Looking for My Happy Place....
I found the hardest thing to master when I first got married was having everything be done at the same time.

The best thing about cooking is it is as personal as you want it to be. If you want to experiment, go for it! If you feel safer with a recipe, that's just fine.


Cooking is fun and easy - and rewarding - if you want it to be. For me it's a haven and sure fire stress reliever!

Good Luck, Kitt! smile

I thought someone did way back in the beginning. Love Lawry's. Use it in all kinds of things.

Kitten, what's the push for the spices and cooking? Got a new audience for your cooking?

And Tigg's right. Knowing what to cook when is the tricky part.

I measure a lot. I'm not much of a cook without recipes.

If I'm following a recipe I always measure. If I'm experimenting, I don't. When I bake fish - I love to experiment. Same with stir fries.

A lot more of my experiments end up horrible than great, so I gave up. Maybe some day I'll try it again. Hubby thanks me.

The trick to successful experimenting is to take a dish you know well and put a twist on it. For example, take a basic chicken marsala recipe and turn it into chicken with port sauce or a red wine reduction. Start with small changes. smile

I think I will stick with peanut butter and honey sandwiches.

That I can handle.

I need a good recipe for Saturday for fish. Either tilapia or salmon or haddock I think. Any suggestions Becca?

I've tried making changes to casseroles, which you know are hard to mess up, and it never works out. I'll stick to measuring.

I once put a whole block of extra sharp cheddar in a casserole, and the thing was flavorless. That's when I gave up on experimentation.

You always have to try a little at a time Ops. Then keep notes (which I always forget to do) crazy

Can you get fresh Redfish up there Chilly?

Tilapia and haddock are cat foods.

Don't think so Pale. I don't recall seeing it. Maybe some salmon it it's not too pricey.

I'm my new audience. I realized yesterday that, quite without trying, I haven't eaten any processed/prepackaged "food" since the beginning of the year, and I want to keep it that way. The only way to do that is to make it myself.

I've done good eating since the 2nd. I was going to start the 1st, but I was too hungover. All I wanted was Taco Bell.

Down 7 pounds, yeehaw!

YAY Ops!!

I had been thinking about it, but didn't know if I could go fully with no processed food. I knew I was eating better, but hadn't realized to what extent.

Nope, not really a fish person. Maybe RR Joker will stop by though - I think they do a lot with both tilapia and salmon at her house.

FINALLY ABOVE the gnat line
If you have "The Joy of Cooking" cookbook, they have a really good recipe for Orange Roughy - which is similar to Red Snapper without as much fat. It could probably be translated to other fish.
