GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOTV) - I admit cooking for me has always consisted of mac & cheese (from a box), scrambled eggs, and in college in the infamous Ramen Noodles. This is no stretch of the imagination; I have never ever cooked before. So when my boss said that we were doing a segment called "Cooking with Jordan", I hit the floor laughing.
I was inspired by a new cook book that just came out by Jamie Oliver. Jamie is the new ABC sensation to hit the airwaves this year with his hit show, "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution". He travels the country seeking out the unhealthiest cities in the country, hoping to change the eating and cooking habits of Americans.
Jamie's show inspired the cook book, and it’s simple and easy with pictures. So I thought that I would give it a whirl! I decided to go for the chicken fajitas! They look simple and fast.
I went to the grocery store, and purchased all of the ingredients and then off to the kitchen I went. Cleaning chicken was probably the hardest thing to do. All of the slimy gooey fatty bits....ewww eww ewww. After cleaning my slimy chicken and chopping onions and peppers, I called the stove an oven!
Soooooo....needless to say the kitchen is not my home, however I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome of the chicken fajitas! I don’t like to toot my own horn but....beep beep! The food was edible, and luckily I didn’t burn down the fort!
If you want to win a copy of Jamie's book and try some recipes for yourself you are in luck because I have some copies to give away! It's easy to win, just watch my cooking video right here on wotv.com and then register to win. See the contest rules for more information.
Jamie's book, "Jamie's Food Revolution" is on sale in store now and don't miss his show Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution. It airs Friday nights at 9:00pm on WOTV 4.
