Popcorn? Really?
As I was doing research for purchasing my grain mill, I read all sorts of “don’t do’s.” One of them was don’t try to grind anything that was too hard, including popcorn. But, when I got my grain mill (a NutriMill) the booklet that came with the machine said, “Popcorn will make the best cornmeal you’ve ever tasted.”
My Threesome Weekend: Me, Gregg, & George Foreman
There was a lot more to our weekend, but I won’t go into it here (heh). It was beautiful, and wonderful, and I fell in love with my husband a million more times this weekend.
Tip: How to Break Down a Chicken
It’s so much cheaper to break your own chicken down than to pay the price for a “whole cut up chicken”. Substantially cheaper. Cheaper like half as much per pound cheaper. Here’s how you break down a bird.
Roasted Red Peppers
Roasted red peppers are SO good in so many things — salad, pasta, on top of chicken…they have such a sweet and smoky flavor. If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary to do with your leftover Thanksgiving turkey, just toss the meat with some pasta and some roasted red peppers and you have and amazing, healthy meal in no time.
Tip: My New Favorite Kitchen Appliance
Gregg bought me this apple peeler and corer and slicer all in one at a kitchen store in August. He buys me things all the time, so I didn’t really realize what a treasure I had.
Tip: Peeling Tomatoes
This is an easy way to peel tomatoes. The same process can be used for peaches and other similarly skinned fruits that you intend to cook or can right away.
Tip: My “New” Stand Mixer
Try replacing the drawer and cabinet door handles or knobs, and the hinges with a nice looking but inexpensive set that will accent the look of the room.
For around $20, you can get a can of countertop treatment which fills in the cuts scratches and dings, and coats the whole counter, making that Formica look better than new in one of 40 possible modern colors.
Rope LED lighting is inexpensive and provides a warm, soft glow under the counter.
Maybe hubby can paint mis-matched appliances to match your other appliances.
Tip: Chopping Onions
My favorite onion dicer. It dices onion, peppers, garlic, pickles — almost anything except carrots! — in a small dice or a large dice.
