A friend of mine has a son with dye sensitivities and food allergies that loves hard candy.  This candy recipe can be flavored with any combination of natural flavors without any fear of harming your loved ones.

Hard Candy Without Corn Syrup or Artificial Dyes

(300 grams) sugar

(120 milliliters) water

tsp (5 milliliters) peppermint oil

Line and grease a 8-9' (20-23cm) heat proof container with aluminum foil or use parchment paper. I don&#039;t recommend using glass as it can crack with thermal shock.

Place sugar and water in a heavy 3 qt sauce pan.  Stir until dissolved.

If at any time sugar gets on the sides of the pan above the sugar, carefully wash it down the sides with a pastry brush dipped in water.

Continue to cook on medium high heat until hard-crack stage is reached 310F (154C.)

Remove from heat. Let it stop boiling and add in the peppermint oil.  Stir carefully with a clean heat proof spoon or spatula to mix in the oil.

Pour on baking sheet. Allow to cool 5-10 minutes and score the candy with a knife for more uniform pieces.

Let cool completely before breaking apart at score lines and store in an airtight container.

This simple recipe for Olive Oil + Honey Face Mask is an easy beauty recipe you can whip up with common kitchen ingredients and makes your skin feel great.

Olive Oil & Honey Face Mask

raw honey

tsp extra virgin Olive Oil

tsp baking soda

Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl.

Gently massage into to clean dry skin using a circular scrubbing motion.

Leave on skin for about 15 minutes, or until it starts to tighten up.

Rinse off with warm water and use your fingers to gently exfoliate as you wash. Use a wash cloth if necessary. Pat skin dry then follow up with the moisturizer of your choice.

I have used a face scrub since I first discovered and tried the recipe: equal parts olive oil and honey with sea salt or brown sugar. I was looking for something for dry skin yet had a gentle exfoliate to take care of dead dry skin. This scrub is exactly what I needed for my skin I use daily for about 6-7 years now

I first got into cooking with sourdough because I knew it was one of the healthiest ways to prepare grains.

The ginger bug starter is easy to make in your own home. It's the simplest way to make a probiotic sparkling beverage. Unlike kombucha, all you need to get started is sugar and ginger root!

Making A Ginger Bug Starter

ginger

Tbsp sugar (divided)

water (chlorine-free)

Mix 3 1/4 cup of the water with 3 Tbsp of sugar in a glass quart jar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Wash the ginger root, then grate 3 Tbsp of ginger into the quart jar. Don&#8217;t peel the ginger because the skin helps with fermentation. 

Cover with a cloth (or coffee filter) and secure in place with a rubber band or jar ring.

Place the jar somewhere warm and dark to ferment (a kitchen cupboard is ideal).

Give the ginger bug a good stir once or twice a day.

After 3 to 7 days it should start to bubble. Once it&#8217;s started to bubble, feed it 1 Tbsp of sugar and 1 Tbsp of grated ginger each of the next two days. 

Once it is really bubbly you are ready to make ginger ale or ginger bug sodas. See the section above for information on how to maintain your ginger bug starter and links to recipes for ginger ale and ginger bug sodas.

I was hunting for the same question... so glad to find the answer.
My ginger bug is sitting out for 4 days without being fed on day 5 made the beer do you it will work and ginger bug will be live if I refrigerate it now?
And feed it one a week right?

My ginger bug started to active within 24 hours , but suddenly stopped, is that OK? what should i do ? i fed it with sugar and ginger again, but still, it is still

very new to fermenting. I'm on day 3 of this and not seeing any bubbling. Now I used a Mason Top pipe lid on it. Should I not?
Also wondered about the ginger I used. Is it possible that the ginger is cleaned so much that it wouldn't have any natural yeast on it?

Maybe a silly question but, if scum forms on the top, should I be skimming it off?  Thanks! :)

Hi Emilie,
I loved this recipe and had great success for about two batches of soda..I however failed in maintaining my bug..I kept in the fridge, and fed it every week or so but I noticed that that the taste became very yeasty almost beer like..then I kept it on the counter and fed it daily but it never got its bubbly nature back and my third batch of soda ended up with kahm yeast..eventually after multiple feedings and tries my bug turned pink and I had to throw it..can you please help me trouble shoot this problem? I plan on making a new bug but how do I maintain it better in the fridge? Feed it every week? Remove some first if not making soda? Also why did it become so yeasty? Thanks in advance! The ginger beer recipe was amazing! My toddler loved it, though his eyes watered from the spice levels ha!

in the first few paragraphs you answered any question that had been left unanswered (literally for almost ten years on some pages!) on the more “popular” google results for ginger bug. thank you for a simple yet thorough explanation of the entire process! quickly becoming my favorite fermenting resource ♥

i was very much impressed with your blog. right now trying ginger bug ,turmeric and sour dough starter.
for ginger bug and turmeric I took only 1/4 cup of water missed that it is 3 and 1/4 th . I still saw the bubbles on day 3 but added water on day 3 will that be OK?

How to make yogurt at home with just two ingredients and a simple step-by-step process. Homemade yogurt is creamy, and luxurious, and can be made as regular yogurt or thick Greek yogurt!

