SuperCook. Speed tip: Make individual portions in freezer bags. Although it might be nice if I were organized enough to plan out all of our dinners and my son’s bento lunches in advance, that’s never going to happen — not my style. I operate from more of the spur-of-the-moment approach to cooking, so it’s essential to have a well stocked freezer and pantry.

One drawback, though, is that if I’ve frozen food in big blocks, I can’t use just a bit quickly without defrosting the whole thing. Enter my Japanese-language freezing books . A standard tip for freezing ground foods or thick sauces in small portions is to first put the food into a large freezer bag and press it out as flat as possible, eliminating air pockets. (Making it thin speeds up defrost time due to the increased surface area, and pressing out excess air guards against freezer burn.) Tastydays - Recipes, Cooking Videos, Food Dictionary & Ingredients.

Video. Coloring Eggs. I wouldn't go hiding these around the house for your kids to find on Easter morning.

Coloring Eggs

They're probably better suited to just eating, or perhaps making a batch of really wild deviled eggs - something I'm thinking of doing with the next batch. I've been thinking about making these for a while. I'd seen recipes in a couple of my Asian cookbooks for Chinese Tea Eggs, a typical street snack found in parts of China. Basically what you do is hardboil your eggs normally, and then, when they've cooled enough to handle, roll the eggs around on a hard surface to crack them. You don't want to crack them too hard - you still want the shell to stay on the egg. The Absolute Cheapest Food Strategy in the Universe for the Starving Musician.

Asparagus Huevos Rancheros

As fate would have it, one day I was going through some of my older posts when I came across one of my favourite breakfasts, huevos rancheros, and inspiration struck! How about a seasonal take on huevos rancheros with asparagus? Huevos rancheros normally consist of lightly fried tortillas topped with a spicy tomato based sauce and fried eggs but with the asparagus as the inspiration I was thinking about something more on the green side of things. With green as the concept, I knew that I would be using a tomatillo salsa verde in place of the tomato based chili sauce. Crab Salad Stuffed Avocado. The other day, when we had crab, I also made some crab salad stuffed avocados.
