Adapted from Milk Street (If you subscribe to their newsletter, you'll get this recipe along with this curried lentil recipe and 10 other enticing ones for free.) I've made a few changes: I add vegetables: cabbage and carrots. If you wish to add vegetables, too, be sure to choose vegetables that will soften under the heat of boiling water poured over them. Finely chopping or shredding the vegetables will help. I think Romaine lettuce would work nicely here, too. I use 2 tablespoons of sugar, and I find it to be sweet enough, but use the full 3 if you wish. I have yet to top each serving with a fried egg, but if you wish to do so, fry it directly in the skillet you use to infuse the oil with the chilies, sesame seeds, and scallions. Next time, I may try infusing the grapeseed oil with crushed Sichuan peppercorns. I love the numbing mala sensation. I'll keep you posted.

Defined as “to repair with gold”, kintsukuroi/kintsugi is a Japanese technique used to fix broken pottery with golden lacquer. The definition goes deeper; the belief of kintsukuroi is that the piece is more beautiful for being broken. This is a great metaphor for our lives. In the Bible, Job declares his belief that when his trials […]

Salt can enhance the flavor of your favorite dishes, but it can do so much more than that too! Check out these 9 practical uses for salt around the house.
It is a fact of life that buildings, as they age, inevitably fall apart. We Americans are not quite comfortable with this. We like everything to be shiny and new: we like all our buildings and our interior finishes to have the smooth sameness of youth. But the Japanese have developed a way of dealing with this. They have, in fact, embraced the idea that sometimes fixing broken things can make them even better and more beautiful than when they were new.

In case you missed it I shared on Instagram Live that the collection also includes a removable tile/floor covering, called Stepping Stone, available in 3 colors. When we were working on my Sisters' kitchen, I tried it out on the old laminate floor and not only was it simple, it looked SO GOOD! I just had a couple sample pieces, so pulled it up after snapping some photos, and it came up with no residue (if you are a renter looking for a temporary fix). It works over wood, tile and laminate floors! And if you're wondering could you use this on the wall, the answer is YES! It would be an amazing backsplash for a kitchen or bar refresh.

