Tuesday Tips

Ever wonder how the chefs on TV look so together?
Yes, the education and training help but the biggest help--prep from a sous chef. A sous chef comes in before the show, chops, dices and measures and then places the ingredients separately in little containers.
Today, try to be your own sous chef! If you have a few moments this morning, dice up the veggies for tonight's meal. I sometimes go dice crazy and prep veggies for the the next 48 hours (I don't do longer or the veggies could get bad). True, you will lose some nutrients chopping so soon in advance but when you are finally able to put together dinner, it sure is nice to just drop in the pre-cut veggies. You'll feel like Martha Stewart!
I encourage you to try this with the following recipe. Just chop up the red bell pepper, mushrooms, garlic and tonight's dinner will be a snap!
