If you’re about to make the swap of cauliflower rice for real rice for the first time, I want to be honest about one thing: riced cauliflower is not going to fool you as a stand-in for grains of actual rice. (Just like cauliflower pizza crust isn’t going to fool you into thinking you’re eating pizza.) It is most definitely a vegetable. But cauliflower’s lightness and fresh flavor are pretty incredible on their own merits, and when it’s shredded or processed so the florets and stems are broken down into firm “grains,” you can use them much like you would rice. They’ve proven themselves to be a super-versatile, grain-free substitute when you want a vegetable alternative to rice. Despite the difference in flavor, riced cauliflower can do just about everything your favorite variety of rice can do — just as long as you avoid these missteps along the way. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/04/26/mistakes-to-avoid-when-substituting-cauliflower-for-rice-in-any-dish-tips-from-the-kitchn/

From Apartment Therapy → How to Think Like a Florist When Choosing & Caring for Fresh Flowers at Home via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/04/26/how-to-think-like-a-florist-when-choosing-fresh-flowers-at-home-apartment-therapy/ One of the most common myths about protein is that we generally don’t consume enough — both omnivores and those on stricter diets, like vegetarians and vegans, are told this by family, friends, and the media. The good news is that we actually do usually eat enough, if we are eating a well-balanced diet. But what exactly is enough? Every single person on earth has different protein needs and those needs will shift over time depending on your age, weight, current activity level, and if you’re undergoing anything major, like pregnancy or illness. That makes it pretty tricky to calculate, but there are some great guidelines that can help you feel confident in the protein you are actually eating. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/04/26/how-much-protein-do-you-actually-need-to-eat-protein-101/ If you’re fluent in cooking, then chances are you’ve heard of sous vide — which literally translates to “under vacuum” in French. It’s a cooking technique conceived in the 1970s and the process entails putting ingredients in a bag, sucking the air out, and cooking the bag in a water bath at a precise temperature. Sound fancy? It’s cause it is. But now, thanks to a company called Nomiku, sous vide cooking is more accessible and fail-proof than it ever was before. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/04/26/these-new-meal-kits-make-sous-vide-the-easiest-way-to-cook-food-news/ If you’ve been honing your at-home mixology skills, it’s only natural that you’d want to show them off to your friends. But don’t put in a ton of effort making a classy cocktail only to serve it in a chipped glass or an old plastic cup you stole from the dining hall back in college. Serve it in a proper cocktail glass — one worthy of your creation. It’s possible to stock up on new glasses without breaking the bank — promise! You can get four of these (sold either as a set or individually) and spend less than $50. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/04/26/drink-like-a-grownup-with-these-classy-cocktail-glasses-under-50-shopping/ It slides in the shelf sideways, due to its tall picture-book shape, but even from this reduced position, My Learn to Cook Book holds its own among the more usual suspects. Inscribed “Maria, from Grandpa & Grandma Speidel, Merry Christmas, 1969,” this Big Golden Book (as opposed to Little Golden Books like The Pokey Puppy) was my very first cookbook. I had just turned 8 and was thrilled as I turned the pages describing wonders like baked Alaska and kebabs, which oddly called for three different types of meat. Smudges on the pages for baked bananas and chocolate mousse bear witness to my lifelong sweet tooth. I mainly concentrated on the easily achieved lemon fizz, aka homemade sparkling lemonade, an exotic treat in the days before San Pellegrino’s Limonatas were at every Trader Joe’s. Reaming the lemons, adding the sugar, and mixing it all up was infinitely more satisfying than my other “cooking,” which consisted of huddling in the bathroom, using a Q-tip to muddle baby powder and water on a doll’s dish. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/04/26/why-ill-never-konmari-my-cookbook-collection-smart-spring-cleaning/

We’ll show you what to drink no matter what you’re having, because we believe there’s always a wine that can show up and make your night. There are nights when all you can muster the energy for is scrambling some eggs and calling it dinner. We all have these nights — they usually call for some wine too. Eggs aren’t the easiest food to pair with wine, but it can be done! Eggs for dinner, wine to match — here’s what to grab at the store on your way home. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/04/26/the-best-wine-to-drink-when-youre-eating-eggs-for-dinner-what-to-drink-when/ Sheet pan meals are my holy grail of easy weeknight dinners. Easy prep, easy cooking, and, best of all, easy cleanup. Along with my love for chicken thighs, it’s why I keep a chicken sheet pan supper in my meal plan every single week. From week to week the essential structure of the recipe stays the same, but to keep it fresh I change up the veggies. Here are 10 ways I make a chicken and vegetable sheet pan supper — start with chicken, add veggies! via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/04/25/10-easy-ways-to-make-a-chicken-and-vegetable-sheet-pan-dinner-tips-from-the-kitchn/ Tami Hardeman is the observant eye and stylist behind the popular blog Running with Tweezers.

An extension of Tami’s own cooking style, Pulse Revolution‘s 150 recipes are vegetarian but include both meat enhancements and vegan adaptations.
