Family dinner success!
Hey Dewolla... sounds good. You may want to try Swanson's reduced sodium
broth. It has 33 -50% less sodium then regular broth and tastes pretty darn good. I used to eat it all of the time before I got burned out on it! "Dewolla Stepon" wrote in message news:eP5Wb.265504$I06.2850277@attbi_s01... Yay! I made a whole, healthy dinner for my family and I had no complaints! Mondays we have our daughter and her SO over for dinner. Yesterday I roasted a chicken seasoned with rosemary, mashed potatoes with no butter or salt, gravy from a can of nonfat chicken stock, steamed broccoli and a green salad. Everyone loved it! I've been trying to control the sodium we're eating (the diet software really brought to light just HOW much sodium I'd been consuming!) and except for the canned broth I did very well. I could have eaten the whole chicken, and in the past would've picked the carcass clean when everyone else was out of the kitchen and I was doing the dishes. Not this time! I had one drumstick, no skin, and filled up on the salad and broccoli. Had nonfat yogurt and an orange for dessert, yesterday was a good day! - Dewolla Stepon 262/253/199 |

I used to eat it all of the time before I got burned out on it! I'll look for it! thanks. It's amazing, having shopped for groceries for decades, how much I need to learn! Think I'll spend a whole day at the market and read labels! - Dewolla Stepon 262/253/199 |

Hello Dewolla,
Congrats on the successful dinner. If I could only learn to cook! Paul "Dewolla Stepon" wrote in message news:eP5Wb.265504$I06.2850277@attbi_s01... Yay!

It's all about following directions, preparation and practice. Now, there are some cookbooks that are better than others. I would suggest for the beginner or someone honing up on their skills the following: Joy of Cooking How to Cook Without a Book The Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook How to Cook Everything Those are a great start!

Hmm...I have my mom's from the 60s and then I have a newer one from just a few years ago. I like them both, so I would say the latest edition is fine. It's my very favorite cookbook, it really has everything and it exceptionally well-written. I collect cookbooks. I have over 400. Some of them are just a good read and not great to follow recipes. Some have awesome pictures and are more coffeetable type books. While others are greta cookbooks. JofC is the best. Martha |
