If there’s one statement I can make with complete confidence, it is this: when it comes to food, we should all be eating the rainbow, including dishes like this raw beet and carrot salad! Not only does it look good, but eating a wide variety of colored produce will provide a broad spectrum of nutrients and antioxidants, which can only be a good thing. More so, evidence supports the idea that the more vibrant the color, the more nutrients are found in the ingredient....
This baked French toast recipe is everything you love about the traditional version but baked in a single pan. It requires only 8 simple ingredients and a few minutes of preparation and can even be adapted in several ways with extras like chocolate chips or berries. It’s perfect for a weekend treat, impressive brunch, and during the holidays. A French baguette or sourdough bread (which is slightly sour) also works well, especially for an overnight version, as they take longer to soak, and their firm crust provides more texture to the French toast bake....

So the addition of lime juice is very important to prevent bacterial growth....
Apr 09, 2016, Updated May 07, 2023 The over-ripe bananas are back on the blog! They never went anywhere actually but sometimes I just eat them before they go this ripe or freeze them! I never buy a big bunch of bananas so that I can finish them before they go all black and brown but they get neglected when I buy 5 more fruits along with them! Because it’s spring and market is full of such delicious fruits, I think I bought like 6-7 types of fruits, all berries included and so obviously my poor bananas got neglected and yesterday they were so brown and ripe that my husband asked me to throw them immediately....

It turns out that questions like ‘can I freeze garlic?’, ‘can you freeze peeled garlic?’, and ‘how to freeze garlic?’ are rife online and with my Instagram followers, so I thought I’d do my best to lend a helping hand at my favorite frozen garlic methods.

When I shared the “proper” method for making British milk tea, it reminded me of the other big milk tea love of my life – bubble tea (aka boba tea). Although this Taiwanese treat can be fairly easy to find in big cities, that’s not often the case in the countryside – which is where making it at home comes in handy. By making it at home, you save money, can adjust the amount of sugar added, and can make it with dairy or dairy-free milk, with or without tea—the variations are plenty!...
I think, by now, that everyone is well aware of my coconut obsession. I’m basically always on the lookout for new ways to use coconut, especially for my DIYs.

I’ve shared several simple homemade juice recipes over the last few years (including apple juice, kiwi juice, orange juice, carrot juice, and pomegranate juice!), usually made using a juicer or blender. However, this homemade cranberry juice uses a stovetop method for the best results! Not only does this homemade cranberry juice taste miles above and beyond store-bought options, but it’s cheaper to make, you can avoid pesticides (by using organic berries), and you can control the sugar content (as well as what type of sugar to use: regular, unrefined, or even a sugar-free sweetener)....
In the last few years, I’ve shared all my favorite nut butter recipes, including all-natural peanut butter, almond butter, pumpkin seed butter, and, most recently, omega seed butter. But did you know that you could make granola butter (also called oatmeal butter/oat butter) using a combination of nuts and oats? With a simple combination of several spices, walnuts, oats, and maple syrup – this granola butter not only tastes a little like an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie cups in spreadable form, but it’s also packed with nutrients and vitamins and the perfect nut butter alternative for any meal....
Making homemade powdered milk is not only a simple process, but it can also extend the life of milk nearing its use-by date by months (if not years), as well as keep your dairy supply going for longer. So if you find yourself in the situation where you have lots of milk and no way to possibly use it before it sours, then making milk powder can be a great way to reduce waste and prolong your dairy....

With spring in full swing, it’s the perfect time to find the abundance of in-season produce like rhubarb(learn how to freeze rhubarb), arugula( learn what to do with arugula), radishes and what to do with them, and artichokes. I’ve already shared a post on how to cook artichokes (steamed, boiled, microwaved, roasted, or air-fried), but having finally tried Instant Pot artichokes, I knew this method deserved a post, too. Cooking artichokes in an Instant Pot yields super moist and tender artichokes with similar results to steaming but in a fraction of the time, thanks to high-pressure cooking....
