The secret is the cooking bag which retains all the moisture and flavour, plus there's no mess!

Easy Home Cooking

I've noticed an enormous increase in people who think they can't cook. Both men and women alike, who are almost intimidated by the prospect of preparing a meal. This fear can easily be eliminated by making something easy and delicious. Then, the fear will be gone and one can move on to the next recipe.

I was inspired by a chef who said, " Bake something, you'll feel better. "

Cooking and baking are also the most basic expressions of love. Many of us fondly recall a Grandma's kitchen filled with the aroma of warm apple pie, or making cupcakes with Mom for a school bake sale. Friday night dinner is always special at our house and there's such a sense of satisfaction when someone says, " That's delicious! "

So, I've put together a collection of my family's favourites. They are easy and delicious. I hope you will make them part of your family's favourites because you can do it!
