How-to: Whipped Coconut Cream from Coconut Milk

How-to: Whipped Coconut Cream from Coconut Milk
Things have been oh-so-creamy around my blog the past few weeks. Cream pies everywhere. And much chatter of coconut milk and all its glorious attributes and uses. But I was being a tad lazy when it came to my pies.. Why? Well, as you read in my recipes, I was simply giddy about the new product I discovered called "Healthy Top" - a cashew and coconut based whipped topping of sorts. Coconut Cream 101. Chilled can of coconut milk - the top layer of opaque "cream" - this is what you want to whip... Put to use: "Almost Tiramisu" Pie.. When I was little one of my favorite family recipes was an Easter cake called "Lamb Cake" I veganized the recipe a few years back: Lamb Cake Gone Vegan. Well until I discovered coconut milk cream, I never knew that the "whipped creamy frosting" thing could happen for vegans. How-to Make Whipped Coconut Milk Cream Coconut cream is best eaten right after it is whipped as it will lose some fluffiness if you stick it in the fridge to chill. Related:  otherFood and Recipes

US6506148B2 - Nervous system manipulation by electromagnetic fields from monitors The invention relates to the stimulation of the human nervous system by an electromagnetic field applied externally to the body. A neurological effect of external electric fields has been mentioned by Wiener (1958), in a discussion of the bunching of brain waves through nonlinear interactions. The electric field was arranged to provide “a direct electrical driving of the brain”. Wiener describes the field as set up by a 10 Hz alternating voltage of 400 V applied in a room between ceiling and ground. Brennan (1992) describes in U.S. Pat. A device involving a field electrode as well as a contact electrode is the “Graham Potentializer” mentioned by Hutchison (1991). In these three electric stimulation methods the external electric field is applied predominantly to the head, so that electric currents are induced in the brain in the physical manner governed by electrodynamics. It is instructive to apply this notion to the stimulation by weak electric field pulses administered to the skin.

Dazzle Dust Nail Tutorial I've been wanting to try out paint splattered nails for ages now, however it seems like alot of hard work and also kind of messy! So me being supposedly 'savvy' and all I came up with a probably just as messy idea...but slightly more fun and prettier. Also it looks alot more delicate than having a paint splattered effect and alot less nail arty and more wearable. Now like I say... it is kind of messy so you will need at least one face wipe/baby wipe and something to do it on like the back of a magazine. I used a Barry M Dazzle Dust in Brass (100) £4.50 and the nail polish is by Beauty UK in Smokey Lilac £1.79. 1) Firstly you need to give your nails one coat of nail polish. 2) Once dry you can apply the second coat. 3) Next before your nails dry (so you have to be quick) you need to scoop out a small amount of the pigment/dazzle dust (I do this with the end of a spoon) and tap the pigment below the bottom of the nail onto the skin, just below the cuticle. Et Voila!

'Ik gaf mijn dochter 5,5 jaar borstvoeding' | RTL Nieuws Nederlandse moeders geven hun kinderen steeds langer borstvoeding: 39 procent doet het langer dan zes maanden. "Ik val niet echt onder het gemiddelde", zegt Wittendorp lachend tegen RTL Nieuws. Op dit moment is ze zwanger van nummer drie, die wordt in juli verwacht. Tot ongeveer zes maanden geleden gaf ze ook nog borstvoeding aan haar dochter, maar die gaf op een gegeven moment aan dat 'er bijna geen melk meer uit de borst kwam'. "Ik doe het altijd in het openbaar en kan me geen vervelende reacties herinneren" Nu geeft ze alleen nog borstvoeding aan haar zoon, die drie jaar en acht maanden oud is. Hoe dat dan gaat als ze geen baby meer zijn, maar peuters en kleuters en dus een stuk groter? Nare reacties krijgt ze eigenlijk nooit. Mensen in haar omgeving vragen wel eens waarom ze zo lang borstvoeding geeft. "Moeders moeten wel weten dat ze hun kind benadelen als ze niet lang borstvoeding geven" Dat borstvoeding zorgt voor een betere band, daar is Wittendorp het niet helemaal mee eens.

