Spice it Up!!





 Homemade Spice Blends

I have started to look around to make my own spice mixes. Mostly because they are so much more expensive at the store and because I only need a little of it rather than a lot. So this does not require much time and it saves you time and money (those magic words every girl wants to hear!!).

I started my research on Pinterest to see if anyone else thought the same and there are so many combinations to spice up my food. I am very excited to try them all, but of course most of them require tinkering because I don't do spicy and I like to avoid chemicals till the end. Also the amounts will affect your recipe. The chart I have posted does not belong to me but it is one of the best and easiest ones to understand.


                                                  
 


This has helped me when it comes to changing my dishes (specially baked vegetables) because I can make the same dish and it will taste completely different and it saves me from eating the same bland stuff over and over again. It makes my family happy and my wallet too!!

Non-Dairy Mashed Potatoes

Image
This past weekend was Memorial Day which usually means beach, sun and barbecue; and me being me I couldn't show up to my husbands family's house empty handed. This recipe was so good that no one thought it was vegan, let alone detox. To continue with my potato phase I made non-dairy mash potatoes without compromising taste, because who would want to do that to comfort food?? I used my handy dandy slow cooker and my wits to come up with creamy wonderful tasting mashed potatoes. The slow cooking allows the potatoes to soak up the taste of the cooking liquid and any spices you put in there. Of course I only added vegetable broth and garlic to cook it. To give it the creamy texture, after cooking it I used my food processor to cream 3/4 of the potato in the slow cooker and the rest I mashed with a potato masher. Adding flavor to me is a must, I topped it off with home-made white onion and garlic in a type of " Mojo Sauce " with no oil. If you want to add a bite and y

DETOX FOODS YOU DIDN’T KNOW YOU COULD HAVE...

Hey Guys! This post was inspired by questions of patients. I have noticed that most people that say there's not enough flavor in my food don't really know what they can have and what they are missing. Here is a cheat sheet of some of the items that you can have while on detox and what to use them for. Vinegar's and Sauces: Organic Balsamic Vinegar- is a very dark, concentrated, and intensely flavored vinegar made wholly or partially from grape must, originating in Italy. During detox it can be used raw for dressings and to flavor vegetables before roasting.The reason this needs to be organic is because it will only have natural recurring sulfites and nothing added. Apple Cider Vinegar- It’s mostly apple juice, but adding yeast turns the fruit sugar into alcohol -- this is fermentation. Bacteria turn the alcohol into acetic acid. That’s what gives vinegar its sour taste and strong smell. During detox we can use this vinegar for dressings, to make relishes and to add mo
