I can answer questions that deal with everyday home cooking from roasts, BBQing, marinades, slowcooking, poultry, pork, beef, salads and vegetable dishes. The things I am not really able to help out on is desserts, fish and ethnic foods.

I can answer general cooking questions in regards to home cooking. I am the type of cook that can make a meal out of whatever you have in in your cabinets. When you see nothing, I see a meal. I know several things to do with chicken, beef and pork. My recipes and ideas are for the average person in the kitchen. You do not have to be an expert to make any of my meal suggestions I give you. I do not have any experience in cooking things such as duck or how to prepare frog legs. If it is a general home cooking question.. I am pretty sure I can answer it. If I can't I will do some research to find the answer. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to answer your questions and help you plan your next meal.

I specialize in waterless and greaseless cooking. I've found that it is common for people to buy specialized waterless cookware, which can be expensive, and become disappointed initially because they don't know how to use it properly. I can help these people get the best out of their investment in stainless steel waterless cookware. I specialize in waterless and greaseless cooking.

I'm very inventive and can improvise ingredients when the ones called for are not on hand. Baking cookies, pies, muffins and squares are my favorite, but have not perfected yeast breads. I'm skilled at home cooked meals and have a talent for making flavorful meals with spices and can stretch them for many people.

PLEASE, DO NOT MARK YOUR QUESTIONS AS "PRIVATE" AS WE ARE NOT SET UP TO RESPOND TO THESE REQUESTS. Cooking has been my passion for more than forty years, both professionally and at home. I welcome any cooking or food related questions, especially those concerning culinary techniques. My specialties are Italian and Puerto Rican cuisine, with skills in French and Southern style cooking as well. My nickname of “JimmyScones” came about from my love of creating flaky and delicious scones. I love researching food topics from my cookbook collection and on the Internet. Please ask questions on food preparation, cooking equipment, techniques, ingredients, recipes, and recommended cookbooks. Thank you and have a great day.

First of all, I LOVE to cook. I raised four kids and worked so quick and easy was very important. I can answer most any food/recipe question. Home style cooking is my favorite forum, but I also am knowledgable in sauces and some saute. Questions about food storage, food safety, quick and easy meals, cook ahead meals for freezing and hostess ideas are welcome here.

These types can be cut up and frozen on a tray, then placed in individual bags and kept in freezer. No real prep is necessary but they will be a little softer once thawed, pretty close to fresh though

2009-11-04 Chicken Francese:

Sure - you can freeze it if you don't cook it or add the sauce. You would need to freeze it at the stage where you have pounded the meat and then dredged in the flour and then egg mixture. At that point
