Some kids like to help you cook in the kitchen but they don’t understand the ingredients, especially the herbs. At first, a kid learning to cook is all about learning to follow directions and doing each step in order. They’re figuring out how to be organized and hopefully how to clean up after themselves. Along the way they also pick up what words like “sift” and “simmer” mean. Plus they learn skills like how to drain noodles through a colander or how to knead bread dough.
It seems like one of the last things they learn is how the ingredients all work together and when they can deviate from the recipe a little. An excellent way for your kids to experiment is with herbs. For more details please go to www.july4-recipes.com. Herbs can make a dish go from so-so to wonderful and if your chef learns about them when they’re young, there’s no telling what great meals they’ll cook for you through the years.
Here are some ideas for getting your kids to play with herbs:
1. Fresh mint is a wonderful herb for kids because it smells so good and there are many different things they can do with it. They can simply put a few sprigs in a glass of water, iced tea, or lemonade for a hint of mint taste. They can chop it up small and put it in their yogurt or ice cream, or include it in muffin batter. Probably the funniest for kids is to make mint ice cubes. They just put small leaves of mint into the ice cube tray, add water, and freeze.
Take your children to a plant nursery in spring and let them smell all the different kinds of mint. It’s a really easy herb to grow – but plant it in a pot because otherwise it will spread through your garden like crazy.
2. Your kids can make herb butter. Put 2 sticks of butter out in a bowl at room temperature to soften. Then add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, cut up parsley, and some minced garlic cloves. Let the kids mash it all together and then stick it in the fridge. It can be cut into squares and served with warm bread or hot pasta.
The kids can experiment with other herbs in the butter if they smell like they go together and don’t have too strong a smell. You can also login on to www.apples-recipes.com. Rosemary probably wouldn’t be a good candidate as it has a very strong smell.
3. A good place for rosemary is in bread dough, along with sage and parsley. Adding herbs to the bread dough and then kneading it is a fun hands-on experience for kids, and they really get the full effect of the herbs when the bread is baking because the smells are intensified. Ask your kids to tell you which of the herbs they smell from the baking bread.

Cooking a turkey breast in red wine cream sauce with mushrooms including sherry, honey, lemon juice and cream with lettuce.
As much as people wanted to consume food whenever they want to, gaining weight is a big consideration. This is why numerous food recipes have flagged the market, all purporting to be healthy and diet-friendly. However, not all these foods are actually good for the body. Some contain high caloric value even though they appear to be full of nourishment. The person is left then to decide which the real deal is.
To guide the health-conscious people out there, here are healthy cooking recipes that contain diet friendly foods:
Grilled Brocolli
To prepare, mix lemon juice, oil, a little salt and pepper and pour the mixture over the broccoli. Wait for 30 minutes before placing it in the grill. Brush the grill first with cooking spray. Place the broccoli inside a plastic bag, add some cheese and shake vigorously, ensuring that the broccolis are well-covered. Grill the broccoli over medium heat.
Stir-Fried Thai Chicken
Although chicken contains fat, one can still devour it when the part is carefully chosen. Pick the thigh part since this contains less fat. In high heat, put oil in the pan. One by one, add garlic, ginger, and the chicken. Stir well. After the chicken is a bit cooked, add the onion, red and green pepper, ginger, and sugar to taste. Stir until cooked. Finally, add the oyster sauce and peanuts. Mix well.
It is important to note that not all greens and beans are ready for everyday consumption. Some are high in protein and salt content which may prove dangerous if taken in large servings. Moderation is the key here. Thus, it is perfectly fine to eat meat and sweets once in a while. Dieting, after all, does not just rely on the amount of food eaten but on the quality as well.

www.cookingrecipestv.com – When it comes to bread with dinner it is always olive tapenade for me. No Butter. No olive oil (out of the bottle anyway) – tapenade! Want to know the definition of tapenade? This “how to video recipe” explains what tapenade is and how to make it. Tapenade originates from the south of France where it is used as a condiment often in place of butter or olive oil. Ingredients often include olives, herbs, lemon juice, capers as well as anchovies. My version is simple and easy to make with the help of a food processor and contains only five ingredients: – olives – garlic – Italian parsley – olive oil – fresh ground black pepper Enjoy, Chef Brian cookingrecipestv.com
