What is Sous Vide?

Sous vide means “under vacuum” in French. It is also known as LTLT cooking (low temperature long time). In a nutshell, sous vide is a method of cooking whereby food is placed in a sealed bag (or jar) and cooked at a very precise temperature in a water bath. Typically the temperature will be much lower for cooking than normal.

With traditional cooking, sometimes food will be overcooked on the outside, with some of the inside being undercooked. The food may also end up being dry. The sous vide method aims to cook food evenly and retain moisture.

Javy To The Rescue!

This is a true story which happened to me today!

This coffee maker served us well for many years and I am sad to see it go. Thank goodness that I had my Javy Coffee Concentrate, which came to the rescue!

The BEST Way To Enjoy Cabbage!

Cabbages can be sooo BIG! I used to buy them and use a portion and the rest would rot. NOT ANYMORE! I’ve discovered the PERFECT WAY to use up leftover cabbage. Actually, I will buy cabbage specifically for this dish!

Cajun Smothered Cabbage is, in a word…INCREDIBLE. Cabbage is the star of this dish, and the backup performers are Andouille sausage and The Trinity. The Trinity in Cajun cooking is celery, green bell pepper, and onion. Throw in some garlic and chicken broth, and this medley produces heaven on the plate.