Apple Pies I know, I’ve made a few pies lately. But see how these are different? Look at how adorable these are! I mean, come on. I sure couldn’t. We ate them before I had a chance to think about pictures. Oops. This is why I had leftover dough for that impromptu dinner. Although this recipe is a little time consuming, it’s no harder than making any sort of real pie. It still involves slicing fruit. Rolling out crust and making it look pretty. Mixing fruit and sugar and cornstarch. And taking bites with your eyes closed so you can focus solely on each flavor. Please give these a try. Apple Pies Inspired by Pinterest 1 prepared pie dough, rolled out and sliced into strips 6-8 large apples (really any kind of apple will do) 1/3 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling onto the crust 1/3 cup brown sugar 1 tsp cinnamon 1/4 or 1/2 tsp cardamom, if desired 1 tsp cornstarch Juice of a lemon or lime, mixed with 1 cup of water 1 tbsp melted butter Preheat the oven to 375F. Place the hollowed out apples in a muffin tin.

artikelen| Peuter voeden | Een peuter borstvoeding geven, waarom zou je? Tegenwoordig geven steeds meer vrouwen hun baby's borstvoeding. Daarom ontdekken ook steeds meer vrouwen dat ze voldoende van het borstvoeding geven genieten om er langer mee door te willen gaan dan de paar maanden die ze oorspronkelijk in gedachten hadden. Unicef stimuleert al tijdenlang om twee jaar of langer borstvoeding te geven en de American Academie of Pediatrics (AAP) sluit hier bij aan en moedigt moeders aan om in ieder geval één jaar borstvoeding te geven en om vervolgens door te gaan zo lang moeder en kind dat willen. Zelfs de Canadese vereniging van kinderartsen erkent in haar meest recente voedingsrichtlijn dat er vrouwen zijn die twee jaar of langer borstvoeding willen geven en Health Canada heeft een verklaring uitgeven die vergelijkbaar is met die van Unicef. Waarom zou je langer (dan zes maanden) borstvoeding geven? Omdat moeders en baby's vaak ontzettend genieten van borstvoeding geven en nemen. Men zegt: moedermelk heeft na zes maanden geen waarde meer Wat nog meer?

Books that will induce a mindfuck Here is the list of books that will officially induce mindfucks, sorted alphabetically by author. Those authors in bold have been recommended by one or more people as being generally mindfucking - any books listed under their names are particularly odd. You're welcome to /msg me to make an addition to this list. And finally, although he's way down at the bottom, my personal recommendation is definitely Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, as it turns the ultimate mindfuck: inverting the world-view of our entire culture, and it is non-fiction.

5 Healthy Reasons to Eat Quinoa The United Nations named 2013 ‘The International Year of Quinoa’. In this way the grain’s nutritional potential and its raising worldwide popularity was recognized once again. Quinoa is the magic grain of South America. Originally, quinoa was roasted and made into flour, which served as a basis for traditional types of bread. Here are great reasons why eating quinoa is a good idea: Quinoa is high in antioxidants Antioxidant-rich foods protect you from many chronic and degenerative diseases (including cancer) by destroying free radicals, which can injure and kill healthy cells. When researchers analyzed different Andean indigenous grains, it emerged that quinoa had the highest antioxidant activity. Quinoa is a complete source of protein This characteristic made quinoa so popular among vegans and vegetarians. If you are looking for other vegetarian sources of protein – read my post about the following 13 surprising sources of protein that are completely meat free. Quinoa is rich in fiber

Primal Pain au Chocolat This weekend was largely spent rocking on the kitchen floor crying and clutching a bag of the marvelous Otto’s Cassava Flour. I had initially set out to make myself a nice batch of French stylee croissants to munch down on with my morning cup of Joe when things suddenly took a turn for the worst. My first batch of croissants were as delicious as the real thing but sadly not as flaky, in fact the outer layer was nice and crisp with a few flakes but the innards were something bearing more resemblance to a chewy, cake-like bagel (I know, I am just as confused as you are). My 11 year old son told me that they tasted amazing and that they were in fact better than the real thing “but they aren’t flaky mum”. I had to salvage the dough that I had left, I found that a big croissant was just too heavy for my now very fine tuned gut and so opted for turning the dough into some scrummy Pain au Chocolat – which is yes you guessed it ‘bread with chocolate’. Yields: Roughly 16 medium pain au chocolat
