EYEBALL IT
I measure in my palm and use my eyes to estimate amounts;
a tablespoon is a full palm of dried spices.
YOUR NOSE WILL KNOW
Cooking is about using your senses. A dish is done when it smells done and looks good to you.
EAT WELL, EAT MORE!
Rather than dieting, I live by this rule. If you eat lean meats, lots of veggies and limit (rather than eliminating) your carbs, you can eat lots of food, still fit into your blue jeans and not worry about counting the calories.
GH
In recipes designed specifically for kids, this means Grown-up Helper, the big person who acts as assistant to the young chef, handling heavy pots, boiling water and other tasks. It's like having a Designated Hitter, or DH, in baseball. A GH is an important member of any kid's kitchen team.
HOW GOOD IS THAT?
This question is rhetorical. Pat yourself
on the back and just start eating.
