Cooking Challenge 2.0 begins: Game planning and Day 1 recipes
Hey Homies! I know it’s a Sunday, and we rarely ever post anything on a Sunday, but it’s a special week on Offbeat Home & Life. It’s the week of Megan’s Cooking Challenge, the second. Here’s how we’re breaking this down…
The best wheat flour tortillas I’ve ever had
This is a new tortilla recipe I found and, it makes the best tortillas I’ve ever had. It’s a recipe for wheat flour tortillas that’s been adapted slightly from Flatbreads and Flavours. These are actually surprisingly easy, and incredibly delicious when they’re fresh.
Choose-your-own-adventure, no-churn, vegan ice cream
This is definitely one of my favourite vegan desserts because it’s made with stuff from the cupboard, it’s quick to put together, and you can easily change it up with different mix-ins. The best part is you don’t even need an ice cream machine to make it.
Rainbow jello shot cake: The ultimate addition to any party
What’s better than bringing Jello shots to a party? Bringing and entire Jello shot cake, of course! I got the recipe online, but there are definitely some tips to make this whole ordeal a lot easier. Here’s how I made it…
How to kick ass and save your wallet by making your own yoghurt (with no weird shit)
I live in Australia and I can say that a litre of proper, natural yoghurt with no thickeners or emulsifiers (or “weird shit,” as I think of them) costs roughly $5-$6 for non-organic stuff. If you feel like $5 is a little too much to be paying for a litre of yoghurt then follow me, friends, and I’ll show you how to make your own for half the price, if not less.
Go to “fucking waffle heaven” with these Nutella waffles
I used a box mix for the waffles, but jazzed them up with my homemade candied hazelnuts and Nutella sauce. It’s heaven. Fucking waffle heaven. OMFG.
Replace oatmeal with quinoa for an energizing, Megan-simple breakfast!
It is my pleasure to introduce you to your new best morning friend — Quinoa Breakfast Cereal! I began replacing my morning oatmeal with quinoa because I need lots of protein to stay energized and feeling good throughout the workday, but I don’t like eating eggs every single morning! Quinoa has tons of protein, is low in fat, and gluten free. What’s not to love?
Megan-simple, winter-friendly Chana Saag (chickpeas with spinach)
This Megan-simple recipe from our menu turns out to also be super fast, vegan, gluten free, inexpensive, winter-friendly (frozen and canned ingredients totally fine) and yummy! This simplified recipe relies on ingredients that are easily available in a fairly well-stocked pantry, or everyday grocery store. Don’t be frightened by the long list — this is actually very easy to make.
