Cauliflower Broccoli Cheeseballs with Tomato Bulgur and Yogurt Dip

This is an easy and filling one that I mostly created myself.

If you don't like cauliflower/Broccoli, I derived that recipe off of this (German) one for zucchini cheeseballs (also very good, just didn't have zucchinis at home this Sunday)

Recipes under the cut.

Cauliflower Broccoli cheeseballs:

Ingredients:

110g of Broccoli florets (appr. 1 American cup)

110g of cauliflower florets (appr. 1 American cup)

100g of grated cheese (use your favorite, I used mountain cheese)

3 eggs

100g of Panko bread crumbs (regular breadcrumbs work, but they won't get as crispy)

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp salt (1 tsp if youre used to more salt)

Herbs to taste (e.g. Parsley works well)

How to:

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350F.

Pour the broccoli and cauliflower florets in a food processor and blend them to crumbs. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until it becomes a soft dough that you can loosely form into balls. If it's too wet, add some Panko, if it's too dry add a little water (not too much). Remember that the cheese will melt in the oven and the eggs will do their thing so they will stick together well after baking.

Form into balls of 1 inch/2,5cm diameter and put on a sheet lined with baking paper, then bake for 8-10 minutes, turn them and bake again for 8-10 min until they're nice and crispy. It probably works in an air fryer, too but I don't have one of those.

Tomato bulgur:

Ingredients:

1 onion

1 garlic clove

1/2 cup of bulgur (any grain would work, you'll just have to figure out the ratio of fluid to grain)

1 can of diced tomatos

Italian herbs or herbs de Provence

How to

Dice the onions and mince the garlic. Heat some olive oil or butter in a pot. Fry onions and garlic until glossy, then add the bulgur/grain. Pour in the canned tomatoes and fill the empty can with water. Add about half a can of water to the pot. Now just let it cook, but keep an eye on it. If it thickens too much and threatens to burn, pour in a little more water and stir on occasion. When the grain is almost soft enough, remove the heat and let it sit, the rest of the fluid should be absorbed in the process.

Yogurt dip

Ingredients

Greek yogurt (any thickened dairy product works)

Olive oil

Lemon or lime juice

Maple syrup

Salt and pepper

How to:

This is my dip base that I use for a lot of meals. It's very versatile as you can add in spices and other ingredients to change it. Sometimes I just leave it at this, though.

I can't give you exact amounts since I just stir it together to taste. Maybe one cup of Greek Joghurt (or sour cream, curd, skyr, cream cheese, whatever you got. You could also combine multiple.) with 1 tbsp of olive oil, a tsp of lime juice and then salt and pepper to taste. I like to add a little maple syrup (about a tsp) for an additional taste component. If you don't mind smelling afterwards, add in a minced garlic clove. Another alternative is to chop an onion really small, fry it in olive oil and add that. (You will also smell.) Another option would be to take some frozen herbs, thaw/'activate' them with a miniscule amount of boiling water (a tbsp) and then add that. Let the dip sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before eating because then the taste will have blended together. Go wild, it usually works out!

Gourmet Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Here is a quick and easy recipe for a deliciously creamy, hearty, and cheesy Broccoli Cheddar Soup!

______________________________________

VEGETABLES:

1 - Medium White Onion; Diced

1 - Garlic Clove; Minced (or use pre-minced garlic)

1 or 2 - Large Broccoli Heads

1 or 2 - Packages of Frozen Broccoli Florets

3 or 4/5 or 6 - Lg/Md Carrots; Julienne Cut, then cut into small straws. (Use a grater if you want to save time)

______________________________________

DAIRY:

1 - Stick of Salted Butter

1 - Bottle of Heavy Whipping Cream

1 - Block of Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese (substitute for whatever cheese you like, I like Extra Sharp)

______________________________________

MEAT:

5 - Slices of Bacon

______________________________________

MISC:

1 - Package of All-purpose Flour

1 - Package of Chicken Stock

______________________________________

SEASONINGS:

Basil Leaves, Black Pepper, Cajun Seasoning, Chicken Bouillon, Garlic Salt, Onion Powder, and White Pepper

______________________________________

TOOLS:

2 - Large Pots

1 - Strainer

1 - Immersion Blender

1 - Food Processor

______________________________________

______________________________________

STEP 1:

In one pot put your two broccoli heads and immerse them in water; bring to a boil on High Heat and once boiling, turn down to a Medium Heat.

As your broccoli boils, take your 5 slices of bacon and chop them up into 1 inch pieces.

Heat your other pot on a Medium flame and put it in.

You want to this bacon to become as crispy as it can be without burning.

______________________________________

STEP 2:

Once your bacon has crisped up perfectly, remove it from the pot and dump in your onions.

You want to caramelize these onions in the bacon fat.

By this time your broccoli should be fork tender.

Check on it, and once cooked through, turn off the heat and leave it for now.

Before your onions are almost fully caramelized, add in 2 Tbsps of Minced Garlic and stir around until the onions are finished.

Add in 2 Tbsps of Salted Butter and let melt.

Then add 1 Cup of All-Purpose Flour and stir until the onions, garlic, and butter all become one thick jam.

______________________________________

STEP 3:

De-glaze the pot by adding in 4 Cups of Chicken Stock (or the whole package since 4 Cups = 1 Package of Stock).

Stir vigorously and let it simmer.

Next we will be adding our broccoli heads to the stock, as well as the broccoli water.

We do not need to season the water or the stock at this moment, that will come later.

Turn off the heat to both pots, take out the broccoli heads, and pour 2 cups equivalent of the broccoli water into the soup pot.

Afterwards add in the broccoli heads after cutting them up into large chunks.

Break out the Immersion Blender and blend the broccoli heads until a smooth and lump free sea of green appears!

______________________________________

STEP 4:

Bringing our attention back to the pot we boiled our broccoli in…

Add all packages of our frozen broccoli florets into the pot!

Immerse in water and then bring to a boil on High Heat; once boiling, lower the heat to Medium and let it simmer.

Back to our Soup Pot:

Add in 1 Cup of Heavy Whipping Cream

Then season with 4 Tbsps of Basil Leaves, 3 Tbsps of Black Pepper, 3 Tbsp of Cajun Seasoning (Optional), 2 Tbsps of Chicken Bouillon, 1 Tbsp of Onion Powder, 2 Tbsps of White Pepper, and Garlic Salt to Taste

Mix and blend thoroughly!

OPTIONAL:

It is at this point, that you can control how thin or thick you want this soup.

I didn't add any more flour because I like my broccoli cheddar thin, but if you want a thicker soup, keep adding in flour gradually and blending until you've reached your desired level.

______________________________________

STEP 5:

It is now time to add our carrots and brocolli florets (when ready) into the soup and let everything simmer down.

But as we do, let us turn our attention to our crispy bacon for a moment.

Bring out a food processor and dump in all that crispy goodness and then pulse until everything is bits!

It is up to you how you use the bits.

You can use them as a topping, or you can dump them in and add extra flavor to your pot.

I am doing the latter.

______________________________________

FINAL STEP:

Get out your block of cheese and a fine grater.

You're going to grate the entire block of cheese and then add it into the soup.

Let it all simmer down and melt into the soup; stirring occasionally until all the cheese is melted in, and then kill the heat.

Enjoy your Gourmet Broccoli Cheddar Soup!

It's Sweet Corn Season: Notes on Sweet Corn and American Kindness

Hooray! Sweet corn season has arrived in Iowa! Tim, our Facilities Manager, invited me over to pick up some sweet corn from his friend’s field. An invitation I gladly accepted, as I have been developing a deep fascination of the crop’s cultural and economic importance here in the heart of the Iowan corn belt. Actually, sweet corn was originally grown by several Native American tribes. The Iroquois gave the first recorded sweet corn to European settlers in 1779 and it soon became a popular food item in the southern and central regions of the United States - and has been so ever since.

Tim's invitation was a delicious chance to try some of that stuff everybody keeps talking about, so I was more than happy to spend a few hours learning some new stuff about corn.

After driving to Audubon, passing the gigantic Albert the Bull statue along the way, we went out in the cornfield with blue skies above and that powerful July sun shining down on us. Field corn can typically grow 7 – 10 feet tall, while sweet corn plants are several feet shorter, Tim told me.

