#cookchat. Free to a good home.
November 17, 2010
1 comment
When Sam Ogborn and I started #cookchat, we did it with the intention of growing it into a chat that would be a thriving community. While we both still have that desire, we’ve come to the realization that neither of us view cooking as anything more than a hobby. We don’t have the passion it takes to take #cookchat to the next level.
So, we’re offering #cookchat, free, to a good home. Our only requirements are that this person, or persons, be a real foodie. Whomever #cookchat is given to must have a real passion for talking food. Both Sam and I are afraid that we aren’t expanding your culinary horizons, which is something we had hoped to do. So, if you have interest in taking over #cookchat, you can email either of us (check out Sam’s website for hers, and mine is lacamat [at] gmail [dot] com. If no one chooses to take it over…then, the Thanksgiving edition will be the last #cookchat. We would rather do that than to let it languish.
We appreciate everyone who has participated in #cookchat since March. It’s been such a pleasure. When we have someone, or someones, lined up, we’ll make an announcement. Thanks so much to all of you for your support.

HUGE #cookchat News
September 7, 2010
3 comments
Sam Ogborn and I started #cookchat with the intention of having fun, which we have. Neither one of us knows what the hell we’re talking about when it comes to food though. No one is going to mistake her cooking skills for Padma, and no one will confuse my cooking for Wolfgang Puck’s anytime soon. With that in mind, both Sam and I want to give YOU, the dedicated #cookchat-eratzi, something more. That’s why we’ve enlisted some help for the September edition.
Marla Meridith, who runs the wonderful Family Fresh Cooking and Alison Lewis, who runs the delicious Ingredients, Inc. are going to be our hosts for the September iteration of #cookchat. However, you’ll have to change your calendars. In an effort to spread the word about #cookchat, we’re moving the chat to Wednesday, September 22nd at 8 p.m. central time. Going up against #blogchat on Sunday night is just not a wise idea. There are many people who try to participate in both, but because #blogchat is a vortex that sucks you in (Rightfully so. That chat is INSANITY), we are moving. This may be temporary…or it may end up being permanent. Much like great cooking, we’re experimenting.
As for the topic, it’s near and dear to my heart: tailgating. Marla and Alison will have the details as we get closer to the big day, so follow them for details. They will be your hosts for the evening, Sam and I will act as “facilitators”, moving the conversation along and retweeting questions/comments as we see fit.
Excited doesn’t even begin to fully explain what Sam and I feel about this. We’re viewing this as a big step forward for #cookchat and are hoping it works out. It won’t work out without YOUR help! So spread the news, or Philadelphia Cream Cheese, but hopefully both.

Here’s the transcript for tonight’s #cookchat. Both Sam and I are incredibly grateful to all of you who participate in our little endeavor. This chat is all about you guys, so the more input you can give, the better it will be! We’re all ears for September’s theme, or if you have individual questions that you’d like to have asked! Just email Sam or I and we’ll get it taken care of!

| 1:00 am | SJOgborn: | My name is Sam, I live in Chicago and love exploring new restaurants. And @MattLaCasse is a fool. Everyone should get to know him. #cookchat |
| 1:01 am | JessicaThinkies: | Our tactic is just to plan the week ahead by the sales fliers and coupons. Saves money and you always have food on the table. #cookchat |
| 1:01 am | SJOgborn: | Q1 Back to school means less time to cook. Any go-to tactics/recipes? #cookchat |

| 1:05 am | MattLaCasse: | How does everyone plan? By meal or by sales? #cookchat |
| 1:05 am | MichaelBittner: | @cookchat Those Bertoli premade pastas are delicious. Cook in a covered skillet for 10 mins. Feeds two, runs about $7. #cookchat |

| 1:06 am | MarlaMeridith: | Prep ahead of time so food is ready when you need it most. Fewer mistakes made if you are prepared with the right ingredients. #cookchat |

| 1:09 am | MattLaCasse: | @SJOgborn Don’t do that! I can’t handle all these #cookchat folks on my own! |
| 1:09 am | aurorameyer: | @hanniespice sounds great! what’s in it? #refrigeratorsoup #cookchat |

| 1:11 am | JessicaThinkies: | @kellertson different sauces and veggies are the easiest way. We rarely ever use meat, but marinating some meat is easy #cookchat |
| 1:11 am | alisonlewis: | @stephmajercik lots of fresh produce and healthy homemade snacks #cookchat |
| 1:11 am | jessicamalnik: | Q2: Stick to the outer aisles of the grocery store, a.k.a. fresh fruits, veggies and meat. Courtesy of @djwaldow advice. #cookchat |

| 1:12 am | jessicamalnik: | @SJOgborn You’re so welcome. You and @MattLaCasse do a great job with this monthly EPIC chat. #cookchat |
| 1:12 am | SJOgborn: | Q2 For me, plan plan plan. Planning ahead is crucial to a successful week of eating healthy. It’s also hugely cost-effective. #cookchat |
| 1:12 am | aurorameyer: | Q2: we freeze pork loin in the marinade so it all can go into the crock pot at once without having to think about it #cookchat |
| 1:13 am | aurorameyer: | @SJOgborn so true! what is the quote if you fail to plan, you plan to fail? true with cooking too! #cookchat |
| 1:13 am | SJOgborn: | @jessicamalnik That is such an excellent point about shopping on the outside of the grocery store. So important! #cookchat |
| 1:13 am | MattLaCasse: | @aurorameyer Great idea. We made pulled pork last night and froze the leftovers. #cookchat |
| 1:13 am | kellertson: | @JessicaThinkies Thank you, that definitely helps! I’ll try sauces and different types of whole wheat wraps. Sauce suggestions? #cookchat |
| 1:13 am | MarlaMeridith: | Cook up large batches of healthy meals ahead of time & portion them out. Freeze ‘em. Grab and go–homemade fast food. #cookchat |

| 1:15 am | djwaldow: | @jessicamalnik #cookchat – Awesome. Pretty sure I got that tip from In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan |
| 1:15 am | SJOgborn: | @Brooks_Ryan Yum. Love peanut butter on an apple too! Quick and easy source of protein. #cookchat |
| 1:15 am | aurorameyer: | @kellertson peanut sauces, spicy sauces, sweet and sour sauces. I’ve been partial to a soy, sesame oil and sriracha sauce lately #cookchat |
| 1:15 am | MattLaCasse: | @hanniespice No doubt. Creativity is a key ingredient in any recipe IMO. #cookchat |
| 1:15 am | aurorameyer: | @SJOgborn nope just the regular old tupperware. we may look into a foodsaver at some point though. #cookchat |
| 1:16 am | jessicamalnik: | Q2: I’m a big fan of salads. They are easy to make in a hurry, tasty and very healthy. #cookchat |
| 1:16 am | stephmajercik: | @SJOgborn @aurorameyer We use FoodSaver at my house all the time. My family buys bulk like its our job – helps out so much! #cookchat |

| 1:16 am | JessicaThinkies: | @kellertson we’ve done quite a few on our site, if you search they all pop up. @Tastespotting is always a good reference too #cookchat |
| 1:16 am | stephmajercik: | @jessicamalnik Yes! Huge salad fan here! Soup is also a relatively easy and healthy alternative! #cookchat |
| 1:17 am | kellertson: | @MarlaMeridith I love that idea! So easy to grab for work and then heat up in the micro. And it’s not the same sandwich everyday.. #cookchat |
| 1:17 am | SethDrury: | Q2 prepare/eat full meals. I’m a huge snacker so if I cook an actual meal I’m less likely to snack. which also requires planning. #cookchat |
| 1:17 am | SJOgborn: | @aurorameyer @kellerston I love peanut sauce! Easy to make and so good with cold soba noodles and sesame seeds. #cookchat |
| 1:17 am | jessicamalnik: | @MattLaCasse You are obviously way too modest. This chat wouldn’t be the same without you and @SJOgborn. #cookchat |

| 1:18 am | MarlaMeridith: | Make a big batch of tomato sauce & ground meat. Day 1: Chili -Day 2: Pasta – Day 3: Pizza. Just season differently each day. #cookchat |
| 1:19 am | jessicamalnik: | @djwaldow Well, it’s a great tip. Always good to cut back on those processed foods. And, I need to read that book. cc @SJOgborn #cookchat |
| 1:19 am | aurorameyer: | disaster… our grill just broke. we’re using the little one at the moment… boo! #cookchat |
| 1:19 am | SJOgborn: | @SethDrury Totally agree. It’s actually better for your metabolism to eat smaller meals more often (~6 small meals). #cookchat |
| 1:19 am | aurorameyer: | @JessicaThinkies organic meat? is that from a local farm? #cookchat |
| 1:20 am | jessicamalnik: | @stephmajercik I’m not a big soup fan. But, I love salads- especially when I’m in a hurry (which is OFTEN.) #cookchat |

| 1:21 am | SJOgborn: | @MarlaMeridith I didn’t even think of that. I love that idea. Especially on a budget, best bet to buy multi-faceted fruits & vegs. #cookchat |
| 1:21 am | MattLaCasse: | College students/recent grads often have limited cooking options. Any healthy cooking ideas using hot plate/microwave? #cookchat |
| 1:21 am | JessicaThinkies: | @aurorameyer yeah, you essentially part out a cow or whatever stock they’re selling. Costly up front, but worth it #cookchat |

