Any cooking tips out there?

[CoolBreeze22]

I'm tired of ordering pizza, mexican, chinese, KFC and McDonald's on a nightly basis and need to start cooking. I can make some spaghetti but that's about it. Does anyone have some cooking tips or a good site to find some easy recipes so I can eat a little healthier? Thanks.

ps- somehow I think I'm probably not the only person who could use some help in this area.

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Grilling Tricks and Tips

[/font]

• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]To ensure thoroughly cooked, yet moist, pork ribs, try boiling them first (generally about 15 - 20 minutes). After boiling place them on the grill and liberally baste with your favorite sauce. Allow to cook on the grill long enough for the sauce and the flavor of the grill to come through.
  
  [/size][/font]
• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]If you don't have a smoker... Your local store probably carries wood chips specially prepared for grilling. Follow the simple directions for use to help achieve that great smoked taste.
  
  [/size][/font]
• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]If you don't wear a watch, keep a small portable clock or timer near the grill. Overcooking your meat dries it out and reduces it's flavor. On the other hand, don't under cook your foods. Raw meats carry bacteria that may make you ill when ingested.
  
  [/size][/font]
• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]When you bring raw meat outside for grilling, never place the cooked meats back on the plate you used to carry them outside. Bring a clean plate or baking sheet outside for carrying finished food back inside. (note the above tip)
• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]Never run out of propane again. Keep an extra tank fuel on hand at all times. If you stock two tanks your event won't be spoiled by having to suddenly run out to refuel. The grilling can go on by simply switching tanks. (remember to refuel the empty)
  
  [/size][/font]
• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]When B-B-Qing chicken with a tomato based sauce, grill the chicken without the sauce until it is halfway cooked, then baste with sauce. This keeps the sauce from burning onto the chicken and ensures maximum flavor.
  
  [/size][/font]
• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]Quick and easy marinades: In a large plastic freezer bag, place 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, one teaspoon of oil, and a dash of water. Close the bag and shake well. Add chicken pieces, shrimp, or vegetables and shake again. Bottled Italian salad dressing is also a good quick marinade.
  
  [/size][/font]
• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]Great with a steak... Cut a red onion in half and blot cut halves on a paper towel to soak up moisture. Place the cut ends face down in soy sauce. Leave a few minutes. Grill next to steaks.
  
  [/size][/font]
• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]Wrap potatoes in tinfoil and place them among the charcoal while you grill the rest of dinner. When potato is about 3/4 of the way cooked remove the potato, slice it open and add a slice of onion. Then return it charcoal to finish cooking.
  
  [/size][/font]
• [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]When making hamburgers, impress a thumbprint in the middle of both sides of each burger. This keeps them from bulging up while cooking, and they'll cook more evenly this way. [/size][/font]

Heres a good one for you. I recently did my student teaching at an elementary school in a little town east of Detroit, Port Huron to be exact. Anyways, the school decided to make a cookbook to sell to help raise money for new playground equipment. The students were asked to bring in family recipes to include in the book. Well one day a little girl came up to me and said "I have a recipe. It is my grandmas secret recipe." So she handed me a sheet of paper and went and sat down. At the top of the paper it said,

Grandma McPhersons Rabbit Stew
​

1 cup carrots
1 cup patatoes
1/2 cup onions
1 can of corn
1 rabbit

Now doesn't that sound tasty. I'm not sure if they ended up putting it in the book or not. But I'm passing it on to you.

I used to have a pet bunny named Bailey until he died a few years ago. He was butterscotch coloured and had one ear up and the other down like a lop. He used to hop onto my lap or onto my book if I was reading and lick my face until I scratched between his ears. Slept alongside my cat even. Cutest damn pet I've ever had.

Enjoy your stew.
