Soups
Soup is a liquid food consisting mainly of broth and meat,seafood or vegetables and in America we think of soup as a appetizer in many other countries it is served as a complete meal. Soup is a easy way to start to cook if you think you won't know what to do first, because you can put anything you want in the liquid and simmer, sit down and enjoy the afternoon and serve the soup at dinner. Wala, your a cook...

Salads and Salad dressings
Salads as we know them today are truly American but they did not really invent it. We Americans have made the salad very popular, especially with the women. They are dainty, and colorful, and they are eye-appealing which makes a lot of sense we eat with our eyes first, and they complement most meals and can be used as a entree (main course) or a side salad with other foods.
1. Fruit salad
2.Vegetable
3. Leafy green
4. Meat
5.Seafood
6.Gelatin

Herbs and Spices
Herbs and spices play a major part in any food preparation because without them most foods would be quite bland. The proper use of spices and herbs is a art that can only be acquired by frequent practice, and it is a way to create different and more exciting foods and that is what the general public is searching for today. Herbs and spices, like cheese are as old as civilization
1. Herbs and spices should be used to enhance natural flavor not disguise it.
2. Always season in moderation, more can be added, but none can be taken away..
3. If your foods require a long cooking time and you are using ground spices add to the end of
your cooking if you are using whole form, add to the start.
4. I'll will list the herbs and spices you should have on hand (always) in the back of the book.
5. Number 2 is the most important one to remember..........

I have and so has a good friend of mine, been looking for a 100% Gluten Free cook book with not good results, it seems that the recipe books have some recipes that are gluten free but I would like to see a gluten free cook book all (Gluten Free)... So I will show you what a 100% gluten free cook book looks like. Every page you look at is there for you health, so you go for it. Start your 1st day on your gluten free 1 week trail by getting the breakfast you would eat out and just look at it, is there flour in it at all? you answered yes to yourself, the toast, the muffin or that bagel, well get rid of it... have a extra piece of fruit or a cup of yogurt. You will never know that you didn't have that piece of toast you will be so full and without that pasty feeling you get from the (gluten) hence the word (glue). People seem to think that it is real easy to just get gluten free food, but a lot like the old saying you can't judge a book by its cover, that is so true. Please don't be fooled... It just takes that one meal that was told to you was gluten free and something in there was not, now you feel yuk (E) but there is nothing you can do about it. Keep your head up high and you will find that you are feeling better and better each day by taking out the flour (wheat) from your diet, it will show and you won't believe it at first and it becomes so easy to stay happy and much healthier.

Eggs are a complete protein food, and are easy to digest when they are properly cooked. They are used in many menu items from appetizers to desserts, and they are inexpensive if you are thinking a lot about food cost these days. I will name a few for you, then we can use the egg to make many different types of food for all day meals. There is the fried egg, sunny side up, over easy, over med., over hard, scrambled, boiled, poached, and omelets, and many types of omelets there are too, that is where you can put anything you want in it, a invention! We will go on to the pancakes, the waffles with all that good stuff in them too, (invention), fried potatoes and some toast and the cereals that we just can't forget, and they come in those cute little box's O-boy this is more fun then I thought. When we are done with our breakfast we can relax and enjoy all that good food we ate, and know we can have a healthy choice of foods and have fun with it where ever we go, because we invented it.When you are ready lets go to lunch. Sounds good to me. How about you?
