ITS A WONDERFUL SUNDAY FOR COOKING

Just can't believe that it is already a Sunday. And every Sunday, I make sure that I cook something special for the family. Honestly, I really don't know what to cook or prepare and I still have to look for new recipes in my recipe books. I am thinking of a healthy Sunday, so, I think its gonna be a fishy Sunday right now.


I am thinking of cooking a red salmon for lunch today and invite all our relatives for a fine dining event in the house. Yesterday, I was in the market and I bought this red salmon and I believe that it will be super great for this Sunday dining event in the house. I have all the necessary ingredients and I think I should start cooking right away to catch up for this noon time meals.

SPECIAL TREAT FOR THE VALENTINES DAY

Its a special day today since it is Valentines day, I have decided to prepare something special for the family. I am preparing a big feast for the entire family. I already went to the market early this morning for the ingredients and I already completed it. I am going to prepare steamed fish.

For this meals, I wanted to make it all natural that is why I prepared the steamed fish meal. This is a vey healthy meal because there is no oils in it. All steamed and cooked tastefully with salt and pepper. I have been cooking this dish in my restaurant and I just enjoy the taste of my steamed fish delight.

I guess I have to start the cooking in the kitchen so that I will be done by 7 pm and the dinner will start once the family and relatives arrive. I can cook freely today since I already made some renovations in my kitchen. I have all the room in the kitchen for my cooking task. This chef is ready to cook...
