Easy Chicken Parmesan for Dinner
Monday, October 17th, 2011Our whole family loves Italian food, and this Easy Chicken Parmesan recipe is great for those times during the week when I don’t have time to make a big involved meal. A traditional Chicken Parmesan recipe calls for breading and frying the chicken breasts to give them a crunchy coating but that takes time and a lot of cleanup. This recipe skips the frying and goes right to the baking part.
We still add the same ingredients as the traditional method but without the crunchy chicken part. Everything cooks up in one pan and that is a great help on busy school nights. The kids really like this recipe and that is also a big help. I usually heat up some frozen garlic bread to go with it and everyone gets fed a great meal.
So if you are looking for other recipes like this then head on over to Easy-Chicken-Recipes.com. They have all kinds of easy to make chicken recipes you can make your family for dinner.

Ravioli making devices come in many forms and the device you opt for depends on the size and amount of ravioli you need to produce. The most prolific sort of ravioli makers is a ravioli mold.

This is Why I Love My Solar Oven
Thursday, October 6th, 2011I bought a solar oven for a recreational farm I go to on every weekend for the last five years. However, I tried this out first at my friend’s place. I made a pork dish with parsnips that was unbelievably delicious. The pork cooked right down to the bone but stayed very juicy. I also cooked chicken breasts for my kids. It also turned out very delicious. I even baked a few cakes for my kid’s birthday party. This solar oven will pay for itself over time and I am so glad I bought this solar oven for my family. I will be experimenting some more, including some brown rice, corn on the cop with no water, and some brownies which is my family’s favorite. So far everything I cooked turned out great. The only thing I could not cook would be French fries. But I would not miss it because it is not healthy anyways.
Having Great Tasting Coffee in the Morning
Thursday, September 22nd, 2011If you really want to enjoy some great tasting coffee in the morning, then you need to check out the Nissan thermos French press. It is by far one of the best French Press devices that you’ll ever find. Why? There are a few reasons – let me elaborate.
First of all, this French Press also acts as a thermos. That means that your coffee is made in the a container and kept in that container to keep warm. It uses a special stainless steel material and has doubled walled insulation so your coffee stays warm for hours. Next, it creates a bold tasting coffee because it is a French Press. Almost every coffee drinker that has tried automatic drip coffee and French pressed coffee will tell you that pressed coffee tastes much better. The flavor is more rich and bold and you will certainly feel the affects of the caffeine in a more intense way.
Logic or ProLogic
Sunday, September 18th, 2011If you are considering buying some cast iron cookware for the home you should realize there is no reason to have to spend a fortune on the very good quality Le Crueset range of French cast iron. Now you can buy some great quality cast iron cookware that is made in the States, Tennessee to be exact. Lodge cast iron cookware can be bought in two price ranges, either the Lodge Logic or the Lodge ProLodgic. Obviously the ProLogic will cost you slightly more but if you are only looking to be cooking at home or maybe on a camping trip then the Lodge Logic is more than adequate. Cast iron is as the name suggests heavy, so if you have weakened wrists or there is any other reason that you cannot take the weight of these pans then maybe you should look at the Stainless Steel range of cookware instead. But make sure you buy ones with an Aluminium core both on the bottom as well as the sides.
Cereal and Wine Are No Good Together
Tuesday, September 13th, 2011This morning I ate oatmeal for breakfast. When I was growing up my parents always liked to eat oatmeal in the morning, but I didn’t like it very much, and preferred cereal. I have never liked sugary cereals very much, but instead my favorite cereal has always been Cheerios. I was in the grocery store here recently and noticed that Cheerios, or anything comparable, do not exist here which surprised me since they are such a classic cereal.
I always like to eat cereal before doing activities or going on tours in Buenos Aires. Some of my favorite things to do in the city are tango shows, soccer games, and estancia visits. I actually remember reading not to long ago that cereal sales in general are down quite a bit in the United States. I wonder if that is true here in Argentina? The thing is that I don’t think many people eat cereal in Buenos Aires. Also, cereal is very expensive here, and it is all very sugary. The one cereal I like a lot here are the Quaker Oat Squares. They sell these in other countries too.
While I like cereal in the morning, I do not like to eat cereal at dinnertime. This is because I like to eat food that goes well with boutique malbecs, bonardas, and sometimes torrontes. I like to taste wine each night at dinner, as if I made my own great Buenos Aires wine tasting. I guess I have never had cereal with wine, but it doesn’t sound good to me. Maybe that would be a great new food pairing that could be used at wine tastings here in Buenos Aires, Argentina. These days I eat oatmeal though, which I think is healthier and also is cheaper than cereal. The major downside of eating oatmeal is that it takes longer to prepare than cold cereal.

Shelf Life of Liquid Malt Extract
Friday, September 2nd, 2011Unopened cans of liquid extract have a very long shelf life. Liquid extract may be usable for up to two to four yeas, but as with most perishable goods, the fresher they are the better result you will have when brewing your beer. If your can shows any signs of puncture or bulge, then you will want to discard immediately and brew with a new source of liquid malt. Six to eight months is generally the limit when it comes to the freshness of your canned liquid malt extract. Dry malt extract has a much longer shelf life if you keep it sealed and refrigerated. When stored correctly dry malt extract can potentially last for indefinite periods, but again, the fresher the ingredients the better the product. If you are looking to exchange your liquid extract for a dry extract, make sure you consult your Beer Recipes for instructions on how to do so properly.

To make the long story short, my guests loved the food that was served and they continually were asking me on how I managed to cook something so amazing. I was happy that I stumbled across their website.
