Today is National Potato Day! Plus Home Fries Recipe

Yes, potatoes CAN be healthy! Before we start serving up the recipe, we'll help you brush up on your pota to jargon: Hashed | Whether the spuds are diced or shredded, this approach is all about texture: crisp and golden outside, starchy goodness within. Mashed | Fluffy, soft, warmly satisfying: simple and—with endless stir-in and topping possibilities—never dull. But there isn't one definitive smoothness: Vary with the dish. Stuffed | Baked potatoes are hot, starchy bowls ready to hold tasty fillings—self-contained suppers ideal for cold nights. Our Home Fries recipe is an ideal example of the hashed method. The key to this dish: Resist the urge to stir. Leave the potatoes to cook at the right temperature, and they'll brown gorgeously. Home Fries Recipe: Home Fries are the ultimate in comfort-food side dishes. They brown beautifully and have a rich flavor that both your grownup and kid will love. Briefly microwaving the potatoes giv...

The Worst Grocery Stores of 2020

An interesting consequence of the pandemic for the food retail industry is the extent to which national and regional chains have had to assume responsibility for public health. At this point, you likely feel safe when you walk into a Costco , Walmart , or Whole Foods and see the directional arrow decals on the floor, the plexiglass barriers at the registers, and the Purell dispensers at the store entrance (and exit). More importantly, you carry this feeling with you, perhaps all the way home. (Related: 8 Grocery Items That May Soon Be in Short Supply .) Across the board, major supermarkets and retailers have made significant adjustments in the way they do business in order to prioritize—possibly to a greater extent than ever before in the food industry—consumer health. But, not all chains leapt into this new role as successfully as others, and as COVID-fatigue continues to set in, not all have remained vigilant in maintaining in-store precautions. Moreover, as o...

Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar

( NaturalNews ) Apple cider vinegar is often looked upon by natural wellness enthusiasts as a panacea for all good things. Taking a tablespoon or two of it every day is said to cure everything from gout to allergies and more. It's said that it is important that the apple cider vinegar you take be organic and have the "mother" in it to be of most benefit to you. The mother is a stringy-looking ball of matter that either floats at the top or settles at the bottom of a bottle of the vinegar and is the source of its sour, fermented taste. Many companies are now creating apple cider vinegar drinks that contain fruity flavors to mask the sometimes harsh flavor the vinegar has on its own. The age of apple cider vinegar as a health tonic is truly here, and while there is only anecdotal evidence that it actually cures many of the things it is said to, there is also plenty of evidence of definite health benefits in other areas. Here are some of the best documented and s...

Welsh Rabbit Recipe

Today is Welsh Rarebit Day. The 'Fluffy Bunny Brigade' need not have a fit with this "Rabbit" recipe Rabbit, Not Rarebit The on ce-famous Welsh rabbit (please don’t call it “rarebit”) is a very old formulation. There isn’t much agreement on how Welsh rabbit might have gotten its name, but our favorite story is that sharp cheese melted into ale or beer, served over crisp toast, was a substitute for meat when the men had been unsuccessful in their hunting that day. It was left to the women to fix a meal, and we wouldn’t doubt, some clever woman came up with the name. Welsh rabbit is similar to fondue, except that the melted cheese is poured over toast instead of dipping bread chunks into a pot of melted cheese. Serves 2 2 tablespoons/29g butter 2 tablespoons/16g all-purpose flour 1/3 cup/80ml milk 1/2 cup/125ml beer or ale 1 teaspoon/5ml dry mustard 1/4 teaspoon/1ml each cayenne pepper and paprika 1 teaspoon/5ml Worcestershire sauce 1-1/2 cups...

Deconstructed Skinny Banoffee Pie Recipe

We have been working on a deconstructed "skinny" version of Banoffee pie. Next is to make it dairy free. Banoffee is an uniquely English dessert pie made from bananas, cream and toffee from boiled condensed milk and is what I believe the American version of Banana Cream Pie is based on. Both can have either a pastry crust or one made from crumbled biscuits and butter. The name Banoffee is a combination of the words "banana" and "toffee. Serve 4-6 1 sheet of store bought pie dough, cut into strips or triangles 1 ounce/30 ml/30 g/2 tablespoons butter, melted 1 ounce/30 ml/30 g/2 tablespoons brown sugar lightly packed 5 large bananas, peeled (over ripe works best) 12 ounces/375 g of dairy free sweetened condensed “milk” see recipe below. 1 15 ounce/425 g coconut milk, place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour Dairy Free Sweetened Condensed Milk Recipe 1/2 cup/125 ml cold water 1 1/3 cups/304 ml/90 g carnation nonfat dry milk powde...

Fresh Yeast vs Instant Yeast

We would like to dispel the myth that fresh yeast produces better bread than dry yeast. In fact-if us ed properly-dry yeast will produce the exact same bread as fresh yeast. As long as the amounts are correct, the process is the same. It may even be the better choice in some situations, especially when you do not have a reliable source for fresh yeast. And, even if you do, instant yeast is a good back-up to have on hand in case you run out of fresh yeast. An unopened package of instant yeast has a shelf life of up to two years. Active dry can be used at 50% of the weight of fresh yeast and instant dry can be used at 40% of the weight of fresh. Based on the recommendation of the yeast manufacturers, most people are under the impression that 33% is the proper conversion for instant yeast. This is true for an industrial process, but 40% is better in the artisan process, when dough temperatures are generally lower. The instant form is the easiest to use since it does not need to...
