There isn’t too much to be said here. Ground meat, or ground fake meat in this case, is one of the most versatile ingredients in the kitchen. In the UK, they call it mince and it is the base for so many delicious recipes. It seems counter-productive to make mince out of already formed patties, but it works! It is far from Impossible!
Rice is more than a staple food consumed by half of the world’s population. Affordability, easy cultivation, climate adaptability, and cooking versatility are just some features qualifying rice as the preferred grain of all.
Countless recipes where rice is the star are well-known worldwide. Its mild flavor makes it possible to use it in various dishes from the most common savory ones to incredible desserts.
Its versatility even allows creating delightful and refreshing drinks since its delicate flavor is the perfect base for pairing with herbs and other components.
You will be surprised by knowing the various rice drinks there are worldwide. You will be even more surprised to find out that you may have tried some of these drinks without perceiving rice among the ingredients.
When it comes to food, Mexican cuisine offers a wide variety of incredible dishes, most of them quite easy to make. However, before learning how to prepare Mexican rice, it is important to distinguish it from the Spanish version.
A debate has been raised over the years, since Spanish rice is considered by many people as the original meal, while others claim it was the Mexicans who invented it. Fact is that knowing the differences will help you make both dishes properly.
When we think of the Caribbean, exotic landscapes and colors come to mind. This is translated into a rich variety of dishes, still largely unknown to most of us. Caribbean cuisine is probably less widespread than African cuisine or Amerindian cuisine, let alone European. This is because it takes elements from these three traditions and many more. This blend was enhanced by natives who have created flavors unique to the region and is characterized mostly by the presence of beans and rice. To start approaching these flavors, you may start trying this easy red beans and rice recipe.
Even though rice is not necessarily considered Italian, this country has become one of the largest producers of rice in the world and definitely made it clear that they can make the most of a cup of this versatile staple. That is why many recipes with rice as the main ingredient can be found, risotto being on top of this long list. But when it comes to the iconic Rome appetizer, supplì makes number one position. Rice, tomatoes, cheese, olive oil, onions… add an Italian chef working the ingredients and, in short, nothing can go wrong.
Did a foraging trip
I’m (Fit, here) back again! Two posts in a row. Crazy, right? I know I’ve been off the blog for a while, but I thought I’d pop in a bit more to share some recipes. And today’s recipe is…Blueberry Overnight Oats! Overnight oats may seem like a trendy breakfast you’ll only find in Los Angeles, but there’s more to it than just the fad. Overnight oats is (are?) a timesaver. It’s a nice colder alternative to traditional oatmeal, especially nice in the warmer months. And you can get really creative with the ingredients you put inside.
We nicked this recipe from the lovely Fit Foodie Finds and made it our own. If you haven’t checked her out, head on over–lots of great recipes to find there. This overnight oats recipe is all about the blueberries! Though, again, overnight oats can be whatever you want to put in, as long as you have a liquid. It’s so incredibly easy to throw these ingredients together and enjoy them the next day in a nice chilled bowl!
If you’ve hung out with us long enough, you know we love Korean food. Hungry spent a summer semester in South Korea during college, where he fell in love with the people, culture, and food. Growing up in Los Angeles, Fit had plenty of access to Korean food, lucky for her.
A special part of Korean food is banchan. Banchan is a name for side dishes. There are many varieties of these banchan, including kimchi (probably the most well-known in the States), namul (vegetables stir-fried, steamed or marinated), and pickled onion. We are going to show you how to make pickled onion, Korean style. We are by no means experts on this, but we tried a recipe from futuredish, a Korean food blogger, and loved it! It’s a mixture of sharpness from the onion, sweetness from the sugar, and a nice umami from the soy sauce. Beautifully well rounded.
Welcome back, everyone, to another episode of it took me forever to publish this article. How long? Well, way back in late June of last year, Charles from Built Bar reached out to us and asked us to provide an honest review of their “fairly new” protein bar. They’re not fairly new anymore. Within a week, they arrived, but were completely melted into oblivion as our delivery driver left them in the sun. Logan from Built Bar quickly sent us another box and we grabbed them without any issues since Hurricane Barry protected them from the sun.
So, here is the honest review.
If you don’t like any of the protein bars you’ve ever eaten, you should buy THIS.
2020 is the year to do more with less. 2020 is the year to work smarter and not necessarily harder. (Although, we are strong supporters of hard workers.) 2020 is the year to see through all the myths and make the right decisions. We’re here to help you do that. We might be a week late, but we’ve been working on our own plans for this new year.
So, how are we going to do this? By making simple and delicious meals at home of course–without spending too much money. Here is our first recipe of the year, but this is about much more than this $7 meal for two. This is about you starting to understand how to balance the three important aspects of your diet: flavor, nutrition and cost.
