This video shows you one of my favorite, staple techniques in the kitchen - cooking dried beans! Cooking beans from scratch is not only more economical and produces less packaging waste (if you buy in bulk), but home cooked beans also turn out so much more delicious than store-bought. Plus, you can flavor them any way you like. Click here to watch.
How to Make Vinaigrette and Marinated Lentils
If you know how to make vinaigrette, you are only minutes away from a delicious salad dressing /sauce /marinade. I see it as the most essential dressing recipe to know by heart. In this video, I make a nice shallot vinaigrette following a simple ratio, and then use it to marinate some lentils. Marinated lentils are such a great meal prep item to have in your fridge, for filling out meals like salads, veggie bowls, etc. Click here to watch.
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins
The idea for these muffins came from a smoothie shop I used to frequent back in NYC. They sold some baked goods in addition to smoothies, including peanut butter and jelly muffins. I remember wanting to recreate that muffin flavor at home as soon as I saw them, and this was years ago. I finally got around to it! These muffins are made with spelt flour and are filled with a layer of peanut butter and chia jam in the middle, as well as topped with a swirl of both. The recipe has you make extra chia jam, so that you can top the muffins with more of it, which is my favorite way to enjoy them. Hope you'll give these a try!