We quickly managed to fill up a wagon with fresh sweet corn and Tim introduced me to his drone, so I could see the cornfield from above - you sure don't want to get lost around here! We returned afterwards and made the harvest ready for our dinner. Tim turned on his grill, and made some of the best cheeseburgers I have had in a long in time, while his friend, Michelle, and I, prepared the sweet corn for our meal.

Iowans take their corn seriously, and I was surprised to see how efficient one can indulge sweet corn with two corn holders and then simply coat it in butter. The dish we made is called ‘corn on the cob,’ which means that it has been boiled (but can also be steamed, or grilled) whole and the kernels are then eaten directly off the cob or cut off.

It was a funny night and I truly enjoyed expanding my knowledge on sweet corn and eating some all-Iowan food in great company.

And great company is what it is all about.

From day one, I have enjoyed the friendliness of my colleagues at the Museum of Danish America. Recently, Shelli from our development team invited me to the Shelby County Fair, where we enjoyed a country music concert and saw a lot of new farm equipment and different animals. Most importantly, her sweet husband introduced me to the mighty brats straight from his grill and Shelli had bought icecream from Dairy Queen and mixed it up with her awesome homemade brownies. Julia, our Registrar, planned a whole day of fun activities in Winterset, Iowa, where we visited a variety of cool museums (who knew quilting would be so interesting!), and Deb, our Development Manager, invited me to my first Fourth of July celebration and made the day a perfect memory for the scrapbook. And Nan, our Design Store Manager, invited me over to the cinema where she volunteers in the weekends to watch the new "Elvis" film.

Furthermore, the first day I arrived, Diya, the Albert Ravenholt Curator of Danish-American Culture, invited me to the Farmer’s Market in Des Moines, which is among some of the finest in the nation. And tomorrow Diya has invited me to join her and other colleagues for some paletas in Des Moines, which I look very much forward to.

I am lucky to be surrounded by so many sweet people and I really cherish the friendly and kind gestures like that. It makes you feel welcome, which is really important when you’re so far away from home. But it also gives you a great chance to develop new friendships, while simply creating some amazing memories along the way. My experience with Americans has always been good, and I guess that’s part of the reason of why I am so fascinated by the United States.

Whenever I have been in this nation, I have been met with open arms, genuine curiosity, and I am so grateful for the friendliness I have encountered and the people I have met on my American journey: This is the land of the generous and home of the kind, both being important parts of what I consider American characteristics.

Best from Anders Tornsø Jørgensen

grocery shopping | miya atsumu x reader

request: Grocery shopping with Atsumu. You tell him to pick up some stuffs from the dairy counter(like cheese, milk, etc) but when you see him walking towards you, all he is holding is Family pack Ice creams in different flavours.💕😂 "But they were looking at me like 'pick us up', and so I did🥺", he explains. @nkogneatho

notes: hi dear, sorry this took so long, i was going to write headcannons or a drabble at most and then all sorts of funny ideas started popping up in my head. i included your req ofc but it’s not the main focus if that’s okay.

characters: pro vb player!miya atsumu x f!reader

genre/warnings: mostly crack tbh, fluff, very chaotic, y/n thinks she’s getting kidnapped and freaks, they take a ride on a grocery cart, y/n accidentally finds out her boss is a sugar mommy?,tsumu is a sweet boyfie

words: 1.5k

summary: you take atsumu with you on a shopping trip. chaos ensues.

It probably would have been a smarter choice to pick a day when the supermarket was less busy, but the fridge was almost empty and in dire need of replenishing. Today marks Day 3 of you and Atsumu’s new diet, one that he needs since he’s starting an intense conditioning regimen. You decided to participate as well in order to support him, and to get into the habit of eating healthier yourself.

You leave Atsumu’s side to take a basket, but he beats you to it, wheeling out a shopping cart instead. You tilt your head in puzzlement. “Atsumu, we’re not going to buy that much food, we’ll never finish it all.” He takes your wrist in one hand and starts steering the cart with the other. “You’ll see”

You stop at the fresh produce section, tossing an assortment of fruit and veggies in your trolley as Atsumu perks up beside you, getting an idea. “____, let’s get steak today so I can cook for you.” You raise an eyebrow, skeptical of his abilities. And for good reason. “‘Tsumu, you tried to make me breakfast two weeks ago and I don’t think those eggs were even edible.” He puts a hand on his hip and fakes a pout. “Babe, have some faith in me. ‘Samu might be the chef of the family, but trust me on this, I promise I’m not going to poison you.” Despite still being slightly suspicious, you decide not to question him.

You grab a few salad kits for good measure then pull out your phone to tick off your grocery list. “Bread, check, energy bars, check, produce, check, salad mix, check…okay, I think all that’s left is meat and dairy, let’s go get your steak.” You glance up when he didn’t answer. “‘Tsumu?” Your boyfriend has disappeared and so has the grocery cart.

You look for him in the meat aisle. Nothing. You look in the next aisle. Nothing. You’re about to send him a text when you suddenly feel a pair of hands seize you by waist, taking you away from the secure ground beneath your feet. Your life flashes before your eyes. Headlines of “Missing person, last seen at XX Mart” fills your mind. No way is this happening right now. I am NOT getting abducted in broad daylight, in the middle of a crowded grocery store! I have to get help; I can’t go down without a fight.

You yelp while struggling in the hold of your attacker, furiously kicking at empty space. You see an old woman a little farther down the aisle. There’s hope. “Help! Somebod- ” you shriek in panic before a hand comes up to muffle your words. “____! Chill out, it’s me!” You still at the sound of your boyfriend. Too late. The elderly woman approaches you, swinging her cane and nearly whacks Atsumu in the shoulder. “Ma’am, ma’am! This is a misunderstanding, I’m her boyfriend,” he explains, fending her off. She slowly withdraws her cane and stares at you. “Is that true?” You meet her eyes, then mumble an affirmation, ducking your head shamefully. “Young women nowadays… back in my youth, I never would have dared to cause such a scene,” she tsks, glaring at you disapprovingly before she walks away. Oops.

Atsumu sets you down, eyeing you with furrowed brows. “____. Bro, what the fuck?” You can only smile sheepishly. “Sorry that I freaked out on you. I thought I was about to fall victim to human trafficking. But you know how scared I get when my mom sends me articles about girls getting kidnapped,” you point out, attempting to defend yourself. He sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose. “I told you before, nothing will happen when you’re with me. Did you forget who you were? You’re ____, Miya Atsumu’s girl, and no one gets to mess with you.”

You instantly soften at his words but puff your cheeks out afterwards. “Hmph, well something could have happened just now, and it’d be all your fault for leaving me,” you accuse, pretending to sulk. He gestures at the security cameras. “There are cameras everywhere, not to mention this whole place is crawling with people. Besides, even if something were to happen, I would come for you. No one can touch Miya Atsumu’s girlfriend and get away with it.” He taps the handle of the cart. “Anyways, get in. This is why I insisted on taking this thing.”

“ You’re not serious. We’re too old for this, we can’t be doing things like riding shopping carts,” you reasoned. He rolls his eyes. “Bullshit, me and ‘Samu used to do this a lot and still do sometimes. And don’t lie to me, I know you want to, so get in before people come into aisle.” You bite your lip. He was right, so you don’t protest when he picks you up again and places you inside with your legs over the front. “Hold on tight.”

He puts one foot on the metal bar and pushes off the ground with the other, then hops on, propelling you forward, riding off the momentum. You clutch at the sides of the cart, feeling the air whip at your face, wind running through your hair. The two of you laugh in glee like children.

All was well until a woman’s back comes into view. Your eyes widen. “Baby, stop, we’re going to hit her!” He curses and immediately steps down, reducing the speed until the wheels squeak to a stop, just in time. You turn towards him to scold him. “I knew this was a bad idea; that was so dangerous! We could have hit this lady or even gotten hurt ourselves trying to avoid her!”

“Very fortunate that you didn’t, Miss ____,” says a voice. A very familiar voice. You twist your body back around, looking directly into the stern eyes of your manager. You take a moment, becoming conscious of your current state: hair disheveled, clothes in disarray, legs dangling over the edge of a shopping cart to top it all off. Is there a worse way to encounter your boss outside of work? You hastily straighten up. Well, straighten up the best you could in the situation. You smile nervously. “Ms. Wright! Wow, hi! What a coincidence seeing you here!” You notice a young man standing beside her. “Oh, I didn’t know you had a son. He’s really handsome, you must be proud,” you added. She purses her lips, clearly displeased. “Actually, Miss ____, he’s not my son, he’s my boyfriend. We have a busy agenda today. If there’s nothing else, I’ll see you at work on Monday.”

