A sprinkle of this and a dash of that is what makes cooking at home an adventure. Turn a basic recipe into a legendary dish by giving it a healthy twist of flavor or spice. Did you know a squeeze of lemon is a great substitute for salt? It’s also a good thickening agent for fruit butters, jams, and sauces. Lemon juice is my “go-to” marinade from time to time when slow-cooking meats. It also enhances olive oil for a light salad dressing drizzled over fresh vegetables. I think you get the idea. Time flies on this journey of the palate. Thanks very much to all of my followers on http://snapshotsincursive.com for the uplifting support, award nominations, and moving words of encouragement. Follow me on Facebook at Gail Dorna, on Instagram @gail_dorna and Twitter @ Snapshotsincursive. What’s cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? It’s as simple as A-B-C. One of my passions is being at home in my own country kitchen. No matter how much we travel, I relish the thought of returning there to create something delicious. I adore time-honored traditions using tried-and-true recipes. Yet, I often never think twice about tweaking old favorites or modifying others to suit the inner craving of the moment. Most of the recipes serve 2-4 people, but can be altered in any direction. The leftovers are golden morsels to be eaten again later or shared with others. And I love to share. To me, seeing a smile in gratitude is thanks enough. The recipes you will find here in the next several weeks can be prepared very easily. Feel free to contact me with questions. Now take a deep breath, inhale the aromas, and join me on a tasteful journey entitled, “EATING MY WAY THROUGH THE ALPHABET: EQUAL MEASURES!”

Lemons happen to be my go to for just about anything.
I wasn’t aware it could serve as a substitute for salt, though. Even though I’ve been doing it unwittingly forever, seeing as how I pass on the salt most of the time.
Yay to Good Measures!!!

I “cooked” last week!! I made chicken salad from canned chicken. I put in some minced garlic, and cut grapes, and diced water chestnut, pepper, and mayo. Served on croissants. My Mama, and Aunt pronounced it yummy!!

Thanks, Lyn! You’re the first to know I met a celebrity chef last week in Las Vegas. Her name is Michelle Tribble. She was the winner of Gordon Ramsay’s TV series “Hell’s Kitchen” and awarded the position of Executive Chef at his newest signature restaurant there. Not bad for a gal of 24 years! 🌟✨💫

So often people don’t venture forth in changing recipes, or at least tweaking them. Adding or changing even a little can make something stand out.
