COOKING!

So I have discovered this new thing called the Food Network! It is amazing stuff. I am not an addict but I do learn a lot. I have starting cooking more of my meals from scratch and they have turned out pretty good. It has helped me find healthy alternatives to things such as using a wine based sauce over a cream based sauce. Which veggies to use, or more the fact that I'm using veggies. I still use garlic in almost everything but that is something that I don't know if i can ever give up. Garlic goes great with just about everything. There are exceptions, yes, but none that I have made yet (with the exception of the obvious stuff like pb&j, but I'm talking big meals here). I perfected fried rice and pan fried chicken. I made up this amazing! red wine and basil sauce that I'm still working on and have gotten really good at getting the veggies to a 'just right' look and texture. Its not much but its a start and we all have to start somewhere.

I have a new dream to add to my list and that is to meet Gordon Ramsey and have him teaching me some cooking skills! He knows it all and i want to have the best of the best teach me what it takes for a great meal.

My next task is sea food!!!! hahahahahhahahahha ok, I can't fake that one. I will move on to salads next. No sea food for this chicky!
