Your Million Excuses

-

It gets me so annoyed to see how many people cannot cook and want to learn yet do nothing about it. Here you have a blog dedicated only to cooking tips and advice; you sit back read the blog and admire my posts yet create nothing of your own.

Did you know one of... if not the biggest money making business in the world is in  the food industry. Why? because it is something completely necessary. Ever living being needs food in order to survive. If you don't believe that, try staying without food for a certain period of time and see how you feel. You would die.

Food is all around us and something that we need way more than music, entertainment, fashion, beauty, cars and everything else in the book. Yet people take time to learn all of these sometimes irrelevant things and not how to cook. How can that be?

Not only do people die because of not eating but also because of eating junk.  If you are not cooking for yourself you are either eating out or letting others cook your meal. Leaving your health in their hands. By eating just anything you can become obese, get diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol to name a few.

Eating your own home cooked meals is of extreme importance and some don't recognize how ridiculous it is to not know or want to cook for yourself.


  • I don't like cooking, I am not a cooker - Because you haven't given it enough of a chance, if you think it is too time consuming there are various quick meals that can be made, the majority of meals can be made in 30 minutes especially if you are cooking only for yourself.
  • I hate being in the kitchen - find a reason to like it or cook meals for 2 days at a time so that you will be in the kitchen about 3 times a week only.
  • I don't know how to cook - Then learn, here on this blog you have a great opportunity. I am committed to helping you in the kitchen.
  • I am lazy to cook - snap out of it, if you have to use the bathroom whether you feel like it or not you have to go right? OK same with cooking it is not a want but a need


What is your excuse to not cook? You have none.  So please stop just looking and admiring my blog and instead learn something from it. Get up and start putting every post to practice and you will see yourself develop into a marvelous person and an excellent healthy cook.

    That's so true. People want everything good with no effort. There's a price for everything in life. Anyone can learn. It all depends if we're willing to pay the price. Some people like to seat back and wait for it to fall from Heaven. It just doesn't work that way.

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. ...

Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i...

Ingredients 2 cups hominy corn 1/2 cup evaporated milk 1 1/2 cups coconut milk 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup condensed milk 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/2 tsp nutmeg 2 tsp vanilla extract pinch salt How to make it: Soak hominy corn in water for a few hours or preferably overnight (If you are making this in a rush and don't have time to presoak your hominy corn. No problem it will just take a little longer to cook because soaking softens the corn.) Put your hominy corn in a pot with about 2 1/2 to 3 cups water and boil on medium high heat for about 30 minutes or until they are very soft that you can cut it with a knife or poke it with a fork. and the water is nearly gone Lower your heat to medium low and take half of your coconut milk and mix in the cornstarch to it until smooth.
