In the Kitchen...

I have been cooking lately, not very well, but I am trying. I have really been craving chocolate, especially chocolate cake! I didn't have all the ingredients, so I opted for brownies. Well, I didn't have any vegetable oil, so I used peanut oil. They came out weird. Not bad tasting, just very dense and dry. They did nothing for my chocolate craving though! I also made homemade BBQ sauce last weekend to use on ribs. The original recipe tasted too much like ketchup with lemon juice, so I spiced it up with liquid smoke, A-1 sauce, and chipotle spice. It was really good! The ribs slow cooked in the oven at 200 degrees for 7 hours and they fell off the bone! We have need eating a lot of fish lately. My favorite preparation is dusting the fish with blackening spice or Montreal seasoning and sauteing it in a little olive oil. It gets a little crust for so crunch. Very Yummy. Man wants to lose weight, so I am looking for healthier meals and lots of veggies. Did you know if you roast any veggie in a little olive oil and s&p-it's delicious???? This weekend I might do a beef stew, we'll see.
