Easy Cooking Recipes Are Not A Cop Out, They Are A LifeStyle
Easy cooking recipes are basically the only way to go. Why would anyone want to spend hours of time and sweat equity in the kitchen to come up with the same dish and no better than what an easy cooking recipe would deliver. Now mind you, easy cooking recipes are not the equivalent of sub standard recipes. Or recipes that don’t measure up or don’t taste good.
No way! Easy cooking recipes are just that, easy. A lot of how the recipe turns out is the cook. If you are able to follow directions and you love cooking and you have some flare and enjoy ingredients, then they will turn out fantastic. That is exactly what this website is all about.
I love cooking. I love baking, I love experimenting with ingredients and coming up with my own slant on things while in the kitchen. But I really love easy cooking recipes because I have little time.
Like most of you dear readers, I am short on time. I have many demands on my day but the fact is I love to eat and so does my husband. And a fast trip to the fast food joint is not going to cut it at our house. So after playing with the recipes and food ingredients I have mastered being able to manage my time and be able to cook enjoyable dishes.
So if you also enjoy being in the kitchen but don’t have all the time you would like, you might benefit from my efforts. I have some of my own recipes I hope to share with you, and I have been looking around the web finding great ideas and putting my own spin on them. I’ll share those too.
Easy cooking recipes are not a cop out. They are a life style. I hope you will enjoy them.
A Fun Way To Write About Food is to Make a Squidoo Lens
Who Knew it would be a new found love of mine. I knew I loved writing about food But I didn’t realize it could also be profitable.
I have been a member of Squidoo for about three years now. I have always written about nursing or animals. But I only recently figured out that I could write about food.
Squidoo is a free website that helps you make your own websites, called lenses, by putting together modules. You can choose which modules you want to use and you can write about pretty much anything. And you get paid for your work.
Well Squidoo just introduced a new module called the recipe module. It was like a light-bulb going off over my head. Wow!! I love that. So I wrote two lenses about food, more specifically desserts. Have a look. The first one is called Quick And Easy Dessert Recipes and it is actually my best performing lens.
The other lens is called Edge Brownie Pan- A Brownie Baker’s Solution This lens is actually a marketing lens trying to get folks to pay attention to this very cool brownie pan that I saw on the Oprah Show.
Anyway, it is very exciting to me and I wanted to share. I hope you’ll have a look and if you like please leave a comment and let me know you were there.
Also if you are not with Squidoo already, here is my Squidoo referral link. I would appreciate your signing up with me.
Homemade Caramel Corn- Can’t beat that!
I am crazy about Carmel Corn. Every time my husband and I go to Frankenmuth, a small German town in this great state of Michigan, we buy Carmel Corn. There is a little shop up there that has specialty popcorns. I mean they have everything! Cinnamon corn. Peppermint corn. Chipotle corn. Bacon corn. You get my drift… everything you can think of it.
But the big thing for me is the Caramel corn. For me it is a snack, a treat, even an appetizer for friends when they are coming for dinner and they have some time to wait, why not give them some carmel corn around for their enjoyment?
I have written an article at Factoidz about a great recipe for Carmel corn. It could be an easy appetizer recipe or simply a snack that you might like to try. No reason to drive to Frankenmuth when you can make it in your own kitchen. Here is the article, I hope you enjoy it.
Do you like to go to the movies? I do. And what is the number one thing most people buy when they go to the movies? That’s right! Popcorn! I love popcorn. In all kinds of forms and styles. But my favorite of all is Caramel corn. It is simply the best. A combination of sweet and salty. How can yo beat that. And when you add peanuts you have a snack fit for a king, or maybe I should have said Queen.
There is a shop near where I live that sells so many kinds of popcorn that you absolutely can not decide what kind to get when you go in there. Most people have to buy some of several. They even sell little taste packages for those of us that can’t decide. It is very fun. From:Home Made Caramel Corn Recipe – Why Wait Make Your Own
A Great Cookie Dough Recipe Can Just Make You Smile
I ask you…Who of us doesn’t love cookies? I find them to be comforting and entertaining. A great snack for company or card playing, and almost always an easy cooking recipe. And a great cookie dough recipe is the best kind of cookie out there. Something fun in the kitchen to grab when you need a snack. They can be healthy or crazy, I just love cookies. And you don’t have to spend hours slaving away in the kitchen to be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
I have tons of ideas for cookies, in fact I am eating a cookie as I type this. My mom used to just walk into the kitchen a make up a batch of cookies. Right out of her head, no recipe! She was just that gifted in the kitchen. I still need a recipe for baking. But then I usually put my own spin on it. I love to doctor up whatever recipe I am working with and make it more of a “Susan recipe”. I love cooking and I love cookies.
A friend of mine, Beverly Mucha, who is the Winona Cooking examiner over at Examiner.com, is always sharing remarkable and always free recipes with us all. And this week she has a really great one it also fits into the category of easy cooking recipes and it is a cookie recipe! They are called Thumbprint Cookies and they are made from scratch, and talk about a great cookie dough recipe, this is it. And they are the old fashioned kind that has the chocolate kiss in the center. Can you beat that? I hope you’ll enjoy this recipe as much as I do. And let Beverly know you visited.
