Hi, I'm Valerie, the founder of CDKitchen. Nine years ago I felt like my cooking was in a rut, making the same go-to meals time after time. I decided that since we had so many great recipes on CDKitchen that I would start trying new ones every day to change up our meal routine. Now every week I make a menu of new dishes to try and we never make anything twice. Check out some of my latest cooking adventures:
Herbed Pork And Vegetable Stew 
A good, savory oven-baked stew. A little heavy on the onions, but overall a nice, hearty meal!
Chicken And Shrimp Vegetable Stir Fry 
The secret ingredient in this stir fry: sauerkraut! Yes, really, sauerkraut. It add an interesting dimension to an otherwise typical dish.
Blue Cheese-Stuffed Dates 
These tasty little dates are perfect finger food because they are just small enough to be bite-sized but they also pack in a big bite of flavor.

Cooking Tips & Hints
Fresher Fish Thaw frozen fish fillets in a pan of milk in the refrigerator to remove excess fishy flavor and make it taste fresher.
Too Much Pesto? Pesto can be frozen in plastic containers. Also, try freezing in ice cube trays and then transferring the cubes to plastic zipper bags and keep in the freezer to use later. Simply thaw, and stir.
Slicing Mushrooms Mushrooms sliced in uniform sizes will cook more evenly. To get perfectly sliced 'shrooms use an egg slicer.
Toasting Pine Nuts To toast pine nuts for use in cooking, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread nuts on baking sheet and place in oven. Bake 3-5 minutes. Watch carefully so they do not burn.
Overripe Tomatoes Place overripe tomatoes in cold water and add some salt. Overnight they will become firm and fresh.
Crystallized Honey To freshen up honey that has crystallized, simply microwave it on high for 10 seconds (remove the cap and any metal parts). Good as new!