Your face turns white as you process what just happened. The atmosphere is silent. Atsumu starts to push the cart, waiting until you make it to another aisle before bursting into laughter. “Miya! That was so not funny. I can’t believe that happened. First, she sees me in this state. Then, I mistake her boyfriend for her son? I even called him handsome! Oh my god, it’s really over for me.”

“Calm down, she said to see you at work, it’s fine. Plus, it’s not your fault you didn’t know she was a cougar. That sugar baby must be living the lif- ” You gasp and reach up to cover his mouth before he says anything else. “Shush, Atsumu! What if she’s still around? Yeah, I’m definitely going to see her on Monday…so she can fire me!” you groan. “Just get me out of this stupid cart so we can finish buying what we need, I just want to go home so I can curl up and scream into the blankets.” He smirks. “Oh, you want to scream in bed? No problem, leave that to me.” You slap his arm, and he feigns hurt.

While at the cash register, you realize that you forgot a few items. “Shit, ‘Tsumu, I forgot the butter and yoghurt. Can you quickly go grab those?” He nods. “Wait here, I’ll be fast.” A couple minutes pass and you grow worried, watching the employee scan the last of your groceries.

You finally see your boyfriend return with his arms full. Except, what he’s carrying are massive pints of ice cream. You cross your arms. “Atsumu. What did I just say? This doesn’t look like butter and yoghurt.”

He peers at you with puppy eyes. “Babe, you can’t blame me. They were calling out to me and begging to be picked up! Besides, I got both your favourite flavour and mine. We need this for movie night.”

“What about the diet?”

“It’s not a big deal. Also, you seem like you need this after what happened. And I feel like I might have been responsible for some of it. Just a bit.”

You sigh and pay for the ice cream. He’s got a point. Guess you’ll have to make another trip to the store tomorrow.

a/n: actually this is the first time i’m writing a crack fic, but i have crack hcs in my wips if anyone is curious! i’m not even sure if this is funny or nah lmaoo please let me know

Like many weight reduction plans, though, the important points are essential.  As a member of a balanced dietplan, smoothies are able to assist you to drop weight.  However, components, part size, along with your general eating plan can make All of the difference.2 What Pros Say "The smoothie diet promises rapid body fat reduction, but pounds discard can be recovered when switching into regular eating customs.  While increasing vegetable and fruit intake is still also smart, many folks may fight to match protein requirements within this diet without proper preparation " --Chrissy Carroll, RD, MPH Wallpaper Sgoutas is just actually really a gym (perhaps maybe not really just a registered dietitian) who generated the 21day Smoothie Diet to help customers shed weight.  His e book,"The Smoothie Diet," comprises 3 6 smoothie recipes, shopping lists, and also a three-week schedule describing that smoothies to get ready daily.  Additionally, he has a"detox" program with recipes and directions for substituting three meals daily with smoothies for 3 times.3

The Way It Works With this particular eating planyou are going to prepare yourself to beverage just two cup daily as meal replacements.  Your next meal is all up for you, however to find the very best results it will be lower in calories.  Sgoutas also proposes one"cheat day" a week but has an experienced food list to get this particular afternoon.  In addition, he says it is okay to replicate exactly that the 21day cycle anytime you may love to shed weight.

Things to Eat The smoothie ingredients vary, however they focus on vegetables and fruits, together with a few protein and healthful fats.  There's some guidance in e book to your 1 solid-food meal that you will eat daily (strategies for the things to eat, and also a number"whole food" recipes).  Sgoutas highlights if that particular meal is overly full of carbs, the diet will not benefit weight reduction.  The e book also comprises some indicated low-sugar, high-protein snacks.

Recommended Timing On the"detoxification" plan, three daily meals are substituted together with all smoothies.  On the 21day program, you're eat up two meal-replacement smoothies (lunch and breakfast ), 1 solid-food meal, and a couple snacks.

Modifications If needed, organize a"bend afternoon," by that you have just a smoothie along with 2 routine meals.  Also of note: that the ebook implies that diet isn't right appropriate suitable for folks who have allergies. Experts Vegetables and berries

The smoothie diet's recipes comprise loads of veggies and fruits, which are a necessary aspect of a wholesome diet.  They have a tendency to be reduced in calories and full of phyto nutrients.   Less Counting Unlike a number of other diet programs, the smoothie diet does not necessitate carbohydrate counting, either a food journal, or fulltime carbohydrate counting.  It can urge being alert to the calorie count on your everyday solid-food meal.  Together with recipes along with weekly meal plans (which can be smoothie plans) provided, there's perhaps not lots of tracking or decision-making included, and it is a blessing for a number of users.   Shopping Lists The e book comprises shopping lists divided by smoothie and weekly, which computes grocerystore visits throughout the 3 weeks of this diet.  Buteven with all these benefits, pros have concerns regarding the smoothie diet's efficacy and endurance.   

Cons Restrictive

The majority of the diet's smoothies have been high in protein, and a couple of flunk in healthy carbs.  Sgoutas does highlight getting enough protein through the afternoon, advocating at least 50 g daily by eating only just a little with each snack and meal.    But, a few individuals might require extra advice on this particular issue--without appropriate preparation, may fall brief meeting their nourishment demands.4 In case you're utilizing a smoothie like a meal replacement, then be sure it comprises every single crucial macronutrient: fat, protein, and carbs. Generally, fresh fruit juices have a tendency to comprise lots of calories and perhaps a little bit of fat.  Nevertheless in addition they require a fantastic supply of lean protein.  Protein can help build muscle, that you simply want to keep up a wholesome metabolic rate.  Consider adding a tablespoon or 2 chia seeds into some smoothie.  The seeds may thicken your beverage and supply a boost of fiber also. Saturated in Sugar The 21day Smoothie Diet's smoothies have a great deal of fresh fruit.  While fresh fruit leads healthy nourishment, in addition, it comprises a great deal of sugarlevels.  Some smoothies additionally involve honey, an extra sugar. This really is a problem for individuals with specific medical circumstances (which explains the reason it is recommended for individuals with diabetes).5 This 175-calorie peanut butter lotion is both sweet and creamy minus the inclusion of some additional sugars. Some smoothie recipes (in the diet ( rather than never ) have become thick.  It could be tempting to lean out them using juice.  But juice may add a lot of unnecessary and calories sugar.  Water is likely to create your smoothie a lot simpler to beverage and ice hockey will add depth.  Consider decreasing the quantity of juice along with adding ice or water to find the ideal depth and taste to you.

Timeconsuming Making a couple of smoothies each day (and cleansing the grinder afterward) does take some time.  And as you can readily prep a early morning meal and go with you for breakfast on the move, it's much tougher to get a smoothie for lunch in case you are far from your home and have no access to any or all of your ingredients and also a blender. Maybe not Heard It's probable that users will shed weight immediately if they start that this diet since they're cutting off calories (while maybe cutting calories such as protein and healthful fats).  But substituting foods with fluids, and residing on so few moments, is not some thing which many folks can endure doing for quite a long time.3 Additionally, it's likely to shed muscles if you shed weight too fast.  If a person extends straight back for their normal eating routine and also raises their caloric intake, then they might possibly come across the pounds return again.  This really is why the e book proposes replicating the 21day diet as frequently as required. Lacks Evidence There's not any robust scientific evidence to back up the idea of detoxification dietsin part because there isn't any obvious definition of just exactly what type of detoxification can.  Your system naturally"detoxes" it self during digestion and excretion (for example, gut evacuations and perspiration ).  Organs, just such as the kidneys, are all supposed to naturally whiten your own body.  Nobody food or food combination may achieve so on it's own. How It Compares Smoothie diets similar to that you are very favorite, however, you will also find similarities between your 21day Smoothie Diet as well as additional shortterm, low-carb, and also meal-replacement diets.  Take note though , frequently, these do not meet qualified advice on healthy diet programs.3

USDA Tips Food Groups USDA nutrition tips indicate filling your plate having a balanced mixture of fruit, protein, berries, vegetables, and milk.  That is for every single meal, not simply a single day.  It's hard to get those nutrition and food groups to some meal-replacement smoothie but have it be yummy and low in carbs. Calories For weight reduction, the USDA recommends that a daily caloric intake6 of approximately 1500 calories.  Sgoutas does urge approximately 1500 calories each day from the e book.  However, the smoothies at"The Smoothie Diet" clock in at less than making it hard to make it to the 1500-calorie target without over indulging from the main one daily meal. Creating a calorie shortage is frequently the perfect method to shed weight economically and effectively.  Nevertheless, the ideal quantity of calories differs for everybody else, due to factors like age, gender, weight, and activity level.  Use this calculator to ascertain the calorie goal which may do the job with youpersonally. 

