To cream butter means to beat it (with an electric mixer or by hand) to form a smooth creamy texture.
This process adds air to the butter and often includes the adding of sugars (brown and/or white) when making cookies and cakes.
Please note: I have a recipe that requires you to cream the butter for two minutes before the adding of the sugar and failing to do this step changes the result of the recipe appreciably. If your recipe calls for this process, you will get better results if you do as instructed.
How would you eat if you were practicing good nurition?
I would not eat white sugar. For sweetness, I would use honey, stevia, maple syrup, and agave nectar. I would not eat beef or pork. I would eat organic chicken, turkey, fish, eggs, and legumes, including tofu. I would not eat dairy. I would take a calcium supplement. I would not knowingly eat any food that had preservatives, food coloring, or sugar in them, or any ingredient that requires a degree in Chemistry to pronounce. I would not eat complex protein within 6 hours of going to bed. I would eat vegetables of all kinds: raw, shredded, julienned, steamed, sauteed, grilled, baked, and broiled. I would munch on raw nuts. I would snack on fruits. I would make hummus with chickpeas and raw sesame seeds, and use it as a dip with very simple corn and potato chips. I would use extra virgin olive oil, first cold press, exclusively. I would supplement my diet with cold milled flaxseed. I would use lemon juice and salt (sea salt) instead of vinegar. I would eat fruit smoothies that I made myself. I would drink fruit juices, and think hard about buying a juicer. I would make my own salad dressing. I would eat grains of all types: brown rice, millet, quinoa. I would eat homemade polenta. I would eat potatoes. I would eat sourdough bread (It uses no sugar in it, and no preservatives.). I would eat homemade cornbread that uses no white flour and uses honey as a sweetener. I would allow myself limited intake of pasta. I would make my own tortillas from scratch. My meals would have a meat entree, a carbohydrate (a grain, bread, potato, etc.) and a vegetable dish. There would be a fruit-based dessert. (Dietitians tell us it's better to eat fruit beforea meal.) I would eat bean sprouts and alfalfa sprouts. There would always be bananas in the house. My mantra would be, "Food is not processed, it's grown." The closer to the ground you can get your food, the more nutritious it is. And remember that "the skin's the best part."
How long should you bake 2 chicken breast and 5 chicken thighs when the oven is at 400?
This depends on if you are cooking them in liquid or a deep pan. If your chicken is bone-in, sitting in about an inch of liquid in a four or five inch deep pan, you need to cook it for about 35 minutes. If your chicken is boneless in liquid and a deep pan, it should take about 25-30 minutes, depending on the oven. If it is bone-in on a shallow pan lined with foil, it'll take about 25-30 minutes. Boneless will take about 25 minutes. Combinations of boneless and bone-in generally take about 30-35 minutes.
Depending on the oven, it could take longer. You'll be able to tell if it's done by cutting into your largest piece. If it is white (with NO transparency), it is ready. Always make sure your chicken is fully cooked before you serve it to avoid giving your guests, self, or family food poisoning.

If you cook a ham tonight will it be ok to keep it in the oven tell tomorrow?
It won't be okay to keep a ham in the oven overnight after cooking. It will cool far too slowly for safety, and bacteria will multiply and could cause poisoning.
It the ham can't be served immediately, let it cool until it's no longer steaming and then put it in the refrigerator. Once it's cold, wrap it, on its plate, tightly in cling film.
The best and safest way to serve the ham a day or so later, provided you won't be eating all the ham at one meal, is to just slice off the amount you need and either serve cold, or microwave, covered, until sufficiently heated.
Otherwise, if you're serving the entire ham, get ready to reheat the it an hour before serving.
Preheat your oven to 350F or 180C and put in the ham, oncovered. Check after thirty minutes, and remove the ham from the oven when it's thoroughly heated right through. You can test it by cutting in with a sharp knife.
Rest it for a short while out of the oven and then slice and serve immediately.
How do you cook dry yellow canary beans?
You should soak the dried beans overnight. It is best to spread them out and sort any bad beans, stones and dirt. After soaking them overnight, drain the water and cook them for 1 to 2 hours. They are finished when they are soft. I use them as a substitute for Kidney Beans. They have a rich buttery taste. The calorie count is about the same, so you aren't cutting back any.
There are many recipes from many different cultures online.
How do you use a Himalayan salt plate on the grill?
Cooking on a Himalayan salt plate is an excellent way to infuse foods with a delicate, salty flavor. Its ability to maintain a high, even temperature makes it ideal for grilling.
A salt plate needs to be heated gradually in order to prevent cracking and maintain the integrity of the product. To prepare a salt plate for use on the grill, place the plate directly on the (cold) grates, close the cover, and preheat the grill slowly until the plate is very hot, about 30-40 minutes. To grill on the plate, place food directly on the surface and cook, flipping as needed, until desired doneness is reached.
Allow the plate to come to room temperature and clean according to manufacturer's instructions. Store in a cool, dry place.

How long do you put a 1 lb roast in the oven and at what setting?
At 350 degrees F, it will probably take near an hour. But, there is no real answer to this question. Everyone's oven is different and no particular animal is listed in this question. You should really just purchase a digital probe-style meat thermometer for 5 or 10 $ at a retail store. Then, cook whatever animal it is you are cooking to whatever state you like--Rare, medium-rare, charred...
This is really the way to go. Most of them even have the "safe" temperatures to cook different animals listed on them. Also, remember, you can probably pull this about 5 min before it reaches temp since it will continue to cook once removed from the oven and probably carry over 5 degrees.
How do you air dry homemade egg noodles?
I simply lay the noodles on tea towels or cookie sheets in a thin layer and leave them to dry. My family has been making noodles for years and this is how my great, great grandmother dried them too. This way you can easily freeze them for future use. Hope this helps. Sarah
What is the healthiest chocolate?
Good rule of thumb is darker is better.
Higher cocao mass is related to higher anti-oxidant activity which can but not always be associated with being healthier, but don't take the "chocolate is healthy" part too seriously.
Chocolate is fatty and has a lot of calories, which may be less healthy than the anti-oxidant activity.

Chocolate with 70% or higher coca solids is the best chocolate.
