Friday Food

I said last week that I was going to stop my other 2 blogs and just write this one...

and quite frankly, I haven't touched my other two in a long time... but I feel there is still some valuable information on them, and they keep getting hits... so someone thinks it's valuable...

***

So, I'm gonna make good on the promise.

I wanted to slurp the other blogs on here, or even just cut and paste some of the better topics... but it won't let me cut and paste on blogger... why is that???

***

Anyway... those of you that know me...know that I am a caterer, Pampered Chef Consultant and

an all around foodie...

Although I've never been classically trained in Culinary school, I know my way around

the kitchen and all it's tools. My Mama and Papa are AWESOME cooks...

and my Aunts on both sides can cook CIRCLES around ANY Food Network chef... hands down.

***

I have a definite philosophy about cooking...

and it's this...

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO TAKE FOREVER TO MAKE A GREAT MEAL!

It just doesn't.

All you need is the will to learn some short cuts and to carve out some time once a week to do some prep... and you will be AMAZED what you can whip up for your family.

I am also a BIG believer in Cook Once, eat TWICE!

Are you ready to learn?

Are you ready for a series on this here blog?

I need a name for it.

I'll be posting on Fridays... so let's play with the F's... shall we?

Fantastic Food Friday?

Family Friendly Food Friday?

Fun Food Friday?

Help me!

I need a series name!

Okay... this week's homework is to ORGANIZE YOUR DRAWERS...

and put all in one place these items...

2 large bowls

1 whisk

measuring cups

can opener

wooden spoons

1 large knife

1 paring knife

cutting board

1 stock pot

1 frying pan

DON'T WORRY IF YOU DON'T HAVE ALL THOSE THINGS! Just comment on alternatives and I'll respond quickly!

The key is to have them ALL IN ONE PLACE, WHERE YOU CAN FIND THEM EASILY...

perhaps a basket in the pantry? or a drawer in the kitchen?

or in one area of your cabinets?

***

For me... gathering the ingredients and utensils is what I find overwhelming.

I have learned that having my most used items all in one place, makes me much more

willing to cook.

Ohhh I am sooo excited!

Okay... more tomorrow...

Get organized!!!