Similar Diets These diets promise rapid weight reduction.  But specialists say they are not unlikely to result in lasting change.3 The Smoothie Diet Effectiveness: for the brief term, most followers of the diet can shed weight.  However, to maintain off it, they may need to keep on the diet beyond the 21day period. General nutrition: For many users, two dwelling meal-replacement shakes each day, and a"routine" meal, might well not supply the ideal balance of carbs, carbohydrates, protein, and healthful fats that your body demands. Practicality: plenty with the diet's rules and directions are spelled out at the e book, leaving to work out all on your own.  However, preparing two matches each day might be difficult for anybody who works outside your home.  Plus, there exists a whole good deal of clean up. Sustainability: Almost any meal-replacement diet is challenging to stay to for the longterm, since those replacements frequently are not as pleasing as real food. Slim-fast Disposition: This diet can surely succeed for the brief term, since it cuts off calories and is so very simple to check out along with few choices to create. General nutrition: About the slim-fast plan, users beverage 2 meal-replacement shakes each day, together side a few 100-calorie snacks (slim-fast generated or homemade) plus a full meal of 500 to 800 calories.  The shakes are all manufactured out of dairy food along with other additional flavors and nutrients also contain fiber, protein, and fatloss. Practicality: Without any blending your smoothies on this particular dietjust purchase pre-made slim fast shakes, or mix your own personal together using non fat milk and slim-fast power.  Much like the Smoothie Diet, you need to track the calories of their daily routine meal. Sustainability: Transitioning off the snack and meal replacements and eating fewer calories could be hard for lots of men and women. Special K Diet Effectiveness: Many research demonstrates that cutting calories for this particular method may result in weight loss.  But, it's uncertain just how long that this loss might be kept. General nutrition: About the unique K Diet snacks and bars (fortified with certain nutritional elements ) are absorbed for just 2 of 3 meals each day for just a couple of weeks.  As nearly all of one's diet are processed that this really isn't the greatest nutritional option.  Additionally, it's perhaps not well suited for everybody and does not focus on people that suffer from allergies or other health problems. Practicality: Just Much like slim-fast, this diet is really straightforward to follow along.  There's not any tracking or restructuring, and also the exceptional K services and products are easily obtainable and inexpensive. Sustainability: This diet is supposed to be considered a shortterm (two-week) plan.  However, any weight lost in this manner might be challenging to maintain off. Dr. Oz's 21day Diet Effectiveness: Like every different diets, end customers can achieve some shortterm success.  But as with the Smoothie Diet, Dr. Oz says that replicating his 21day plan may possibly be critical. General nutrition: During this ordered meal program, users pick from the prescribed set of foods: Largely veggies and fats that are fermented, together using limited portions of fresh fruit, grains, and animal proteins (sugars and also most of processed foods are emptied ).  Though these foods deliver great nutrition, experts state that the program is overly restrictive for lifelong usage. Practicality: this course of action does not require any calorie counting or food tracking whatsoever.  What's set out from the listing of foods, amount of portions, and (many ) percentage sizes.  With no distinctive supplements or ingredients are essential.  However, preparing all foods (as processed and convenience foods aren't allowed) could be timeconsuming. Sustainability: This diet cuts out plenty of popular food items also also limits carbs so for a lot of people, it's unlikely to become something that they are able to endure for quite a while. A Word From Very-well As you're able to acquire recipe ideas by the Smoothie Diet's e book, look at producing your own healthful smoothies and with these as part of a thoughtful, balanced diet program.  For optimum results, measure each component and tally the comprehensive calorie count for the beverage.  This may save you in creating a typical weight-loss error --underestimating the effect of fluid calories.3 Use frozen or fresh fruit, like berries, blueberries, mango, apples or pears.  But additionally, branch out and then utilize components like spinach, broccoli or kale for extra minerals and vitamins.​  Attempt this ​green smoothie for vitamin-packed green vegetables along together with your meal. If losing weight is the goal, keep away from utilizing high-grade ingredients to find yourself a creamy feel.  A smoothie made out of ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt, along with even perhaps a great deal of peanut butter is yummy, however it could be too much in carbs, fat, and glucose that will assist you to shed weight.  Bananas, either suspended or at room temperature, provide a smooth, smooth feel with no additional calories and fat. If you like the taste of peanut butter, then elect to get a natural fresh and maintain your portion of one tbsp.  If you're wanting to lower the calories you're able to think about a peanut butter bear in your mind it could possibly perhaps well not be as satisfying.  Hurry to discover smoothies which work with youpersonally, and also other healthful recipes which provide a great deal of nutrition without plenty of calories. Last, remember that De-Tox" diets aren't suggested for several folks, including children, pregnant women and pregnant women, and also other folks who have certain health issues.  Prior to beginning any diet make sure to share it with your doctor first.

The Eight Worst Holiday Food and Drink Combos

Holidays are not only a time for family and friends, but one of the times where food plays a big role in the celebrations, with special holiday food and drink that we all like to have. Delicious dinners, rich appetizers and all those yummy deserts are just as much a part of the holidays as the decorations and gifts. And at this time of year we're all (even those of us who usually eat healthy) in the mood for a little indulgence.

A study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that most of us will gain about a pound between Thanksgiving dinner and the New Year's celebrations.

Sure that doesn't sound like a lot, but the research also finds that this extra weight never comes back off.

So to help you keep your calorie intake under control, we've pulled together eight healthier options to the traditional holiday treats we all enjoy.

1) Cheese straws are made from a block of cheddar cheese combined with flour and as much as a full cup of butter. You're better off snacking on pretzels, popcorn or some whole grain chips and salsa.

2) Swedish meatballs are a delicious appetizer but with a whopping 300 calories (just under half from fat) and include white bread, butter, heavy cream and salt laden beef broth. Choose a handful of mixed nuts of shrimp cocktail, or use some of the lighter recipes available.

3) Eggnog has not one redeeming nutritional aspect, and it's easy to see why with things like sugar, eggs, whipping cream and bourbon. Instead choose beverages like hot chocolate or spiced cider. You might also try lighter versions of this holiday favorite if you simply must indulge, and remember to watch those potion sizes.

4) Stuffed potatoes while rich in vitamin C and fiber, when laden with cheese, sour cream and butter take a good thing to a bad place. To make them healthier use low fat dairy products, add good for you onions or spinach, and try turkey bacon or herbs for added flavor.

5) Creamed spinach is another case where holidays take a healthy veggie and add cream, butter and cheese to create a dish with more than 75% of your saturated fat for the day. Use low fat milk and light cream cheese instead of the cream when making this dish to save on calories.

6) Pot roast a popular and delicious part of the holidays, but even lean versions of this meat contain 7 grams of saturated fat. Add to that the calories from the gravy and you can see how the trouble starts. Consider lean beef tenderloin or the white meat of a turkey as healthier options.

7) Fruitcake does indeed have fruit, but it also includes plenty of butter, sugar and corn syrup, so that you'd actually be better off having a slice of pumpkin pie (about 250 calories/slice) instead. If this is your favorite, consider some lighter recipes and watch your portion sizes.

8) Pecan pie is centered around pecans which are a high calorie nut on their own, and then add sugar, butter and corn syrup to create a dessert where a single slice will deliver more than 500 calories, 20 grams of fat and 30 grams of sugar. Try lighter pies instead - apple, sweet potato or pear-cranberry versions.

And if you can't resist calorie-laden holiday food and drink favorite, try and control the size of your portion. A single piece of pecan pie or half a loaded baked potato are ways to enjoy a rich taste, without all the calories, and pounds that won't come off easily afterward.

If You're Not Eating, But Need To:

So, I've recently been going through a pretty long depressive episode, and one of my biggest problems (besides the obvious) is that I tend to avoid eating when I'm experiencing this. Obviously, this is kinda not a good thing, so if you're going through something similar, I put together some of the tips I've been using to help myself out - in the hope I can help someone else.

General Tips!

