10 Cold Vegetarian Soup Recipes For Summer's Hottest Days If -- like most residents of the U.S. -- you're in the midst of a record-breaking heat wave, then these chilled summer soups are just the menu items you need to stay out of the kitchen. Plus, they are all meat-free. From fruit-based soups that require zero cooking to more complicated vegetable options that you can make ahead and freeze, turn to these cold dishes to stay cool all summer. And don't miss the dessert half of this series: 10 Cold Dessert Recipes for Summer's Hottest Days Vichyssoise is a classic cold soup -- and it doesn't get much more classic than Julia Child's recipe, made with just a few natural ingredients: potatoes, leeks, heavy cream, vegetable stock, and chives. The soup is a bit more labor intensive than some of the others here -- you have to simmer the potatoes for as long as 50 minutes, then blend them, then strain through cheesecloth -- but the end result is worth it.

30 Delicious Things To Cook In April Packing Clothes I travel light; as light, that is, as a man can travel who will still carry his body around because of its sentimental value. How To Pack It Although perhaps somewhat more relevant to business than vacation travel, most of us do not want to spend our days looking like an untidy mess. Folds, Creases, & Wrinkles Some of this will be determined by the clothing fabrics themselves: natural materials acquire and retain creases much more readily than synthetic ones. Creases result from applying pressure to folds. Wrinkles are essentially tiny folds that most often result from garments moving against each other and adjoining surfaces. The common practice of individually folding items of clothing, then stacking them atop one another (as shown at right), is just about the worst thing you can do from a packing perspective, commonly resulting in both creases and wrinkles. But What About … ? Fortunately, there is an alternative technique, one that is close to ideal … Bundle Wrapping Preliminaries Begin …
Creamy Roasted Carrot Soup « Food-Fitness-FreshAir Transportation problems. Life problems. January problems. This is the story of my winter every year. These stretches of 20-degree weather aren’t doing me much good. If I could plan ahead to assemble an outfit warm enough for a walk to the car, or an even warmer set of layers for a ride on my bike, maybe I’d be better at embracing the eye-opening air. I do love, however, the excuse to spend Saturday afternoons curled up in my kitchen, tunes blaring, soup jamming on my stove. The beauty of a good soup is that you need only a few steps for it to turn out tasty. Just talking about this recipe is making me appreciate winter. Creamy Roasted Carrot Soup Ingredients -1 1/2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil -2 lb carrots, halved lengthwise and cut into 1-inch pieces -1 onion, halved and sliced 1/2-inch thick -3 garlic cloves, minced -1-inch piece of ginger, peeled and minced -1/2 tsp. Instructions Preheat oven to 450F.

vegan mac & cheese I’m not going to lie and tell you that no one will believe this doesn’t have cheese. If you’re vegan, this will taste darn cheesy… if you are a true cheese lover (as my husband Jack is), you won’t be totally fooled but you will devour it anyway. Jack likes to make fun of me when I make things like this… calls it “mac & sauce” and “vegan velveeta,” In the end he always eats his words. This one is just as tasty as this recipe… except this time the creaminess comes from coconut milk. Ingredients 1 small onion, finely chopped 1/4 cup earth balance vegan butter (or regular butter) 1/4 cup flour, I used spelt 3 cloves garlic, minced squeeze of lemon 1 cup coconut milk 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (not regular baking yeast) 2 tablespoons dijon mustard 2 tablespoons tomato paste 2 teaspoons turmeric 1/4 to 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (to taste), plus a little more on top 8-12 oz elbow pasta, I used this brown rice brand 1 to 1-2 cups pasta water, use a little at a time 1 cup frozen peas salt & pepper
How to Make Earl Grey Salted Caramels, Step-by-Step Recipe - Home - Oh, How Civilized My sister suggested a tea infused candy for a post, so Queenie (my cooking/baking guru) and I came up with Earl Grey Salted Caramels.

82 Clever and Creative Fred & Friends Products I'm sure you've come across Fred & Friend products before at your local indie store and might not have even known it. Last weekend I was cruising around town and stopped at an indie store only to find one whole corner of the place dedicated to Fred & Friend products. It was heavenly. I stood there for probably more than a half hour laughing and checking out all their cool stuff. A lot of creativity goes into the making of these products, and I think part of that cleverness is shown in the name of the product and the slogan. Which one's your favorite?

Roasted Beets with Balsamic Glaze Recipe Every Saturday my dad heads to the local farmers market and, if the season is right, comes home with a big bunch of beets, which he then scrubs clean, boils, quarters, and marinates in oil and vinegar. So by the time I show up in the morning we have a bowlful of beets for breakfast or lunch. Boiled beets are fine; the method is fast, energy efficient, and since the beets are so naturally strongly flavored, combined with the dressing, it works. That said, over the years I can’t count the number of people who have tried to get me to roast beets instead of boiling them. The orange zest and balsamic glaze? Ingredients 2 pounds red beets, medium sized, scrubbed clean, green tops removed (see beet greens recipe for what to do with beet greens)Olive oilSalt1/2 cup balsamic vinegar2 teaspoons sugar1 teaspoon grated orange zestFreshly ground black pepper Method 1 Preheat oven to 400°F. 2 While the beets are cooling, prepare the balsamic glaze. 4 Place beets in a serving bowl.
