The post This Mashed Potato Trick Will Become Your Favorite appeared first on Cooking 4 All.
]]>Coming from the TikTok page of the comedian Jourdyn Jeaux Parks, this tip is so genius that we wonder why it’s not more common. Parks recommends cooking potatoes in a mix of chicken broth or beef stock and water, instead of using just water for that.
“I personally like the skin on my potatoes,” she says. “So I wash them, then I rub them down with avocado oil. But if you don’t like to keep the skin, you peel your potatoes, you can cut your potatoes in half, then you add a cup of water and put them in either chicken broth or beef stock depending on what you’re going to serve the mashed potatoes with.”
This way, you can get delicious mashed potatoes that match your main dish perfectly. It requires little to no extra effort and the result is definitely worth it!

]]>Contrary to the popular belief, people didn’t start putting milk in tea to make it taste better. Sure, many agree that black tea with some milk is delicious, but there was a whole other reason why this trend first started. Back in the 18th century, tea was very popular and very expensive. The rich people would drink it from special china cups but those who couldn’t afford them faced one problem. Their regular cups would break from the hot tea, so they started pouring some milk first before adding tea. The result turned out to be delicious and the tradition survived throughout centuries.
Tea was so expensive that many families used more milk with just a little bit of tea. Those who could afford tea did the opposite, and that’s probably why more tea and less milk is the combination that stuck. The truth is, you can use any amount of tea and milk you want, it’s totally subjective.

]]>The post 3 Delicious Coffee Drinks to Make at Home appeared first on Cooking 4 All.
]]>Iced Coffee
Iced coffee looks fancy in tall glasses in coffee shops, but it’s very easy to recreate it at home. Make some fresh coffee and leave it to cool, then blend it together with milk (or non-dairy milk) and sugar/sweetener to taste. Put some ice in the glass and pour the drink over it.
Latte
Lattes look fancy with the milk foam art, but that final touch is totally optional. At home, you can mix coffee with heated and whisked milk. If you’re feeling extra, sprinkle some cinnamon on the top. Adding spices like pumpkin pie spice is a great way to turn a regular cup of coffee into a wonderful treat.
Mocha
Mocha is very similar to a latte, except that it has an additional layer of chocolate. The method is the same as when making a latte, but use a glass instead of a cup and spread some chocolate syrup around the edges before adding coffee and milk.

]]>Pick the Right Pumpkin
You need to be careful when picking a pumpkin for carving. It should be ripe enough and bright orange in color, but not too ripe. Fresh pumpkins have a green stem, and older ones have a browner stem. Big pumpkins are better for carving, not only you will have a larger canvas to work on, but they also have thicker walls you can get creative with.
Choose the Shape
From classic jack-o’-lantern to complex carvings, there’s a variety of designs you can choose from so choose carefully. It’s a good idea to draw the outline before carving if you want it to look neat.
What About Special Tools?
We have great news, you don’t need any! In fact, they may make carving more difficult so it’s better to stick to a sharp kitchen knife. Explore other tools if you want to create texture and add details to your carving, but one trusty knife is all you need to start.

]]>Whole Wheat Bread
Bread made from 100% whole wheat is a great source of protein, fiber, and minerals. Studies have shown that increasing whole grains intake can reduce the risk of chronic diseases. There’s also a link between whole grains and weight loss.
Multigrain Bread
Combining multiple grains in one bread is a genius idea. Besides whole wheat, you can use oats, amaranth, buckwheat, and other grains to bake your favorite bread that’s also very good for you. Be careful when buying multigrain bread as they often contain refined flour. It’s best to look for the “100% whole grain” label on them.
Oat Bread
While you’re making oatmeal, why not make oat bread as well? Oats are amazing for lowering bad cholesterol, keeping blood sugar under control, and lowering blood pressure. They contain a lot of soluble fiber and can help when you’re feeling constipated.

]]>Dates are native to Northern Africa and the Middle East, although today they are grown in other parts of the world, too. Some of the places in the U.S. where you can find the date palm trees include California, Arizona, and Florida. The plant has evolved to survive high desert temperatures.
How To Use Dates
You can use dates to make cakes, smoothies, energy bars, and many other things. They are often used as a sugar replacement as they are exceptionally sweet. Together with nuts, seeds, and other fruits (dried or fresh), dates make amazing vegan & high-protein energy balls or bars that you can store in the fridge for several days.
Nutritional Benefits
Dates also have many health and nutritional benefits. They contain vitamin B6, potassium, magnesium, copper, manganese, and iron. They are believed to be good for brain health, as well as your overall health. Pregnant women use dates to promote labor and help with contractions as they approach their due date (no pun intended).
