I’ve decided to cancel Tip Tuesdays. It’s been difficult coming up with topics, especially since I believe you can easily find my tips elsewhere on the web. So, no tip this tuesday…. Not that I think anyone will notice. I have yet to come up with a topic of blogging yet. This is sort of frustrating!
Till I figure it out. Have fun out there in web-land!
Tip Tuesday: Unboring Rice
15 Jul 2009 Leave a Comment
To mix things up a bit with my rice, I like to add other grains in with it. I add quinoa, amaranth, and/or pearl barley. It changes the texture and flavour of the rice a little and gives it a different and interesting texture. I usually add the quinoa and amaranth if my meal is low on protein, as these grains are rich in protein.
Tip Tuesday: Use Your Slow Cooker to Make Stock

Save the bones from your roast, be it chicken, beef, pork. Place in slow cooker with various vegetables (I like onions, celery and carrots) and whatever herbs tickle your fancy. Cover with water, turn on and walk away! strain and freeze stock in ice cube trays for further use.
This sure beats watching a simmering pot for a few hours.
