Cooking is an important life skill you should learn. It teaches you the many ways to prepare food and nourish your body, providing needed nutrients to keep it sustained. Whole foods such as chicken have many ways to be cooked, from being fried to turned into soup, so you won’t have to eat the same type of dish repetitively. Here are some versatile whole foods you could have in your fridge and pantry in your Dorset Gardens kitchen to add variety.
Pork
Pork can be seasoned in various ways, and there are many parts that you could choose from in the market depending on the dish. It can be braised, slow-cooked, roasted, or grilled, and offers a good source of protein for those who go to the gym.
Oats
Get a quick breakfast or snack with oats. Turn into oatmeal or use as an ingredient for your meal or dessert. Heat it up or leave overnight in fruits like strawberries for a healthy, fiber-filled meal to start your day with support for better heart health and digestion.
Chicken
Chicken is one of the most versatile pieces of meat you could get your hands on and gives you a lot of protein and nutrients for your body. It comes in many different cuts for different purposes. Grill, stew, pan-sear, fry, boil to make some chicken stock, or fillet and shred to toss into salads and wraps, and add spices for a flavorful meal.
Eggs
Eggs are dense foods that are a staple in whole-food diets. You can scramble, poach, make them sunny side up, or bake into a healthy dessert. Make an egg sandwich if you want an easy snack, incorporate into a vegetable omelet, or boil then top on your ramen or eat as is. Soft-boil or fry for a rich and creamy yolk.
