Common Threads
Of all the exciting new projects JeremyCooks is taking on, one in particular holds a very special place in my heart. I am proud and excited to announce our new partnership with Common Threads. Founded in Chicago by Celebrity Chef Art Smith, Common Threads teaches underprivileged children (ages 8-12) how to cook and eat healthy. Chef Smith, who is the former Chef to Oprah Winfrey is a successful restaurateur and author. Using his celebrity and passion to make the world a better place he created Common Threads to "educate children on the importance of nutrition and physical well-being, and to foster an appreciation of cultural diversity through cooking." Common Threads is expanding its reach and is having its 1st Annual World Festival Miami on November 1st to raise funds and awareness. JeremyCooks and Common Threads are a perfect match as we both love to teach children how to cook, eat, and have a great time doing it! My participation for this event requires me to prepare 350 tastings of one of Chef Art Smiths recipes. This is both exciting and an honor for me, as I will be working amongst 15 talented and established chefs from the Miami area including Chef Michelle Bernstein who opened the Common Threads Miami Chapter.
For more information about Common Threads and to see how you could get involved please visit commonthreads.org.

ON-THE-GO: Friday Night Friends
It’s Friday night and it’s time to celebrate the end of the week by hanging out with friends. You might have a movie planned or a game of bowling but first your going to want to eat. Yes, you could go out but if you’re pressed for time and need to make that movie you’re going to have to cook ON-THE-GO! Believe it or not cooking with your friends can be a fun and exciting activity. As you know from my previous blogs entries I cook a lot with my friends and I’ve made some of my best memories with them. This past Friday night my cousin Lauren was having her friend Nicole over, they had activities planned but first they needed dinner. I saw this as an opportunity to help and offered to come over and create a meal ON-THE-GO!

ON-THE-GO: Easy Weeknight Meal
Jeremy and Eric getting ready to cook an Easy Weeknight Meal |
As kids and teen’s we all have busy lives, thing’s to do and places to be but that doesn’t mean there isn’t time for good food and cooking. I’m excited to introduce a new feature here on JeremyCooks called ON-THE-GO! It’s time that we all realize that an easy weeknight meal does not come from the microwave or a frozen box. I’m always cooking meals with others at my home, but now it’s time to pack up my kitchen and help others where they live. While ON-THE-GO I’ll create easy, simple and fresh recipes that anyone (not just kids) can make for just about any occasion.

Measure me up, Bowl me down
Metal Measuring Spoons |
If you happen to catch a glimpse of your grandmother baking that heavenly decadent German Chocolate Cake or cooking that “fall off the bone brisket”, you may notice that she doesn’t use measuring spoons or cups. Why? Simply because she’s been doing it for a very long time and that doesn’t mean you should follow, especially in the beginning. I’ve made that mistake of not using measuring tools plenty of times and have ended up with less then perfect results.
Metal Measuring Bowls |
You definitely need a set of measuring cups and spoons and to be precise you’ll want metal or rubber (avoid cheap plastic). The reason I say to avoid plastic is because over time hot liquids or your dishwasher will eventually ruin them. You’ll also want 1 or 2 measuring cups for liquid.
Liquid Measuring Cup |
Like me, you might want an assortment of bowls, a few plastic and a couple of metal. The plastic bowls are good for just about anything but the metal bowls are sturdier. You can even find bowls that are weighted with rubber bottoms. Bowls with little spouts at the end of them make it easy to pour batters and other liquids out of.
