Chicken Madeira

By on June 27, 2011 in Making Dinner

Why are so many of us asking, “what’s for dinner tonight?”

My way of cooking is unique from anything on the market today and answers the question “what’s for dinner tonight?” with the answer- “What’s For Dinner This Week”. My signature recipes create healthy, delicious meals using my unique algorithm that plans and organizes family dinners to reduce waste while saving time at the grocery store and in the kitchen. The Weekly Meal Plans include menus, grocery shopping lists, cooking instructions with time and money saving techniques.

Subscribers to The Organized Cook know what’s for dinner this week and Chicken Madeira is at the top of the menu.

Reincarnating The Leftover

Nobody likes to eat leftovers.  Last night’s London Broil may have been fabulous.  But, when you slap the label “leftover” on it, the appeal is lost.

However, when that same London Broil is reincarnated into Philly Cheese Steak Subs, you have a super simple and tasty dinner recipe.

Reusing Preparation Time

Another cooking technique I use to save tons of time is reusing my preparation time.  When I saute chicken breasts on Monday night for my gourmet Chicken Madeira, I saute a few extra diced chicken breasts to store for Green Coconut Chicken Curry.

With just this one step I’ve saved myself cooking and preparation time later on the week.

Sorry, Julia. We Moms Don’t Have the Time.

By on April 4, 2011 in Saving Time

Did you have a chance to see the movie Julie and Julia?  It is a great movie about a modern-day girl, Julie, cooking her way through Julia Child’s famous cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking.

I have cooked many recipes from this book and it’s an all-day event.  The dinners are fabulous, but this type of cooking is just not practical for us modern-day busy moms.  For many of us, gone are the Julia Child days when stay-at-home moms had all day to prepare a fabulous French dinner while sipping highballs, smoking a cigarette and watching Days of Our Lives in our pearls.  Today, our lives are busier than ever. What Julia Child did in the mid-1900s by bringing fabulous French cooking to the housewife, I aim to do by bringing clarity, simplicity and organization to the busy modern-day mom in The Organized Cook™.

 

 

Rat-a-tooow-eee

Ratatouille.  I made this vegetable dish and loved it.  Unfortunately, incorporating this gourmet recipe into my weekly meal planning as a side dish wasn’t practical because it took up too much of my time.  So, I figured if there were a way to combine a ratatouille into a main dish with a steak or chicken- and add a few short-cuts- it may work.  What I got from my culinary  experiment was one of my family’s favorite dinners: Toni’s Ratatouille Pan-Simmered Steak.  I didn’t even use seasoning with this dish because after it has simmered for an hour with eggplant, zucchini, peppers and tomatoes, it has such a fresh flavor.

I’ll keep experimenting in the kitchen on new family dinner favorites while finding new ways on how to save my valuable time and money at the  grocery store.  Learn more about how The Organized Cook™ can help you.

Family Dinner: Planning Ahead

By on February 13, 2011 in Saving Time

When it comes to cooking family dinner, planning ahead will save us time and money.

At a recent presentation with a room full of busy moms, I asked how many of them made daily trips to the grocery store for family dinner due to lack of planning.  All but a couple raised their hand.  “Just think of all the time you could save”, I said, “by just having a plan.”

Unfortunately, many of us simply do not have the time it takes to do the planning and organization; but then we end up spending more time in the end scrambling for last-minute solutions- not to mention- more money.

If you’re one of those busy moms, and want to save time and money on your family dinners, let The Organized Cook do the planning for you.
