Homemade yogurt + granola + fruit
I’ve been making my own dairy yogurt for the past couple of months, following the kitchn’s Instant Pot method. It’s time-consuming and inconvenient, even with the Instant Pot, but the result is so much better and fresher than store-bought. I usually start it in the morning by pouring a carton of whole milk into the

Fridge-clearing rice bowl
I’ve made so many versions of this rice bowl that I’m no longer sure where I learned it from. This time I managed to work in chunks of purple sweet potato. It’s different every time, but there are some steps I always follow:

Hungryroot review: just okay
I’ve tried Hungryroot’s online grocery service a couple of times now. Each time I expect it to be a game changer, and each time it’s…just okay. Here’s what I’ve liked and disliked about it: The great The not-so-great GIF by swimmingalmondtacoland So, the search for the best way to grocery shop and meal prep continues. I

Gluten-free pretzel bites from Eastern Standard Provisions
I have no idea who Eastern Standard Provisions is — a pretzel company? — but I saw these in the freezer at Sprouts and they seemed worth trying. You can bake them from frozen in minutes — just add water/oil/butter and the included pretzel salt, and pop them in the oven for about 6 minutes.

No time nachos
A great way to repurpose leftovers: layer tortilla chips, cooked chicken, and cheese in a bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds or until cheese is melted. Top with salsa and chopped scallions or your toppings of choice. Enjoy in the ~5 minutes before your carriage turns into a pumpkin.

Morning glory muffin shortcut

I’ve made Bakerita’s paleo version before and they were delicious, but I was short on time this week so I took a shortcut. I bought Simple Mills’ banana muffin mix and followed

Making Thermomix bread without a Thermomix
My coworker told me about making this gluten-free health bread that actually tasted good in the Thermomix, and — despite not having a Thermomix — I wanted to try it. I’ve tried to make a few similar breads, but they were pretty dry and flavorless, and ended up languishing at the bottom of my freezer,

Happy new year! Have a chocolate soufflé
I’ve been watching the show Julia and some of Julia Child’s cooking shows on YouTube. There’s an episode where she makes three different kinds of soufflés with Jacques Pépin. One is a huge chocolate soufflé that looks like a gooey chocolate cloud. I didn’t quite want to recreate it, but I wanted to make something

Air Fryer Tofu and Peanut Sauce Ramen Bowl
Jessica in the Kitchen’s Crispy Air Fryer Tofu is a game changer. It actually gets crispy, and nothing burns or gets stuck to the pan. The secret, according to the recipe, is coating the tofu cubes in cornstarch before air-frying. It’s also versatile: you can mix up the spices to pair with almost anything. My

Apple oatmeal in the Instant Pot
Screw steel-cut oats. I never liked the texture, and I never will. I make Minimalist Baker’s Instant Pot Oats with regular old rolled (gluten-free) oats, and they’re creamy and delicious. You mix a cup of oats with 2.5 cups liquid (a mix of dairy-free milk and water), and pressure cook them for 2 minutes with
