How to Prepare Frozen Fish

It’s not always easy to get to the market before dinner, especially if you work full-time, or have have children at home. It’s often easier to purchase food in bulk, place it in the freezer, and prepare it during the week.

How to Cook Vegetables

Have you ever bitten into a piece broccoli only to have it turn to mush in your mouth? Well, that’s what happens when you over-cook your vegetables. Not only do vegetables become unpalatable when they’re over-done, they lose most of their nutritional value when overcooked.

Grilling Fresh Fish

A lot of people are going to be having barbecues this summer- burgers and dogs will be thrown over hot coals, as will fresh fish, different cuts of meats, and there’s nothing like fresh grilled vegetables. It’s easy to get into a rut when cooking on the grill- the same old chicken and steaks can become boring, and if you have guests, you may want to spice things up a bit.

How to Grill Fish

Cooking fish can be difficult. It’s not like meat; if you grill a strip steak, and forget about it, it’s still going to be edible- not so with fish. If seafood is overcooked, even by a few minutes, it can become dry, tasteless, and unpalatable. Here are a few suggestions for cooking fish so that it turns out succulent, flavorful, and delicious.
