5 21 Published Oct 19, 2015, Updated Sep 07, 2023 I make egg scrambles with sautéed leafy greens like spinach, swiss chard and kale all the time, but it wasn’t until recently I started experimenting with eating a large bowl of raw greens with toppings (you know, a salad) for breakfast. Here’s What You Need butternut squash – chopped into chunks and roasted, it’s delicous, mildly sweet and nutrient-packed. coconut oil – you’ll use coconut oil to coat the butternut squash before roasting....

You generally find them near things like jalapeno peppers and cilantro at the grocery store. If you’ve never cooked with them before, you’ll probably find them a little weird. I did for SURE the first time I ever used them. Although they look like tomatoes, they have a completely unique texture. Also, they can be kind of (or really) sticky once you get the husk off. You’ll probably want to buy a little more than the recipe calls for because a) some of the weight will come off with the husk and b) you might find some nastiness under some of those husks and will have to throw some out....

making hawaiian macaroni salad You’re going to need a pound of elbow macaroni, some grated onion, grated carrots, kosher salt, a wee bit of sugar, apple cider vinegar (the murky organic stuff like Bragg’s), and milk, mayonnaise, and sour cream (all full-fat, if you want my humble opinion). If you like other stuff in your macaroni salad, you can also throw that in–peas, ham, cheese, celery, bell pepper, etc. instructions In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the macaroni according to package directions (cook just to al dente…you don’t want to over cook this)....

4.75 122 Published Mar 20, 2021, Updated Jun 19, 2023 When I stumbled across 100% carrot juice in the store, I knew it would be the perfect base for my carrot cake smoothie. If you’ve never tried carrot juice, don’t let that scare or intimidate you! The juice has a hint of earthiness, but it’s quite sweet and paired with a few other simple ingredients, it tastes delicious in smoothies....

5 ingredients and 5 minutes. That’s all you need to make your own hummus at home. And that “5 minutes” pretty much covers clean up as well. It’s just that easy! Healthy homemade hummus is about the easiest thing to do. Promise. I’ve been making this for over a decade. It’s one of the earliest recipes I made regularly out of college, when I was very new to cooking. So if I could do it then, anyone can!...

My kids have been eating these since I don’t know when. Well, let’s see. You can’t give honey to a baby before age 1 — nor would I dream of letting an infant have honey or sugar — but I let M have sweetened things starting around 18 months. J a little earlier. Second baby 😉 So that’s when. Still, it feels like I’ve been making batches of these for ages and ages....

Waffles are a must have in our house pretty much every weekend. On Saturday morning, my kids wake me up and tell me if they want pancakes or waffles. (Every now and then my son requests French toast instead.) Mostly we have our go-to easy (1-bowl) whole wheat waffles. Sometimes we get a little crazy and make chocolate chip oatmeal waffles or healthy blueberry waffles. But it’s nearly October. So today, we’re celebrating fall and making some healthy pumpkin waffles....

Basic gravy starts with a roux, which is a mixture of cooked butter and flour that will naturally thicken liquid. There’s a reason we’re not just tossing cornstarch in here- a butter and flour based roux provides one of the main flavor components. I recommend real butter here if you don’t have any dietary exceptions that prevent that. You could also use turkey fat here, but I prefer the flavor of the butter....

Ingredient and Equipment Notes Ice – any type of ice will do, but I particularly like pebble-style ice. If you don’t own a pebble ice maker, you can buy inexpensive bags of ice from Sonic. For a party-style Italian soda bar, place ice in a cooler or large bowl with a scoop. Cups – if I’m making these for a party, or particularly for groups of kids, I prefer plastic cups with lids....

You’ll want to start with a light colored pan (like stainless steel.) If you use a dark coated pan you won’t be able to tell when it’s browned and it can go from brown to burned pretty darn quick. Use unsalted butter. You can brown salted butter, but all of the salt gets concentrated in the milk solids and depending on how you’re using it, it can ruin the flavor....

