Hi, you all. I’m so glad that Guideposts is with me today in my kitchen here in south Alabama. Listen, we’re learning how to cook all kinds of stuff, chicken and dumplings, fried pies, Mexican cornbread. You name it; I can cook it. And I want you to follow me on CookingWithBrendaGantt on Facebook and Instagram. And I’m going to show you how to do all these things.
I want to tell you all three kitchen tips that I think is the most important for you to know. Number one, get you a nice sharp knife and you all know that stainless steel has to be professionally sharpened. So I don’t use stainless steel. This is an old-timey knife, and that’s what I use. The duller your knife is, the chances are you’re going to cut yourself. So have your knife sharp.
The other tip is this. I want you to learn how to use dough and to make dough. Because if you learn that, you can make biscuits, fried pies, dumplings, pasta, chicken pot pie, ham pot pie, honey…cobblers. Learn how.
The third tip is this. Remember that food is more than cooking food. If you cook without love in your heart for the people you’re cooking for, you have missed the boat. Make sure your supper table, that you’ve got love there too. My faith has everything to do with my cooking and here’s the reason. Because there are people out there who need to know how to cook. And I think that I was brought up to be a helper.
I think that we’re all given different blessings, different talents and different gifts. Mine happens to be hospitality. So therefore I cook for others, I do for others and I do it all with love. And Jesus is the one that helps me to stay focused and figure out what I’m all about.
