How to chop an onion

I enjoy cooking.  I would rather chop an onion than cut grass.  So a teenager, I bargained my way out of doing yard work by offering to do laundry and cook dinner.  My mom, who would much rather do yard work than housework, always agreed.  I learned by watching my mom cook during the week, but I always felt comfortable in the kitchen from the time I was small.  Even now, the kitchen is the heart of my home. Nothing makes me happier than having a family meal and seeing those I love around the table.

 Keeping it Simple in the Kitchen

While I love to cook, I prefer to keep things simple in the kitchen, especially when the calendar is full.  I rarely cook complicated recipes.  I’ve made them, and some I repeat because they’re worth the effort.  Mostly, I leave those recipes to others.  Instead, I focus on delicious, easy to prepare food.  Just recently, a family member reminded me that “easy” is a relative term.  This particular family member struggles with chopping onions.  She shared a picture of her struggle on social media, and I thought, “Sweetie, there’s a much easier way to do that.” I promised her a video of how to chop an onion.  I know there are many ways to do this, but this is the one that works the best for me. 

Beyond how to chop an onion

For those who follow my blogging journey, you’ll notice some changes in the subjects of my posts.  I want to share practical knowledge as well as talk about life.  The public posts will share the knowledge.  My weekly email will share thoughts about life.  The kitchen is one of my favorite places so it’s only natural to start there.  I know that learning how to chop an onion or How to chop a bell pepper doesn’t change the world, but if it saves you time and burning eyes, it makes way for you to live a bit better and who doesn’t want more of that?  Sign up for our weekly email in the box below.

The heart of my home

A few years ago, a dear, friend I call the daughter of my heart nicknamed me Mama K.   Since we share a love of cooking, it seems only natural to call the heart of my home Mama K’s Kitchen.  I hope by visiting my kitchen in the virtual world, you’ll find more success and happier days in your own kitchen. During the holiday season, I share ways to make Thanksgiving and Christmas less stressful, recipes that are easy and delicious, and gift giving ideas to save your holiday budget.  You can find several of the tips and recipes in my Happiest Holidays book available on Amazon.

 How can we make your kitchen a happier place?

For those who struggle in the kitchen, what do you struggle with?  What would you like to learn how to do?  I have over 40 years of experience in the kitchen and over two decades cooking for a family.  I learned so much, and if I can save you time, money and frustration so you can enjoy your family more and stress less, I call that a huge success for both of us.  You can do this, and I am excited to help.  For more great information and to learn hoe to live your best life powered by your personality, sign up below. Thanks for being you and have a great day.