| 1:24 am | jessicamalnik: | Q3: Lean Cuisine meals are a decent and cheap option for college students/recent grads. Ready to eat, balanced, microwave meals. #cookchat |
| 1:25 am | MattLaCasse: | Soups are great, especially during the winter. so easy to make in bulk and freeze for later use. #cookchat |
| 1:25 am | MarlaMeridith: | @SJOgborn YES! 6 meals per day. Never get 2 full. See “mini-meals” in my recipes:http://su.pr/33DdNM #cookchat |

| 1:27 am | SJOgborn: | @Brooks_Ryan You know what’s the best? Making homemade chicken noodle soup w/ whole chicken. Will last you the rest of the week #cookchat |
| 1:27 am | aurorameyer: | @MattLaCasse i can’t eat a lot of either brand anymore. I od’d on them when I worked at Fox. #cookchat |
| 1:27 am | jessicamalnik: | @stephmajercik @aurorameyer: Agreed! I still eat Lean Cuisines now. Way better than my college days of Ramen & cereal. #cookchat |
| 1:27 am | aurorameyer: | Q3: there are lots of microwave meals now a days. not just easy mac. #cookchat |
| 1:28 am | SJOgborn: | @cookchat Q3 I think this question is hard. Microwave is tough. I honestly never use one. Any ideas? #cookchat |
| 1:28 am | stephmajercik: | @kellertson Yes I have tried those before! I used to always buy the tomato too! #cookchat |
| 1:28 am | JessicaThinkies: | @jessicamalnik yeah I can’t even touch those ramen powder packets. Like salt blocks, ever look at the sodium? Eesh… #cookchat |
| 1:28 am | MattLaCasse: | @SJOgborn This is definitely tough, why I thought it important to ask #cookchat |
| 1:29 am | stephmajercik: | @kellertson And all the big soup brands make those microwaveable portions. So easy to bring to work, etc. #cookchat |
| 1:29 am | jessicamalnik: | @MattLaCasse Ugh, Smart ones taste like the cardboard box they come in and are maybe 50 cents cheaper than other brands. #notafan #cookchat |
| 1:29 am | MattLaCasse: | RT @Brooks_Ryan: dont worry about expensive fresh fruit from a mkt,when makin smoothies frozen fruit u get in bulk works perfect! #cookchat |

| 1:29 am | kellertson: | @aurorameyer Eek, I cringe whenever I hear “Easy Mac” – lived off that for way too long in college! #cookchat |
| 1:30 am | stephmajercik: | @SJOgborn I agree with you. It’s hard to “cook” things in a microwave, unless what you’re cooking is made for that. #cookchat |

| 1:33 am | MarlaMeridith: | For mac and cheese is it that hard to cook whole wheat pasta & top with good REAL cheese?? takes as short as boxed stuff. #cookchat |
| 1:33 am | jessicamalnik: | @JessicaThinkies Wise decision. It’s so worth it to spend a few extra dollars on fresh ingredients. #cookchat |
| 1:33 am | Cassie2theBooth: | @MattLaCasse pampered chef has tons of microwave meal recipes. chipotle chili cornbreak. makes enough for the suite mates 2 #cookchat |
| 1:33 am | MattLaCasse: | Q4 Spending a few more minutes planning your meals can pay off, both health and budget-wise. #cookchat |
| 1:33 am | JessicaThinkies: | Q4: I think less meat will always save you money, and cooking and planning for leftovers will save you money and time! #cookchat |
| 1:33 am | jessicamalnik: | Haha! You’re a smart man! RT @MattLaCasse: @jessicamalnik I married up in every sense of the term. Its why shes in charge. #cookchat |

| 1:34 am | hanniespice: | @aurorameyer I will do that. So far, @mattlacasse‘s suggestion turned out great. #cookchat |
| 1:35 am | kellertson: | @JessicaThinkies Pretty sure I tried Annie’s once and absolutely loved it. Thank you for reminding me of the brand! #cookchat |
| 1:36 am | jessicamalnik: | Q4: Why does HEALTHY fresh food always cost more than processed stuff? Shouldn’t it be the opposite w/ the U.S. obesity epidemic. #cookchat |
| 1:36 am | poppymom: | @MattLaCasse @SJOgborn I ate a lot of carrots dipped in salsa in my dorm days. #cookchat |
| 1:36 am | Cassie2theBooth: | @JessicaThinkies yes! obsessed with stonewear! pizza burgers calzones I cook everything on it #cookchat |
| 1:36 am | SJOgborn: | @cookchat Yes. RT @TomOKeefe1 @SJOgborn 1. Eat vegetarian (meats are expensive, beans aren’t). 2. Pool food money with roommates #cookchat |
| 1:36 am | aurorameyer: | hate to bail on such a great conversation, but dinner just finished! have a great day tomorrow. filled with wonderful meals! #cookchat |
| 1:36 am | JessicaThinkies: | @jessicamalnik costs more to grow veggies that aren’t production corn-based products #cookchat |
| 1:36 am | MattLaCasse: | @jessicamalnik One would thing so. Fast Food value menus far less than a salad at those same places. It’s just wrong. #cookchat |
| 1:37 am | MattLaCasse: | RT @poppymom: @MattLaCasse @SJOgborn I ate a lot of carrots dipped in salsa in my dorm days #cookchat |

| 1:38 am | SJOgborn: | @cookchat Q4 I think eating on a limited budget is a blessing disguise. Makes you buy what matters, indirect portion control. #cookchat |

| 1:39 am | jessicamalnik: | @MattLaCasse @JessicaThinkies: Is it really so hard to put healthier options on the dollar menu? It saves a lot in the long run. #cookchat |
| 1:40 am | MattLaCasse: | Q5 Some universities encouraging students to sign up for food stamps. Ethical? Smart?http://bit.ly/bRvTiN #cookchat |
| 1:40 am | JessicaThinkies: | @SJOgborn I view buying organics the same way. Buy better, buy less overall, eat less, fit in pants #ftw #cookchat |
| 1:40 am | kellertson: | @SJOgborn Love your insight on eating on a budget. A lot of people don’t look at the positive side. #cookchat |
| 1:41 am | JessicaThinkies: | @jessicamalnik it is when you think of the “real cost” involved in producing the food ethically and fairly to all involved #cookchat |
| 1:41 am | SethDrury: | @SJOgborn that doesn’t necessarily mean healthy though. You can buy a can of spaghetti o’s for 40 cents. These questions are hard! #cookchat |
| 1:41 am | SJOgborn: | RT @MattLaCasse Q5 Some universities encouraging students to sign up for food stamps. Ethical? Smart? http://bit.ly/bRvTiN #cookchat |
| 1:42 am | AngieJustAngie: | @MattLaCasse both, I plan my meals based on what’s on sale that week. #cookchat |
| 1:42 am | MattLaCasse: | @AngieJustAngie Not the worst of ideas. Wife and I try to do that, but mostly we go with what we are hungry for. #cookchat |
| 1:42 am | JessicaThinkies: | Q5 I know a lot of ppl in college who did. I think it’s terribly unethical unless you have kids or similar circumstance #cookchat |
| 1:43 am | jessicamalnik: | @JessicaThinkies Absolutely! I read somewhere that low income families are 66% more likely to be obese. That’s a real shame. #cookchat |

| 1:44 am | maloriejanasek: | Key 2 eating healthy in college – 1) try 2 stay on meal plan (save $) + 2) be creative w/salad bar and other fruits/veggies #cookchat |
| 1:44 am | MattLaCasse: | Q5 I tend to think it’s a bit unethical. Though, some students DO have that need. #cookchat |

| 1:46 am | JessicaThinkies: | @jessicamalnik it is, and the cycle of poverty and lack of information perpetuates it. #cookchat |
| 1:47 am | MattLaCasse: | A tangent to Q5; do schools do enough to provide affordable meal plans for students? #cookchat |
| 1:47 am | SJOgborn: | @maloriejanasek I completely agree. I actually think staying on a meal plan should be encouraged throughout college. #cookchat |
| 1:47 am | kellertson: | @JessicaThinkies Totally agree. Never heard of it until now – hope students who need food stamps can get them. So many guidelines! #cookchat |
| 1:48 am | JessicaThinkies: | @MattLaCasse some do, but some are almost sponsored by soda and snack companies now. They rely on the companies for lost funding #cookchat |
| 1:48 am | MattLaCasse: | @SJOgborn @maloriejanasek I did my damndest to stay “on plan” when I was in school 100 yrs ago. Helped pay for special outings. #cookchat |
| 1:48 am | jessicamalnik: | @JessicaThinkies That’s the saddest part. If you’re poor, would you rather have the 99 cent double cheeseburger or the $5 salad? #cookchat |
| 1:49 am | JessicaThinkies: | @SJOgborn well if the dorm food is like here at #Mizzou yeah, but ours was terrible! #cookchat |
| 1:49 am | MattLaCasse: | @JessicaThinkies True. So who does the impetus fall to? Students themselves to ask for better options? #cookchat |
| 1:49 am | Blackbird_Flyy: | @SJOgborn just made some egg salad with mostly egg whites, light mayo, mustard seed, celery on wheat bread… Quick and healthy #cookchat |
| 1:49 am | JessicaThinkies: | @jessicamalnik or the ingredients for that matter! #cookchat |
| 1:50 am | kellertson: | Q5 Never used all of my school’s meal plan. I believe leftover meal points were donated to charity, so at least that was good! #cookchat |
| 1:50 am | SJOgborn: | @JessicaThinkies That’s true, the food can be totally awful.  #cookchat |
| 1:50 am | MattLaCasse: | RT @Blackbird_Flyy: @SJOgborn just made some egg salad with mostly egg whites, light mayo, mustard seed, celery on wheat bread #cookchat |

