The Best

May 26, 2010 by Rick Osborne

I love cooking! My wife is a great cook but she doesn’t love doing it as much as I do. So in support of the era of the new spousal division of labors, I do the cooking.

I’m not an awesome cook, but every once in awhile I knock one out of the park. When that happens, I write down what I did and try to repeat it. Now I have a small and growing list of great recipes that my family raves about and others ask the recipes for. I’ve got a simple secret for developing these recipes and bulding my list; it’s two words, ‘The Best.’

Let me explain, I’ve been cooking turkeys for many years and up until recently the result has been hit and miss. I finally decided that I wanted to make the best turkey ever. I mean, why take the time to cook such a wonderful meal only to get mediocer results? So I opened my computer and Googled, ‘the best way to cook a turkey.’

I found three or four great articles that divulged a few secrets for cooking the ‘best turkey’ ever that really made sense. So I took five secrets I found in different places and made my own recipe using them all. Guess what? Everyone who ate it said that it was the best turkey they ever had! The white meat was so moist that it looked wet and fell apart in my mouth.

Using this method, ‘the best method’ I not only know the best way to cook a turkey and the best way to cook a roast, but according to others, I also have the best homemade burgers, the best salsa recipe ever, and a few more ‘bests’.

So if you’ve read this far, by now you’re asking yourself two questions, “Is he going to give us those recipes?” and, “Why is Rick Osborne sharing cooking secrets on a Christian Parenting web site?” Well the answer to the first question is easy. Yes, I’m going to share my secret best recipes for the best turkey and roast. The second one will take me a few more paragraphs to explain so please bear with me and I’ll get back to those recipes.

We can find best recipes online and improve our cooking. We can find the best fitness and diet tips online. We can find the best restaurants in our area online and we leave the old ones we used to frequent behind. We can find the best places to take ski lessons, cooking lessons, writing classes and every kind of lessons and classes online because we want to improve ourselves. But how many people type these words into Google, ‘the best way to parent’ or ‘the best parenting book’ or ‘the best parenting website’?

Parenting is one of the most important things we’ll ever do in our lives, yet many of us don’t think we need a better recipe for it . Most parents are frustrated with what’s going on in their household. The kids fight, the terrible twos are terrible, the kids won’t listen, there’s yelling and fighting and somehow most parents think this is normal or there’s nothing they can do about it. That’s nonsense. If you dry out your turkey and your roast, you’ll most likely try my recipes. So if the best parenting secrets were available, and these secrets promised you the way to a more peaceful home with cooperative kids that get along and are obedient, you’d buy the recipe book, right?

Well here it is, my newest book; ‘The Seven Mistakes The Parents of Toddlers Make’. I am convinced that if you implement the strategies outlined in this book, it will change your kids and your home. I’m so convinced that I’m offering to refund your money in full if you don’t agree that the parenting secrets in it are family transforming.

Here’s a early review:

“Rick Osborne gets to the point, explains the mistakes we all tend to make and offers practical solutions that are so simple to implement that it made me wonder why I didn’t think of them myself. I used his suggestions and was astounded how quickly the atmosphere in our house changed.

My kids don’t fight anymore and they listen and cooperate. It’s amazing.

This book doesn’t preach, it helps. It’s a simple map to great parenting.

I highly recommend 7 Mistakes. It’s a must on every parent’s bookshelf. This book will change your home.” Romana O
