Philosophy

I like to cook, but I don't like it to get complicated. The less ingredients I have to deal with, the better. I'm not very patient in the kitchen, so when I cook, I want it to come together fast. I also don't have a super-well stocked kitchen, so I've really just got the basics to work with. I don't use many exact measurements, but fortunately, most of these recipes are hard to mess up. As they say, baking is a science but cooking is an art.

How to defrost frozen ground beef in 2 minutes

This isn't a recipe, but it's a helpful tip when you need to defrost some ground beef fast. It works great for spaghetti sauce, taco meat, etc.
  • Remove ground beef from packaging and put it onto a microwave safe plate with a folded paper towel under the meat to catch the juice
  • Microwave on each side for one minute
  • Microwave on each side for 30 seconds
  • If there is still a frozen portion in the middle, pull away the defrosted pieces and finish off the frozen piece with 15 second increments.