| 1:51 am | PuraVidaChris: | Got caught up in work and just realized that I’ve missed #cookchat… Will try and join next month for sure |
| 1:51 am | jessicamalnik: | @JessicaThinkies Very true! #cookchat |
| 1:51 am | SJOgborn: | Q6 How do you balance timeliness with eating healthy when getting back into the school (or work) routine? #cookchat |
| 1:52 am | JessicaThinkies: | @Blackbird_Flyy I love egg salad, I make ours with cucumber! http://ow.ly/2t9X4 #cookchat |
| 1:52 am | jessicamalnik: | @SJOgborn Haha, I rarely used all my meal points. Some of the dining hall places at Mizzou were less than stellar. I.E. Eva Js. #cookchat |

| 1:54 am | lrbray: | I learned some great things listening in #cookchat tonight! I can’t wait to get back to school and use everyone’s tips/advice! Thanks! |
| 1:54 am | SJOgborn: | @JessicaThinkies I am bookmarking that post ASAP. I just adore your blog! #cookchat |
| 1:54 am | JessicaThinkies: | I do all the weekday easy meals for the blog during the week, and the baking and experimentation on the weekends #cookchat |

| 1:55 am | JessicaThinkies: | @SJOgborn Thanks! I’m finally getting into a groove with it and have been humbled by some of the people who have noticed it #cookchat |
| 1:55 am | SJOgborn: | @cookchat Q6 Timeliness tip: Make more of everything. Chopped veggie salad? Chop extras, save them for the next time. #cookchat |
| 1:55 am | jessicamalnik: | @MattLaCasse What’s your favorite quick go-to meal? I’m always looking for new suggestions. #cookchat |

| 1:56 am | JessicaThinkies: | @jessicamalnik yeah, definitely. We only use farm/organic eggs, so I was breathing a sigh of relief. I’m eat a lot of eggs. #cookchat |
| 1:56 am | MattLaCasse: | @jessicamalnik We like Mexican. Quick and easy. Sub ground turkey for ground beef, which helps. Lots of olives/tomatoes #cookchat |
| 1:57 am | kellertson: | @MarlaMeridith Completely agree. I definitely feel better when I eat healthy and take care of myself. Most don’t connect the two! #cookchat |
| 1:58 am | Brooks_Ryan: | @SJOgborn Q6 #cookchat Start w/rule#1.Should be no eating after ?pm(i do 7pm)This way u plan around last meal even if u have niteclass/work. |
| 1:58 am | SJOgborn: | Q6 I highly recommend this book: http://amzn.to/q9qaq . Fantastic, healthy and timely recipes. I have a slight obsession… #cookchat |
| 1:58 am | SethDrury: | @MattLaCasse ground turkey is SO much better than ground beef and luckily recently it’s started to become more comparable in price.#cookchat |
| 1:58 am | JessicaThinkies: | Well I have to shove off for the night, it was so good meeting and talking to everyone, hope to again soon! #cookchat |
| 1:58 am | MattLaCasse: | Now that summer is ending, fall/winter just around the corner, soups are a HUGE part of our menu planning. #cookchat |
| 1:59 am | kellertson: | @JessicaThinkies Just bought some organic eggs for the first time with the recall. I think I like them better! #cookchat |
| 1:59 am | jessicamalnik: | @JessicaThinkies That’s good. I had to throw my eggs out as a precaution. I’m not taking my chances with salmonella. #nothanks #cookchat |
| 2:00 am | SJOgborn: | @Brooks_Ryan That is an awesome tip, and one that I always forget! (eating earlier). Besides timely, it’s much healthier. #cookchat |
| 2:00 am | MattLaCasse: | Ok guys, that’ll do it for this edition of #cookchat! Let’s end with a recipe you’d recommend for everyone to try. |
| 2:00 am | jessicamalnik: | @MattLaCasse I have to try making Mexican food with ground turkey. Same spices as for beef and chicken tacos and burritos? #cookchat |
| 2:00 am | MichaelBittner: | @MattLaCasse I can’t wait for some chili. #cookchat |
| 2:01 am | MattLaCasse: | Sub turkey for ground beef here, and it’s awesome. Or throw some more beans in to make it more healthy. http://bit.ly/akktbG #cookchat |

| 2:02 am | MattLaCasse: | @jessicamalnik Sadly, I do not have that issue. re: forgetting to eat meals. #cookchat |
| 2:03 am | SJOgborn: | @jessicamalnik I’m right there with you. But thanks to @Brooks_Ryan, a great reminder of a habit I need to break. Badly. #cookchat |

