Healthy Homemade Granola Build Your Own

Easy Homemade Granola I’m going to be honest with you – I didn’t start making making granola because it’s healthier than store bought. I started because it’s cheaper and and I can control how sweet it is (store bought is so sweet!!!). Then it evolved into a bit of a game, trying to come up with cute flavour combinations. Berry Burst, Apple Pie, Apricot Sunrise, Blueberry Pie, Apple Crumble, Peach ‘n Cream, Maple Crunch, Oatmeal Raisin Cookie....

How To Reuse 13 Things You Would Normally Throw Away

First, I want to thank Ashley for allowing me to share some ideas on how to reuse or upcycle items many people wouldn’t think to use more than once. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in 2012, Americans created 251 million tons of trash of which 87 million tons was composted or recycled (source). I believe there’s more we can do; if we reused one-fourth of our trash, it would make a huge impact for future generations....

Instant Pot Khajoor Ki Mithai Date Fudge

What is Khajoor Ki Mithai? This is an Indian sweet called khajoor ki mithai, a cardamom-spiced date fudge. As someone who isn’t crazy about dates in their natural form, I assure you that they transform into something magical once you cook them down. Their natural sweetness concentrates, and the dates turn into this rich, caramel-like, soft, chewy candy. The great thing about this mithai is that it just so happens to be a healthier dessert....

Magic Three Layer Custard Cake

If you love vanilla sponge cakes and custard, you are going to be as obsessed with this cake as I am. It looks like it’s been carefully layered with three different components. But it’s not! You just pour one simple batter into a cake tin, pop in the oven, and this is how it comes out!! There is no special ingredient nor any tricky technique. The batter is made pretty much like a traditional vanilla sponge cake, it is just much thinner....

Maple Sage Sausage Patties

Once you start making your own breakfast sausage, you’ll never want to buy it from a store again. Not only are organic/healthy store-bought sausage patties overpriced, but they’re also nowhere near as good as homemade patties. Plus, making sausage patties is so easy! You can make a bunch, freeze them and enjoy them over time. Have I sold you on making your own patties, yet? If not, just wait. Let me tell you more about these sweet and savory maple sage sausage patties: They are SO flavorful!...

Marinated Beef Kabobs

I don’t know if it’s “normal” to marinate beef for kebabs, but the reason why I do it is because I reserve premium beef cuts for cooking as steaks or roasting to medium rare for special occasions. So I use better value beef cuts for kebabs and as a consequence, I’ve always marinated them to tenderise, add juiciness and a hint of flavour. I don’t mean to talk down Beef Kabobs, because they are fabulously moorish, and if your budget stretches to using $50/kg beef fillet to make kebabs for a backyard barbie, I want your life!...
