Modifications I followed the recipe as instructed, except I added a full clove of garlic for that extra kick. Cooking Process This was another easy-to-follow recipe. I cannot think of any changes I would make in the future and look forward to making it again once zucchini comes back into season. Although, I will probably try…

How to Cook the Perfect Steak in a Pan Some people classify their diets with “meat and potatoes”, vegetarian, or vegan. I am a meat and potatoes kind of girl, and steak dinners are a favorite meal in my household. My recipe for a perfectly cooked steak was influenced while having dinner at a restaurant in France. I ordered a well done steak and the waiter quickly asked, “Why do Americans insist on cooking all the flavor out of their steak?” Instead of my order, he served me a medium rare…

If you love Mexican food, you have eaten enchiladas. Enchiladas are available at many Mexican food restaurants, but also at restaurants that offer Tex-Mex meals. You can buy them in the store fresh or frozen to make quickly at home. Tex-Mex and Mexican food are very much the same and different; yet, they remain more similar than people know. “Tex-Mex is practically new in the grand structure of world cuisines (it’s only been around for about 150 years), it's still evolving” (Fain 153).

The human digestive system is a very sensitive tract. With the immune system being found to develop severe illnesses, humans need to come up with a way that doesn’t harm the digestive system and helps empower the immune system (Haddad, Azar, Groom, and Biovin, 2005)(pp.513).