| 1:32 am | LauraScholz: | @SJOgborn Q4: I think we eat out more. Mostly b/c we’re busy-I like to think we’re helping the local economy! #cookchat (p.s. I don’t cook!) |
| 1:33 am | JessicaThinkies: | We eat out a lot less since I went back to school. We’ve also learned new tricks and have recreated nearly everything we loved #cookchat |
| 1:33 am | hanniespice: | @jessicamalnik I watch & try to convert their recipes to ones more #wls friendly. #cookchat |
| 1:34 am | hanniespice: | @MattLaCasse taco pizza sounds good as well. #cookchat |
| 1:34 am | brittenwolf: | @LauraScholz I agree. I love checking out local spots, but am still addicted to the national chains. #cookchat |
| 1:34 am | MattLaCasse: | Q4 We tend to cook more than go out. However, I’m bound and determined to recreate loaded mashed potatoes from Colton’s. #cookchat #cookchat |
| 1:34 am | NdorphinAddict: | @SJOgborn We eat out less because I want fresher, healthier food, and I can’t get that eating out as readily #cookchat |
| 1:35 am | MichaelBittner: | Speaking of ballpark food.. #cookchat http://twitpic.com/24jmx5 |
| 1:35 am | aurorameyer: | step 4 cooling and de greasing. #cookchat http://twitpic.com/24jn2z |
| 1:35 am | NdorphinAddict: | @brittenwolf I avoid chains. I want originality. Hard to find, though. #cookchat |
| 1:36 am | MattLaCasse: | @brittenwolf @LauraScholz If I never ate at another nat’l chain (i.e. Applebee’s) I’d do an Irish jig. Even though I’m French #cookchat |
| 1:36 am | davidlmulder: | I’m not surprised that value-added, chain restaurants have been faltering. Quality isn’t there for the price. #cookchat |
| 1:37 am | jessicamalnik: | @hanniespice I have to downsize the recipes, since all those shows have recipes that feed an army literally #dinnerforone #cookchat |
| 1:37 am | MattLaCasse: | @cubanalaf Far too kind. I’m just a fat kid that eats a lot. @SJOgborn #cookchat |
| 1:37 am | jwendz: | Q4 Here’s a “recreate” recipe I must try – PF Changs lettuce wraps! http://bit.ly/9uuqfK #cookchat |
| 1:37 am | LauraScholz: | @MattLaCasse Oh, I never eat at chains. Like ever. Okay, maybe Chick-fil-A in moments of weakness. #cookchat |
| 1:37 am | SJOgborn: | @NdorphinAddict I feel the same way sometimes. Quality just isn’t there when I go out to eat. #cookchat |
| 1:37 am | MattLaCasse: | RT @davidlmulder: Im not surprised that value-added, chain restaurants have been faltering. Quality isnt there for the price. #cookchat |
| 1:38 am | jessicamalnik: | Yes! RT @LauraScholz @SJOgborn Q4: I think we eat out more. Mostly b/c we’re busy-I like to think we’re helping the local economy! #cookchat |
| 1:38 am | MattLaCasse: | @LauraScholz I try not to, but the town I live in doesn’t have a ton of local options. Why we cook more than eat out #cookchat |
| 1:39 am | MattLaCasse: | Q5 coming up in 4 minutes. #cookchat |
| 1:39 am | SJOgborn: | I went out to this French restaurant in Chicago that totally knocked my socks off. Meal could definitely not be recreated! #cookchat |
| 1:39 am | brittenwolf: | A play off Q4, but what’s your favorite meal from a local spot? #cookchat |
| 1:40 am | jessicamalnik: | @LauraScholz I’m not a huge fan of Chick-fil-a although I do enjoy discreetly laughing @ the ppl who go there dressed up like cows #cookchat |
| 1:40 am | NdorphinAddict: | I have found it helpful to cook extra and freeze it so when I’m busy I have a ready meal. #cookchat |
| 1:40 am | NdorphinAddict: | Daycare staff are jealous of my son’s lunches lol #cookchat |
| 1:41 am | MattLaCasse: | @SJOgborn There are definitely reasons to go out to eat, like your French restaurant! #cookchat |
| 1:42 am | SJOgborn: | @brittenwolf Salad featuring locally grown ingredients…doesn’t seem like it would make a difference, but it definitely does. #cookchat |
| 1:42 am | MattLaCasse: | @LauraScholz Yes. I (sometimes) miss living in a bit more urban area like I did in Columbia, MO. #cookchat |
| 1:42 am | NdorphinAddict: | @SJOgborn Local makes ALL the difference. #cookchat |
| 1:43 am | NdorphinAddict: | @MattLaCasse Oh hell yes! When in Denver @lecentraldenver is a MUST for EXCELLENT food #cookchat |
| 1:43 am | NdorphinAddict: | One of the things I really love now is delivery svc that brings me local, organic produce weekly to my home. #cookchat |
| 1:43 am | MattLaCasse: | Q5 Mixing drinks is considered cooking, right? What’s your favorite summertime mixed drink? #cookchat |
| 1:44 am | SJOgborn: | RT @MattLaCasse Q5 Mixing drinks is considered cooking, right? What’s your favorite summertime mixed drink? #cookchat |
| 1:44 am | MichaelBittner: | @cookchat Rum+coke. Also my favorite fall, winter and spring drink. #cookchat |
| 1:45 am | jessicamalnik: | @MattLaCasse You think CoMo is urban?! I take that back, I forgot where you now live. #cookchat |
| 1:45 am | SJOgborn: | @cookchat Mojitos, really amazing sangria… #cookchat |
| 1:45 am | aurorameyer: | @jessicamalnik awe thanks! #cookchat |
| 1:46 am | NdorphinAddict: | @SJOgborn Mojito! #cookchat |
| 1:46 am | MattLaCasse: | @jessicamalnik It ain’t small (anymore), that’s for sure! #cookchat #cookchat |
| 1:47 am | MattLaCasse: | Q5 My summertime drink is gin or vodka and tonic. Recently discovered sweet tea flavored vodka. It’s simply amahzing dahling. #cookchat |
| 1:47 am | jessicamalnik: | @MattLaCasse Yeah, but it isn’t exactly a huge metro area either. #justsayin #cookchat |
| 1:47 am | aurorameyer: | @SJOgborn I’ll see what I can do! thanks! couldn’t have done it without Jason! he cook while I took pictures! #cookchat |
| 1:47 am | MattLaCasse: | @jessicamalnik Very true. It is the largest city I’ve ever called home though. #cookchat |
| 1:48 am | jwendz: | Q5 I’m a big fan of sangria and gin & tonics. #cookchat |
| 1:48 am | jessicamalnik: | @aurorameyer My pleasure! If you start a food blog, I’ll definitely subscribe, read and comment on it all the time. #cookchat |
| 1:48 am | MattLaCasse: | Q5 Do you find your alcohol tastes vary w/ the seasons? Or do they stay the same? #cookchat |
| 1:49 am | jessicamalnik: | @MattLaCasse Wow, CoMo is the 2nd smallest city I’ve lived in. #citygirl #cookchat |
| 1:49 am | MattLaCasse: | @jwendz Sangria is such a dicey drink. If done correctly, it’s fantastic. If done poorly…yikes. #cookchat |
| 1:50 am | SJOgborn: | @jessicamalnik CoMo is definitely THE smallest city I’ve lived in. I’m going to miss it big time though. Must go back soon. #cookchat |
| 1:50 am | SJOgborn: | @MattLaCasse Totally agree with the sangria bit. cc @jwendz #cookchat |
| 1:51 am | MattLaCasse: | @SJOgborn @jessicamalnik You can fit my hometown of Grinnell, IA almost four times into Wrigley. Pop of 10,000. #cookchat |
| 1:52 am | lanes0220: | Q5:Def varies! Right now I’m in the midst of sweet tea vodka, not so much in the winter #cookchat |
| 1:52 am | SJOgborn: | Ok, and Q6. Settle the debate: KC, Memphis, or Carolina BBQ? #cookchat |
| 1:53 am | MattLaCasse: | @SJOgborn will drop Q6 in just a bit. A quick thank you to everyone who is participating this evening! You all add flavor! #cookchat |
| 1:53 am | jessicamalnik: | @MattLaCasse Wow! That’s tiny. #cookchat |
| 1:53 am | SJOgborn: | Just received a potentially threatening message from @MattLaCasse but good for him we agree on Kansas City BBQ. You got lucky. #cookchat |
| 1:53 am | NdorphinAddict: | @MattLaCasse For me they vary by season. I find I drink much more red wine and “heavier” flavors in fall and winter. #cookchat |
| 1:54 am | MattLaCasse: | Q6 KC BBQ. Perfect mix of smoked meat and sauce. #cookchat |
| 1:54 am | SethDrury: | @SJOgborn @MattLaCasse An Arnie Palmer, its the perfect summer concoction! #cookchat |
| 1:55 am | MattLaCasse: | @SethDrury Tried it w/ sweet tea vodka rather than regular tea? It’s wonderful. #cookchat |
| 1:55 am | SJOgborn: | @SethDrury I think we should be BFF’s? That’s my all-time favorite drink, not just in the summer. #cookchat |
| 1:56 am | NdorphinAddict: | @brittenwolf Have u tried a Peru libre? Even better than rum & coke (Cuba libre) #cookchat |
| 1:57 am | MattLaCasse: | @laurenkgray is missing her chance to fight for Carolina BBQ over Memphis or KC. #cookchat |
| 1:58 am | MattLaCasse: | Q5 I think we can all agree on at least one thing. Do not sully my whisky with anything other than ice or water. #cookchat |
| 1:59 am | brittenwolf: | @NdorphinAddict No, but I’ll check it out! Thanks for the tip. #cookchat |
| 2:00 am | NdorphinAddict: | @MattLaCasse I dunno I REALLY love Southern & 7. #cookchat |

| SJOgborn: | @cookchat Alright everyone…go ahead and start off introducing yourself and what you had for dinner tonight! #cookchat | |
| 1:02 am | gallaghermeg: | Hi everyone! I’m Meghan, formerly @razethecity, I love new friends and I just got a red Kitchenaid stand mixer. I call her Ethel. #cookchat |
| 1:03 am | gallaghermeg: | I guess I should include my ‘for dinner’, I had homemade pizza! #cookchat |
| 1:03 am | briannamnelson: | Hi everyone! My name is Brianna and I had homemade lasagna for dinner tonight #cookchat #cookchat |
| 1:04 am | SJOgborn: | @gallaghermeg AHH! I know all about Kitchenaid stand mixers…they are so nice! and homemade pizza sounds delish #cookchat |
| 1:04 am | laurenkgray: | Hey guys! I’m Lauren, a #PR student who LOVES to cook and try new dishes! Tonight I had spaghetti and key lime pie for dinner! #cookchat |
| 1:05 am | SJOgborn: | @laurenkgray @briannamnelson thanks for joining in! happy to have you #cookchat |
| 1:05 am | gallaghermeg: | @SJOgborn they are amazing! My mom has one, we call her Lucy, so now we’ve got Lucy and Ethel in the kitchen. #cookchat |
| 1:06 am | SJOgborn: | Q1 Santa Clara County may ban Happy Meal toys. Could this lead to healthier eating habits?http://bit.ly/aBMhpW #cookchat |
| 1:06 am | briannamnelson: | @gallaghermeg Ahh I LOVE that they are named Lucy & Ethel..that was my favorite show as a kid #cookchat |
| 1:06 am | laurenkgray: | @SJOgborn Thanks! I’m so glad to be here! #cookchat |
| 1:06 am | jessicamalnik: | Hi everyone! I’m Jessica. #cookchat |
| 1:07 am | laurenkgray: | @SJOgborn I think happy meal toys DO draw in kids, but some of those meals are getting healthier. like mac&cheese at BK #cookchat |
| 1:07 am | SJOgborn: | @jessicamalnik thanks for stopping by! #cookchat |
| 1:08 am | JasMollica: | Hey all! Joining #cookchat for a bit. Jason from Western New York. Love grilling and having fun in the kitchen. |
| 1:08 am | jessicamalnik: | @SJOgborn My pleasure! Glad to be here. #cookchat |
| 1:08 am | SJOgborn: | @laurenkgray I didn’t know Burger King had M&C? When did this happen? Interesting… #cookchat |
| 1:08 am | gallaghermeg: | Q1 I think it could help, since they’re such a draw, but the important thing is swapping out french fries or apples #cookchat |
| 1:08 am | SJOgborn: | @JasMollica woohoooo! happy to see you here! and your dinner looked yummy! #cookchat |
| 1:09 am | gallaghermeg: | Q1 Even if you leave the toy as an incentive for eating something healthier. #cookchat |
| 1:09 am | laurenkgray: | @SJOgborn They have mac&cheese and apple sticks. Probably over a year now! it is healthier! #cookchat |
| 1:09 am | gallaghermeg: | @JasMollica Another Western New Yorker? awesome! #cookchat |
| 1:10 am | briannamnelson: | @laurenkgray @SJOgborn M&C is still not very healthy unless it’s homemade, but it’s a step in the right direction #cookchat |
| 1:10 am | SJOgborn: | @gallaghermeg I agree! Good point. I don’t really think the toys are the answer. #cookchat |
| 1:10 am | JasMollica: | @SJOgborn Thanks… it was GREAT! I’ll have to cook one for all next time! #cookchat |
| 1:10 am | MichaelBittner: | @cookchat No, it won’t. People go to fast food because we’re all busy and it’s easy. Kids will still want to eat there. #cookchat |
| 1:10 am | JasMollica: | @gallaghermeg Yes… chatting from gorgeous Newfane, NY here. #Cookchat |
| 1:11 am | briannamnelson: | Q1 If you put a toy with anything, a child will want it…so why not put it with healthy food? #cookchat |
| 1:11 am | MattLaCasse: | Hi everyone! So sorry I’m late! Unexpected company dropped by! #cookchat |
| 1:11 am | gallaghermeg: | I’m joining you from lovely Batavia! #cookchat |
| 1:11 am | adriwall: | FBLTA: faux bacon lettuce tomato avocado sammy on sourdough multigrain bread.http://tweetphoto.com/26001845 #cookchat |
| 1:11 am | Elaine_Hughes: | Q1 A toy ban won’t be effective without banning the mini playgrounds too. #cookchat |
| 1:12 am | SJOgborn: | @MichaelBittner Yes, that’s the problem. Easy! Plus kids aren’t in control over what their parents decide is for dinner… #cookchat |
| 1:12 am | gallaghermeg: | Oops, that last tweet was meant to be @JasMollica! #cookchat |
| 1:13 am | JGoldsborough: | RT @briannamnelson: Q1 If you put a toy with anything, a child will want it…so why not put it with healthy food? #cookchat |
| 1:13 am | MattLaCasse: | Q1 I don’t know if banning toys will help change eating habits. Probably will just upset younger family members. #cookchat |
| 1:13 am | Elaine_Hughes: | Q1 I would miss the Burger King crowns though….#cookchat |
| 1:13 am | JGoldsborough: | @briannamnelson My question is are the fast food attempts at healthy (e.g. apple dippers) actually healthy? #cookchat |
| 1:13 am | stephmajercik: | Hi all, popping in a little late but glad I could make it! What is the question? #cookchat |
| 1:14 am | jessicamalnik: | @Elaine_Hughes The playgrounds at fast food places means some exercise for kids. Much better than kids sitting in front of the TV. #cookchat |
| 1:14 am | gallaghermeg: | @stephmajercik glad to see you! #cookchat |
| 1:14 am | MattLaCasse: | Q2 coming up in 2 minutes! #cookchat |
| 1:14 am | JasMollica: | Q1 I don’t think we can ban happy meals.. look the bottom line is it is up to the parents to be the decider. #cookchat |
| 1:15 am | SJOgborn: | @stephmajercik we’re talking about how a county may ban Happy Meal toys! and if it would lead to healthier eating habits! #cookchat |
| 1:15 am | JasMollica: | @gallaghermeg Batavia…. just drove through there this week. #cookchat |
| 1:15 am | gallaghermeg: | Agreed! @JasMollica Q1 I don’t think we can ban happy meals.. look the bottom line is it is up to the parents to be the decider. #cookchat |
| 1:15 am | ValerieSimon: | @JGoldsborough @mcdonalds does have healthy choices… but does that mean your child will eat fruit rather than fries? #cookchat |
| 1:15 am | stephmajercik: | @gallaghermeg Hi! Good to see you too! #cookchat |
| 1:15 am | jessicamalnik: | @JGoldsborough @briannamnelson Apple dippers may be a bit healthier than fries. But, I doubt caramel sauce is good for you. #cookchat |
| 1:15 am | briannamnelson: | @JGoldsborough I don’t believe they are. Read somewhere McD’s salads are just as bad a Big Mac. Need 2 use fresh ingredients. #cookchat |
| 1:15 am | SJOgborn: | @stephmajercik sorry for all of the exclamations…I’m so excited with this Hawks game I can’t even stand it #cookchat |
| 1:16 am | stephmajercik: | @SJOgborn Thanks Sam! Very interesting question… #cookchat |
| 1:16 am | adriwall: | @JasMollica Q1 I agree behavior reinforced by parents creates healthy lifestyles. Happy Meals like anything else in moderation. #cookchat |
| 1:16 am | MattLaCasse: | Q2 Summer is upon us. Commit to grilling/bbqing one thing you’ve never grilled/bbq before (e.g. eggplant) #cookchat |
| 1:17 am | stephmajercik: | @SJOgborn Haha, no problem! I love exclamations no matter the occasion! #cookchat |
| 1:17 am | ValerieSimon: | @JasMollica Agree. Though it is probably harder for parents to control as kids grow up! #cookchat |

