Welcome to my Online Kitchen... Emmy Award Winning Host - Scroll down to see Tawnya's winning story.
Here you can find and cook up different recipes that are delicious and that can be done of course...in a Rush! Click on Here's What's Cookin' for recipes. There, you can also watch me cook.
Meals in a Rush is all about getting back to the roots of what cooking is all about! There is nothing fancy or gourmet, but still quite tasty. My recipes are easy, homegrown delights that hold a special place in my heart. I encourage the Power of the Meal, inviting family and friends into your kitchen to cook, sitting down as a family to enjoy a meal, serving those less fortunate with food and celebrating life over a delicious dish.
My fond food cooking memories started on the farm in Thermopolis, Wyoming. Growing up, I sure enjoyed my make-believe restaurants along Owl Creek. I would bake up and serve scrumptious "Mud Pies." Hey, you have to start somewhere! I then found my way to the real kitchen and started baking. Cooking always has come naturally to me. My favorite things to mix up are definitely breads and desserts. In high school, I took food classes all four years. This taught me a lot about the nitty-gritty of cooking and the staples of what and what not to do with recipes.
Check out Sweet 'n' Spicy Snapshots to see a picture of my pet pig Porky who loved eating those mud pies. There, you'll also see me trying to frost my own birthday cake at the ripe old age of 2.
I want to hear from you with any cooking tips you might have. Then, I can share those with others.
There are many Savory Selection tabs you can choose from. So, sink your teeth in and enjoy...the Meals in a Rush way!
MEALS IN A RUSH "TABLESPOON & TEASPOON TIPS" for the Kitchen...
GATHER 'ROUND THE TABLE to Enjoy a Meal with your Family!
Eating together during the hustle 'n' bustle of life is more important than ever! Return home to eat and make it a family affair whether it's at breakfast, lunch or dinner! Family time around the table for a meal allows everyone to connect.
**Here are some tips to encourage eating together**
1. Make a plan. Decide what meals your family will have for an entire week and meals that will be enjoyed by all.
2. For breakfast, pick one day everyone has to be up and ready to eat breakfast together. You'll like my Omelette in a Bag trick!
3. If you work all day - for dinner - use the crock pot for meals. You might like to try my Sweet 'n' Spicy Chicken recipe.
4. Make eating together an enjoyable time. Talk about what each other did during the day or what the day ahead is expected to look like for each family member. It's important to stay positive and add "food for thought" or encouragement to each other sitting at the table.