Keep snacks on hand. Small snacks, like granola bars or a pack of trail mix. Munch when you have a spare moment

Keep food close by - if you can't get out if bed some days, keep a stocked cooler or a box of non-perishables in your bedroom

For the days you can get out of bed - easy food. Microwaveables, five-minute dinners, sandwiches, finger food. Boxed mixes work well for this, or prepackaged meals that you can heat up

If you're feeling good one day - take the time to make a few extra lunches for the future. Use things that won't spoil easily.

Keep favorite foods on hand. For me, that's hot cocoa and Funyuns. Is it healthy? Hell no. Is it better than nothing? Hell yes.

Reward yourself for eating a full meal, especially if it's well-balanced. If you sit down and eat, treat yourself to a sweet afterward. (Dark chocolate, in my case)

Eating food > healthy choices. First, get the hang of putting food in your body regularly, then you can start worrying about what it is.

College Tricks!

Keep food in your dorm room for when the cafeteria is too far away. Ramen is unhealthy, but it's easy to make with a friend's Keurig.

Oatmeal also works really well for this purpose, and is my personal favorite.

Ask a friend/roommate to bring something back for you if you can't get out of bed

Better yet, schedule a mandatory dinner/lunch meet-up with a friend or roommate every week, if you can.

If you can, put aside a few bucks a week when you're feeling okay, so you can have a little stash when/if you need to order food.

Keep a schedule. Know when you're going to be close to the cafeteria for your classes, and schedule in mealtimes. Work homework and etc around them

Starting Again (after a period of not eating)

The nausea is real, and it gets me really hard after I have to try and start eating again, so here's what helps me there.

Start with liquids - not water, something with calories. For me, that's Gatorade or juice. If it's too sweet, cut it with water.

Bland foods work best. Saltine crackers/soda crackers are a good choice. So is plain bread or toast with butter.

Also, soup. Anything with a chicken-broth base usually works well for me (and yes, this can include ramen). Cream-based soups are heavier - I avoid them at first.

Applesauce is another that works for me. Fresh fruit in general works for me, in small amounts. Especially apples, for whatever reason.

Plain pasta. With butter or olive oil, usually, and in small quantities.

If you're craving something (for me, usually olives or pickles, probably because the salt) indulge. Not too much, just in case, but eat it.

Smoothies. I do use protein powder, because I don't eat much meat. Usually I toss a banana, rice milk, ice, and my protein powder in a blender and drink that slowly.

Milk and soymilk are heavy liquids, in my opinion - rice milk isn't. I'm lucky that my school has rice milk, but otherwise try to avoid dairy.

Sorbet over ice cream. It has the added bonus of you rewarding yourself for eating!

Again, for right now- Eating food > Eating healthy. Eat your favorite foods and use them to coax yourself back onto a routine. Once you get a routine down, you can start injecting healthier options

Anyway, this is just some stuff that's helped me in the past and recently, so I thought I'd share! Feel free to add things I've missed.

(note: this isn't about anorexia - it's about me not having the energy to force myself to eat, even when I'm hungry. I have no idea if this will work for folks with eating disorders, though I hope that it might be able to)

What Recipes Use Buttermilk

Hi there! If you're looking for some delicious recipes that use buttermilk, then you've come to the right place. I'm a big fan of cooking with buttermilk because it adds such a creamy texture and delicate flavor to dishes. It's especially great in baked goods like pancakes and muffins, as well as savory dishes like chicken fried steak. In this article, I'll share my favorite recipes using buttermilk so you can make something yummy for your family tonight. But first, let's talk about what makes buttermilk such an amazing ingredient when cooking. It has all the tanginess of regular milk but is much thicker and richer than its counterpart. Plus, it helps create light and fluffy pastries that will have everyone coming back for seconds (and thirds)! So if you want to whip up something special with a unique flavor profile, then definitely give these recipes featuring buttermilk a try - they won't disappoint! What Is Buttermilk? I've always been fascinated by buttermilk - it's a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in many recipes. But what exactly is buttermilk? It's actually made from low-fat milk and contains lactic acid bacteria, which gives it its unique taste. Better yet, it also has some great health benefits: it's packed with calcium, vitamin B12, potassium, phosphorous and riboflavin. The best way to store buttermilk is in the refrigerator or freezer. If you're storing it in the fridge, make sure to use an airtight container so that no outside odors get into your buttermilk. You should also consume any opened containers within 2 weeks of opening them for maximum freshness. Freezing will help extend the shelf life up to 6 months. Buttermilk is a fantastic staple ingredient for cooking as well as baking! Its creamy texture adds richness to pancakes, waffles and muffins while its acidic flavor helps tenderize meats like chicken wings or pork chops. Plus, there are plenty of other uses for this incredible ingredient, including adding depth and complexity to salad dressings and dip sauces. Benefits Of Cooking With Buttermilk Cooking with buttermilk has so many benefits that it's hard to pick just one! Not only does the tangy flavor of buttermilk give recipes a unique and delicious taste, it also packs in plenty of nutritional value. When you use this dairy substitute instead of whole milk or cream, your dishes will be lighter and healthier. Plus, there are lots of different recipes out there that incorporate buttermilk - from pancakes to cakes - making it easy to work into any meal! Buttermilk nutrition is not something to overlook either. This amazing ingredient contains fewer calories than other types of milk while providing more calcium and protein than most plant-based alternatives like almond milks or oat milks. And since buttermilk doesn't contain lactose, those who have difficulty digesting dairy products can still enjoy its health benefits without having to worry about stomach discomfort afterward. In addition, cooking with buttermilk helps promote digestive health by introducing beneficial bacteria into your meals. These friendly microbes help break down food so it can be easily absorbed by your body for nourishment. By using this natural probiotic regularly in your diet, you'll be able to get all the vitamins and minerals needed for optimal wellness every day! Pancakes I love cooking with buttermilk for its creamy texture, and it's especially great in pancakes. It gives pancakes a light, fluffy texture that you just can't get with any other ingredient! Plus, there are plenty of ingredient substitutions if you don't have buttermilk on hand; plain yogurt or sour cream work well too. To make the perfect pancakes using buttermilk, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar and ¼ teaspoon baking soda in a large bowl. In another bowl mix one egg yolk, 1 cup of buttermilk and 2 tablespoons melted butter until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while stirring continuously to combine them both. Then let the batter sit for 5 minutes so it thickens up slightly before adding it to your preheated skillet. Once your pancake is golden brown on each side, serve warm topped with fresh fruit and syrup - delicious! Buttermilk adds an unbeatable flavor and texture to these classic breakfast favorites that will leave everyone asking for more. Muffins I love baking with buttermilk! It adds a wonderfully creamy texture to whatever I'm making. Muffins are no exception. Not only does it add richness, but the acidity helps activate the leavening agents, like baking soda and baking powder, ensuring perfectly risen muffins every time. There is no need to worry if you don't have any on hand though; there are plenty of substitutions that work just as well. You can use sour cream or yogurt in place of buttermilk for similar results. If neither of those options work for you, there's always adding vinegar or lemon juice to regular milk it will create an acidic solution without having to buy anything special. As far as storage solutions go, it's best to keep your buttermilk refrigerated until ready to use. The shelf life isn’t too long so be sure to check expiration dates before using it in recipes. However, leftover buttermilk stored properly can last up to two weeks after opening the container, allowing enough time for more delicious muffin-making fun! Savory Dishes It's time to spice things up with some savory dishes that use buttermilk! From hearty fried chicken to creamy macaroni salad, there are plenty of recipes you can make with this versatile ingredient. Let's get cooking! Fried chicken is a classic dish made even better when cooked in buttermilk. The tangy flavor adds an extra layer of deliciousness and the combination gives the coating an irresistible crunch. To make it, simply marinate your chicken pieces overnight in a mixture of buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Then drain off any excess liquid before dredging each piece in seasoned flour and frying them until golden brown. Macaroni salad is another great way to enjoy the flavors of buttermilk. Start by making a dressing out of mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice or white wine vinegar, sugar, parsley flakes, mustard powder or prepared yellow mustard, celery seed or celery salt. Whisk everything together until smooth then slowly stir in 1-2 cups of buttermilk until you reach your desired consistency. Toss with cooked macaroni pasta and diced vegetables like red onions and bell peppers for a side dish everyone will love at your next gathering. No matter what type of meal you're planning to make – from breakfast burritos to dinner entrees – don't forget to include buttermilk on your list of ingredients! It'll add a tasty twist to all kinds of recipes sure to satisfy your taste buds every time. Frequently Asked Questions Is Buttermilk Vegan? When it comes to the Current Toipic of whether buttermilk is vegan, the answer isn't a simple yes or no. Buttermilk traditionally comes from dairy products like cows' milk and therefore would not be considered vegan. However, there are some vegan substitutes that can provide similar flavor and texture profiles as buttermilk such as almond-coconut milk blends. If you're looking for dairy free options, consider trying other plant-based milks like oat milk or soy milk combined with lemon juice or white vinegar for a tangy taste. How Do I Store Buttermilk? Storing buttermilk is easy! The best temperature to store it at is in your refrigerator, between 35-40 degrees Fahrenheit. It should be kept on a shelf and can last up to two weeks if unopened. Once opened though, you'll want to use it within 7-10 days for the best quality. Buttermilk can also be frozen - just make sure to take out what you need and thaw it overnight in the fridge before using it again. How Long Does Buttermilk Last? When it comes to storing buttermilk, you'll want to pay attention to cooking times and the shelf life. Buttermilk typically lasts between 7-10 days when stored in a refrigerator, however this can vary depending on how long ago it was opened or purchased. It's important to note that once your buttermilk has been opened, it should be used within 5-7 days for optimal freshness. What Is The Difference Between Buttermilk And Regular Milk? So, what's the difference between buttermilk and regular milk? Well, while both are dairy products, they aren't interchangeable. Buttermilk is a fermented dairy product made from cow’s milk that has been treated with lactic acid bacteria. This process gives it a slightly tart flavor compared to regular milk which has not gone through any fermentation or culturing process. It can also be found in non-dairy options like soy and almond milk too! So if you're looking for a milk alternative or non-dairy option, then buttermilk might just be your new go-to! Are There Any Substitutes For Buttermilk? If you don't have any buttermilk on hand, there are plenty of alternatives that can help bring the same flavor and texture to your recipes. Milk is a great alternative for replacing buttermilk in baking because it provides richness without adding an acidic tang. You could also use sour cream or yogurt as these ingredients have similar acidity levels to buttermilk and will work just as well in most recipes. Finally, if you're looking for vegan options, coconut milk mixed with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice works wonderfully too! Conclusion Yes, buttermilk is vegan-friendly! It's a great way to add flavor and thickness without using animal products. Although it has a shorter shelf life than regular milk, storing it in the refrigerator will help extend its lifespan. The main difference between buttermilk and regular milk is that the former contains more fat content and acidity, making it perfect for baking recipes like pancakes or biscuits. If you're unable to find buttermilk at your local grocery store, there are plenty of substitutes available such as yogurt or sour cream mixed with water that can be used instead. So don't worry if you don't have any buttermilk on hand you still have plenty of options when it comes to creating delicious recipes! Read the full article