| 1:18 am | MattLaCasse: | Q2 As you might imagine, I’m going to attempt grilling eggplant before the summer is over. #cookchat |
| 1:18 am | MichaelBittner: | @MattLaCasse Telling company to get lost because you have a Twitter-chat may be kind of awkward! #cookchat |
| 1:18 am | SJOgborn: | @cookchat Q2 definitely going to commit to grilling pineapple! I’ve never had it and heard it’s amazing! #cookchat |
| 1:18 am | stephmajercik: | Q2 I would love to try some grilled fish. Not a big salmon fan, thinking tilapia would be good. #cookchat |
| 1:18 am | Elaine_Hughes: | Q2 corn on the cob! Mmmmm….#cookchat |
| 1:18 am | gallaghermeg: | I’d really like to experiment with grilling more fruits! #cookchat |

| 1:18 am | ValerieSimon: | Q2 have seen a few neat dessert recipes with grilled fruit… would love to try this summer! #cookchat |
| 1:18 am | MattLaCasse: | @SJOgborn Such a great idea. I need to do that too. #cookchat |
| 1:18 am | adriwall: | @SJOgborn I have found that almost anything that comes from @101cookbooks is divine #cookchat |
| 1:19 am | briannamnelson: | Q2 I love grilling, but my apt doesn’t have a balcony so I can’t have a grill…but I’ve always wanted to grill fruits & veggies #cookchat |
| 1:19 am | stephmajercik: | @SJOgborn I also heard grilled pineapple is delicious! Good idea! #cookchat |
| 1:19 am | jessicamalnik: | @Elaine_Hughes True. #cookchat |
| 1:19 am | gallaghermeg: | @stephmajercik Really?? Maybe we can try to grab a drink! #cookchat |
| 1:19 am | briannamnelson: | @SJOgborn We have a restaurant in Madison that has grilled pineapple and it is delish!! #cookchat |
| 1:19 am | Elaine_Hughes: | @gallaghermeg I’ve heard grilled pineapple is amazing #cookchat |

| 1:20 am | MattLaCasse: | Q2 I’d like to do fish as well, but I’ve heard you need a metal plate to grill on rather than just the grill itself #cookchat |
| 1:20 am | gallaghermeg: | @SJOgborn @MattLaCasse Grilled pineapple is SO good! Peaches are amazing, too! #cookchat |
| 1:20 am | SJOgborn: | @adriwall never heard of it…will have to check it out, thanks for the rec! #cookchat |
| 1:20 am | JasMollica: | Q2: I’m going to try grilling apples with cinnamon. #cookchat |
| 1:20 am | jessicamalnik: | @ValerieSimon Me too! I want to try grilled pineapple. cc @stephmajercik @SJOgborn #cookchat#cookchat |
| 1:20 am | Elaine_Hughes: | @stephmajercik No, I only had a George Foreman Grill and it was too small! #cookchat |
| 1:20 am | MattLaCasse: | @MichaelBittner Yeah…explaining what twitter iss, and what a twitter chat is was a little difficult to do in 2 minutes. #cookchat |
| 1:21 am | gallaghermeg: | @MattLaCasse The only fish that I would ever do on a grill without a plate is tuna, because it’s fairly hardy. Fish is so delicate #cookchat |
| 1:21 am | MattLaCasse: | @stephmajercik I tried grilling corn on the cob last summer and pulled an #epicfail #cookchat |
| 1:21 am | gallaghermeg: | @elaine_huges it is! #cookchat |
| 1:21 am | SJOgborn: | @ValerieSimon would love to hear what fruit you plan on grilling…such a great healthy dessert idea! #cookchat |
| 1:21 am | stephmajercik: | @Elaine_Hughes Ah yeah, and George wouldn’t do the corn justice anyways #cookchat |
| 1:22 am | MattLaCasse: | @gallaghermeg So true. I’d like to try crappie simply because its so plentiful here in MO #cookchat |
| 1:22 am | laurenkgray: | @MattLaCasse I would loveee to grill some fish!! #cookchat |
| 1:22 am | JGoldsborough: | @stephmajercik @Elaine_Hughes Grilled corn on the cob with steaks today. Took a while, but came out well. #cookchat |
| 1:22 am | gallaghermeg: | @MattLaCasse I’ve never had crappie. I got sick off fish all the time growing up, and now I’m hesitant to eat it #cookchat |
| 1:22 am | stephmajercik: | @JasMollica I used to have a great recipe of stuffed apples that you let sit in the fire from when we used to camp…delicious #cookchat |
| 1:23 am | stephmajercik: | @JasMollica I’ll see if I can find it #cookchat |
| 1:23 am | jessicamalnik: | Q2: I would love to make grilled bananas foster. But, I’m not exactly sure how to grill bananas w/out making a mess. #cookchat |
| 1:23 am | briannamnelson: | @JGoldsborough That is my all-time fave summer meal. So jealous. #cookchat |
| 1:23 am | MattLaCasse: | @laurenkgray I’m not much of a seafood guy, but I still want to try it. #cookchat |
| 1:23 am | lindamachado: | Hi! Linda, from Madeira Island, just having a look at this chat #cookchat |
| 1:23 am | MattLaCasse: | @gallaghermeg As I just said, I don’t really believe in seafood, but I feel like I need to learn how to cook it. #cookchat |

| 1:56 am | adriwall: | @aurorameyer be careful not to let go too long in the marinade or it breaks the chix down quick; sorta like ur tummy #cookchat |

