Everything You Need to Know About Nitro Cold Brew Coffee

March 28, 2023 by Faith Leave a Comment

Nitro cold brew coffee is subtly sweet with a velvety texture and a creamy head thanks to infusing cold brew with nitrogen gas. And you won’t believe how easy it is to make at home!

I don’t know about you, but I’m not usually one to jump on a trendy bandwagon. Mostly because I know what I like and when I like it, I usually love it. So it took me a really long time to try nitro cold brew coffee!

The BEST Easy Way to Make Whipped Yogurt

April 15, 2016 by Faith 14 Comments

Whipped yogurt with fresh raspberry sauce and sumac is a refreshing sweet and tangy way to dress up yogurt for breakfast or a light dessert. To whip yogurt, you only need 1 ingredient – yogurt! – and it’s so easy to make! I will teach you how to strain plain yogurt to make whipped yogurt, or you can use thick, creamy Greek yogurt instead and skip the straining step....

How to Make Natural Purple, Teal (Blue-Green), & Fuchsia (Purple-Pink) Food Colorings {Using the Red Cabbage Method & the Blueberry Method}

June 27, 2013 by Faith 28 Comments

If you follow me on Instagram, you might already know that yesterday I made natural food coloring. This is because I recently got the idea in my head that I absolutely had to make blue frosting. I’ll tell you all about why I needed it soon, but for now, here is a big hint…...

How to Roast Chestnuts

December 30, 2011 by Faith 25 Comments

Mike and I have a strange Christmas tradition.  Every year during the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day, we watch The Godfather and roast chestnuts.  I’m not sure how or why this became our tradition (as far as I know The Godfather has no ties to Christmas), and I have no idea what the relationship between the movie and roasted chestnuts is, but Mike always insists on chestnuts along with the movie.  And so, because I love him (and roasted chestnuts), I oblige him....

How to Make Coconut Milk {Vegan, Lactose-Free}

November 14, 2010 by Faith 52 Comments

With the high prevalence of people choosing vegan foods and people living with food allergies, dairy-free milk substitutes are becoming increasingly popular.  I remember my little brother being lactose intolerant when he was young and his doctor recommending he drink goat’s milk, which still contains lactose but for some reason is easier to digest than cow’s milk.  My sister and I teased him relentlessly (all in good fun…what are loving big sisters for?), calling him a little “kid” (bad pun, I know).  Anyway, nowadays even in regular grocery stores you can usually find several different kinds of dairy-free milk, including rice, almond, soy, and coconut […]...

October 2, 2010 by Faith 30 Comments

Today I have a few exciting announcements!

Ingredient Substitutions

May 25, 2010 by Faith 35 Comments

I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve been inspired to try a new recipe only to realize that I’m missing a key ingredient (or worse yet, when I’ve already started cooking and mid-meal I realize I don’t have everything I need).  Of course, a trip to the market would fix that, but if you can utilize other ingredients that you already have on hand, it’s even better.  Some substitutions that I make are to use what I have on hand, but I make other substitutions to healthy things up a little.  Next time you’re in the kitchen and you realize you don’t have an […]...

How To Make Herb & Spice Blends

January 21, 2010 by Faith 30 Comments

Spices are usually added to food to lend flavor, color, or preservative properties.  But spices don’t end there.  They are commonly used for many other purposes, including medicinal, religious rituals, perfume, and cosmetics.  Spices can be derived from the following plant sources:  arils (e.g., mace), barks (e.g., cinnamon, cassia), dried buds (e.g., cloves), dried fruit or seeds (e.g., fennel, mustard, black pepper), resins (e.g., asa foetida), roots and rhizomes (e.g., turmeric, ginger), and stigmas (e.g., saffron).    Herbs are similar to spices in that they are commonly used to enhance the flavor of food; however, the main difference is that while spices come from different […]...

How to Dehydrate Apples in an Oven

October 25, 2009 by Faith 25 Comments

Drying fruits and vegetables is a great way to preserve the fruit while keeping as many of the nutrients as possible.  Plus, drying concentrates and intensifies the natural flavor of whatever is being dried.  Since I had so many apples, I decided to dry some.  Dried apples are sweet, chewy, and full of intense apple flavor.  I like to chop them up and add them to salads, cereal, oats, trail mix, and yogurt.  You could also add them to cakes, muffins, or cookies, and I think they’d be a fantastic addition to Thanksgiving turkey stuffing.   A Note on the Oven Temperature:  Try to get […]...
