Being open and experimental with cooking.

Being a fighter you do have to pay attention to your weight. Trying to be conscious of what I am putting into my body, yet still being able to eat something with differing tastes is always a challenge. So every now and then I will post a recipe, or just post something I added to a meal to make it more enjoyable. The majority of my meals consist of chicken, broccolli, and quinoa (http://www.buzzle.com/articles/quinoa-nutrition-facts.html.). This monday I had a chicken breast, with some quinoa for lunch. I prepare my lunch a night in advance, and after over cooking my chicken I noticed I had run out of soya sauce. It is very high in sodium, I know, but you do need a little bit of flavour in there. I needed to add something to my meal. I should have started this blog post off with a little background on my inherited eating habits. I grew up watching and eating my fathers cooking, and damn can he cook. He just...well he is very open to ingredients, for example. There is no such thing as mixing two individually good flavours and ending up with a poor result. It's simple mathematics after all, 1 good food + 1 good food = 1 delicous meal. So we would have things like, soya sauce on popcorn, or soya sauce instead of pasta sauce on a traditional italian style pasta. No milk? No worries, a little water to moisten your cereal and you're even better off. So there I was in the kitchen looking for something to add to my chicken, and the blueberries in the fridge just seemed revolutionary. I was onto something. I made 3 small incisions in my already overdone chicken, jammed the blueberries inside and put it back in the oven. 5 minutes later it was done. The berries had heated to the point of bursting, releasing juices throughout the chicken breast and returning it to a succulent texture. The combination of the sweet berries and the... chickeny chicken were.... well they were half decent at the time, but when they both cooled down it was nothing short of gross. I drank each and every bite down with a mouthfull of water.

So remember, just be inventive in the kitchen and you never know what average tasting things you can come up with!

You're welcome.

    I do appreciate your commentary on mixing foods as I had nothing in the fridge the other day when I got home from serving at a bar and decided to cook canned beans with pesto...and it was nothing short of miraculous geniality.
    You're welcome.
