Are You Ready for Real Flavor?

When I cook, I do not use foods that are processed, canned, prepackaged, pre-prepared, or frozen. Food that is close to its natural state has a lot of flavor and nutrition. I cook my ingredients simply to ensure that the nutrients stay in the food and are not lost in the cooking process. I had a friend test some of my recipes and she could not believe how good her vegetables tasted. It was the first time she had cooked them without water.

If the only spinach you have ever tasted is frozen, you really do not know what spinach tastes like. In order to freeze it successfully, the processors must first blanch, or parboil, the fresh spinach. Vitamins, minerals and taste leach out into the water and are thrown away. I cook spinach in only little bit of butter. The taste is intense, delicious and the spinach retains its vitamin and minerals.

Let’s Cook Tonight® teaches a common sense approach to cooking and eating for maximum health, flavor and enjoyment. It makes sense to cook your vegetables without water. Do not steam or boil your vegetables, instead use a small amount of hot oil. They will retain their nutrients, they will have real flavor, and you will have a new taste sensation. You will eat your vegetables and Mom will be pleased.

Cooking is easier than you think and you are worth the time and effort it takes.

Simple cooking idea: Hard-boiled eggs are easier to peel if they are old. Buy them in advance and let them sit in your refrigerator 10 days or longer before you cook them.