Chicken Enchiladerole with Sour Cream Sauce

Every year, Tamesr and I make each other food for our birthdays. Worked great when we lived together, still works while we are many states apart. She usually makes me cakes. I tend to be a little more..untraditional.

Yesterday was her birthday. I made her a chicken enchiladerole.

What is an enchiladerole? Well, technically it’s an enchilada. In a casserole dish. I used to be able to roll the enchiladas like a normal person, but as my hands have slowly stopped cooperating over time, I find it much easier to just tear up the tortillas and layer them like a casserole.

But! What’s so interesting about my enchiladerole that I’m making a post about it? It’s...bland. Not spicy, not acidic. I make the chicken, and I make the sauce. Nothing premade here! I’ve got medical restrictions, placing me on a bland diet, so I modify recipes to fit. 

Maybe you’d like to see what I’ve done? Maybe you’re in a similar situation and want to see if you could try something similar? Woo!

I should mention this is heavy on dairy. And the post is long. With pictures!

First off, lemme say, normally I do this in a casserole dish. Yesterday, I did not. I did this in a disposable aluminum pan. The result was a little different than I expected, but not bad. Thusly, do not worry if you do not have a casserole dish (I never had one before I moved back with my parents to help them). Disposable aluminum pans are pretty cheap at the store (I think my 2 pack was maybe a dollar or two.) so even if you don’t want to casserole it and want to roll them like normal, these pans will still fit the bill.

!

Gather your party to move forward.

Preheat your oven to 375 F.

This is the chicken party, chicken not pictured.

2 pounds of chicken meat. Breast fillets or strips or ones that have been cut up for stir fries all work. They’ll all be cut up in the end. Frozen or fresh, no difference (but ya gotta thaw em, silly).

Mayonnaise. 

Garlic (I use minced).

Lemon juice.

Seasonings/spices. I am a weh weh baby and use only rosemary, salt and a dash of cayenne pepper. You can change these to suit your tastes.

Shredded cheese, your choice. 

I picked up this bit from my sister. She uses it when she makes spinach chicken. I like cooked spinach, but it has no place in my enchiladerole. 

My parents use canned chicken chunks when they make their enchiladas. Le yuck. No flavor and it stinks worse than canned tuna, tbh. It’s ok for chicken and dumplings, but not in a dish where chicken is top of the bill.

What we’re going is basically making a paste to dredge the chicken in. The mayo coats it and keeps it from drying out. The lemon juice is to help break down the meat and tenderize it a little. The spices flavor the meat. The cheese makes a happy crust. 

I don’t do fancy measurements. See that spoon? You need 2.5 spoonfuls of mayo. A 5-6 second squeeze of lemon juice. Pinch of salt, dash of cayenne, and two shakes of rosemary. For the garlic, your choice. I use the other end of the spoon and take a dip out of the jar. 

Handful of cheese. Add it a little at a time if you need to, to keep the balance. Remember, you’re going for a paste. Mix it up, should look something like this.

Prep your chicken. You can leave it in the big fillets or chop em into smaller pieces to bake. I find it easier to piece them, since they take less time to cook.

Stick em in the bowl, mush them around with your hand. Don’t worry about them being completely coated, just make sure they’re covered into the mayo. When they’re all coated, you can put the extra cheese on top to make the crust.

Like that. You definitely want to use foil on your pan for this, because there will be liquids. Cheese oil, chicken juice, all that good stuff. Make a little wall around it so it doesn’t get everywhere when you take it out later. Save the crunchy bits that end up around the chicken when they’re done. They’re still good and you can put them in the enchiladerole for extra flavor.

Now, as Alton Brown would say, GO WASH YOUR CHICKEN-Y HANDS.

Now, I put mine in the oven for 45 minutes. However, that is for THIS oven. In the past, I’ve had to cook them for longer, and for shorter. It all depends on your oven. You know it, I don’t. It’s better to underestimate and have to add time than to overdo it and burn the yums. 

Food safety, cook the chicken to an internal temp of 160-165 F to make sure it’s done and any germies are slain. Unless you have a fancy stick thermometer, you’re probably not going to be able to tell. Here’s what you do: cut the biggest piece open and see if its raw inside. If it’s raw, they aren’t done. You want it to look like the inside of a chicken nugget (white), not what it looked like going in (pink and gooey looking).

Like that. 

So now that they’re out of the oven, let em sit. One, they’re hot and you don’t want to handle bitchin hot chicken. Two, whenever you cook meat, you want to let it rest afterwards. This lets it reabsorb some of the liquid that cooked out and other fun culinary stuff.

When you have approximately 15ish minutes left on the chicken cooking, let’s start the sauce.

Have you ever heard of a roux (roo)? We’re going to make a roux. Now you can sound fancy.

AP Flour

Unsalted Chicken stock

Milk (I use whole milk because that’s how I am. Fairlife is lactose free, though. Whether you use regular or lactose free doesn’t matter. Just don’t use like...nut milk. Use the moo juice.)

Butter (I used what was already opened, which was unsalted. If you use salted butter, watch how you add salt in other parts of recipes. It can throw off your groove.)

Sour cream. 

Not pictured here, the same spices as the chicken paste (Cayenne, Rosemary, Salt. No garlic this time, but you can if you want to.)

Also not pictures, more shredded cheese. Haha.

I use about 2 tablespoons of butter. Melt it in your pan, mix in the flour slowly. Probably about a cup of it. You’re the judge of how thick you want your sauce to  be, so adjust to your liking. What we’re doing is helping the flour not be a little bastard and clump when it encounters the fat (the butter), so the sauce can be smooth. Nobody likes lumpy sauce. If you need to, you can add a little bit of the chicken stock to help smooth things out. 

