We'll give her great nutritional information and recipes like a toaster oven Whole Wheat Ciabatta Pizza with turkey sausage and mushrooms. A quick Chicken And Pesto Pasta and a protein packed Garden Pita Pocket With Egg Salad. And you're sure to love Emeril's Shrimp Quesadillas.
Emeril's Kitchen Tips:
- Toaster Oven Benefits: Toaster ovens are more energy efficient than conventional ovens.
- Use only half the energy of conventional ovens.
- With Convection or Infra-red can also cook food speedily. In addition to saving energy, it also saves a lot of time.
- A small toaster oven preheats for baking much faster than a large range oven.
- Toaster ovens heat up faster and cool down more quickly.
- Shopping in Prepared Foods Benefits:
- Buying pre-cut vegetables at the prepared foods counter will help you cut down on the waste of pre-packaged, pre-cut veggies AND will save you money because you only buy the amount that you want.
