One skill that I believe every man should have is cooking. Gone are the days when the women are expected to prepare meals and know how to cook. Gone are the days where men can be too proud and not enter a kitchen to prepare a meal. In our current time, cooking is a skill that must be mastered, by both men and women, but I'll be honest...if a man can cook, women really like that.


On my page I'm going to share some of my favorite recipes. I've gotten recipes from all over; websites, cook books, family recipes, or even a few from my days working in the Service Deli at Costco when things were actually made, and not just "put-together," from scratch.


So I hope you enjoy some of the things that I share. I'll try to link recipes if I get them from somewhere online, or provide any personal recipes to the best of my abilities. So check back every so often for some new things. Or, if you have something that you'd like me to try out, send it to me, and I'll give it a try along with a review.

Caprese

Homemade Caprese
A simple to make salad that will just knock the socks off of just about anyone. If you plan on having some Italian themed meal, try this starter out. Its made very easily with some mozzarella, tomatoes, basil and salt.


Needs:
1 lb Mozzarella
3-4 vine ripen Tomatoes
10-20 fresh Basil leaves
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
Balsamic Vinegar (optional)


Directions:

  1. Slice the Mozzarella and Tomatoes into 1/4" slices.
  2. Place the Mozzarella and Tomatoes down alternating between the two with a basil leaf in between them.
  3. Add some Salt and pepper to taste and drizzle some Extra Virgin Olive Oil on top and serve. If you like, you can also add the Balsamic Vinegar on top as well.
Easy to make, and you'll look like a pro in the kitchen...
