tender and juicy and no pink is showing. For boneless chicken breasts, the cooking time is usually shorter when compare to chicken with bones.

     There are a number of cooking equipments you can use while cooking a chicken. If you want a healthy and good-tasting home meal, just cook your chicken dishes in a slow cooker. In fact, whole poultry is great for pot roasting in a slow cooker. When you bite into it, you are in for a treat because it is going to be so moist and juicy that your family is going to beg you for more.

     If you want another way to cook a whole chicken, why not try grilling it on indirect heat. You can also cook a whole chicken under a broiler for a very different taste. Cooking fried chicken breasts is also quite simple if you know the right steps and techniques.

     If you have a pressure cooker, that's even better. Be sure to secure the cover of your pressure cooker and turn down to a simmer until you're sure that the chicken is fully cooked. Alternatively, if you want something healthier, you can make hearty chicken soup in a slow cooker to warm you up on those cold nights.

     If you find that the natural flavor of the chicken is not enough to stir your appetite, you can always season them with pepper and salt. To check whether your chicken is fully cooked, you can use a digital meat thermometer to ensure that your meal is fully and safely cooked.

     Cooking is fun, easy and rewarding. If you want to cook a healthy meal with meat, choose chicken. If you're looking for some baking recipes, why not check out my baked chicken recipe site?

Tasty, Healthy Vegetable Tips

        Vegetables are tasty or bland, depending on how you fix them. Here are some simple tips for yummy, healthy vegetables.
You can use the same technique for different types of vegetables like potatoes, asparagus, green beans, or carrots.

        Everyone loves french fries, right? We keep hearing about how bad they are for us, clogging our arteries and making us fat. Well, there is a healthy way to make them and these fries are delicious. Heat up your oven to 350 degrees. Wash some potatoes and rough cut them with skins on. Place in a bowl, pour extra virgin olive oil over them and stir well. Place on a pan, sprinkle some salt (preferably Himalayan pink salt) and bake as long as it takes for your taste. The longer you bake, the crisper they become. Usually 30 or 40 minutes will do the trick, depending on how you like them.

      Consider what you have accomplished. Your potatoes are fresh, not processed. If you read any frozen package of prepared french fries, you will see undesirable added ingredients. Also, you have used mono saturated olive oil, which is good for you. Make sure you use late harvest extra virgin olive oil. Others could give a strong olive oil taste. As a side benefit, if you use Himalayan salt, it is even better for you. Everyone in your family will love these "fries," I promise.

     You are probably thinking, this could work for other vegetables. You are absolutely right, and one of my favorites is asparagus. There are those who say they dislike this vegetable, but perhaps they have only tasted the canned variety. There is nothing better than fresh asparagus, ends trimmed, immersed in extra virgin olive oil, salted, and placed in the oven for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Another benefit is that it looks great on a plate.

      You can use the same method with countless other vegetables. Summer squashes like zucchini and yellow crookneck are delicious fixed this way. Another favorite of mine is green beans. They usually are rather bland, but when caramelized in the oven, they transform into a delightful treat. Wax beans or Italian green beans are alternatives that are delectable with this method, as well.

     Carrots are a good choice too. Remember to cut them small enough so they cook in a timely fashion. The easiest way to enjoy carrots is to get a bag of those baby carrots that are already prepared. With a little extra virgin olive oil, salt and 40 minutes in the oven, you are on your way to a tremendous addition to any meal.

     You probably have some terrific ideas of your own to try with this technique. Your menus will sparkle with tasty vegetables that are healthy for your family. It may surprise you to find that your former vegetable haters are now putting in requests for their new favorites.
