How to make homemade oat milk with just a two-ingredient base, that can be flavoured as a delicious dairy-free milk alternative! And, most importantly, how to make oat milk that isn&#039;t slimy!

Homemade Oat Milk (that isn't slimy)

oats

filtered water

cashews

First, add the oats, cashews, and water (and an optional pinch of salt) to a high-speed blender or food processor.

For even creamier results, blend the cashews with the water first for around 45-60 seconds. Then add the oats and blend for a further 10 seconds. I've found 10 seconds is literally all I need to do before running the risk of slimy milk. You may need slightly longer, depending on how powerful your machine is.

If adding the two ingredients at the same time, then literally blend for 10 seconds. If your machine isn't as powerful, then you may need 15-20 seconds, but be careful as the longer you blend, the higher the risk of slime factor.

Once ready, strain the milk through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth and then transfer to a clean, airtight bottle/container.

The strained oats and cashew pulp can be added to smoothies and other breakfast bowls, or dried out and added into a variety of baked goods, so there is no waste!

Your homemade oat milk can then be stored in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. Be aware that if you decide to flavor a batch, then this may affect the shelf life.

A simple DIY on how to juice ginger with and without a juicer - plus some idea on how to use this highly nutritious, superfood ginger juice and even save the pulp!

How to Make Ginger Juice

ginger

I always suggest using organic ginger - which doesn&#039;t need to be peeled. However, if you&#039;re unable to, then scrub and peel your ginger. You can peel ginger really quickly and easily according to this method.

Slice the ginger into small pieces, big enough to fit through the mouth of the juicer and simply feed the pieces in the machine.

That&#039;s literally all you need to do as the juicer will do the rest, extracting ginger juice within seconds - feeding the pulp into one container and the juice into another. (See tips on how to use it below)

The Juicer Method:

To begin, chop the ginger into small pieces, around 1 inch in thickness, and add to the blender. If I&#039;m juicing a large amount of ginger in one go (1lb/500g, for example) then I&#039;ll usually do this in two lots.

Along with the ginger pour in around 1 cup of filtered water and blend until smooth.

Strain the ginger juice through a nut milk bag, cheesecloth, or sieve into a container, squeezing the pulp to get as much of the liquid out as possible. Then pour in your container of choice.

The Blender method:

Store the fresh ginger juice either in a large, airtight glass bottle in the fridge or within smaller shot-sized bottles. This fresh juice will only stay fresh for 2-3 days in the fridge though, so my preferred method is to store any additional juice in the freezer.

You can freeze the ginger juice into portioned ice-cubes, that way you can just pop however much you need out at a time. Fresh ginger juice is freezer-friendly for up to six months.You can defrost the juice as needed for morning shots or add the ice-cubes to smoothies, other drinks, marinades, etc.

How to make beet juice with or without a juicer. This sweet and earthy beetroot juice is loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to help your body detox and provide much-needed nutrients! Several flavored beet juice blends included.

How to Make Beet Juice (2 Methods)

beet

Wash the beets well and chop them into 4-8 pieces, depending on their size (small enough to fit your juicer chute).

Feed the beets through the juicer chute and let the machine do all the work.

Juicer method

Wash the beets well. Chop them down into several pieces (4 or 8, depending on their size).

Transfer them to the blender with a 1/4-1/3 cup of water (use the smallest amount first and increase if needed).

Blend the beets and water until smooth and juicy.

Transfer the mixture to a nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer layered with cheesecloth to strain the juice from the pulp.Note that beet juice STAINS, so use materials you don’t mind staining permanently.

Blender Method

Store: I recommend consuming homemade beet juice immediately for maximum nutrients and freshness. However, any leftovers will store in a covered bottle/ jar in the fridge for a further 1-2 days.Freeze: You can freeze the beets detox juice for 3 months in Ziplock bags, freezer-safe jars, or ice cube trays (depending on the material, expect staining), depending on the portion sizes. Allow it to thaw in the fridge overnight before enjoying.

