COOKIN' AT THE KEYBOARD WITH SHELLEY
A Change is in the Wind Last month I planned a cooking session, did the shopping, and then discovered that our teenaged daughters had other plans for the weekend. "What could they be thinking?" I wondered. There was nothing else to do but adjust my plans to include our 10-year-old twins (and the 6-year-old who thinks she's 10, or maybe even 16!)
It was slow going compared to other cooking days I've known. For example, it took most of an afternoon to cook 20 pounds of ground beef. But the spontaneous exclamations of "This is so fun!" made up for the lack of progress. While the older girls could systematically create and complete a cooking session on their own, the younger girls were thrilled to be a part of the camaraderie we experience in the kitchen. I guess it's time to pass the baton and build a new team of freezer cooks.
While I'm in the mode of changing things, I thought I'd try a new approach to the newsletter. Instead of including detailed instructions for using the Advantage Cooking software, you'll see links to pages with a full explanation. I'm hopeful that this will help you find the information you need, without having to wade through a ton of text. Let me know what you think!
I use these as toppings for all kinds of salads. I also eat them plain, right out of the freezer bag. The glaze includes a unique combination of orange juice, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and mace. Watch out...they're addicting!

This salad includes Boston lettuce, bleu cheese, red onion, glazed pecans (see recipe above) and a raspberry vinaigrette dressing. It may not be freezer friendly, but it's a healthy addition to your table and your Advantage database.

If you've just purchased or downloaded the Advantage Cooking software, take a few minutes and run through these software tutorial exercises.
If you measure ingredients in metric units instead of English units, use these simple steps to get your software to start talking "metric".
Download a trial version of the software! It's free!
I received this email last summer from a fellow freezer cook. It's been several months since I published a newsletter, so I was never able to share it with you.
Thanks for writing, Jil. I hope that your husband has fully recovered and that your freezer is restocked!
