BROIL instead

Happy Mid-week foodies. So let’s talk healthy eating habits. There is something undeniably tasty about fried meat, but can I suggest an alternative? BROILING. I know! :), who would have thought. Instead of frying your chicken and meat, try broiling it in the oven. I testily it’s just like frying even healthier. Been broiling for 5 years now. The chicken here was cooked for 10 minutes then broiled at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

A perfect day includes watching the cooking channel or food network

You’ve ever taken any cooking class
Thinking of a juicy steak makes you drool

You have more than one pot in your cabinet
You grow your own tomatoes and herbs