| 1:59 am | aurorameyer: | correction is it called mayan crema con tequila edition suave chocolate and I’m looking to see if it’s online! #cookchat |
| 1:59 am | ValerieSimon: | @JGoldsborough @lferrari2 it’s a type of marinated chicken… a tradition from the Binghamton (husb introduced me to Spedies) #cookchat |
| 1:59 am | aurorameyer: | @MattLaCasse we eat more fruits and veggies from the garden. I love summer produce! #cookchat |
| 1:59 am | gallaghermeg: | @stephmajercik Grilled pizza is SO good Highly recommended! Have a great recipe I can share with you! #cookchat |
| 1:59 am | laurenkgray: | @MattLaCasse I actually don’t eat as much during the summer because I’m so busy! I eat more seafood though #cookchat |
| 1:59 am | stephmajercik: | @adriwall Yeah, I saw him make one on the Food Network awhile ago, that’s where I got the idea #cookchat |
| 1:59 am | stephmajercik: | @gallaghermeg Oooh, please do!! #cookchat |
| 2:00 am | laurenkgray: | @aurorameyer ummm Old Bay on ANYTHING!! #cookchat |
| 2:00 am | SJOgborn: | @cookchat Q6 I have cravings for crunchy salads all. the. time. #cookchat |
| 2:00 am | jessicamalnik: | @MattLaCasse I eat a lot more watermelon and berries. Summer fruits are the best IMO. #cookchat |
| 2:00 am | MattLaCasse: | Q6 Sounds like ppl tend to eat a bit lighter. Easier to eat healthier during the summer? #cookchat |
| 2:00 am | lferrari2: | @MattLaCasse Healthier, lighter food. During WI winters heavy hot soups fill me up, but right now that’s the last thing I’d want. #cookchat |
| 2:00 am | lindamachado: | Q6: I eat a lot of fresh fruit, yaourts, pasta, mozzarela cheese with tomatoes, grilled peperonni…and milkshakes #cookchat |

| 2:01 am | ValerieSimon: | @MattLaCasse Q6 my summer choices for both food & wine tend to me lighter… #cookchat |
| 2:01 am | MattLaCasse: | @lferrari2 Yeah, Wisconsin fans always need to drown themselves in sorrow after getting beat by the #hawkeyes #cookchat |
| 2:01 am | laurenkgray: | Yessss! RT @MattLaCasse: And the choir said “AMEN” RT @laurenkgray: @aurorameyer ummm Old Bay on ANYTHING!! #cookchat |
| 2:01 am | brittenwolf: | Q6: I tend to eat lighter cuisines. Paninis, salads, and lots of fruit. #cookchat |
| 2:02 am | stephmajercik: | Q6 I also try to eat lighter. Definitely increase my salad intake. #cookchat |
| 2:02 am | MattLaCasse: | RT @ValerieSimon: @MattLaCasse Q6 my summer choices for both food & wine tend to me lighter.. #cookchat |
| 2:02 am | MichaelBittner: | @cookchat Does #cookchat literally make anyone else hungry? |
| 2:02 am | gallaghermeg: | Q6 I think we’re more inclined to eat lighter when the weather is hotter. At least for me, I can’t stomach anything too heavy. #cookchat |
| 2:02 am | lferrari2: | @MattLaCasse Definitely easier in the summer – I like to buy locally grown produce, & that isn’t readily available in winter. #cookchat |
| 2:02 am | MattLaCasse: | @MichaelBittner No. because I make sure to eat just before we start #cookchat |
| 2:03 am | stephmajercik: | RT @gallaghermeg: Q6 I think were more inclined to eat lighter when the weather is hotter. I cant stomach anything too heavy. #cookchat |
| 2:03 am | adriwall: | Q6 i shop almost strictly at farmers markets, rarely at stores, love it! more whole foods and greens #cookchat |
| 2:03 am | gallaghermeg: | Of course, being from Western New York, ‘hotter’ is relative #cookchat |
| 2:03 am | aurorameyer: | @gallaghermeg good point about eating lighter. we eat salads year round but heartier ones in the summer with more produce #cookchat |
| 2:03 am | MattLaCasse: | @lferrari2 Absolutely. Try to get to the farmer’s market as much as possible. #cookchat |
| 2:03 am | stephmajercik: | @adriwall Thanks for the tips! Definitely have to try! #cookchat |
| 2:03 am | lferrari2: | @MattLaCasse Oooh burn, too bad you’re talking to a blissfully ignorant Packer fan Don’t care too much about the opponents. #cookchat |
| 2:03 am | lindamachado: | @MichaelBittner Yes! me too! I think this is going to be my first and last session 3 am and hungry.. not good! #cookchat |
| 2:04 am | briannamnelson: | Agreed. RT @gallaghermeg: I think were more inclined to eat lighter when the weather is hotter. #cookchat |
| 2:04 am | aurorameyer: | this is what I was talking about. Better than kahlua! #cookchat http://twitpic.com/1unguf |
| 2:04 am | SJOgborn: | @cookchat Q6 guilty though…I still love a hearty soup that is faux pas in the summer/only acceptable in the winter! #cookchat |
| 2:04 am | ValerieSimon: | Q6 any thoughts on favorite summer/ BQ wines? A simple vinho verde works for me #cookchat |
| 2:04 am | MattLaCasse: | @lferrari2 My dad is a huge Packers fan. I’m much more of a college football guy #cookchat |
| 2:04 am | lferrari2: | @MichaelBittner Um, yes. The thought of my empty fridge is making me a little unhappy ATM. I want some veggies! #cookchat |
| 2:04 am | gallaghermeg: | @aurorameyer same! last night I had a huge salad with grilled chicken, avocado, and blueberries! #cookchat |
| 2:04 am | MattLaCasse: | RT @aurorameyer: this is what I was talking about. Better than kahlua! http://twitpic.com/1unguf#cookchat |
| 2:04 am | aurorameyer: | @ValerieSimon i like a good norton. good price great for cooking and drinking #cookchat |
| 2:04 am | laurenkgray: | RT @MattLaCasse: @lferrari2 Absolutely. Try to get to the farmer’s market as much as possible. #cookchat |

| 2:05 am | laurenkgray: | I would rather buy local food than Food Lion, Wal-Mart, etc. any day. #cookchat |
| 2:05 am | lferrari2: | @SJOgborn What’s your favorite? I’m big on butternut squash (an African restaurant in Madison got me hooked) #cookchat |

| 2:05 am | aurorameyer: | if anyone can find this tequila stateside please let me know. we’re almost out! sad! #cookchat |
| 2:05 am | lindamachado: | @SJOgborn Soup is very good and healthy all year round #cookchat |
| 2:05 am | MattLaCasse: | @ValerieSimon I’m not much of a wine guy. Tend to go for more vodka/gin and tonic during the summer though #cookchat |
| 2:06 am | SJOgborn: | @gallaghermeg gazpacho? love it…used to eat this roasted red pepper one back at school that was so delish! #cookchat |

| 2:06 am | briannamnelson: | @aurorameyer I am now on a massive hunt for this, so I will for sure let you know if I can find it! Sad you’re almost out. #cookchat |
| 2:06 am | lferrari2: | @MattLaCasse Call me girly but I love a good fruity wine (or even..gasp..a wine cooler) in the summer (or anytime) #cookchat |
| 2:07 am | aurorameyer: | i also love a good cold or even hot soup in the summer. a spicy one is my favorite! or a good Gazpacho #cookchat |
| 2:07 am | adriwall: | @MattLaCasse @ValerieSimon i agree; i run vodka soda in the summa! #cookchat |
| 2:07 am | aurorameyer: | @briannamnelson warning it isn’t so great warm. keep it chilled and it is best over ice cream #cookchat |
| 2:07 am | SJOgborn: | @lferrari2 my stomach is like a soup garbage can (sounds kind of gross) I eat it all butternut squash sounds divine! #cookchat |
| 2:07 am | JGoldsborough: | Q6 — Grill a lot. Also like different beers. Costco has a 24 pack of Mexican brews (Tecate, Dos Equis reg and Amber, Sol). $20. #cookchat |

