5 Basic Recipes All Home Chefs Should Keep Handy!

Dinnertime can be daunting, especially for new chefs and busy parents. It really doesn’t have to be because dinner doesn’t have to be fancy or take a lot of time to be satisfying and delicious. Here are 5 Basic Recipes we feel that everyone should keep in their arsenal to relieve that dinnertime stress! Take the basics and build from there. Simple as that and completely satisfying!

1. How to Cook Rice on the Stove

Making rice on the stovetop can be daunting if you’re a first timer. It may come out overly sticky, or not quite cooked, but it’s simple to get your rice to come out perfectly every time. Since rice is so versatile, it’s great to master this skill as the basis of many of your meals.

2. Chicken Stir-Fry

We love chicken stir-fry for the ease as well as the taste. Portion control is simple and it’s a one-pan dish that you can make with items you probably already have on hand. When you are just starting out, you can buy packets of seasoning or pre-made sauces to make this dish even simpler.

2. Tex-Mex Tacos

Everyone loves Mexican food so we feel that mastering the art of tacos is one of the most important things you can do as a beginner chef. Once you learn how to make perfect taco meat, you can cross that over into nachos, burritos, enchiladas, and countless other meals!

4. Perfect Scrambled Eggs

Scrambled eggs can be for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. We love making a breakfast pizza with scrambled eggs being the basic protein. You can make these on the stove top, in a cup in the microwave, or in a plastic baggie in water over a fire.

5. How to Make Soup from Almost Any Vegetable
