10 Cooking Tips For Beginners That Are A Must Know A few simple cooking tricks can make a boring dish even more delicious or simplify your cooking process altogether. So here are 10 cooking tips for beginners that you can add to your chef repertoire! 1. Don’t overcrowd the pan. You might think you have enough room in your skillet for an extra piece of chicken, but if it’s questionable, don’t risk it.

Last year my daughter, while cruising the grocery aisle, starting asking for soda. Since soda is a huge no for her, I started looking for alternatives that still had that fun carbonated taste. We happened to stumble across these Sparkling Ice beverage drinks and they looking pretty interesting. We grabbed a few to test out and although I initially picked them up for her, I soon fell in love with them as well. I quickly discovered they are excellent as mixers when whipping up keto friendly summer cocktails like this Sparkling Ice Orange-Mango Cocktail. What is Sparkling Ice Sparkling…
I don’t know about you but grilling for the longest time was intimidating for me. I would break out in a cold sweat just from having to light the grill and the possibly of blowing my eyebrows clean off in the process. Then there was my worry of serving my guests burned/overcooked food or worse, undercooked food and making everyone sick. Needless to say, grilling can be a bit overwhelming — especially when you’re hosting a big crowd. Before you fire up the grill for your next summer backyard bbq keep these Summer Grilling Tips in mind from the grilling…
Easy Tangy Pineapple Cold Soup Recipe - Cool off this summer with this easy to make tangy pineapple chilled soup recipe plus five others to add to your summer must-try list.
I was really excited about this recipe! I love shrimp and I don’t do a lot of Asian cooking so although these Thai Shrimp Spring Rolls were pretty easy, I was initially intimated. Something about working with rice paper makes me nervous because it’s so delicate. This shrimp spring roll recipe used items I already had in my kitchen like bell pepper, cucumber, etc. The only thing I had to really buy was the shrimp, rice paper and nutritional yeast. I even had the tahini on hand from a past recipe. I was super lazy this day so instead of…
Cure Your Chocolate Craving With These Quick and Easy Baked Mini Chocolate Tarts It was a scorching 100° in the Inland Empire (California) this week but, that didn’t stop me from baking up these baked mini chocolate tarts. Reese is the baker, not me but when my chocolate craving hit and she was at her dad’s, I headed for the kitchen. When it comes to baking I’m sort of the lazy baker. I don’t have time for handmade pie crust because let’s be honest (it takes too long). So when I saw mini pre-made pie crusts in the store I…
We live in the Inland Empire (California) and when that summer heat hits it can make you dread life. It gets so hot and sticky that we don’t want to do anything…except whip up a few of these refreshing summer mocktails. We started making these last year in an effort to keep Reese occupied during the summer (this kid loves to be in the kitchen). I loved that they were super easy to make (so easy in fact she could do them on her own). They are healthy for the most part since most of them can be made with…
Lip Smacking Good Tangy Honey Mustard Oven Baked Bbq Wings I live for wings but the way I was dropping cash at Buffalo Wild Wings and Wing Stop was just straight up disrespectful to my bank account. I’ve seen a few recipes floating around Pinterest for Honey Mustard Oven Baked Bbq Wings but they all seemed a little off from what I was looking for (lack of seasoning cough cough lol). I played around with a few recipes until I came up with one I was proud of so I’m sharing it with you guys. During the summer months, we…