The Next Episode of #cookchat
May 10, 2010
Leave a comment
Sam Ogborn and I, the co-creators of #cookchat, have decided to move it to a monthly chat for the time being. You can read Sam’s announcement of that here. I won’t speak for Sam, but I can personally say that hosting a chat is far more time-consuming than I ever dreamed it would be. With Sam graduating from MU (congrats!) this upcoming weekend, then moving back to Chicago to start her new job the following weekend, and me having commitments seemingly every weekend through June, we thought it wise to make the move to a monthly chat now. “That’s great Matt! Though, we couldn’t care less how busy you guys are, when do we get more #cookchat?”
An excellent question. Sunday, June 6th will be the next installment of #cookchat, at 8 pm central. Because summer schedules are filled with holiday weekends, we haven’t laid out any recurring dates just yet, so don’t assume it’ll be the first Sunday of each month. We agree that having a #cookchat over the July 4th holiday weekend would be a futile endeavor. The point is to get as many people as possible to participate, not just to have a chat. For our thoughts on growing #cookchat, and our plans for it…read Sam’s post. She’s far more eloquent than I could ever hope to be.
I do want to impress upon you our need for YOUR participation though. Without you submitting questions to us, Sam and I don’t believe #cookchat can fully realize its potential. The slow food movement has tripped my interest lately, so if left to me, many questions would be about that. I know you don’t want to talk about slow food for an hour once a month. If you did, someone would have created a #slowfoodchat already. Tell us what you want to talk about, it makes it easier on us and more interesting for you.
So, email us.
Sam: sam.ogborn@me.com
Matt: lacamat@gmail.com
DM or @ reply us on Twitter:
Sam: @SJOgborn
Matt: @MattLaCasse
#cookchat is much more about you than it is about Sam and I. Help us make it something Mary Poppins would sing about:
#Cookchat Goes On A Self-Imposed Diet
May 9, 2010
Leave a comment
But don’t worry, it’s a diet that is meant to fatten us up. My partner in deliciousness Sam Ogborn has a post on the new details about #cookchat going to a monthly schedule rather than weekly on her blog here. Or you can just read it below where I’ve C&P’d it:
Matt and I have decided (after much deliberation) to move our fabulous foodie and chef #cookchat from weekly to monthly. We’ve been talking about this switch for some time now, and while Sundays still work, our schedules currently don’t permit the attention this chat deserves on a weekly basis.
But don’t fret – we have lots of plans in the works to ensure that when this chat goes monthly, it’s better than ever. We’re looking to talk and pitch to food bloggers, critics, and networks to see how we can grow. We want to engage with them and tell them what we’re all about.
Matt and I also have ideas to make #cookchat more interactive. One way we plan on doing this is by working to increase the participant count. We want everyone to walk away with fresh perspectives, new recipes, and ideas after every chat.
Not to mention, Matt and I have always talked about making sure that everyone’s voices are heard. We want to know what you’re looking for, what you’d like to recommend, and what questions you have. The hashtag #cookchat is always meant to be used, even when it’s not during the hour-long monthly chat. Read an interesting article you’d like to share? Have a question for the next chat? Don’t be afraid to tweet it and use our hashtag, or email Matt or I. We prefer to use your questions. After all, we are just moderators looking to guide this foodie conversation, not control it.
Feel free to email Matt and I anytime!
Sam’s email: sam.ogborn@me.com
Matt’s email: lacamat@gmail.com
We look forward to announcing the date of the next #cookchat soon, so make sure to check out the hashtag on Twitter!

| 1:08 am | stephmajercik: | Q1-I honestly don’t pay that much attention to where my food comes from #cookchat |
| 1:08 am | shonali: | Re: Q1, I would love to pay more attention to where my food comes from/how humanely it’s raised/killed. Budgets don’t always allow #cookchat |
| 1:08 am | SJOgborn: | @emrosario no worries, hope we can see you next week. Good luck on homework (I’m off to work like crazy after the chat!) #cookchat |
| 1:09 am | MattLaCasse: | I grew up on a farm in Iowa. I can TOTALLY tell the diff between fresh and not. #cookchat |
| 1:09 am | JGoldsborough: | @stephmajercik @bitty_boop Good 2cu as well. This chat is fun. #cookchat |
| 1:09 am | aurorameyer: | @SJOgborn tomatoes are the garden entry drug of choice. once you taste a fresh one you won’t go back. #cookchat #cookchat |
| 1:09 am | MattLaCasse: | Q1 Do you think cost is the main reason folks don’t care where food comes from? #cookchat |
| 1:09 am | JGoldsborough: | @aurorameyer Oh, that’s like college or maybe even grad school. Way to healthy for us on a Sunday . Sounds good! #cookchat #cookchat |
| 1:09 am | SJOgborn: | If you do buy some food consciously, what are you always watchful of when you’re at the grocery store? #cookchat |
| 1:09 am | bitty_boop: | Hahah agreed RT @JGoldsborough: Q1: Don’t pay much attention as long as it’s cooked and tastes good with BBQ sauce. #cookchat |
| 1:09 am | shonali: | Re: Q1, not so much “where” it comes from, but I do pay attention to the labels wrt “stuff.” Does that count? #cookchat |
| 1:10 am | JGoldsborough: | @MattLaCasse If they were Ruffles, you’re back to 3rd grade (LOL) #cookchat |
| 1:10 am | MattLaCasse: | @emrosario I’m quite persuasive when convincing people to procrastinate. Just ask my wife. #cookchat |
| 1:10 am | aurorameyer: | @shonali i’d say start small. try a few organic veggies. you’ll taste a difference. #cookchat #cookchat |
| 1:10 am | SJOgborn: | @MattLaCasse Definitely. I know all of my friends would buy healthier if they could afford it. #cookchat |

