9 Home Remedies for Hangovers" Well, you partied from sundown to sunup, and now you're paying the price. You've got the pounding headache, the queasiness, the dizziness, the sensitivity to light and sound, the muscle aches and the irritability that comes from overconsumption of alcoholic beverages. How quickly last night's fun turns into next morning's nightmare when you have a hangover! Although we don't like to think of it as such, especially when we're having such a good time, alcohol is actually a drug. It's a depressant, and when taken in excess, it fills your body with toxins. The best way to prevent a hangover is, of course, drinking in moderation or abstaining from alcohol. The best cure for a hangover: time. This information is solely for informational purposes.
Chinese Salt and Pepper Tofu Restaurant Style This vegan salt and pepper tofu recipe is a great dish to entertain with. I either serve it as an appetizer with tooth picks, or I serve it as an entree with some brown rice. All the components of this recipe can be made ahead and put together just before serving. This is a truly fancy, delicious, vegan, Chinese dish and it tastes like something you’d get at a restaurant. To clean leeks, soak sliced leeks in water for a few minutes. There are a few recipes online for salt and pepper tofu, like this Chinese salt and pepper tofu on the post punk kitchen forum, this salt and pepper tofu with five spice or this simple salt and pepper tofu from Rachael Ray magazine. Once you fry the tofu, toss it in sauteed leeks, celery, ginger, garlic and green pepper. For a quick appetizer, skip the sauteeing just served the fried tofu with chili sauce like below. Notes: - you can use this same method and recipe with button mushrooms, parboiled cubed potato, baby corn or paneer. Pat dry the drained tofu.

Anybody can make the drink, and anyone can modify and improve on the recipe as long as they, too, license their recipe under the GNU General Public License.

limoncello mint sorbet I dug into my photo archives and came out with six days’ worth of frozen treats. (Please forgive any questionable photography.) Last time: strawberry lemon sorbet. I first heard of limoncello via my Italian professor. I was feeling fancy one evening after a tasty prix fixe meal, and couldn’t resist a housemade limoncello listed on the novel of a drink menu. you might like: Though the window air conditioning unit we recently purchased has most likely saved our lives, we're still not quite immune to the evil temperatures lurking just outside our door.

homemade almond milk One of my favorite ways of harnessing almonds’ nutritive superpowers is grinding them into almond milk. The store-bought stuff is fine, yes, but this homemade version is pure, smooth, rich and creamy almond-y goodness. It’s free of the additives that give store-bought milk a slightly thick, gummy texture. Of course that means it lacks the same shelf-life, needing to be used within a couple of days. You just need a blender that doesn’t leak out the bottom (learned the hard way), some cheesecloth or muslin–love muslin! you might like: My self-imposed deadline for posting Tofu Summer Rolls passed this morning at 5:05 am, so, instead, I present to you: Coconut Rice Pudding!

Sofistikerede Oreos med himmelsk lækker hvid chokoladecreme kinna.dk Jeg startede jo på mit nye arbejde i mandags, og indtil videre skal jeg kun arbejde hver 4. fredag, og har dermed en 4-dags-arbejdsuge. Det blev selvfølgelig udnyttet, at jeg havde fri i dag, og bagte nogle super skønne og sofistikerede Oreos med himmelsk lækker hvid chokoladecreme. Hold op, hvor er de altså bare lækre – meget anbefalelsesværdige Jeg fandt opskriften hos That Winsome Girl. Jeg havde dog en del arbejde med selve dejen, idet den er meget blød, og skal derfor proppes i fryseren, for hver gang man har rullet en klump ud. Derfor er det en god idé at have rigtig god tid til at bage disse Oreos. Men når det så er sagt, så er det alt arbejdet værd. I det jeg fandt opskriften på en amerikansk side, er målene ret underlige, men har prøvet mig lidt frem. Opskriften egner sig til ca. 30 sandwich-småkager. Oreos 3,6 dl + 3 spsk mel1,8 dl sukker1,8 dl + 2 spsk usødet kakao½ tsk bagepulver½ tsk salt15 spsk smør (mit umiddelbare bud er, at jeg brugte 1 hel pakke smør af 250 g)
Kartoffelmos med squash | Opskrifter | Arla Kartoffelmos er et sikkert hit og med denne lækre squashblanding ligner det også et hit. Den smule bid der er i squash giver modspil til mosen. Kartoffelmos 1 kg kartoffel 1 1⁄2 dl mælk 50 g smør 1 tsk groft salt friskkværnet peber Squashblanding 50 g smør 4 grofthakkede mellemstore zittauerløg 1 squash i tern 4 tomater i tern 1⁄2 tsk tørret basilikum 1 tsk groft salt friskkværnet peber Pynt: grofthakket frisk persille Skræl kartoflerne og skær dem i mindre stykker. Smelt smørret i en tykbundet gryde, og svits løgene heri. Tip Retten kan pyntes med ristede bacontern.
Opskrift på Snickers-kage Snickers-kage Lad mig præsentere Snickers-kagen: Lækker lys kagebund, et lag saltede peanuts efterfulgt at en syndig karamelmasse, og til sidst et tykt lag chokolade som prikken over i’et. Ord burde være overflødige, men alligevel: prøv den! Navnet er ikke for sjov, for kagen minder rigtig meget om en Snickers-chokoladebar med den lækre blanding af bl.a. chokolade, karamel og peanuts. Kagen er utrolig nem at lave, og er et hit uanset om den serveres for ung eller gammel. Opskrift (fundet på www.foodfanatic.dk) 200 blødt smør4 dl sukker3 æg4 dl mel1,5 tsk. bagepulver350 – 400 g saltede peanuts (jeg brugte kun 250 g, og det var efter min mening nok) Smør og sukker piskes grundigt, hvorefter æggene tilsættes et af gangen. Karamel: 1 dl fløde1 dl mørk sirup2 spsk. kakao2 tsk. vaniljesukker50 g smør2 dl sukker Mens kagen bages røres alle ingredienserne til karamelmassen sammen i en gryde og bringes i kog. Chokolade: Opbevar i lufttæt beholder. Enjoy Skrevet af Camilla Østergaard Pedersen Læs også:
Almond Flour Brownies This week I made brownies for the first time in months. MONTHS. Who am I? The thing is these aren’t even for me; I’m still trying to get in better shape for marathon training. The last thing I need on my plate(literally) is brownies. I’m not saying I didn’t steal a taste, but as soon as these were cooled, cut, and photographed I sealed them up to bring to the Healthy Living Summit to share with friends and this girl for hosting me for a night. I made these by modifying my outrageous triple chocolate brownies recipe and—dare I say?