When things are looking pretty well mixed, add in the stock and the milk. Eyeball it, my dudes. Fill the pan a little under halfway with the stock, then the other half with milk. Keep about an inch to the top, otherwise things will get messy when you add in the sour cream later.

When it reaches a simmer, add in your spices and sour cream. Stir stir stir. Don’t let it boil, though. Sour cream doesn’t like to be boiled. Keep stirring. Add in a handful of cheese. Don’t let the flour or the cheese settle on the bottom and burn. That will taste very bad. 

Are you stirring? KEEP STIRRING.

It will eventually look like this. Smooth. Taste it. Taste flour-y? Not done yet. Keep going til it doesn’t taste like flour. You should be able to taste the sour cream and the spices. Need more spice? Add it now. By now, it should reach your desired thickness. At the least, you want it to coat the spoon when you remove it from the sauce. 

Dance break. Bean has come to see you for culinary support. Sing her a song while you wait for the chicken to be handable.

Tear up some tortillas. Flour or corn is your decision. My parents and sister prefer corn. I like flour. I find they fit better with the creamy texture of the sour cream sauce. 

You can make the chicken any size you like. I tend towards bigger bite size pieces because I’m impatient.

Put your first layer of chicken in. Arrange your chicken, toss in some shredded cheese, make another tortilla layer. Repeat til you reach the top of whatever size dish you’re using.

My dumb ass underestimated the depth of these pans and thusly, it fit only one layer. Luckily it was a two pack, so I just made two. Huzzah.

Top layer, now is the time for the sauce. Try to spread it evenly, make sure it gets down the sides or you will have very dry bottom layers.

What’s that? Something is missing?

You’re right, it’s the final cheesening. I told you this recipe was heavy on the dairy. This is why we use the big bag of cheese. This will make your crust. Yom yom.

Stick it in the oven. I put these in for 30 minutes. Added 5 more minutes at the end for the cheese crust to properly brown.

Bean is still here to support you. Sing her another song while you wait for the enchiladeroles to cook.

BAM, as Emeril says. Let it cool for a couple minutes before you cut into it (nobody likes to be burned by shittin hot noms). Eat it now, or put it in the fridge to eat later. Sometimes it’s even better that way, having more time to coalesce flavorfully.

Avocado Brownies and My Chocolate Addiction

I was never a picky eater growing up. I would eat just about anything “normal,” which basically meant anything but sushi, which is now my favorite food. I will say though, I never liked avocados. To me, they were too mushy and lacked good flavor. The consistency was not my favorite to begin with, so I never tried to incorporate it into anything to make myself like it. I think the first time I remember trying avocados was when I tried homemade guacamole for the first time. I did not hate the taste, but if it was in front of me with five other dips, I was not going for that green stuff. Fast forward to my late teens—I ate avocado toast for breakfast like it was going out of style and made homemade guacamole any chance I could. My taste buds fluctuated to say the least.

When I saw this recipe while scrolling through my Instagram, I immediately saved it. “How interesting?!” I thought to myself, slightly doubting it could taste anything like a real brownie. I love a good healthy alternative though, so I clearly cannot knock it until I try it. Which leaves me here-- the perfect opportunity to test out this gluten and dairy free friendly dessert that will leave me feeling less guilty, and my stomach will gladly thank me afterwards.  

The first step is to mash up one avocado in a big bowl. Warning, the consistency looks a little bit like green cottage cheese but trust the process. These are guilt free brownies, what is there to lose? The next step is to add 1/3 cup of pure maple syrup, the best topping on a fresh stack of pancakes on a Sunday morning if you ask me. Then measure ¼ cup of peanut butter and crack two eggs into the same bowl. Once all the wet ingredients are in the bowl, mix it all together and set it aside. In a separate bowl, add the ¼ cup almond flour. This is an ingredient I have not used much prior to this recipe, but it is what makes this recipe gluten free. In the same bowl with the almond flour, add the cocoa and baking powder to complete the dry ingredients. To complete the batter, combine the wet into the dry ingredients. I remember thinking to myself how promising the batter actually looked. The recipe calls for chocolate chips only on top, but I cheated a little and added some extra chips in the batter as well to be a little extra gooey. Before pouring the batter into the pan, the recipe recommends adding parchment paper to avoid sticking. I did not have parchment paper, but I used the old baking method that works like a charm every time-- a little oil and some almond flour to coat the bottom of the pan to prevent it from sticking. The last step is to sprinkle some additional dairy free chocolate chips on top and bam, ready to go into the oven.

One of my favorite memories of baking when I was little was always licking the bowl and spoon that was coated with left over batter. The brownie batter usually came from the box mix instead of homemade, but regardless I was always in charge of mixing everything together with a whisk. I usually got the spoon while my brothers shared the bowl. I remember the batter always tasting so good. Nothing but chocolate, fudgy goodness. I blame this for my chocolate addition today and the need for a piece of dark chocolate after every savory meal. Since it was just me whipping up this batch of “healthy” brownies, I could enjoy both while the brownies were cooking in the oven. I truly felt like an impatient little girl waiting for the brownies to be finished. I could not wait to dig into them.

After the brownies had cooled for a few minutes, I cut them and tasted a corner piece, of course. I could immediately taste the slight flavor of avocado. Being an ultimate dessert lover, I can tell an impostor when I taste one. Right off the bat, without spicing them up, I would rate them a seven out of ten. Considering they were healthy gave some bonus points for not feeling guilty consuming them. They were a little dense and had a fudgy consistency, which I like. They could have been a little sweeter with more of a chocolate flavor. Alone, they were not awful, but they were not super delicious either. So, I experimented a little bit with them. I tossed some in the freezer to let them freeze slightly. Later, I topped my dairy free ice cream with broken up avocado brownie pieces, and surprisingly, it went together perfectly! I would not eat them alone, but they make the perfect ice cream topping. I think these would also work well as a yogurt topping too! Overall, not the best brownie I have ever tasted. As a topping or spiced up though, they were a great alternative! I would make them again if I planned on freezing them, but I might just have to hunt a little harder for the perfect healthy brownie recipe.

World Best 26 Easy Safest Ways to Lose your Weight At Home

For most people, one of the toughest challenges is how to lose weight fast and safely at home. Because we know that time is money and we want it now!

When trying to lose a lot of weight very quickly, you will have to take into account your goals and be realistic about what you can achieve.

Losing a lot of weight in a short space of time can be very difficult to sustain and often results in the weight being put back on again.

This will only make you more frustrated and can lead to giving up completely. The aim is not just to lose weight, but to keep the weight off.

In this article, I am going to reveal some information and methods which you can follow and can lose your weight at home with patience and dedication and this will apply for both women and men.

1-Eat a healthy breakfast

Most experts these days believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day for losing weight. It gives you a strong start to burn more calories and it jumpstarts your metabolism.

There are many different ways you can eat a healthy breakfast but here are some examples of what people have found successful:

Make sure to choose low-fat dairy foods like milk or yogurt, instead of butter or cheese on bread.

Try fresh fruit, preferably dried fruits if you want something sweet, and nuts or seeds would be good too.

Nuts in particular are filled with sustaining energy as well as other nutrients that keep you going for a long time until lunchtime.

They also make an excellent addition to your meals at lunchtime or dinner when added to salads or a light sauce.

2-Drink a lot of water (more than 8 glasses)

Drinking lots of water is better than just drinking sodas and other drinks with high calories.

Water does not only keep you hydrated but it also helps in the digestion process by washing out fats in your body which are usually deposited as layers around your belly area and can be harmful to your health, if not removed on time.

3-Avoid carbonated drinks at all costs!

Besides being packed with empty calories, regular cola has been linked to diseases like osteoporosis, obesity, heart disease, kidney stones, and tooth decay because of the phosphoric acid content in it...and that's just some of them!

4-Add fresh vegetables to your diet

Along with a healthy breakfast, fresh vegetables should be your main food intake.

You can either steam them or sauté them in olive oil with some seasoning (salt and pepper), depending on what you like more.

The way it's cooked doesn't really matter that much as long as you eat enough of them. You should aim for about six to eight servings every day which isn't so hard to achieve

if you just prepare some each morning and have a plate of it ready when you get home from work!

5-Stay away from refined grains

Avoiding all kinds of refined grains is something many people fail at doing but it is essential if you are trying to lose weight quickly and safely at home because they're full of sugar and can give you a huge waistline which will make you look overweight very quickly.

