An Excellent Kitchen Companion – Slow Cookers
mortgage refinance There are two types of cookers nowadays. One is the type of people who have a very modern kitchen, probably with only 2 walls communicating with the living room. They use the microwave oven to cook. This way they don’t make smells in the entire house.
juegos Compared to traditional ovens and stoves, especially older, less energy-efficient models, the crockpot uses much less energy. You can load an entire meal into a crockpot and not turn on the oven, stove, or microwave.
You’ll need raw ingredients for the crockpot, which means you’ll save money buying fresh items opposed to boxed and processed goods. Frozen or boxed side items, as well as processed entrees, can cost up to two times as much as their fresh, raw counterparts.
Next time you’re at the grocery store, equip a calculator and add up your purchases, separating your produce and raw meats to your frozen, canned, and boxed goods. You’ll probably be surprised.
By avoiding boxed and processed foods, you’ll also be doing your health a favor. Compare the ingredient list of frozen mashed potatoes to the ingredient list on a bag of raw Russet potatoes. Compare the wall of preservatives and chemicals in a large frozen family meal to the ingredients of fresh onions, squash, mushrooms, and a chuck roast from the meat aisle.
homes for sale They allowed for unattended cooking of standard home food such as stew, rice and other dishes. People loved these because they just had to put in the ingredients, leave the cooker as it is, go to work and come back to a freshly prepared dish. With the advent of fast food joints and with the introduction of microwaves, slow cookers had lost their charm.
The best thing about the crock pot recipes is that even though they take 8 hours to get cooked, in that 8 hours you don’t care at all what happens to the food. Because it can’t get burned. The recipes are also very delicious. This is because the seasoning has enough time to fully combine with the meat.
These recipes haven’t been that popular in the past. Maybe this is because the crock pots used to be expensive. But now it’s not the case. These recipes are the new wave in cooking.

Episode 184Cajun Recipes for my anniversary?
I’d like to cook something special for my anniversary dinner. Each year I pick recipes from the world and I thought this year we could have a cajun menu. The one who gives me something like “family recipes” (I mean a recipe that is not taken from the internet) gets 10 pts.
Thank you and hugs from Italy 
Traditional Cajun recipes would include Turduckins (duck breast stuffed in a chicken stuffed in a turkey) & stuffed chickens. (Both are traditional French recipes long forgotten but rediscovered here in creole & cajun country)
With either, you would first de-bone the bird or ask your local butcher to do it for you(except for the wings), season the interior, then stuff with your choice of dressing. I like to stuff my birds with crayfish etoufee, Jambalaya(my favorite), dirty rice, Boudin, or something more “american” say Broccoli & Cheese rice casserole. Then I like to cook my bird in a clay pot.(I know that you can get your hands on a clay pot for sure in Italy!) Take root vegetables (potatoes, onions, shallots, carrots’ parsnips) & some mushrooms & place them on the bottom of the clay pot. Add a good full bodied red wine like Cabernet, merlot, sangiovese, granache or pinot noir (not chianti!) to the bottom to give a good flavor & add moisture. Place chicken on top of vegetables. Add fresh rosemary, garlic, sage & thyme then season appropriately with sea salt & fresh ground pepper. Cook at 375 for about 1 hour (get a meat thermometer)
DON’T FORGET TO SEASON THE INSIDE OF THE BIRD BEFORE STUFFING!!!!
Remove the bird onto a large cutting board & let cool for 10 minutes. Then with an extremely sharp knife slice the bird from side to side. This should create “Roulades” which should look like a meat circle filled with the stuffing. Season to taste & enjoy a true masterpiece!
For dessert make a white chocolate bread pudding complemented with a whiskey sauce.(recipe on the internet for bread pudding. Just add white chocolate!)
Or go for Bananas Foster
I am a manager at a Cajun Specialty Meat market & we sell about 1000 stuffed chickens every month. For more cooking instructions & ideas go to stuffedfoodstores.com
Because I think that you are in italy here are some leads on some prepackaged products that you can order; Zatatrains Jambalaya(the best), Tony Chaches creole seasonings. Paul Prudhommes seasonings (incredible)
Good Luck & happy anniversary.

Diet Ideas for a Picky Eater?
I am 24 years old and at my highest weight ever. I am 5′ 7" and currently weigh 192 pounds. I recently quit smoking and have taken up eating in its place. I have an exercise program in place, but can’t seem to find a diet to go along with it. I am extremely picky. I basically eat chicken, most fruits and vegetables, bread, dairy products, and pasta. I live in Southern Louisiana (where we are known for our amazing cajun food) but I don’t like any type of seafood, including fish, I don’t care for any type of bean or peas, not big on red meat, and can’t eat pork because it gives me migraines. Help!! Any ideas are appreciated. I would like to get back down between 145-160. I know it will take a while, but I am willing to give it a try!
Here is a suggestion: (If you liked it or if it worked for you, you can replace the items with your own preferences)

What to make for an All-American meal in France?
I’m spending my semester with a host family in France and they all really want me to cook an American meal. I want to, but I have no idea what to make. I need a main course, side dishes, and a dessert.
So what do you all think would be a unique, typical, American meal? (fyi: I’m from New York State, I know the region frequently matters on this. For example, though awesome, I’m not going to make creole food, that’s not something I would have back in the states.)
Any suggestions are welcome!
All of the people who answered have very creative answers, but fail to realize that some if not all there suggestions are impossible in France, they do sell the crap that is normal in the US, I would go for the apple pie, but use a selection of french apples, fried chicken is another idea, even a spaghetti with meat sauce, Europeans are not familiar with the US style meat sauce or meatballs.
I am a former chef from Canada and cooked in Hotels and was in France for awhile in the mid 1990′s, and try something that is easy and you can handle, if you could get you hands on some smoked deli meat to make a reuben sandwich there is another idea, but US style corned beef and pastrami is hard to come buy but french cooked ham would be a good substitute.
