Cooking

We've had to make life adjustments in the wake of last_bastion's heart problems. Mostly, they've just been a matter of timing, but ironically the most interesting one has been food

I am glad you enjoy cooking. Horribly, I don't, but thankfully I know how, and now know what to use for better heart health.

I also like your pre-prep idea. And something I've taken to doing is chopping up whole onions and bell peppers that I keep in a small baggy to use in my meals, since those are staples in everything from breakfast to dinner.

Yeah, my fridge is be-baggied right now. *smiles* Not all chopped at once, but the left overs from making food waiting for the next dish that wants something of their type in them.

If you find any really tasty recipes, please pass them on:D I love to try new recipes, and have been cooking at hoe a lot more often.

Oh, easily. We've discovered several recipes that we like so far. We're doing a salmon patties recipe tonight that's pretty spiffy... instead of the usual, it includes green onions, corn, and red bell pepper in the mix. It is definitely yummy, thoughI haven't figured out how to cook it without it falling apart.

I'll post the recipe up later. ;)

And last night's dish was a chicken with rice dish... wherein I found that fresh tomato cooked into your dish spreads this lovely taste all around it.

Mmmmm... Listening to you talk about cooking makes me hungry. :)

I don't think I'm going to get my garden off the ground this year. Next year... I'll put the money away and be able to go in mid April to buy the things I need. I might try growing bell peppers along with the herb garden I'm going to plant.

Do you have a slow cooker? I'm thinking of picking up this book, http://www.amazon.com/Fix-Forget-Lightly-Healthy-Low-Fat/dp/1561484318

Supposedly it has low-sodium stuff in it too, but they don't mention it in the books title. I'll give you an update whenever I get around to purchasing a copy :-)

[raenshadoe]

Yes indeed. *smiles* We do have a slow cooker. It hasn't seen much use yet, but it is in the apartment.

I love mine :-) It's awesome!

Its as much an enormously huge way for me to say "I love you" as it is a money saver - something lovely magical about turning 'ingredients' into completed dish.

You and me both... and I'll be sending something your way.
