    Cooking with Chicken breast! What to do??

    I usually butterfly them, roll up with cheddar, then wrap with bacon. Bake in oven at 350 till cheese melts and juice is clear. Squeeze a little lime juice over them and serve with rice.

    Spiced Ground Beef, Tex-Mex style

    I need help learning the bare basics of cooking...

    I second the "Betty Crocker" cookbook. It's fantastic for learning. Another good one is "Better Homes and Garden's" cookbook. Spend an afternoon at a Barnes and Noble and look at a few.

    Jelly donut filling question

    Most of these jams can be made with some super syrup (1 cup sugar and 1 cup water brought to a boil) and add the berry. Simmer it down till it thickens and cool it in the fridge. I usually make some of this for pancake topping on Sunday mornings.

    Who are professional chefs here? Who are just cooking junkies?

    Definitely a cooking junkie! Love to get creative at home with the pantry, stove and chef knife. No complaints, so I guess I'm pretty good!!
