Here I cook chicken breasts fast so they remain moist. A balsamic vinegar sauce lifts their flavor. In place of the colorful side dish of corn and peas, you could serve a starch, such as potatoes or pasta, or other vegetables, such as string beans or spinach.

Here’s an excellent example of convenience cooking that produces superb results. Slow-baked tuna steaks are served with a relish of tomato, sweet onion, and hot salsa. This slow-baking technique works with other fish steaks, too, such as halibut.

By following my directions, you’ll soon have this. Very crispy, very light, extremely flavorful onion strings/onion straws/onion rings, whatever you’d like to call them.

Brisket. If you think you don’t like it, you’ve never had it like this. If you’ve never had brisket, you don’t know what you’re missing. Give it a try! Everybody’s

Now, if I weren’t married to a straight-up-meat-and-potatoes rancher, I would probably cook a bunch of sliced mushrooms with the onions. I’d add a little sherry to the meat mixture. And I’d melt a little sliced mozzarella on the top. But that’s just me. Truth is, you could play around with this sandwich as much as you’d like: different veggies, different seasonings (thyme, fresh garlic, etc.), or a topping of different cheeses. Go play! Have fun!

It’s perfect for Easter: carroty and exceedingly Springy. Try it this weekend!

A warning. If you follow these instructions and wind up delivering these cinnamon rolls to your friends, be prepared.
