Parsley..not just for garnishing.

We have been experience wonderful cooking for about a year now with some help from Chef Lori Gandy.  Each week she helps out with making everything work for us.  Watching caloric intake, fresh quality foods and using the right ingredients.  She not only has expanded my use of ingredients but has introduced me to so many things I would have never tired.  I am a chicken man.  Just Chicken…I tell her that all the time.  I love chicken so much that I could eat if all day long.

My boys love the super special french fries, what makes them special?  Parsley and Sea Salt.  Chopped parsley splashed with sea salt and a bit of cayenne pepper( In New Orleans..you have to bring the heat to everything) really adds some great flavoring to average fries.  I don’t or should say can not eat the fries( I am just about 40 yrs old and for a guy..”fried” doesn’t go in my mouth)

Foods that Parsley likes:

1. Any kind of Potatoes & Rice

2. Everything else.  Chicken, Casseroles, Lamb, Steak as well as Fish

Some things you may not know about Parsley:

1. It causes birthing issues if consumed as a drug for pregnant women( hey..stop huffin the parsley)

2. High in oxalic acid which helps develop kidney stones
