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:
Spicy Seafood Stew 
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
Overripe Tomatoes Place overripe tomatoes in cold water and add some salt. Overnight they will become firm and fresh.
Fresher Fish Thaw frozen fish fillets in a pan of milk in the refrigerator to remove excess fishy flavor and make it taste fresher.
Slicing Mushrooms Mushrooms sliced in uniform sizes will cook more evenly. To get perfectly sliced 'shrooms use an egg slicer.
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!
Appetizers per person? Plan on serving four bites person if dinner follows, or ten bites for a cocktail party. If it's a grand affair, such as a wedding reception with no dinner following, figure on ten to fifteen.