If you need delicious corn on the cob in a hurry, the microwave is the easiest way to get freshly cooked corn that keeps its taste and texture. So here is my quick and easy method for microwave corn on the cob.

Microwave Corn on the Cob in Husk

corn

Place the ears of corn (with the husks on!) in the microwave.• For 1 cob: Microwave for 3 minutes on full power. If it’s a larger cob, it may take 4 minutes.• For 2 cobs: Microwave for 5 ½- 6 minutes on full power.• For 3 or 4 cobs: The general rule of thumb is to add 2 minutes for each additional ear of corn - 8 minutes for 3 microwaved on high, 10 minutes for 4 cobs. Check for doneness, and then continue cooking in 30-second increments as needed, especially if you want the corn softer.To ensure that the corn is fully cooked, you can check the internal temperature is around 160-170ºF/71-77Cº, or peel back the husk slightly to visibly check. Note that the power level of your microwave can affect how much time it takes.

Use a kitchen towel, oven mitt, or tongs to remove them from the microwave. Slice off the bottom 1/2 inch from the cob and slide the corn from the husk and silk. It should come out easily.

Homemade Caesar dressing is rich, creamy, cheesy, tangy, and packed with umami flavor! It&#039;s ready in just minutes and so much better than store-bought!

The Best Homemade Caesar Dressing Recipe

mayonnaise (full-fat works best)

cheese

extra virgin olive oil oil

Worcestershire sauce (use gluten-free if needed)

garlic garlic

anchovy filets (or 1/2 Tbsp anchovy paste)

water (1/4-1/3 cup to thin the sauce)

sea salt (only if needed since the anchovies are salty)

Peel and finely mince the garlic and grate the parmesan cheese.

Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth(ish) and creamy. Pause to scrape down the sides 1-2 times, as needed.An immersion blender/blender will also work.

Slowly drizzle in the water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing is thin enough to flow slowly off a spoon.

Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning (or any of the ingredients) to your liking.For the best flavor, chill the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and enhance and provides a better consistency.

Store the dressing in a sterile, airtight jar for up to a week. Give it a good shake each time before using, and optionally add more water, if needed, if it&#39;s thickened.

My best chicken seasoning is simple, easy to put together, and perfect for adding deep flavor to a midweek meal. Who feels like chicken tonight?

The Best Chicken Seasoning Recipe

tsp sweet paprika

oregano

tsp salt

Cayenne pepper (or chili powder,

Add all your ingredients to a bowl or a jar, adjusting amounts based on your taste. Mix or whisk well.

Use a paper towel to pat your chicken dry and transfer it into a clean bowl or dish.

Sprinkle the chicken seasoning over the meat and using your hands (with or without gloves), gently rub it into the meat. I tend to use 1 Tbsp of seasoning mix per pound of chicken, but you can use more or less depending on your tastes.

Allow the flavors to meld together for at least 15 minutes – but I like to leave it for up to 2 hours. Cook as usual.

How to Season Chicken

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark, dry place - like a pantry. It will keep for up to 4-6 months, depending on the freshness of your original herbs and spices. As a rule of thumb, your chicken seasoning blend is only as fresh as the oldest ingredient used to make it. Shake the jar before using. 

How to Store

Tbsp sweet paprika (or smoked paprika,

salt (use kosher/sea salt NOT table salt)

brown sugar

Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl or jar, mix/whisk well, then store the spice mix in an airtight container.

Store the jar in a cool, dry, dark location like a pantry or kitchen cupboard and use it within 4-6 months for the best flavor and freshness.

As a general rule, you&#39;ll need about 1 Tbsp of seasoning per 1.5 lb of ground beef.Stir it into the meat (but don&#39;t overwork it or it can make it tough) before forming the patties, so it&#39;s evenly dispersed throughout. OR sprinkle it over the formed patties before or during the cooking process.
