I BELIEVE IN BROCCOLI AND BROWNIES

When I stepped outside to look at the garden the other day, I was amazed at the transformation. Just a short month ago, the garden was a few seeds underneath dirt and some transplanted plants. Now four weeks later I’m making salads with lettuce from the garden. This transformation made me think about how much we can change in a month for good or bad. Is there a habit you want to start? Getting more sleep, exercising more consistently, eating more vegetables? Is there a habit you want to stop? Sleeping late? Always eating on the go? Choose something you want to improve and work on it for one month. The transformation may be as powerful as the one I saw in my garden.

 Ever try to pull your Kitchen Aid mixer or blender across the counter only to have it be unmovable? Well here is a kitchen quick tip. Place a neatly folded kitchen towel under your blender, mixer, or food processor. The towel makes the appliances glide across the counter.  Once upon a time there was a girl trying to find a pattern for a cloth face mask. The first one she found was too small, the next one two big, and finally after modifying couple of patterns she found one that was just right.
 About 15 years ago, I made homemade flour tortillas on a consistent basis. The ingredients were simple, they were easy to make, and tasted good. But like many things in life overtime I stopped making them. I probably stopped because it is really, really, easy to pick up a pack of tortillas at the grocery store. With the current COVID pandemic happening, I’ve been staying at home and limiting trips to the grocery store. So, I decided to take up tortilla making again. While tortillas are easy to make, they do take a little time to roll and shape, but the delicious flavor is worth the time.
The ingredient list is simple: Flour, salt, fat (shortening or oil), and water. Start by mixing the flour and salt together. Then add in your fat. You can use oil or shortening. I use oil, because I’m a dietitian and oil is healthier than solid fats. Use your fingers to cut the fat into the flour mixture until it make coarse crumbs. |