We ALL have occasional kitchen disasters (yes, even me!). New cooking methods, unfamiliar ingredients, a temperamental oven, or even just a few minutes of distraction can sometimes turn what seemed like a simple recipe into a total mess. Before you pick up the phone and order a pizza, here are 10 of my favorite quick and easy ways to fix some common cooking mistakes so you can still get dinner on the table in time: 1. The Disaster: Mushy, overcooked vegetables. How to Fix It: Drain the vegetables and place in a food processor or blender with a bit of butter and puree until smooth, then serve on the side as an easy vegetable puree. You can also add chicken broth to the puree to thin it out into a wonderful creamy vegetable soup. 2. The Disaster: Food that is WAY too spicy. Photo Credit: Mccormick.com How to Fix It: You can fix dishes that are way too spicy by adding either dairy or sweetness. Cut the spice in a sauce, chili, stew or soup by stirring in plain yogurt, sour cream, buttermilk or heavy cream. Sweetness also helps--try adding dried fruits or a few spoonfuls of jam. If it's still too spicy to eat, serve it as a sauce or side over plain rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes. Need to fix too-spicy guacamole? Add another ripe avocado or two, or stir in a little sour cream (no it's not authentic, but it's delicious!) 3. The Disaster: Sticky, mushy rice Photo Credit: Carolyn Caster, AP How to Fix It: If it's only a little bit sticky and not too far gone, it can be saved by rinsing in cold water. Place it in a collander and run under a cool faucet, using your fingers to separate the grains. If it's super mushy/sticky, then the only thing to do is turn it into something else--it can be mixed up with cheese and eggs to make rice cakes (replace the quinoa with sticky rice in this recipe for an easy option) or mixed with ground meat and veggies then stuffed into a pepper. It can also be saved until cool and then used in rice pudding or a rice soup. 4. The Disaster: Separated buttercream frosting. Photo Credit: Beki Cook's Cake Blog How to Fix It: You can fix separated buttercream frosting by placing the mixing bowl with the frosting in it into an ice bath. Fill a larger pan or bowl half way with ice cubes and water, then plung the frosting bowl into the ice bath (make sure no liquid gets in the frosting) and whip the icing by hand or with a hand mixer until it comes together and becomes creamy, smooth frosting. And check out this post for more great tips on how to fix separated buttercream. 5. The Disaster: Mushy, overcooked pasta. How to Fix It: Drain the pasta well. Heat up some olive oil in a hot skillet and add the pasta, tossing it to coat. Season with kosher salt, black pepper, and grated cheese or top with your favorite sauce. You can also let the pasta cool completely and use it in another dish such as a noodle soup or a delicious pasta frittata. 6. The Disaster: Gluey mashed potatoes How to Fix It: You can't really fix gluey mashed potatoes, but you can save them. Spread them out in a casserole dish and dot with butter and lots of grated cheese (I like parmesan, but cheddar is also good) and breadcrumbs. Place in the oven and broil until the top is crunchy. Cut into slices and serve on the side. You can also save gluey mashed potatoes by adding veggies, chunks of ham or cheese, dusting with flour and frying into delicious potato cakes like these. 7. The Disaster: Food that is too salty How to Fix It: You've probably heard the tip about adding a raw potato to a too salty dish, but the truth is that really doesn't work. If it's a soup or stew, you need to remove part of the liquid and replace it with plain liquid (so remove a few cups of the too-salty broth and replace with unsalted broth or water). If it's a pasta or rice dish, remove part of the pasta or rice and stir in plain, cooked, unsalted pasta or rice. The addition of acid such as lemon juice also helps to balance out the flavor. If it's too-salty chicken or meat, try chopping it up and tossing with pasta or salad greens to make an entree salad, or tuck it into bread for a delicious sandwich. And just like with too-spicy foods, you can serve it with a plain unseasoned side like mashed potatoes, plain pasta, or plain rice to balance the seasoning. 8. The Disaster: Overcooked meat or chicken How to Fix It: The best way to fix dry, overcooked beef or chicken is to add a liquid. Place in a casserole dish, pour in a few cups of hot chicken or beef broth, cover it, and let it sit a bit. Or top it off with a creamy gravy or salsa. You can also turn it into a different but delicious dish. Chop it up and use it in tacos topped with a delicious salsa or guacamole. Or stir it into your favorite marinara sauce. You can also chop it up and toss it with dressing and mixed greens for a quick and easy entree salad. 9. The Disaster: Your freshly baked cake is stuck in the pan How to Fix It: If the cake is stuck in the pan, but it's still hot, let it cool a bit. It may shrink and will be easier to pull out. If the cake is already cold, pop it in the oven for a few minutes or dip the bottom of the pan in hot water to warm up the fats in it, which may help loosen it. In both cases, slide a knife all around the edges and tap the bottom hard. Cake still stuck? You can try cutting it into three pieces and gently lifting out the pieces with a spatula, then "glueing" them together with frosting. Worst comes to worst, cut the cake into chunks and use it in a trifle or mash it up to make cake pops or cake truffles. 10. The Disaster: Lumpy gravy Photo Credit: Christopher Testani, Bon Appetit Magazine How to Fix It: Pour the gravy into a food processor or blender and puree until smooth (you may need to add a little bit of warm broth to it). Or pass it through a fine mesh sieve to remove the lumps of flour. How many of these kitchen disasters have you dealt with? Share any additional tips you have below!

This Paleo and Vegan caramel can be made with your choice of sugar and your choice of oil. For fully dairy-free use coconut oil. For fully vegan use either coconut sugar or maple syrup and coconut oil. Make sure not to touch the mixture while it is cooking. The sugar mixture is boiling and it has a tendency to bubble over if a whisk or spatula is used during the cooking. Use a medium pot that holds about 2 quarts liquid so the caramel can bubble without going over the edge.
