As 2012 began, I started off with 2 major food successes. In one day I made the best collard greens and fried chicken ever.
Here’s what I learned:
- Brining chicken is the best idea ever. (More on this topic in later posts.)
- Collard greens mixed with mustard greens are an amazing combination.
I’m definitely not a chef but have had the pleasure to see many of Atlanta’s best in action. I’ve watched my share of cooking shows and competitions and thought “I could never do that.” Then reality hits and I know that I, as well as most of you, are not trained chefs, but we all have to eat.
So many of us have made cooking a low priority on our To Do List. We grab fast food and take-out because it’s convenient and don’t take care of the inside of our bodies as we should. How much take-out and fast food can your health handle?
Today I challenge you to start using your kitchen as more than a storage room for take out containers, but to turn on your stove and cook! Cooking is full of failures and successes, but if you’re not willing to experiment, you’ll never figure out what works for you.
MaryJan’s Meal Plans is here to help you through your food journey. Ask questions! Share your successes and failures. I’ll definitely do the same and help you find the answers. This is for you; a hard working person just trying to make good food on your level.
Get your spatulas and fire extinguishers ready.