6-Have a high fiber diet

Fiber is amazing for weight loss because it helps to fill you up, so if you have enough of it in your daily diet then it's going to be harder to overindulge in the wrong kinds of foods during the day.

7-Drink coffee with skimmed milk instead of regular milk (women) or black coffee (men)

Most people who are trying to lose weight avoid caffeine but there are some benefits from consuming caffeine as well that might surprise you.

Caffeine is often found in "fat burners" and other supplements that people use for weight loss, but this isn't the only place you can find it.

If you're a coffee drinker then try mixing in skimmed milk instead of full-fat milk to cut down on calories and fat. Of course, black coffee is better for weight loss but not everyone enjoys drinking it.

8-Exercise

Your body needs exercise just like it needs food because when you deprive yourself of one or the other, there will come a point where your body decides that it can't function properly without getting what it's missing (exercise in this case). T

The best way to approach this is with low-impact exercises such as brisk walking or even swimming for 30 minutes each day.

You don't need to join a gym or run around the block if you're not feeling up to it, just do what's good for your body and it will reward you by shedding weight rapidly!

9-Drink Water Before Each Meal to fill yourself up without eating too many calories.

This is especially important at breakfast time when you need something that will kick start your metabolism and keep you going until lunchtime without slipping into a bad habit of snacking on junk food every now and then.

When you drink water first thing in the morning, it fills up your stomach so that any hunger pangs are counteracted with plenty of water instead of calorie-laden foods that often lead to weight gain.

10-Never quit before 12 weeks.

There are people who are always looking for the "quick fix" to lose weight but they never achieve their goals because they're always looking for that one special way of doing things.

The best thing you can do is stick to a diet and exercise plan for about 12 weeks and after that, if you've lost the weight then great! If not, then try something else until you find something that really works for your body.

11-Maintain your new lifestyle.

After losing weight quickly at home with this method, you don't have to maintain it forever (unless you want to).

This is just a way of kick-starting your metabolism so that it doesn't slow down again over time. You might even put some more weight on over months or years by eating the wrong kinds of foods or not doing enough exercise.

If you maintain it, then your metabolism which has now sped up will help to keep the weight off if you eat healthily and take regular exercise.

This isn't just about losing weight but maintaining a healthy lifestyle that lasts for years afterward!

12-Treat yourself every once in a while.

When people lose weight quickly at home with this method, they don't have time to indulge in their bad habits as often as they used to so it's important to reward yourself from time to time by eating what you like even though there might be some consequences later on (like putting on more weight).

There are many ways of tricking your body into burning calories faster without trying which is another way of helping you to shed weight faster without depriving yourself of the things you like.

If you want a slimmer body and longer life, this is the best way to achieve it!

13- Be mentally prepared.

If you're going to lose weight, then there is a huge battle ahead of you and the more prepared you are for it, the easier that battle will be.

Losing weight has its ups and downs: sometimes it's so easy to feel great about yourself because your clothes fit better, but other times it can be difficult getting through such hard tasks as exercising when you don't feel like doing them or eating less than usual.

When these things happen along your journey to losing weight fast at home with this method, remember why you started it in the first place and stick with it until you've shed all that unnecessary extra weight! In fact, here's another quote from Napoleon Hill.

"The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat."

14-Stay away from salty foods.

If you're trying to lose weight fast at home with this method, then it's important not to eat too much salt because salt just makes you thirsty and that in turn leads to the consumption of more calorie-laden drinks.

Cut back on those chips and french fries that are full of fat and instead have a healthy snack like carrot sticks or cucumber slices.

They'll fill you up without all that extra unwanted salt!

15-Get up early and exercise first thing in the morning.

You don't need expensive gym memberships and overpriced personal trainers for losing weight fast at home when there is a whole new world waiting for us outside our front doors! Just get out early and take advantage of the fresh air and natural daylight.

16-Don't let friends or family ruin your diet.

If you're trying to lose weight fast at home with this method, then it's important that people around you don't try to sabotage your progress (as is often the case).

This is especially true of family members who may think they are helping by offering advice but in reality what they are actually doing is giving you something else to eat because when someone offers a plate of cookies, there's usually no way of saying no without hurting their feelings.

Maybe it would be better if they didn't offer food and instead gave other kinds of support which will help you on your journey like getting involved in some activity together or even encouraging you all the time.

If you can't help yourself from eating more than is necessary, then don't eat in front of other people for long periods of time, and if someone asks why simply tell them that you're on a diet because it's healthier this way.

Keeping these tips in mind should make your journey to losing weight fast at home much easier. Just remember that everyone puts weight on when they have a great life so it's not just about shedding the excess pounds but keeping those pounds off permanently!

17-Always Find Positive Things

Always find something positive to think about when you feel self-pity coming over you.  I think this is very important.

You need to think how much better you will be when losing weight and the happier you will feel which is worth every hard work.

18-Sleep Right

How well you sleep at night has a lot to do with your overall health, so it's important that you go to bed early enough so that you are able to wake up fresh without feeling tired all day long.

This is especially true if you're trying to lose weight because if you don't get enough deep sleep, then chances are you'll make poor food choices just out of hunger, and that could lead back up to where before starting this getting into a diet plan.

19-Set small daily goals for yourself.

For example, if your aim is to lose weight fast at home and you want to drop ten pounds from your current weight, then make a goal of shedding just two pounds every week.

That way, it will be easier to stick with because small daily goals are much more manageable than long-term ones.

20-Set yourself some rewards for good behavior.

Getting involved in a diet plan like this can be very difficult especially if you do not have anyone close by who is going through the same thing as you.

In fact, that's why I started this website in the first place! To give everyone that extra support they desire on their journeys towards getting healthier and becoming fitter over time.

As such, it can also help motivate you even more if you reward yourself for every little accomplishment that you make such as going to the gym, eating healthy snacks, or even losing an inch off your waist (whatever it may be).

It can also help to give yourself these rewards at the end of the week rather than giving them daily as it will be better for your long-term progress.

21-Use healthy snacks whenever you start to feel hungry in between meals.

A great way to avoid getting too hungry is by carrying some small snacks with you wherever you go, especially if you're out and about or even at work where there is no option of eating properly due to time constraints.

One thing which I would recommend that's high protein/ fiber bars (which are a lot healthier for weight loss) but otherwise fruit and vegetables are great options (for example apples, bananas, carrots).

Anything that's good for your body is fine so just go with your preferences.

22-Stay away from all drugs and alcohol

Even if it's tempting to have a drink or two after work.   One of the reasons why so many people find weight loss difficult is because they make bad decisions when under the influence.

This can be very off-putting and will often lead them down a slippery slope resulting in an out-of-control lifestyle that just makes everything worse in general!

23-Eat slowly

so that you know that you've satisfied yourself and don't overeat for any reason.

The human body takes anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours (depending on how much food) to tell our brain that we are full, but most people tend to eat too fast which means that their bodies are unable to tell them about the signals of fullness.

So, try and take your time eating so that you know when enough is enough!

24-Never Skip Breakfast.

Breakfast is probably the most important meal of the day, and even if it's difficult for you to cook in the morning before work, then at least make sure you have a decent breakfast such as a bowl of porridge or some toast with jam.

Eating this will help improve your metabolism which will help you burn fat faster over time! So again do not skip breakfast whatever happens.

25-Get Moving as much as possible every single day

Whether it's going for that morning jog routine or maybe working on your household chores around the house, whatever it is just make sure you're doing some form of exercise whenever possible.

This is one of the best ways to keep your metabolism high and also a great way to avoid getting sick or overly stressed out!

26-Try Stretching for 5 minutes every night before bedtime.

Don't worry this doesn't mean that you should try and do any various complicated stretches or poses, all you need to do is stand up straight and then raise both arms above your head as if stretching them out (don't go too far otherwise) and then lower them down again.

Then exhale deeply, breathe in properly through your nostrils and hold it for a couple of seconds until you feel like you can't hold it in anymore. Then breathe out slowly again through your mouth.

This will help you relax properly and fall asleep with ease as well as relieving any stress you have from the day!

Conclusion:

In the end, I highly recommend that you try out any combination of these tips and tricks as opposed to using one plan all by itself.

The best way to lose weight safely is to use a mixture of everything which will allow your body (and mind) to reach its full potential without you having any problems whatsoever! Now it's over to you-
