Everest Home Improvements
Despite what modern cooking shows might tell you, whipping up a gourmet meal isn’t just a case of slicing, dicing and measuring ingredients before throwing them into a pan. You can’t just turn the oven on and gaze wistfully out of your Everest windows until it emerges perfectly cooked. It takes a lot of knowledge and preparation to be a whizz in the kitchen, which is why Everest Home Improvements have produced this Kitchen Cheat Sheet to help you on your way to your first Michelin star!
Garlicky Baked Fries
I’m never going to make garlic potato fries any other way. These garlic fries, win hands down as the best garlic french fries I’ve ever made. Plus they are baked – so I won’t feel too guilty if I make it every time I’m craving for some potato comfort. When I read that there is garlic infused oil involved, my heart skipped a beat (in a good way, not the way oil would otherwise treat your heart).
** Roasted Potatoes with Red Peppers, Garlic, and Bacon
Roasting potatoes and veggies is one of my favorite ways to cook them, aside from grilling. The flavors gets concentrated and the outside gets crispy, just the thought of it makes my mouth water! I am so happy that I finally learned to love vegetables. I am sad it took me so long, I was missing out on so much! Of course if you throw a little bacon in there it doesn't hurt either right? But like I say, everything in moderation so as long as you aren't eating bacon with every meal (which I sooo could) you are doing fine.
Avocado Fries
Oh dear. I never should have done this. This may be one of my biggest mistakes all year.
Lunchtime Inspiration
It’s easy to stuck in a lunchtime rut. Personally I think you should ditch the sandwich and opt for an oh so Euro-chic bruschetta. Toasted sourdough piled high with delicious fresh flavours.
Sandwicherie
Instead of picking holes, eat them. •graham bread (two slices for each sandwich) •eggs •butter •ham •cheese •tomato •spring onion •mustard •salt •pepper Butter one side of each slice of bread. Toast bread on a slightly buttered pan. Cut holes in one slice of each sandwich. You can use 'holes' to make mini sandwiches.
My FAVORITE Chocolate Chip Cookie
I have experimented with countless recipes searching for that perfect chocolate chip cookie. The characteristics of the perfect cookie are a very personal matter, and here are my preferences: texture: chewy w. medium thickness --- everyone has their preference, and this is mine! chocolate to cookie ratio: 50/50 --- I really enjoy having a lot of chocolate in every bite chips vs. chunks: chunks --- I like sizeable pieces of chocolate in my cookie.
Loaded Baked Potato Rounds
I really wanted to call these rounds of potatoes, Chips. I know they aren’t chips-chips because the potatoes are not crunchy, but they look like chips. And if I ever had to tell you what my favorite potato chip flavor was, I would say Loaded Baked Potato Chips. Ever think about that; what would be your favorite chip flavor? But, like, one that is not out there, yet.
