Bad Diet Resolutions, Our One-Minute Cooking Tip, Disgusting Food Finds, & Veal Chops!

People make resolutions about eating and cooking as each new year starts. But they shouldn't! Resolutions are mostly meaningless.

We should know. We're veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. We've published over three dozen cookbooks and been columnists and contributing editors for EATING WELL, COOKING LIGHT, and weightwatchers.

We've seen all the resolutions you can imagine. And we've seen most of them fail. Here's our take on bad resolutions.

We've also got a one-minute cooking tip about grating softer cheeses. We've found some disgusting food items that should never have been. And we'll counter those by telling you what's making us happy in food this week.

Here are the segments of this episode of COOKING WITH BRUCE & MARK:

[00:25] Don't make a new year's resolution about your eating or cooking. Instead, make one simple change in what you eat. Here are a few suggestions. Remember: Make one! Not all!

[11:30] Our one-minute cooking tip: Put semi-soft cheeses in the freezer for thirty minutes before grating.

[12:47] Disgusting food finds. What were they thinking? Foods we're glad aren't around anymore.

[17:57] What’s making us happy in food this week? Veal chops! (Don't @ us.)
