Clean As You Work

I don't like when I go to cook the kitchen is dirty and looks bad. Because who would want to eat out of place like that. That's way its good to clean as you go because its healthy. Say your cooking and you drop food on the floor and you keep working. Your using a cutting broad and you leave to off and do something else. Mixing up cake mix and leaving all the egg shells all on the counter top. That's just nasty, But if you just take time out and clean as you go things will work out so much better for in the long run. You wont just walk in the kitchen and just turn right back around, you would be happy and be ready to cook. Why because you in a clean kitchen.

candy

Candy is not good for you that's what they say. But you know and know that kids cant stay away. It gives the kids a sugar rush, kids jumping around. That's a big no no in my book. If you feed them more home cooked meals that her good for there health. Most of the time the kids are not going to think about candy, and sweets. Their going to be asking what's for dinner and not can I have soda, candy, cup cakes etc.. The more we let our children know that all that sweet stuff can be good but the after look is not always good.

Food Food Food...

Things that people eat. The number one thing I think is pizza and hot wings. Every where you go that's all you see. At the bar hot wings, going out to eat hot wings. I cant lie I am one of those people that love to order hot wings. And when I'm at home I order pizza and hot wings. I think more people need to get out and try need things, because if you don't you missing out, Before I came to this school I was the same old girl that get the same thing every time I go out, but now since I opened up my eyes wow, I was missing out big time.

Happy Birthday

Most kids always get the big birthday cake and not just keep it small. Well i guess for a one yr old it should be small. Because you cant really do it big just yet. So i have been in the mood for baking. Just because its fun to do and i want to undestand the things behind it all. My bestfriend is having a birthday party for her baby, so I asked her if i could make her a small cake with some cup cakes going around it. You know not to have anything so big because like I said she was only one. I had alot of fun doing this so I think I

will do this more often. Because that bithday girl was so happy about her little cake i made just for her. Happy Birthday....

Fried Rice

Panda Express has some great food. But sometimes there rice is a little dry. Maybe because of how long it get left out, because its on a buffet line up. But there is nothing like making your own fried rice. Not saying that all the time there rice is no good or even fresh. So with that being said I went over to my friends house and he was cooking some fried rice. Before I could even try it, I knew it was good. From how it smell, and look. It was good ol ham fried rice. Man I had a spoon full of that rice and I was in love. I called it Dre Dre's rice. But he is known by Taylor'd Chef and for me his rice was better and fresher.

Fajita?

So how did this come about for Chef Tibbs. Im in school at LeCole and it was finals week things are going well; until we had to come with our own menu for our class. We was going to set everything up like a buffet. So I was thinking if what dish I was going to bring to the table. So Chef Tibbs came up with Chicken Fajita Egg Rolls. Yes there was something that went wrong. We had no egg rolls wrappers in the school. But I was smart I ask if we had some wonton wrappers. The day came and here I go, wish me luck. I got all my mise en place together and I began my work. Chicken, peppers, onions, salt and pepper, egg wash, and last but not least my wonton wrappers. And know here what I have.....

-Grilling-

Its time! Sun coming out time to light up that grill. The smell of it, the taste of it, the overall feeling you get when you hear the word BBQ. Wow just so amazing, making your own BBQ sauces, and having different marinades and bbqing/grilling techniques. But you also have to understand the difference between grilling and bbq, oh yes there is a difference. Chicken, hot dogs, brawts, corn on the cob, baked beans, hamburgers, and potato salad. Then you've got family, friends, music, fun and some good eats. What are the best bbq dishes you've had and what are some of your favorites?

Good ol Health Kick

Your health comes first! If your not healthy then your on the wrong track. I'm not saying you have to be like a health nut everyday, but atleast eat friut or veggie every other day or substitute it for a sugary snack at lunchtime even drink a healthy drink. No, no, no you can make great choices on your own and many people are trying to lose weight for summer right now too. Skipping out on fried foods and substituting them for baked foods is a start, cutting back on fast foods and cooking at home is second. I bet you didn't realize walking from your car to your job, walking around your job, and even chasing your children around the yard and house is exercise. Don't forget that large piece of cake you've hidden from your kids isn't gonna hurt because it will. Try new things fruits and veggies won't hurt you at all they actually help balance alot of things going on in your body like metabolism, fats, acids, electrolytes, your heart, your brain, cholesterol, blood pressure, ect.

