Homemade TV Dinners

-
What an interesting and yet genius idea. My mom gave this idea to my sister and I absolutely fell in love with it. Many people say that they are too busy to cook on a daily basis or are not so motivated to cook often. So why not when you do feel motivated go into the kitchen and cook a really nice meal. Something you enjoy eating or a new recipe; but just cook a little extra, a little more than what you would need. Package it properly in an airtight container and freeze it with a label of what it is.

Then whenever you are hungry or in a rush to work, school, church just simply grab it from the freezer and throw it in the microwave and enjoy... Just like you would do with a TV dinner. except this way is a million times healthier, tastier and cheaper than it would be to buy daily TV dinners. Do a few different meals for each week or two and you are good to go.

3 steps

  1. GRAB
  2. MICROWAVE
  3. EAT
How convenient, for all of you fast paced viewers. Life is always on the GO,GO,GO...
Try this, cook  once or twice for the entire 2 weeks and freeze everything. This prevents it from spoiling and keeps you with a fresh delicious, homemade meal every time.

P.S. check out my mother and sisters blogs also. Very helpful...

God Bless

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. F

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? 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.
