Cooking: The Beginning of a Great Spring

Two weeks later we have finally moved from logistics into the kitchen and we have learned that cooking is a process of trial and error; many times it takes some adjusting to make the "perfect dish." For this reason, creating a dish that is simple, delicious, and nutritious is very time consuming. Nevertheless, having a go to recipe that will always hit the spot and is nutritious is a key component to being able to reach your goals of athletic success, losing weight, or even daily functionality. Personally, I enjoy building things, creating works of art. For this reason, I use food as another medium, a building block to create a dish, a meal, nutrition to succeed in other endeavors of my life like athletics. Over the past weekend,Vincent and I got together and worked to perfect a dish with one of the most common staples in our diets, chicken. Below we will take your through the steps and continue to add recipes in the weeks to come.
