Wow Chow Cooking

Yes, i know you’ve been waiting with baited breath, especially after reading my change of heart regarding the pepper! I made stuffed peppers for the first time this week. It’s taken me over 40 years to even TOLERATE a pepper in my kitchen, let alone EAT ONE. I searched the web for a while, looking [...]

This the first time I have ever made stuffed peppers. I have always hated peppers– even the smell of them would drive me, gagging, out of the kitchen. i must be getting old or something because now I can not only tolerate them, but EAT them! Oh what a waste all those spankings were. If [...]

I love Ramen but MAN is it full of sodium. Yuck! When I make it, I use only half a packet. It tastes pretty good and is not too salty… but Ramen is still not the most nutritious meal. :S I mean, a body could starve from malnourishmane eating only Ramen… you’d probably get more [...]

So we got an early spring. Which effectively quashed my cooking spree. I was a COOKING GAL, making stews and soups and roasts and making fresh broths and and and….. ….and *pop* it’s all gone. The weather has been downright balmy here in Upstate New York. Who wants to cook now?! Not me! My daughter [...]

I’ve been cooking for over 25 years now. One of my first dishes was beef stew. It’s taken me many long years to master the taste, but I have done it. Beef stew, meet perfection. Being the generous cook that I am, I will share with you my particular secrets. Be aware that every tip [...]

I have recently written a few articles about cooking for an online website, and found one of the topics, tomato salad, fascinating! It was interesting because, for one, I really don’t like raw tomatoes all that much and two, I learned a little about tomatoes that got my mouth watering. Here are some really neat [...]

You know, there’s nothing like a luscious, huge salad to perk up a girl’s day. This is what I served the family recently. It took a bit or work, all that cleaning and chopping and placement. But OH it was so worth it. I never liked salads as a kid, but maybe that was because [...]

HOT. Ugh. It’s summer! I hate running the oven in the summer. :-p So we’ve been using the grill a bit more often now. I’ve been trying to get creative but I’ve really been a tad lost these days. I’m busy with so many things that I neglect the cooking. BUT. Yesterday I splurged and [...]

I’m leaning towards skipping a vegetable garden this year. I’m quite discouraged about the yard after the flooding (again). You can read all the reasons here at my old house home improvement blog, I really don’t want to go over it all. So I think I’ll be relying on farmer’s markets this year. I’m not [...]

My son is so creative with his food sometimes. He made me oatmeal. Isn’t he so sweet? I tell him he should be a cook. Or maybe a car mechanic. That way, I won’t have to fork out the thousands to have my car fixed. Yeah. Too many young people want careers in computers today. [...]
