Ok So, I love fresh garlic. I love to peel and chop it myself. Well if you are like me when it comes to garlic, then you probably noticed garlic is not quite as fond of you as you are of it. What I am talking about is the smell the garlic leaves behind on your fingers after your hand chop it. Sure garlic smells great when you are sitting at a dinner table but its not so great to carry that with you everywhere you go. I have heard about all types of home made remedies for what I call "garlic fingers". But in trying these remedies, I found that unmistakable smell to still be ever so present. One day I finished chopping garlic for my dinner, and after washing my hands, I wanted to prepare myself a fruit salad to go along with it. I love pineapples so naturally I included one in my fruit salad. To my amazement. After I was done peeling and cutting the pineapple. That garlic smell which usually takes about three days to wear completely off, was gone. So there it is folks my natural remedy for curing "garlic fingers". PINEAPPLE. WHO KNEW?
PS: You could always just wear gloves. (smile)

Pasta Ordeals!
Hello Friends,
When I am not making my pasta from scratch, my favorite Pasta to cook with is Barilla! I swear by it. Everything I make with Barilla comes out perfect. I used to buy what ever pasta was the cheapest. But I wasted a lot of money doing that. If you could only see the many pastas I just chucked into the trash because they were horrible. Some of them even over boiled and fell a part after only being in the hot water for two minutes!!!!! Use Barilla. I promise you can't go wrong with it in any recipe.
This is my tip for the week.
Which Pasta is your favorite?
PS: NO. I do not get paid to say this. However it would be nice.

A Helpful Article I Wrote...

Are you tired of not being able to cook anything without a cookbook being by your side? Are
you tired of your food just being known as “alright?” Do you feel bad when your children brag about their friend’s mother who can cook so great, but when your children are at home, they hardly touch the plate of food you prepared? Let me tell you about three secrets to cooking that are sure to solve your problems. These secrets are confidence, knowledge, and creativity.
The first secret to cooking is confidence: If you have a lack of confidence in the kitchen, it will show up in your food. Your children and significant other will be able to sense you were unsure of what you cooked. Just like men always say… "One of the sexiest things about a woman is when she has a high confidence level". It is the same in food. If you cook with low confidence, the less sexy your food is going to be. Ordinarily confidence in the kitchen is something that you will gain over a lot of time and practice. You must also have thick skin to develop the confidence you will need to be a great cook. The thick skin is needed for your practicing stages. You are guarantee a season of time where no one likes the food you are preparing. But keep reading and I will tell you how to conquer all of this in no time at all.
The next secret to cooking is knowledge: If you do not have the proper knowledge of seasonings, spices, cooking utensils, or even how to buy quality meats; then how do you expect to create consistently mouth watering meals? You must gain the knowledge of what is best paired with what? Once you do this, you will be able to step into conquering the next secret to cooking, which is creativity.
The final secret to cooking is creativity: Creativity is not just limited to paintings and art
work. In order to be successful in any skill, you must be creative. Cooking is an art of its own. Once you posses the courage to be creative, you will enable yourself to create your own recipes thus freeing yourself from what I call “cookbook bondage”. Cookbook bondage is when a person can not cook a thing with out a cookbook being by their side. With your new found confidence, knowledge, and courage for creativity, you will not be afraid to create and combine different seasonings and edible items to make up unique delectable dishes.
Once you combine the three secrets of a home cook, over a long period of time, you will
develop into a great cook.
Q: Why does it have to be such a long period of time before I develop into a great cook?
A: Because you have to do the research in order to learn about seasonings, utensils, meats, etc.
Q: Whoa Research! That's a scary word! Who has time for that?
A: Research is indeed tiring and time consuming. What if I told you I Britnee Timberlake the head chef for a very successful catering company, wrote three e-books courses just for you. These courses are packed with all the research and years of trial and error where you by yourself would take ages to conquer.
From these easy to read e-book courses you will gain confidence, knowledge, and the courage to
be creative when cooking. When you read and put to practice all three e-books, you will surely become a cooking phenom in no time!