How To Make Yogurt

milk

packet powder yogurt starter (or 1/2 cup plain yogurt (labeled

Sterilize the equipment, including wooden spoons, a saucepan, and jars. Refer to the FAQs for the method.

Add the milk to your saucepan and heat it over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches 175-185ºF/80-85ºC.If you don&#39;t have a thermometer, switch off the heat right before the milk boils, when small bubbles start to form.

Set it aside to cool to 105-115ºF/40-45ºC. This is the optimal temperature for yogurt making that is great for fermentation without killing the starter.Or until you can dip your pinkie into the warm milk for 7 seconds before it hurts. Be careful with this method, though, to avoid burning yourself. It&#39;s necessary to cool the milk, so the live yogurt cultures aren&#39;t killed, so don’t rush this process.

Once cooled, combine the yogurt starter or probiotic starter culture with ½ cup of the warm milk and stir it well. Then add that back into the milk mixture. This will temper the starter and help avoid lumps.

Transfer the yogurt milk mixture to sterilized glass jar/s.

Step 1: Prepare the Milk Mixture

To ferment correctly, the milk mixture needs to be incubated. There are several ways you can do this::• Wrap the jar/s in a warm tea towel or blanket and keep them in a draft-free, warm place in the kitchen for 6-12 hours.• Do the above and store them in a switched-off oven. Leaving the oven light on will add low residual heat that helps the process.• Add the cultured milk to your Instant Pot and press the YOGURT button. If it doesn&#39;t read at &quot;8:00&quot;, use the + button until it does (this means it will incubate the yogurt for 8 hours before auto-switching off). Check on it after 4-5 hours up to 12 hours until it&#39;s ready (note the timer counts up rather than down). Allow it to cool at room temperature before transferring it to the fridge.If you plan to use an Instant Pot and a powdered starter, select a started that incubates at 110ºF/43ºC. Starters that require lower temperatures won&#39;t work for Instant Pot yogurt. • To use a slow cooker for making yogurt, add the milk to the slow cooker and heat it on HIGH until it reaches the correct temperature. Then, let it drop off to the lower temperature (2-3 hours). Then, combine a cup of the warm milk with your starter before pouring it back into the slow cooker. Next, add the lid to the slow cooker, wrap it in a big towel or blanket and leave it to incubate for 8-12 hours, undisturbed.• If you have a yogurt maker, refer to the instructions that come with it.

When ready, the yogurt should have thickened and will be jiggly. Note that the longer you leave the yogurt to ferment, the tangier it will taste.Once the incubation period is over, transfer it to the fridge to set for a further 12-24 hours for a thicker plain yogurt. Finally, pour off any whey that may be sitting on the top and enjoy!

Step 2: Leave the Yogurt to Ferment

Instead of transferring it to the fridge as written above, transfer the yogurt to a nut milk bag, muslin cloth, or several layers of cheesecloth.

Hand that above a bowl (i.e., from your sink faucet, a kitchen cabinet, or by placing it in the rim of a large jar) and leave it to strain to your desired thickness. I recommend assessing it at 3-4 hours, leaving it for longer if desired.There&#39;s no need to discard the strained whey. This is packed with protein and can be used in smoothies, added to baked goods, soups, stocks, stews, etc.

Once ready, transfer the homemade Greek-style yogurt to a sterilized glass jar and place it in the fridge.

Step 3: Strain the Yogurt (Optional to Make Greek Yogurt)

Homemade plain yogurt will last between 1-2 weeks in the fridge. For maximum shelf life, always use clean utensils in the container. Even better, store it in several smaller airtight jars.If you add any flavorings, the shelf life will reduce. For example, fruit purees make it best eaten within 3-4 days, stored in the refrigerator.Remember to set aside a few spoonfuls (1/2 cup) of the previous batch as a starter for your next batch.

HOW-TO: DIY HOMEMADE NATURAL YOGURT

Juicy Chicken Patties, made with just a few simple ingredients...NO bread crumbs or eggs needed! These chicken patties can be baked, grilled, or pan-fried all within 10-20 minutes, making it an easy weeknight meal.

Easy Chicken Patties {Healthy, Gluten-free, Dairy-free}

lbs chicken breast, boneless & skinless (*see notes

yellow onion, chopped ((about 1/2 large))

garlic cloves,

½ tsp ground black pepper

tsp smoked paprika

parsley

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Chop chicken breast into large chunks. Place all ingredients into a food processor and blend in 15-30 second pulses, until chicken mixture is ground up. (It will start to clump together into a ball when it is done.)

Wet your hands with a bit of water (I like to keep a bowl of water next to me) and use a 1/2 cup to scoop out chicken mixture. (Make sure measuring cup is fully packed in each time to get even portions.)

Pull the chicken mixture out of the measuring cup, and lay it out on a large sheet pan sprayed with non-stick cooking oil.

Press down on the mixture to form into a patty (slightly larger than a hamburger bun). Continue forming the rest of the patties, dipping hands in water as needed to prevent from sticking.

Bake on middle rack for about 20 minutes, or until fully cooked through, flipping halfway. (Spacing out the patties allows them to brown better.)

Ready to serve, or freeze for later use!  (See notes for Grill &amp; Skillet Instructions.)
