The perfect fried noodles « Two Spoons …Oh, how many attempts have led me to this final method. How many stubbornly stuck-on noodle bits on pans, how many over-greasy vegetables, how many PANS, may I reiterate that once more….I’ve finally found a method which requires no separate pan, no stickage, no straining of noodles and burning of skin, no need for fancy ingredients, no need for stress…indeed, it is perfect. Did I mention it’s also fast? A quick word about noodles: get them fresh (as in, not dried). The key to making this really fast is to have all your ingredients out and ready before you turn on the heat for cooking. The Perfect Fried noodles serves two *if you’re looking for a chicken recipe, try Kendra’s original post, or just substitute leftover chicken.

Get Healthy! The Health Deceptions articles on this site give us many examples of foods, drinks, and practices that are harmful. When we hear this type of news, it is easy to respond with extreme actions. For example, when we find we have been eating the wrong kinds of foods, we may rush to the kitchen and completely empty the cupboards. After all, if it’s not good, get rid of it! Unless you are suffering from a life-threatening disease, I would not recommend such a radical dietary change. There is a principle of thought which needs to be considered here: “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:21). Jesus constantly saw the good in people; He saw what they could become if their hearts were surrendered. Here are some articles that offer helpful advice for reclaiming your health, both physically and spiritually: In proper amounts, these 8 practical aspects of life can greatly increase our health. Bacteria feed on dying, sickly cells. Physical healing takes physical work.
Potato, Rosemary and Garlic Pizza I still have not located my pizza stone, but that’s not deterring me from making more pizza. Unlike my last pizza which I made in a skillet, this pizza was baked in a hot oven. It features potatoes, rosemary and garlic, a flavor triumvarate held in high esteem in our home. Potato Rosemary Garlic Pizza makes 2 – 10″ pizzas 2 uncooked pizza crusts (recipe below) 1 large Yukon Gold potato, very thinly sliced Salt Extra-virgin olive oil 2 garlic cloves, slightly smashed but still intact 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves 1/2 cup finely grated Pecorino Romano cheese Freshly ground black pepper Rosemary sprigs for garnish Preheat oven to 375 F. Assemble pizzas: Lightly brush pizza crusts with olive oil. Bake on pizza stone or on a tray on lowest rack in oven until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly, about 15 minutes. Stir yeast and lukewarm water together in a bowl.
Calcium There is a lot of hype these days about getting enough calcium. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for calcium in the US is 1,200 mg per day. Americans consume huge quantities of calcium compared with most of the world. In countries with plant-based diets, people consume little calcium and dairy. Researchers have discovered that a lack of calcium isn’t the problem. The best way to stop calcium loss is to eat fewer animal proteins, including those in dairy products like milk, eggs, and cheese. The good news is that the effects of osteoporosis can be prevented and reversed. The US RDA is 56 g for protein and 1,200 mg for calcium, because of calcium loss due to animal protein intake. The World Health Organization has also observed that “calcium deficiency has never been documented anywhere in the world, even with calcium intakes of as little as 300 mg/day.”vii It isn’t the lack of calcium in the diet that causes osteoporosis, but rather eating too much animal protein. i. ii. iii. iv.
Baked Eggs in Bread Bowls This was our breakfast Sunday morning. Aren’t they cute? They were very, very good. It’s the whole egg and the toast combo all together in one nice package. These are so easy to make and wouldn’t they be splendid on a brunch buffet table? The best part, you can easily make two, ten, a hundred, whatever your needs are at the moment. I think there are a lot of variations you could do nicely with this recipe, such as, swap out the Parmesan cheese with grated Gruyere or crumbled blue cheese to give a different taste. I used sourdough but I think this would also be nice with onion or brioche rolls as long as they are sturdy. Any way you put these together, they will be great. Slice off top of each dinner roll and gently remove some bread until there is a hole large enough to accommodate an egg. Arrange rolls on a baking sheet. Top each egg with some herbs and a bit of cream. Place tops on rolls and serve warm. Eat with a knife and fork. Print Recipe Ingredients Directions

Braised Eggplant in Sweet Bean Sauce - Step by Step | Yi Reservation Many ingredients featured on this site so far required a trip to a Chinese grocery store. But my friend, today this is not the case. With eggplant’s international status you are bound to find some in most parts of the earth even with the temporary shortage currently running in North America. In Chinese cuisine, my favorite eggplant dishes are either stewed or braised usually in some kind of sauce. Despite my love for eggplant I had always avoided cooking it at home. In a recent experiment, I produced the restaurant like eggplant dish without deep frying. I braised the eggplant with sweet bean paste sauce.

The 7 foods experts won't eat - Healthy Living on Shine How healthy (or not) certain foods are-for us, for the environment-is a hotly debated topic among experts and consumers alike, and there are no easy answers. But when Prevention talked to the people at the forefront of food safety and asked them one simple question-"What foods do you avoid?"-we got some pretty interesting answers. Although these foods don't necessarily make up a "banned" list, as you head into the holidays-and all the grocery shopping that comes with it-their answers are, well, food for thought: 20 ways to feed your family for $100 a week. 1. The expert: Fredrick vom Saal, PhD, an endocrinologist at the University of Missouri who studies bisphenol-A The problem: The resin linings of tin cans contain bisphenol-A, a synthetic estrogen that has been linked to ailments ranging from reproductive problems to heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. The solution: Choose tomatoes in glass bottles (which do not need resin linings), such as the brands Bionaturae and Coluccio. 2. 3.
AA Gill, NZ Roast day and five Auckland food discoveries English food critic AA Gill was in town recently – while I was in California actually, enjoying a meal at the French Laundry, which I’ll tell you all about in a future issue of Metro. So there I was, feeling quite smug about getting my very, very expensive lunch paid for by the magazine, when little did I know my fellow food writers at said magazine were feeling doubley smug in my absence – eating three courses at Clooney with the world’s most famous, second funniest restaurant reviewer. So what was he like? Anyway, there’s no need for you to fear that this blog of mine will just become an online cheerleader for Metro magazine. No, I do have another reason for bringing up AA Gill, and it’s directly related to blogging. It was a disappointing story to break just the day before I attended the launch of Selak’s New Zealand Roast Day. In other news, here are five Auckland food discoveries I’ve made recently: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Love to know what you think of that AA Gill story in Metro too.