| 1:10 am | JGoldsborough: | @SJOgborn Hate to say it, but price usually wins over all else. I do watch % lean when buying ground beef. #cookchat |
| 1:10 am | SJOgborn: | @JGoldsborough all I can think of is “r-r-r-ruffles have ridges” #cookchat |
| 1:11 am | shonali: | @aurorameyer Doesn’t how you cook them make a difference as well? #cookchat |
| 1:11 am | aurorameyer: | @JGoldsborough it’s super easy! I’m happy to share the recipe. it only takes 25 minutes too! #cookchat #cookchat |
| 1:11 am | msjen01: | @shonali Pay more $ now for quality produce, eat more fresh foods, and pay less later in medical bills. #cookchat |
| 1:11 am | MattLaCasse: | I think the biggest thing to do is by as locally as you can. Choose farmers market over Dole. #cookchat |
| 1:11 am | MattLaCasse: | @JGoldsborough Nope. Cheetos. 2nd grade. #cookchat |
| 1:11 am | SJOgborn: | @shonali that definitely counts. I am always on the watch for HFCS…sometimes it’s just so uneccessary in food! #cookchat |
| 1:11 am | razethecity: | a little late! Hi, I’m Meghan and I got a set of pots and pans for Christmas, it was the best ever. #cookchat |
| 1:11 am | JGoldsborough: | So true. I like cool ranch Dorritos and Fritos best. u? RT @SJOgborn: all I can think of is “r-r-r-ruffles have ridges” #cookchat |
| 1:12 am | shonali: | @msjen01 Well yes, but there’s a lot more that goes into that! Exercise, etc. #cookchat |
| 1:12 am | aurorameyer: | @shonali very true! ratatouille is a great place to start with fresh veggies in the summer. fresh flavors. #cookchat #cookchat |
| 1:12 am | msjen01: | @shonali You can also do it gradually. Our food budget has increased slowly as we add more fresh veggies/fruits #cookchat |
| 1:12 am | stephmajercik: | Good advice RT @MattLaCasse: I think the biggest thing to do is by as locally as you can. Choose farmers market over Dole. #cookchat |
| 1:12 am | MattLaCasse: | @emrosario We’re discussing slowfood currently! Q2 is coming up in 1 minute #cookchat |
| 1:12 am | razethecity: | Q1 No, I think for a few people it’s more about convenience than anything else! #cookchat |
| 1:12 am | JGoldsborough: | @aurorameyer Ooh, we should start sharing recipes in some way. A #cookchat cookbook. Please do share! |
| 1:12 am | aurorameyer: | @SJOgborn agreed! I can taste it like aspartame in food now. #HFCS #cookchat #cookchat |
| 1:12 am | cockyhawkfan: | Q1 Partially, but I would say fast food and a diluted sense of quality are the biggest factors #cookchat |
| 1:13 am | msjen01: | @shonali Actually from what I’ve read & researched, what we put into our body for fuel is a huge part. Exercise, too of course #cookchat |
| 1:13 am | shonali: | Speaking as a PR person, I think farmers markets etc. need to project a better image so that they become mainstream. #cookchat |
| 1:13 am | razethecity: | RT @aurorameyer Ooh, we should start sharing recipes in some way. A #cookchat cookbook. Please do share! << Love this idea! |
| 1:13 am | MattLaCasse: | Q2 Do you have a preference for organic vs. non-organic food? #cookchat |
| 1:13 am | aurorameyer: | @JGoldsborough lemon pepper, white wine, olive oil. that’s it. #cookchat #cookchat |
| 1:13 am | shonali: | @aurorameyer I LOVE ratatouille. #cookchat |
| 1:14 am | JGoldsborough: | @razethecity For me, price and eating healthy are most important. But healthy to me means vegetables or fruit on every plate. #cookchat |
| 1:14 am | cockyhawkfan: | You really have to be careful when typing #cookchat. A typo could change the conversation in a hurry! #cookchat |
| 1:14 am | stephmajercik: | Q2 I don’t buy organic food. Have read its not THAT much healthier and the price is ridiculous #cookchat |
| 1:14 am | aurorameyer: | @shonali we found the recipe from the movie. AMAZING! #cookchat #cookchat |
| 1:14 am | MattLaCasse: | @shonali Couldn’t agree more. They need to position themselves as a viable alternative to supermarkets. #cookchat |
| 1:14 am | SJOgborn: | @JGoldsborough I like Krunchers…SO random…lol #cookchat |
| 1:14 am | JGoldsborough: | Non. Cheaper. RT @MattLaCasse: Q2 Do you have a preference for organic vs. non-organic food? #cookchat |
| 1:14 am | msjen01: | @shonali but feeding our body properly allows it to take better care of itself (you!) Eat to Live by Fuhrman is a great read. #cookchat |
| 1:14 am | shonali: | LOL! RT @cockyhawkfan: You really have to be careful when typing #cookchat. A typo could change the conversation in a hurry! #cookchat |
| 1:15 am | JGoldsborough: | @shonali Good call on farmer’s markets. We actually have some great ones in KC, but they could use a lot of PR. Hidden gems. #cookchat |
| 1:15 am | chanel4news: | LOL! RT @cockyhawkfan: You really have to be careful when typing #cookchat. A typo could change the conversation in a hurry! #cookchat |
| 1:15 am | razethecity: | Q2 I try to be conscious of buying organic, but sometimes it is cost prohibitive. #cookchat |
| 1:15 am | emrosario: | #cookchat for Q1 cost def matters. Farmer Joel’s is the organic supermarket in ny & not sure if the benefits outweighs cost to me (student) |
| 1:15 am | aurorameyer: | #cookchat Q2 there’s a list let me see if I can find it. It depends on the price really and where it came #cookchat |
| 1:15 am | SJOgborn: | @shonali wow, great point. Honestly something is better than nothing. The ones I know of are super lax about advertising/pr/etc. #cookchat |
| 1:15 am | josephacampbell: | #cockchat RT @cockyhawkfan You really have to be careful when typing #cookchat. A typo could change the conversation in a hurry! #cookchat |
| 1:15 am | JGoldsborough: | U must go to @Panera a lot. They serve those. Jalapeno Krunchers rock! RT @SJOgborn: I like Krunchers…SO random…lol #cookchat |
| 1:15 am | aurorameyer: | for example mexican strawberries give me an allergic reaction. #cookchat. #cookchat |
| 1:15 am | bitty_boop: | Q2 I’m not a big fan of organic food but if it’s there I won’t turn it down. I mean you only live once might as well enjoy it. #cookchat |
| 1:15 am | shonali: | @msjen01 I completely agree. It’s not always easy to get one’s body to listen, though! #cookchat |
| 1:15 am | SJOgborn: | RT @MattLaCasse Q2 Do you have a preference for organic vs. non-organic food? #cookchat#cookchat |
| 1:16 am | SJOgborn: | @razethecity nice to see you here again! welcome! #cookchat |
| 1:16 am | MattLaCasse: | Q2 It seems like the defining issue is cost. Can the public convince Big Food Companies to provide better options? #cookchat |
| 1:16 am | lacajag: | Q1: Part 1: “Ppl who don’t care where food comes” from doesn’t always = “people who don’t buy organically, ethically.” (part 2…) #cookchat |
| 1:16 am | msjen01: | @shonali Takes time for sure! #cookchat |
| 1:17 am | aurorameyer: | #cookchat Q2 farmers markets aren’t much more expensive and neither is gardening yourself. #cookchat |
| 1:17 am | razethecity: | @SJOgborn Hi! Thanks, it’s good to see you too! The familiar faces are so nice! #cookchat |
| 1:17 am | JGoldsborough: | @msjen01 True. But exercise plays a role in how we feel too. I feel like I can take more liberty w/ food cause workout. #cookchat |
| 1:17 am | lacajag: | Q1: Part 2 – When ppl can’t afford organic/ethically produced food doesn’t always mean they don’t care. #cookchat |
| 1:18 am | stephmajercik: | Q2 I think if the health benefits of organic were bigger, I could justify it. It just isn’t worth it. #cookchat |
| 1:18 am | SJOgborn: | @JGoldsborough IMO, jalapeno anything is amazing. love anything spicy that kind of hurts (those chips could be much spicier) #cookchat |
| 1:18 am | JGoldsborough: | @MattLaCasse A good question. Eating healthy shouldn’t be so expensive. But it is, unfortunately. #cookchat |
| 1:18 am | JGoldsborough: | RT @MattLaCasse: Q2 It seems defining issue is cost. Can the public convince Big Food Companies to provide better options? #cookchat |
| 1:18 am | SJOgborn: | @cookchat Q2 what about making trade offs? Does anyone go to Trader Joe’s over Whole Foods, etc.? #cookchat |
| 1:18 am | shonali: | Re: Q2, no, b/c the public doesn’t know/care/needs to deal w other s**t, regardless of Whole Foods. #cookchat |
| 1:18 am | aurorameyer: | agreed! I workout so I can eat what I like #cookchat @JGoldsborough @msjen01 #cookchat |
| 1:18 am | MattLaCasse: | RT @stephmajercik: Q2 I think if the health benefits of organic were bigger, I could justify it. It just isn’t worth it #cookchat |
| 1:18 am | razethecity: | @MattLaCasse I think is some cases the options are pretty good. In #Buffalo, we don’t have Whole Foods but Wegmans does a good job #cookchat |
| 1:19 am | aurorameyer: | @SJOgborn do you like siracha? or serano peppers? I like them more than jalapeno #cookchat#cookchat |
| 1:20 am | MattLaCasse: | @razethecity Yeah, I live in Sedalia, MO. Don’t have organic supermarket option, which means it is very difficult #cookchat |
| 1:20 am | shonali: | @aurorameyer The thing is the perception is that they are more difficult/time-consuming/expensive. #cookchat |
| 1:20 am | SJOgborn: | @aurorameyer YES! love #cookchat |
| 1:20 am | aurorameyer: | @SJOgborn i would go if we had one here! #cookchat. #cookchat |
| 1:20 am | MichaelBittner: | re: Q2, how hard is it for you to get organic food? It would seem in some urban areas, organic may not even be an option. #cookchat |
| 1:20 am | msjen01: | @JGoldsborough True, but changing my diet changed my life more than any exercise regimen I’ve done (including a personal trainer). #cookchat |
| 1:20 am | JGoldsborough: | @SJOgborn If u can find them, try Montezuma’s Jalapeno chips. Made my eyes water, nose run and tongue burn so bad couldn’t finish. #cookchat |
| 1:20 am | SJOgborn: | Q3 What are some good recipes for grilling rookies? #cookchat |
| 1:21 am | MattLaCasse: | @MichaelBittner I think organic food might be easier to come by in urban areas, more of a demand I think. #cookchat |

| 1:23 am | aurorameyer: | #grilling rookies try a steak kebab marinated in vodka and soy sauce add onions & green pepper serve with a pilaf. yum! #cookchat #cookchat |
| 1:23 am | bitty_boop: | Q3 For burgers I add teriayki (sp?) sauce and breadcrumbs. Adds more flavor and keeps the burger more together #cookchat |
| 1:23 am | MattLaCasse: | Q3 Make your burgers by mixing the meat with A1 and breadcrumbs. Flavor is amazing. #cookchat |
| 1:24 am | MattLaCasse: | RT @razethecity: Q3 Halved peaches with the flesh side down on a low grill are amazing served with simple syrup #cookchat |
| 1:24 am | cockyhawkfan: | Q3 Recipes should be left up to you to be creative. #cookchat I will just say all protein is better bone in and high in fat content. |
| 1:24 am | SJOgborn: | @cookchat Q3 grilled veggies I think are a great for rookies…a grilled veggie sandwich can be really yummy! #cookchat |
| 1:25 am | MattLaCasse: | @bitty_boop I’ve used A1 in the past, but same idea. I’ll be trying the teryiaki idea soon. #cookchat |

| 1:25 am | MattLaCasse: | @cockyhawkfan That’s a good call. I wish fat didn’t taste so good. Would make it easier to be thin. #cookchat |
| 1:26 am | SJOgborn: | @bitty_boop that sounds delish! I’m bad at grilling (AKA never do it) so these are great tips. #cookchat |
| 1:26 am | MattLaCasse: | Q3 Love a mix of squash and zuccini w/ olive oil and cilantro. SOOOOO good. #cookchat |
| 1:26 am | bitty_boop: | @MattLaCasse My mom told me to use it when I started grilling last year. Roommate really loved it #cookchat |
| 1:26 am | MattLaCasse: | @bitty_boop Yep. I just learned that trick last summer. Utilize it as often as possible. #cookchat |
| 1:27 am | SJOgborn: | I also think it’s really easy to stuff burgers (channeling @JasMollica with the bleu cheese) #cookchat |
| 1:27 am | razethecity: | Q3 Also, blackened tuna steaks on the grill are perfection! #cookchat |
| 1:28 am | SJOgborn: | I think for a grilling rookie, a kabob is a great idea. Easy to cook and you can customize 1 million different ways. #cookchat |

| 1:30 am | bitty_boop: | Gotta go do work. Chat with everyone next week. #cookchat |
| 1:30 am | aurorameyer: | @MattLaCasse I know you don’t love the fish, but seriously try something easy like tilapia. not fishy tasting. promise. #cookchat |

| 1:33 am | MattLaCasse: | Q4 We use gas at the LaCasse household, but I prefer charcoal. Everything, specifically meat, tastes better. #cookchat |
| 1:33 am | stephmajercik: | Q4 Charcoal for the flavor FTW #cookchat |
| 1:33 am | SJOgborn: | @razethecity I’m with you there. Since I’m not an expert griller I like having that control. #cookchat |

| 1:34 am | MattLaCasse: | If I had infinite amounts of time, charcoal would win out. Sadly, time is usually a defining factor. Therefore, gas wins out. #cookchat |

| 1:43 am | MichaelBittner: | I think figuring out Marinades is the hardest part about cooking/grilling! #cookchat |
| 1:44 am | SJOgborn: | @Mikinzie that sounds amazing! I always veer toward the ginger sauce if I’m getting teryaki at a Japanese restaurant, must make! #cookchat |
| 1:44 am | MattLaCasse: | Agreed. It can make/break the meal RT @MichaelBittner: I think figuring out Marinades is the hardest part about cooking/grilling! #cookchat |
