MOST DELICIOUS RECIPE EVER!!!!

Hello!
I'm back, and now that I have your attention, I'd like to talk to you. Yes, you.


I want this blog to be more interactive. I get a little lonely out here in blog-world when no one comments on my posts, even though I know you've seen them. So, I have a plan.


ABOUT THE PRESENT

As for people commenting on posts, I ask that you do. I like to hear feedback, and know that there are other food lovers out there.

Next, the email address jillianskitchenblog@gmail.com has been created so that we can communicate a little better.
I'm looking for you to either, send me recipes you know and love so I can share them with the world,
OR
send me suggestions for a meal that you would like to know how to make.


ALSO, if you attempt any of the recipes I've posted, let me know! Email me and tell me how it went. Did it work? Why? Did you add or leave anything out that you think I should know about? Send me a picture of your food masterpiece. I might even share some favourites.




ABOUT THE FUTURE


I'm thinking of coming up with a posting schedule, should this whole email thing work out. In the meantime, I will continue to post recipes sporadically, but I may start posting daily little tips about certain foods, kitchen utensils, etc.


EXAMPLE SCHEDULE
Monday- Friday - daily tips
Saturday - Suggested recipe/Recipe Quest
Sunday - One of my own recipes


ABOUT THE RECENT PAST
I posted twice earlier today, so please check out those recipes :)


QUESTION
Should I make a facebook "like" page?




THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Recipe #11 - Green Bean Salad

Super easy and delicious.

What you need:
A small handful of green beans per person
Soy sauce
Rice vinegar
Sesame seeds

What to do:
Steam beans for no more than 10 minutes.
NOTE: I use a steamer, not my stove. If you have a steamer it may direct you on how long to cook various things. My steamer says 30 minutes. This is probably overkill. However, steamers have timers, so if after 10 minutes the mushiness is not to your liking, put them back on for say, 5 more minutes.

ALSO NOTE: I will acquire stove-top directions shortly.

Once beans are done, dress with equal parts soy sauce to vinegar. Two table spoons of each is usually enough, but adjust to your taste.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over top.
Let beans sit while you complete the rest of your meal. This allows them to soak up the dressing.

Enjoy!

Recipe #10 - Cherry Tomato Pasta

This is probably the yummiest way to eat pasta (in my opinion). The amounts for ingredients are going to vary depending on personal taste and number of people to feed.

What you need:
A very large handful of cherry tomatoes, halved
Half of a sweet onion, finely chopped
A generous splash of olive oil
Two cloves of garlic, pressed
A bell pepper, chopped
A handful of fresh basil, chopped
Pasta ( I suggest spaghetti or bowties)

What to do:
Cook your pasta.



Heat a frying pan to a high (but not the highest setting).
Add garlic, onions, tomatoes and peppers.
Pour in olive oil.
Saute until peppers are fully cooked.



Serve "sauce" over pasta.
Enjoy!

Serves 2-4 people depending on hungriness