Ingredients Needed Turkeys Double stuff Oreo cookies – Yes, the double stuff is important. You need the extra room to attach the candy corn feathers! Candy corn – Some people have a strong aversion to candy corn. Other times it can be hard to track down. In either case, readers have reported they’ve used Mike and Ikes in place of candy corn and that it works well. Whoppers Mini peanut butter cups – Readers have reported success with marshmallow filled cups as well as Rolos in place of peanut butter cups....

It’s going to be such a fun, full weekend! I’ve got my in-laws in town visiting, I have get togethers tonight and tomorrow night for my 40th birthday with friends and with family, my son has a soccer game, and then Sunday is Halloween! We’ll have an outside neighborhood pizza party and then the kids will go trick-or-treating. Sooo excited for all the fun, it’s going to be hard to crank through work today!...

Also known as black chana masala, I used to make this chickpeas recipe in conventional Indian pressure cooker. But after acquiring Instant pot few year ago I prefer to use this recipe. You can check Kala chana on stovetop method if you like to try that recipe. The everyday vegetarian curry is light and easy to cook, ready in 30 minutes, tastes great and packed with nutrition. If you thought Indian food is all heavy on spices fats and cream it is not....

Ingredient Notes You can really use any drink products, you just have to take note of the sugar content on the nutrition label. I recommend choosing a sugar free liquid for the top. Red Beverage – Reds are pretty easy to find. There’s cranberry juice, cranberry/strawberry/cherry flavored sodas, Hawaiian punch, etc. It’s easiest to use red as your bottom layer because the juices will likely have the highest sugar content of everything you are using....

Ingredients and Equipment Needed Springform Pan – If you don’t own a springform pan, now is the time to get one! You can use a 9 or 10 inch. I prefer a 9″ because I like the thickness of the finished dessert, but a 10″ will work as well. Your dessert will be slightly thinner than mine. Crust Graham cracker crumbs – I use cinnamon-sugar graham crackers in this recipe, but regular grahams work just as well, I just add a bit of brown sugar and cinnamon to the mix....

4.8 16 Published Jun 17, 2018, Updated Sep 20, 2022 This cauliflower potato salad is paleo and healthy version of my Nanny’s old-fashioned potato salad. While I love her version, I have to admit that it’s not the healthiest. I swapped potatoes for cauliflower to make this low carb, and skipped the mayo and dairy to make this a delicious, healthy side! I like to make the recipe with eggs for an added boost of protein....

Makar Sankranti or Sankranthi is celebrated all over India with different regional names such as Bihu, Pongal and Lohri. In this post I am sharing the recipes which you can make for the Makar Sankranti festival. The year has kick-started and a new year brings to us, a new calendar! 14th January is marked as the festive celebration of Makar Sankranti or Maghi Sangrand. We associate this day with kites, dahi, til chikki ((sesame brittles) and many activities of fun and celebration....

5 6 Published Jul 07, 2017, Updated Jun 20, 2024 Knowing this about maqui berries, I think we’ll be hearing lots more about them in the near future. Don’t be surprised if you see a maqui berry smoothie bowl on the menu at your local juice/smoothie shop next time you stop in. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, most smoothies are loaded with high-sugar fruit. This fruit makes the smoothie taste sweet and delicious but also tends to raise our blood sugar levels and cause a crash later in the day....

Egg Sandwich is my favorite filling sandwich of all time. I usually make classic boiled egg sandwich for breakfast, sometimes toasted sometimes without toasting that. This egg sandwich boiled egg recipe is a spicy variation of a classic egg sandwich. I make this sandwich in Indian style. For the stuffing I make a spicy filling of Boiled eggs in masala. After stuffing the masala, I toast the bread to a buttery crispy perfection which just taste like a heaven....

Mushrooms are high in protein and are gluten-free naturally. If you are following a vegetarian Keto Indian diet with few changes you can use this mushroom matar recipe. As usual, I try to make over the recipe by taking a middle path, so it retains the nutrition and holds same texture and taste without too much oily taste in the mouth. Vegetables stand out with their unique flavors rather than overpowering flavors of too many spices which usually confuse rather than adding flavors....