DRINK UP

Most people don't understand the proper way to have a drink. They always think that it means let go to the bar and take shots and live it up. But if your grown and understand the proper way is to call up some friends and have a glass are two of wine, not anything hard. And talk and maybe even have a great meal. Oh and you also need to understand what wines go with what foods. That's why you have so many persons in the world that are wine taster and do a good job at it. Because you can have wine and cheese with fruit. Wine at a dinner party. So you should open up and try new things because its not good to not understand the proper way of having a drink.....that's if your grown.

Sunday Dinner

The best day of the week. Cause that's the day your family come together as one. The smell of all that good food cooking. My favorite Sunday dinner is meat loaf, green beans and mashed potatoes with gravy. Every time I get that plate I start dancing. Now when you start dancing that's how you know you fat. Lol but that's a good feeling to me. Talking to love ones and enjoying life.

Milk & Cookies

Tall glass of milk and a pack of cookies. Oreos are the best. Because can take them apart and lick the cream. Then..put it back together dip them in that tall glass of milk. You can also just go all in. Because me I just dip and eat dip and eat. But I got something soon you guys. And I know you will enjoy every single bite.

Late Night

Don't hate when you can't sleep, and you have to get up early. Toss and turning and your stomach is doing all kinds of crazy things. All you need is something light to put on your stomach, so your up tip toeing  to the kitchen for a little snack. But that late night snack turn in to eating hot pockets, icecream, cookies, pizza rolls, cup cakes, chips ect.... You get the point. And after all that you still can't sleep, stomach hurts all over again. So what you should get out of this is eat enough before it's time to hit that pillow so you want be feeling like you have to run to the bathroom all night.

Breakfast

Bacon, eggs, pancakes, sausage, waffles, potatoes, biscuits, and gravy. These are just a few of the items you would eat for breakfast, I know I do. I don't like when people just skip out on breakfast it just gets under my skin. Because that's the most  important meal to eat it gets ready for the day, focus and energy for your body and mind. And when I say breakfast I mean hot and healthy. Nothing like some easy and bad for you like cereal with all that sugar in it. So to most of you out there try to get a hot fresh healthy meal for breakfast before you go out for the day, feel the difference in a healthy breakfast and a get out free eat anything for breakfast. It will make a big difference trust me....
 
                   

Snow Days

Don't you just love to be snowed in? There are a few things that I love about snow days. You get to chill in the house with the one's you love; and drink hot chocolate with marshmallows. Bake some cookies, play games. But if you have little brother's are sister's you know what your in for. Yes building snowman and having snowball fights. That's one of my favorite things to do. But when your all tired and out you just want to lay back and get warm and comfortable and find a great movie to watch. There's nothing better then a nice big bowl of chili are soup, with crackers on the side. Yes nice and warm and yummy to my tummy.

Restaurants

Don't you love to go out to eat. Yeah I agree only if the the food and service is right. So my question to you is, what's the first thing you look at when you enter a restaurant? How full it is, how many people are enjoying there meals. Well I ask how long of a wait and I also check out how the flow of how things are played out. Because when I get a restaurant I would want every one to enjoy themselves and the food. I would want them to come back and bring more people with. So the next time you go out ask yourself if you had a great night out.

The Super Bowl

Don't you just love when the super bowl comes around? Guess what, I do because of all the food and drinks. Yes party party party! There's nothing like football fans, food, and drinks. Let's see  chicken wings, beer pretzels, chips and dips, cocktails, beer etc... Your favorite team playing on that beautiful flat screen. Wow that's like the coolest thing. Oh maybe some potato skins, onion rings, mini slider's....Soooo good 🍻 🍸 🏈 🍔 🍕
