Cooking is therapy



I find the most delightful pleasure in cooking! Tonight I was hungry, and yes we had Martin's chicken but I wanted some vegetables. So I thought, "what would Katina do?" So I made 3 veggie dishes. Green beans with sauteed mushrooms and red onions, steamed white corn, and steamed sweet baby carrots. All with SEASONING!! Over the year, yes year, that I've explored the cooking journey, I've learned that seasoning is the key when cooking vegetable as well as olive oil. Rinse and drain your frozen green beans and season. (Tip: Frozen veggies have more nutritional value.) I personally like cooking my green beans in a wok. Preheat the wok and add olive oil, then place your seasoned green beans in the wok. You basically "stir fry" for about 10 mins. Add more seasoning as you go (use your best judgement) One of my favorites thus far has been Mrs. Dash Onion and Herbs, Tomato and Basil, and of course the Original. Other various seasonings that help me too like Garlic and Onion powder and a little salt and pepper.






Oh the possibilities of your recipes if you season appropriately! Katina and Ronni came home late and were absolutely amazed by my green bean recipe :) I tried to tell her last week how I learned how to cook from her but she denied and humbly said "no, the Holy Spirit taught you". However, tonight after tasting my green beans, she took responsibility of the fact that she taught me. I can't wait to get my hand in some other cooking projects!!
