Cooking Class

Our first cooking class will be held on March 26th at 7 pm at Waterways conference room. We're hoping to help others deal with this 'new' economy we have, learning to live within our budget, make do with what we have, save while shopping, and over all, to be content with what this day is holding for us. We'd love to have you join us, and bring a friend, too! you can sign up at Carebeth@rosewood-design.com by Monday, March 23rd.

On a cooking note, it's so fun to see how to stretch the food. Literally, there are ways to make it stretch... like rubber band! What you think will cover so much, suddenly, by adding some inexpensive ingredients, you see it covers much more! This morning I was making scrambled eggs for the family. Normally I use 15 eggs.. today, I wanted to try to cut down. I put 8 eggs in the bowl, added milk, salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder. Mixing it well, I poured it into the pan in which I had warmed up the last of a turkey breast ( about 1/2 cup) and about 1 cup of leftover rice. After cooking it up till the eggs were firm, I spread some grated cheese on top and served with some homemade english muffin bread. Everyone thought it was great! no one noticed the rice! Yes!

Get creative! "Think outside the 'cookbook'. You'll be surprised to find that so many healthy foods can be added into your normal menu to make them much more reasonably priced - and often much better tasting!
