General cooking tips

Buy Seasonal Food : Most food, from fruit to fish, has a season -a time when it is abundant and at its best. Knowledge about food's seasons was once essential to survival and became culturally ingrained over the centuries. Today, we have all but lost this accumulated wisdom, but it still matters! Buy local and seasonal to guarantee the best quality food you can get.


Buy Local Food : If you were to turn back the clock 100 years, what would gardeners in your area be growing? Try regional heirloom varieties of garden standbys such as beans, squash, tomatoes and melons, which were selected for their flavors and reliability in the days when personal survival often depended upon a garden’s success. Appalachian “greasy” beans or creamy New England-bred butternut squash can help open the door to great flavors from the past.


Weight loss

The Atkins’ Diet
First invented by doctor atkins in the 1960s, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Although highly controversial, it supposedly allows weight reduction whilst encouraging you to eat many foods that are not normally available to dieters, like lamb and butter.
With the atkins diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that must be avoided. It is referred to as a low carb/high protein, diet system.
With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including, but not limited to, cereals and pasta made from white flour.
With this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil.

Ingredients And Procedures

6 Chicken breasts

1/2 c Butter milk

1 1/2 c Flour

1/2 ts White pepper

1 ts Salt

1 Canola oil for frying

Wash chicken breasts remove skin and visible fat,leaving the bone. Pat dry with paper towel. Pour buttermilk in shallow bowl. In second bowl, mix flour, pepper and salt. Put skillet on high heat and add canola oil about 1/2" deep.

Dip each breast in the buttermilk,making sure it is completely coated. Dip in the bowl off flour,turning to thoroughly coat both sides.Shake each piece to remove loose flour. Place chicken in the hot oil,flesh side down. When skillet is full,turn heat down to medium and let chicken fry until just golden brown and crispy,then turn and let second side get golden.Be careful when turning not to break the buttermilk crust. Reduce the heat to low,cover and cook 25 minutes.Check to make sure heat is not too high and chicken does not brown to fast. Remove lid and turn pieces over once more.Turn heat up-but not too high-- and cook a few minutes longer until crust is crisped. If crust on the sides of the breast is still soft and mushy,turn those pieces on their side in the oil for a minute or two so they can fry up crisp. Makes 6 servings.
