Food 101: How to Dredge Chicken
You’ll see a lot of recipes calling for you to “dredge” your meats prior to cooking them. Of course the word dredge brings to mind imagery of large industrial machines scooping out mud, garbage, and dead whales from the bottoms of harbors. Yes, that is what dredging technically is, but fortunately it has an alternate meaning in the cooking world.
“Thank God.” ~Every person who’s ever eaten chicken francaise.
Cheat Codes: Growing Your Own Herbs (the legal kind)
I think it’s safe to say that as a general rule, people like it when their food tastes good. One easy way to achieve this is by using herbs and spices when you cook. Unfortunately, going to buy dried herbs and spices is often a traumatic experience because of how expensive so many of them are. Though I suppose it’s not all that shocking considering that it was the spice trade that ruled the world for awhile, and even led to the discovery of our country (that would be America). For the most part you’re stuck turning to others for your spice supply needs, but luckily herbs are nice and easy to grow at home.
This yummy chicken dish was made using homegrown herbs.
Snack Report: Wholly Guacamole 100 Calorie Packs
Do you love avocados and guacamole as much as I do? Of course you do, they’re delicious! Avocados are great because they’re both tasty and good for you since they’re full of the good kind of fats as well as vitamins C, E, and K. The main downside to avocados (and therefore guacamole as well) is that they oxidize and get all brown and mushy super fast after being cut in to. That means you usually have to use all of an avocado at once, and finish guacamole fairly quickly after opening it. And sometimes, you just want a little bit. This is where the Wholly Guacamole 100 calorie packs come in.
