Fresh Ginger Tea

Ginger tea is also called “ginger water” because it’s essentially just a ginger-infused water. You simmer fresh ginger and water together, then strain out the large ginger pieces. This cup of tea is quite spicy, and will warm you up from the inside out. It’s perfect during cold & flu season, or anytime you need a cozy drink. If you’ve ever made cinnamon tea or elderberry tea, you’ll love this one, too!...

Fudgy Buckwheat Brownies Gluten Free Egg Free

In lieu of oil or butter, they get their moist texture from pureed beets! Paired with rich cocoa powder, it’s difficult to detect the earthy flavor of the beets in these brownies, but that doesn’t mean you’ll miss out on the nutritional benefit that these root vegetables bring to the table. Beets are one of the best sources of folate and betaine, which are thought to work together to reduce inflammation and prevent heart disease....

Gluten Free Banana Bread With Chocolate Swirl

Initially, I wanted to make a cinnamon chocolate swirl for the banana bread. A few weeks ago, I fell in love with Joanne’s recipe for chewy cinnamon white chocolate chip coconut cookies at Eats Well With Others. The recipe called for cinnamon chips, something I had never heard of. I was on a quest for them last week, but alas, none of the supermarkets I frequent carried these cinnamon morsels....

Homemade Ice Pops

Growing up we called them by their brand names, like Otter Pops or Fla-Vor-Ice, but the general concept of these ice pops were the same– a sweet and fruity popsicle with a slushy texture. Their ingredients were also similar, with the first two typically being water and high fructose corn syrup, along with some fruit juice, artificial flavors, and dyes. One thing that I particularly remember about these popsicles is that they always made my mouth itch....

Honey Roasted Carrots

Honey Roasted Carrots I like to serve carrots alongside many dinners, but I must say that these honey roasted ones are by far much better than plain Jane carrots. They’re so good, I love to snack on them all by themselves. All you need to do is combine olive oil, sweet honey, garlic powder and a bit of salt and pepper, then pour over the carrots and roast. Now here’s the best part; when you combine all these flavors, then roast the carrots in the oven, you end up with one easy side dish that will complement any dish to the max....

How To Make Baked Tofu By Lisa Lin

HOW TO MAKE BAKED TOFU WHAT TYPE OF TOFU TO USE If you are looking for baked tofu with slightly crispier edges, use super-firm tofu. You can find it in 16-ounce packages and it’s usually soaking in a little water. However, the drawback to using this type of tofu is that the center is dense. Super firm tofu has been pressed in the tofu molds for the longest time. As a result, the tofu curds are densely packed....
