ZUCCHINI QUICHE 🪴👩🏻‍🌾🧀🧄

[aniah-who]

I have a vision, and it's green (:

For those of you who don't know me, hi— I'm Aniah (: and I have a pretty big green thumb; and by this, I really just mean that I'm a proud plant mom. From succulents to vines, from palms to trees, I have it. However, recently, I've grown an itch to add an additional category of plants to the family- kitchen herbs! I'm super excited to get into the rhythm of research and even more excited to go shopping once I complete my Herbs-To-Buy list! A few herbs that have already added to my list are Oregano, Lavender, Rosemary, Thyme, Parsley, Dill, Basil, and Sage. If you guys have any tips or recommendations at all regarding ideal herbs or just gardening in general, feel free to drop a comment! By the way, these will all be indoors <3

Alton Brown Guacamole recipe any one?

The only guacamole I eat.

Software

3 ripe Hass avocados, halved, pitted, and peeled

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, plus more to taste

1/2 medium onion, diced

2 small Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

1/2 jalapeño, minced

1 clove garlic, minced

Procedure

Place the avocado pulp and lime juice in a large mixing bowl and toss to combine.

Add the salt, cumin, and cayenne, and mash using a potato masher, leaving some larger chunks for texture.

Add the onion, tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeño, and garlic, and stir to combine. Lay plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole and allow to sit at room temperature for 2 hours before serving.

The sitting at room temp makes a big diff but if you don’t want to do it at room temp, you can do in the fridge bit longer or overnight since it is cold and take longer for flavors to mix.

Happy holidays,

Laili

Quick pro tip from someone who regularly cooks her own meals and has eaten mostly homecooked meals for the past ~3-4 years:

The reason recipes list things like “a $1.47 recipe” is because it’s talking about per serving. Yes, of course you can’t buy idk $1 worth of meat at the supermarket but look at it this way.

Let’s say a soup recipe’s ingredients cost $8 but it produces 16 servings. (This seems high but if you use 8 oz tupperware to freeze portions, it’s very possible with high volume low cost recipes like soup.) Each serving cost you $0.50. How does this save you money? It’s so that you can compare the cost of that recipe to the cost of other meals/snacks you buy for comparison. For example, let’s say a box of 12 Poptarts costs $5, each package/serving size is 2 poptarts, so that comes out to 6 servings per box or roughly $0.83 per serving.

This shows me that although the upfront cost of cooking the soup seems more expensive than the Poptarts ($8 versus $5), making the soup is actually more cost effective because it will provide me more than double the servings of the Poptarts despite costing only about half again as much money. That’s not even considering how the Poptarts are highly processed and contain high amounts of sugar, whereas the soup recipe is much more likely to be healthy considering it’s made of vegetables.

My conclusion is then that I should spend $8 on soup ingredients rather than $5 on Poptarts because the soup will provide me more meals over a longer period of time, in addition to being much more healthy for me.

The key to budgeting, grocery shopping, home cooking meals, and nutrition is looking at cost per serving + the number of servings you can make in relation to the overall cost of the recipe. Another skill that compounds this is batch cooking based on shared ingredients: for example, a $3 bag of potatoes isn’t cost-effective if you’re only making one recipe that needs about 4 potatoes (what if you don’t use the potatoes and they end up spoiling?), but if you make three different recipes at once that use potatoes in them, that $3 becomes a very wise investment indeed.

So that’s why humans like cooking oil so much! It turns out, if you fry up a few spices in oil, even adding plain ol’ beans in tomato sauce tastes amazing! Who’d have thought

actually yknow what, no. this is not being limited to discord, yall get it too.

some general cooking tips (in which there is a brief senshi posession):

moisture is the enemy of crispy skin. pat dry with paper towel, and if you have the time and spoons, give a thorough but even coat of baking powder and let sit uncovered in your fridge overnight. this will dry out the skin nicely. for pork belly, create a tight foil boat so that only the skin is showing, and cover in salt to draw out moisture, repeating a couple times if necessary.

furikake seasoning, for the fellow rice lovers, is just nori (seaweed), sesame seeds, sugar, and msg/salt. you might have most if not all of these things already in your kitchen.

chai spice mix is just cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, & allspice.

pumpkin spice is just cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.

to cure your own bacon, you only need water, white and brown sugar, and a non-iodized salt - himalayan pink salt is not iodized, if you cannot find butchers curing pink salt. from there, you can add any seasoning/flavoring you want.

the truly adventurous may cook their rice in green tea for a fresh clean taste.

you can tell if a fish is truly fresh by their eyes - clear and bright is fresh, while cloudy is older or potentially has been frozen.

it's cheaper to buy a large block pack of ramen from your local asian market and repackage the bricks into sandwich bags, than to buy a box of individually packaged ones such as maruchan or top ramen.

when buying meat, look at it's fat content - more fat marbling usually means more tender + flavorful.

you can save onion skins and other vegetable scraps to make your own broth with. you can also save bones for this. mix and match ratios to create your ideal flavor.

bay leaf will always make a soup or broth taste better, but Watch Out (they are not fun to bite into on accident).

msg is, in fact, not The Devil, that was just a racist hate campaign against the chinese and other oriental races. it's literally just a type of salt. it is no more dangerous to eat than any other type of salt.

washing your rice is important because it not only improves flavor and texture by removing excess starch, but it also helps reduce any residual pesticides or dirt, or even insect fragments (please remember that rice paddies are essentially giant ponds that all kind of things live in and swim around. you should also be washing all your produce in general.)

please salt your cooking water for pastas, it just tastes better and you will be happier for it.

boiled potatoes are also improved by salt water.

if you hate vegetables, please consider trying them fried in butter or perhaps bacon grease. it is healthier to eat them fatty than not at all.

healthy food does not in fact have to taste miserable. thats a lie. they are lying to you. free yourself from your blandness shackles. enter a world of flavor.
