Marinate Or Macerate? Definitions and a Recipe For Strawberries and Blueberries Steeped in Tea

As cooks become more experienced they learn new techniques and terms. I have been cooking for decades and have a pretty good understanding of both. But if you are still a stranger in the kitchen you many not be familiar with techniques or terms, especially similar ones such as marinate and macerate.

So what is the difference? When you marinate food you soak it in a liquid mixture to flavor and tenderize it. Teriyaki marinade is a good example. You can buy this marinade — a combination of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, cooking oil and ginger — but I do not think it is as good as homemade. In a word, homemade tastes fresher.

Drop Pounds Without Dropping Your Favorite Foods

A good Lifestyle Fitness Solution will help you incorporate the foods you love into your daily eating plan. In some instances they just may need a little bit of tweaking to readjust the macronutrient ratio. Macronutrients are Fats, Proteins, and Carbohydrates and in order to create an effective fat burning meal it’s good to have a balance of each. I eat in an iso-caloric fashion. I get 33% of my calories from carbohydrates, 33% from protein, and 33% from fat. This is very close to the Zone which is a 40/30/30 ratio but I cut the carb ratio slightly and bring balance to the force.

Shepherds Pie – What is the Authentic Dish and How do You Make It?

When my brother-in-law and sister-in-law are in town, my husband and I like to go out to dinner with them. We decided to go to a local golf club for comfort food night. My sister-in-law ordered Shepherds Pie, an historic dish made with lamb, vegetables, and mashed potatoes.

But this main course did not resemble the historic recipe; it had been Americanized. “What does it taste like?” I asked.

“It’s meat loaf with mashed potatoes on top,” my sister-in-law replied. “This is good, but it’s not Shepherds Pie.” Her comment made me curious about the history of the meal. I knew that Shepherds Pie is not a pie at all, but a meat casserole, or hot dish, as we say in my home state of Minnesota.

An Easy Meatloaf Recipe For A Busy Cook

There are as many meatloaf recipes are there are cooks. This one is my favorite, an easy meatloaf recipe that can be varied to suit your tastes. Start with the basic recipe and add seasonings from the list below to suit your family. You can vary the meats used and the seasonings.

To keep my meatloaf recipe easy, I use ground beef. Many cooks use a combination of ground beef, ground pork or ground veal. Some use sausage in their mixture. If you desire a mixture of meats, use 1/2 to 3/4 pound of pork, veal or sausage to 1 pound of beef. Using the seasoned Italian style bread crumbs seasons the meatloaf, making this recipe easy and quick to prepare. I don’t actually even measure anything. I just dump the ingredients together using a reasonable amount of each. If the mixture is too moist, add more bread crumbs. If too dry, add more ketchup. It really is an easy meatloaf recipe that is foolproof.
