What Is Blanching? Blanching vegetables and fruits is a great method to preserve them and keep them for longer. It also cooks your vegetable perfectly to be added to salads, pastas, casseroles, pizza, crudites, omelets, and quiche. I blanch my vegetables before I freeze them, because the process slows down or stops the enzyme action which can cause loss of color, nutritional value, texture, and flavor. Another reason why you would want to blanch a vegetable or a fruit, is to easily remove the peel....

Eric’s sister Jessie is visiting this week for the holidays. Eric is at work all day, so she is at home with me and the kids. I keep worrying that she is bored, even though she has assured me that she’s not, like any good sister-in-law would do. Today our ancient stereo was malfunctioning; the part that holds the CDs was making this annoying little noise as it switched from one track to the next, trying to play a CD that wasn’t there....

Matar kulcha is made with dried white peas and served with a fluffy flatbread called kulcha, easily available in most Indian grocery stores....

Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram So we’re in the kitchen getting dinner ready. Eric and Charlotte are coaching Truman on how to treat bugs.

The tiniest (dare I say cutest?) little slug, waving its antennae at me. No bigger than my pinky fingernail....
Breading Chicken Breading the chicken gives it a crispy outside and a tender, juicy inside. The key is to pat the chicken dry before putting it in the flour mixture to give it just a light breading. Patting the chicken dry will also ensure that the flour adheres to the chicken and doesn’t clump off during the cooking process. The flour is lightly seasoned with salt and pepper and since the chicken was marinating, it will still hold the flavor and moisture of the sauce....
