Garlic Salt

-
I was introduced to garlic salt at the beginning of this year and it quickly became one of my favorite seasonings.
The sugar and salt balance the sharp flavor of the garlic.
Ingredients
4 tbs salt
2 tbs garlic powder
2 tbs sugar
1 tbs dried parsley

Mix! You can add some uncooked rice to absorb moisture and keep your powder from sticking together.
Use liberally.

Mug Cake

I swear you can make anything you want in a mug in the microwave. If you haven’t tried this you’re missing out. One of my best friends introduced this concept to me when I was in high school and I fell in love. It’s perfect for when you want something sweet, but don’t want to bake a whole cake (which is me all the time). I adapted this recipe from Sweet Little Bluebird . It’s completely vegan unless you use non-vegan chocolate chips. Double the dry ingredients and save the other half for next time! You can also make a full batch of cake mix and just use it bit by bit. Ingredients 3 tbs flour 3 tbs sugar 2 tbs cocoa 1/8 tsp baking soda Pinch of salt 1/4 tsp white vinegar 1/8 tsp vanilla extract (optional) 1 tsp coconut oil 2 tsp water Chocolate chips Microwave the coconut oil in the mug. Add ingredients and mix. I like to put chocolate chips on top. Put in the microwave and cook for 1-3 minutes or until cooked. Enjoy!

Baking Squash

-
This recipe works for any type of squash, but my favorite squash is butternut. Preheat the oven to 400˙. Chop squash in half. Scoop the seeds out (you can save them and roast them like pumpkin seeds if you want). Place the squash face down on a baking sheet and roast until a fork slides softly through the skin, about 30 mins. Flip rightside up and let cool. Scoop squash out of shell with spoon and use now or save for later use.

Hello!

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog! My name is Laurel and I’m a senior in college. Family dinners were always a big deal in my family, and as a kid I would always hang around the kitchen as my parents were cooking, and often they would invite me to help them. My dad especially loves to cook and taught me lots of tips and tricks for making cooking easy and fun! He’s Italian and Polish, so many of the recipes I got from him are Italian and Polish inspired. My mom is a nutritionist, so she’s always made sure we ate our vegetables and inspired us to be healthy. This year I am finally living in a house with housemates and we’ve had lots of fun cooking for each other, but it also made me realize that not everyone has been as fortunate as me to have learned so much about cooking from my parents. I’ve noticed some of them and other friends being nervous about their cooking even though they always make delicious meals, so for everyone out there who’s nervous about cooking healthy, quick c...
