"You don't have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces - just good food from fresh ingredients" Julia Child

 VS

Fresh ingredients make all of the difference in the world! When cooking homemade teriyaki chicken with rice and vegetables with my husband on the weekend, we decided to use (gasp!) frozen peas. If in a place where fresh vegetables are imported overseas or are not readily available, then the obvious choice is frozen veggies but when vegetables are in season it's hard to choose the frozen ones. As I was eating the now de-thawded cooked peas, I couldn't help but think of how the dish would have been with the fresh, melt in your mouth peas. Fresh ingredients truly make a dish come true!
