Deborah I had a good friend that makes really good beer.
I asked him about me doing it.
He told me to not get started because a person like me would get good at it and that would NOT be good.

Deborah, I'm the laziest 'cook' I know. So as logic goes, a caretaker and mommy of 4 adorable wabbits you ought to do better than me.

Have you posted photos of MOOLBEAR and his siblings?

Somebody remembers Moolbear's name! That's so cute! I still haven't tried learning how to post pictures. Worth, beer? Ewwwwww!

I dont even have snack food in the house.
Not because I am some sort of health snob it is because if I have it I will eat it.
If I lived across the street from a store I would get up right now and go get a pint of ice cream a coke a candy bar and a big bag of chips.

Worth, Cheese + anything is good food. One of my favs is sauté any kind of peppers in olive oil, then put over slice of sourdough bread and eat with a large chuck of sharp cheddar cheese.

Today I made my first stir fry. I've been craving vegetables lately. I bought zucchini, red bell pepper and snap peas. I didn't think of mushrooms.
I was almost out of oil so I used some coconut oil I have for dry skin. I've shied away from frying with it because I thought it'd make everything taste like coconut. But it didn't and for once I didn't burn what I was cooking. Delicious! The perfect crispness!

Well done, Deborah! A stir fry is a somewhat complicated dish. You are really coming into your own.

Thank you! I'm going to heat up the rest and dump it over a chicken breast. So THAT'S what the coconut oil thing is-it doesn't burn? It bubbled up and looked like boiling water but it didn't smoke. The vegetables are PERFECT, crisp but tender and savory.

Very cool Deborah

Need more hot peppers in the diet.

I eat them every day of my life.

Yes, it doesn't smoke! There are 3 oils that are the best for cooking because of their high smoke point: Coconut, Avocado, and Peanut

The current healthy thinking is to cook with only those 3, and yes have EVOO, but only raw like on salads. Also, use butter rather than margarine, much healthier.

Yes, coconut oil is great for things like stir frying. As you probably noticed, it has a really strong coconut smell when it's heating up, but it really doesn't give the food a coconut flavor. I use it for all my high heat sautéing and stir frying, and olive oil for everything else.

Keep exploring and trying new dishes!
