Why not my way?

December 23, 2016 by Finite Foodie

Recently we were discussing how to celebrate the holiday season, sparked by an article regarding an individual who was struggling between doing the holidays her family’s way or her husband’s family’s way. She finally decided to do it her way!  That made us think: Why not do the holidays the Finite Foodie way?

You may be asking yourself, now what exactly does that mean? It means making the holidays your own! For us, this means bringing our Finite Foodie personalities to the table.

And don’t forget to ask friends and/or family to bring a dish to your holiday meal! (Especially if you have a couple of items you’d like to make that require the same pan or baking dish, or if someone insists on bringing meat.)

KITCHEN ESSENTIALS

Our concept for the Finite Foodie® has these simple goals in mind —

1. To provide simple, clear steps for setting up your first, probably small kitchen with a minimal amount of equipment and investment.

2. To teach you cooking basics,  terminology and terms, and common conversions and equivalents.

3. To inspire you with healthful, easy recipes.

When we simmer a chicken in water (see our recipe for Slow Cooked Chicken) we end up with a pot full of rather bland chicken broth. No problem! Once we’ve removed the meat, we add the carcass back to the broth, throw in some vegetables and make a rich and complex bone broth. You can…
