Lance’s Tips for Cooking Through Quarantine 3 Simple Steps to Make Home Cooking Quick and Easy

In last month’s newsletter, I dished up some of my thoughts on brisket. Whether or not you agreed with my assessment of Austin’s barbecue scene, you probably guessed that I enjoy not just eating but also cooking. In fact, I’m the everyday cook in our house. Not only do I make a great brisket, I can do chicken, steak, and burgers too. Since the coronavirus pandemic hit, more and more people have started getting into the kitchen. Grocery stores are the only game in town, so people have been forced to cook for themselves for the first time in forever. A lot of my friends, for example, used to go out to eat three or four times a week. The stay-at- home orders forced them to find new habits and start cooking. You probably heard about the run on yeast and flour in the spring when the whole country decided to make sourdough bread at the same time. Luckily, sourdough isn’t the only option out there when it comes to feeding your family during quarantine. If you’re new to the kitchen, take it from an old hand: Before you jump into sourdough, you should spend some time figuring out the basics.

First, you need to come up with a list of dishes that your family likes to eat. Even if steaks and burgers are your favorite, you can’t have them every night or you’re going to get burned out. Try listing out at least 10 dishes your whole family approves of. Second, make a meal plan for the week. You can’t just wing it and expect everyone to be happy and dinner to be done on time. You have to sit down and figure out what you want to prepare. If you’re a beginner, try picking dishes that are easy and come together quickly, like spaghetti or casseroles. There are a bunch of different variations you can do on either of those recipes so that they don’t get boring. Third, you should master some basic recipes and techniques. Once you have these tricks in your back pocket, cooking will be easier and

faster. For example, I like to pound chicken breasts flat before I cook them so that they cook more evenly. If I use that technique, then they take just six minutes to cook on the gas grill. I also like to marinate my steaks. It’s a simple step, but it adds a lot of extra flavor. Cooking can seem challenging if you’re a beginner, but I think there are actually a lot of perks to eating at home. Right now, every meal feels more like a family event than it used to, and it’s kind of nice. No one is rushing off or skipping dinner simply because no one is going anywhere. This month, I’ve got a challenge for you: Find a recipe that your family might like and try it out. Make sure you have everyone sit around the table and eat together. Then let me know how it goes! You might enjoy the whole process more than you think.
