If you ever find a recipe that requires chai spice, don’t buy it!  Make your own! For one, chai spice is hard to find.  Secondly, if you do find it, it will be crazy expensive. Now, finding the cardamom for the recipe can be expensive too, but you can find it online much more affordable.  I bought my on Swanson Vitamins (not affiliate). If you like to make your own seasonings you may like...

About Gluten Free Oats, How To Make Quick Cooking Gluten Free Oats, and How to Cook Oats Fast For Breakfast

While oats are technically gluten free, they are often not gluten free due to farming practices and processing. Therefore, for anyone wishing to avoid gluten, (especially those with Celiac disease), it is imperative to buy “certified gluten free oats.”  This means they were grown on fields dedicated to oats only and not on a rotation with wheat or barely and processed in a gluten free...

It’s a perfect way to “detox” from all the heavy winter foods. This is one of those recipes...

Make Your Own “Canned” Salmon

admin January 26, 2016 0 Comments
If you ever prepare salmon patties or a salmon loaf the recipe almost always calls for canned salmon.  I don't know about you, but I find canned salmon really gross.  There is black skin in there and bones and you have the added worry of the can being lined with BPA and it is likely not wild caught. So I set out to see if I could make it myself!  And I like to share easy cooking tips now and...

25 Tips For Better Grilling

admin September 6, 2015 0 Comments
As I stand in my back yard I can see the back yards of 5 houses. It’s not optimum, but it is what it is. What I find odd, very strange actually, is that none of these people grill their meals. Like ever. We have a least 7 months where weather permits us to grill and I never see anyone grilling. And I’m outdoors a lot. It seems strange to me because grilling is such an easy way to prepare...
