food52.com
I am not a good baker and have had many #foodfails while making cakes. Cracked cakes have become a norm - I convinced myself this gives my cakes character. But - finally - some good #bakingtips on ...
Love hard boiled eggs, but have a hard time taking the shell off. Any good tricks to share with me?
-
sugardetoxme Don't use fresh ones (unfortunately) and shock with cold water right after boiling.
-
sugardetoxme Also putting eggs in a closed Tupperware and shaking vigorously to shatter the shell works
-
lauren I was told salt will do the trick!
Strawberry popcorn I discovered at Dean & DeLuca. Looking forward to trying it out as never seen / heard of before!
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Wow! @brittanymbarton you would love this
-
brittanymbarton I've never even heard of it! is it popcorn or a type of strawberry??
-
sugardetoxme The farm at McCarren Park on Saturday sells some heirloom variety of corn for popping but not this red!
Made lunch and now I want to eat it for breakfast 😋
Purple sweet potato and spicy green beans!
My fridge is in dire need of food and had limited ingredients to play with this morning, so made this colorful spicy & sweet dish for lunch.

mirasingh This looks amazing! Do you sell these?

LannyGoLightly @mirasingh Thank you! This was just day-off baking, using one of my tried and true recipes.

lauren Yum! I made this a few years ago and have been meaning to try it again. Did you need to squeeze the water out of the cauliflower after microwaving?
-
sugardetoxme I did a cauliflower crust (not for pizza) with nutritional yeast but would be curious what recipe you used too
-
unconventionalbaker I've tried that before as well and it worked great 👍🏻

darkchocolatepeanutbutter Although I haven't done the Whole30, I avoided grains for three days and saw some interesting results but I'll still bake cookies.

annefood It's interesting what she said about it being sustainable only if you never care to be social or eat food outside of your own kitchen again. The social aspect of food is huge! I have a bunch of...

darkchocolatepeanutbutter @annefood I completely agree!
Ever thought of baking oranges?! No- well, with this recipe you get the most exotic oranges (or try using mandarins) in an exotic syrup that will be perfect over French toast, waffles or even panca...

DietID_TeamDietitians Never thought of this! But I've baked so many other fruits so it makes sense. I'll try it for my next brunch with @akhilg2002!
-
akhilg2002 Yessssss. You know how much French toast. @Rachna let's please do this!
-
gingerandchorizo Haven't done that before neither, must try!!
It's 4 o'clock, snack time!
Any other topping suggestions?
-
sugardetoxme I seriously never thought of almond butter on a sweet potato. Is it good? And did all that talking about baked potatoes get you hungry?? 😝
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter Yep! I didn't think of almond butter either but I've been using sweet potatoes as a substitute for toast.
-
mirasingh If the logic carries, then I bet avocado a d chili flakes would be great as well.

I always add a pan of water to the oven while I'm cooking fish to keep it moist and help it cook evenly, but I didn't know you could do the same for cakes! Cool!

unconventionalbaker
Good tips @Rachna. Also making sure the balance between the acid and base is correct. A lot of the cake's rise depends on the interaction between those two (like baking soda and lemon juice for...

You'll also want to ensure your leavening agents are fresh and active. Too high a temp is often the culprit.
