    Is there a brand or recipe for sugar free salsa?

    Jackie, there isn't a lot of sugar added, it's only a pinch, mixed in with the diced tomatoes. If your making a salsa, just delete the sugar, half the time I don't add it.

    Can I still Eat Ocean Trout while I am dieting?

    Oh please Megan, fish is one of the requirement dishes of a proper diet. I would guesstimate that 99% of most foods have some fat in them. Please you will not get fat or put on weight with some ocean trout. Remember when on a diet or even not, everything is god for you in moderation. Chris

    Can I cook home made frozen cottage pie, from frozen?

    Lola, in a way yes. I was in a hurry so I got my pie and put it in a warm oven at about 250F I think, to let it defrost slowly, then turned the heat up to 350F after i could pierce a skewer through it. Side note for you. Was talking to a chef over here, he spotted me taking notes and realized...

    Help! How to cook a salmon fish?

    You don't say if it's whole or fillet? However I will proceed on the assumption of a whole Salmon. All I do is in the cavity I spread a generous amount of unsalted butter, season with sea salt a freshly ground black pepper. I do the same to one side of the fish, turning it over and placing into...

    fish and chips question?

    For a start, I will admit that with the beer the fish does come out crispy. But hold on that I have said that. It also has a lot to do with your deep fryer, you have to get the temp of your cooking oil right. Not hot enough and both turn out oil saturated, two hot, and you may need a new kitchen...

    What to bring for lunch when going hiking?

    Think of it this way, your going hiking, already your back pack will have some weight. You don't go hiking swinging a basket full of stuff. I would look at breaded chicken wings and drums baked, well drained when you take them out of the oven, wrap in foil, make a potato salad just a small...

    How do I cook lamb chops so they stay moist and soft...?

    Sofia, point one. If they a thin pan fry, but don't let them cook too long, your virtually browning both sides, by the time the second side is browned, they will be done. If they are good and thick these you can do in the oven, put foil over your baking dish, 325 to 350f preheated oven, allow 15...

    Does Trader Joe's Smoked Salmon need to be cooked?

    Marcus, when it says salmon is smoked in a way it's a process of cooking, if your package says or any package says "smoked" salmon well the answer is no you don't need to cook it. You can eat it out of the package if you wish. Sugar Pies suggestions of eating it is correct. One of the popular...
