Pork Chop Cooking Contest

I’ve seen lots of things in my days, but what I just did exceeds all imagination: I joined a cooking contest. Over the next 30 days, contestants need to cook one pork chop recipe a day, take photos of the process and of the end result, then send them via email together with the recipes to the contest organizers. The best ones are going to be published in a cookbook. I thought that was cool, but now I realize what I’ve just entered myself into: how on Earth am I going to come up with 28 pork chops recipes?

So I started to put together sites I can inspire myself from. So far I’ve chosen two sites:

http://porkchop.mydailyrecipe.com/ – I really liked a couple of recipes from this website and I do hope the author is going to publish more of them (that’s why they call it My Daily Recipe, I guess)
http://porkchopsrecipes.net/ – I liked the pork chop casserole from this one, so I’ve chosen it to be cooked next Saturday, when I have guests for dinner.

The list is open, I’ll let you know what other recipes I’ve selected for this cooking challenge. Amusing, huh?

Pulled Pork Recipes for Festive Dinners

I am looking for some new recipes for my festive dinners. I like a lot to throw parties with big occasions such as the SuperBowl or other sport events. My friends and I gather together, watch TV and have a great time. Now I’d like to try a new pulled pork recipe, something that I never tried before. It has to be surprising and delicious.

If anybody can help me, please use the comments box to shout out your best pulled pork recipes ever.

Ideas of Healthy and Creative Dishes

Today I have a big challenge to face: I can’t go shopping for groceries, so I need to use only what I have to cook tonight’s dinner. I’ve got celery, one or two carrots, half cabbage, three onions, a small head of broccoli, and chicken. I want to make something as delicious as pulled pork sandwiches, but without stir-frying anything. I wonder if pulled chicken would be possible to make.

What Is Healthy Cooking?

I want to make the shift to a healthier way of living. Cooking is one of the things I want to improve. Baking, braising, grilling/broiling, poaching, roasting, sauteing, steaming, stir-frying are common “healthy ways” of cooking I found in the net.  I’m confused so if you do roasting but your ingredients are unhealthy then the essence of healthy cooking is contradicted.
Ugh I dunno guys my mind is all murky right now and obviously having low IQ as of the moment so please help me define “healthy way of cooking”.

Healthy Recipes Ideas

I need to get on a healthy cooking, so I wonder what are some good recipes to start with. I hope they are tasty. My biggest favorites are pork chop casserole dishes, but I’m not so sure pork is a healthy food to eat. However, I must admin it’s tastier than chicken breast or turkey… or maybe that happens just because I don’t know how to cook them.

Student Healthy Cooking Ideas?

I consider myself to have quite a healthy diet already, eating a lot of fruit and cereals. However, I find myself cooking a lot of omelettes and baked potatoes for dinner because they are cheap and easy to cook. Does anyone know any recipes with similar characteristics that have more variety and are healthier? I’m tired of eating the same things over and over again.

Why Spinach and Artichokes Are Healthy Foods

As I’m always looking for healthy eating recipes, I discover new things to try every day. This is how I got to find these artichoke and spinach dip recipes that are really mouth watering, while being full of essential nutrients. First of all, spinach is an important source of iron and vitamin C, plus it also contains Magnesium, which is good for the mental health and for the general well-being. Artichokes are also sources of vitamins and minerals, so they help us stay in good health.

However, if these ingredients are healthy, it doesn’t mean that everything we cook with them is also healthy food. If you use lots of fats such as mayonnaise, if you eat lots of carbs with your spinach artichoke dip (by using bread as dipping, instead of carrot or celery sticks).

Healthy eating surely requires healthy thinking apart from those healthy ingredients like spinach and artichokes.
