How to Open Young Coconuts at Home? Opening young coconuts is not only a “man’s job.” Any woman can do it easily, and I can show you how!

Fresh coconut water is the favorite drink when I go back to Thailand. I have to make sure to drink a lot of it, as It’s so refreshing and always makes me feel good.

You might have eaten Tofu Skin (Yuba) but have you ever wondered how it is made. This step-by-step method shows you from start to finish!

Tofu Skin is a healthy plant protein that has been consumed in Asia for centuries. The main ingredient is soybeans. I’m one of those people who grow up eating soy products of all kinds, and Tofu Skin is one of them.

Even though I have eaten Tofu Skin (Yuba) all my life, it never occurred to make my own before. Why? Because Tofu Skin is very common in Asia, and being easy to buy I never had to.

Recently I discovered how people made it in the past made it. It’s so fascinating, calming, and healthy. However, most Tofu Skin (Yuba) on the market made from regular soy milk. As I prefer to eat sprouted whole grains, nut, and seeds, I started to think about making my own at home.

I started by trying to set up my kitchen the way I saw them making Tofu Skin in a factory, but it was way too complicated. I didn’t want to have any extra equipment as I don’t make it every day. So, I had to come up with something practical and simple that would work for me.…

Looking for an easy but tasty way of cooking eggplant? This Sautéed Eggplant method has the perfect flavor, balancing garlic with its savory and sweet tones!

I grew up in Thailand where eggplant is everywhere all year round. The beautiful deep purple color of fresh picked eggplant is to die for, but to be honest, they were once one of my least favorite vegetables.

Have you been intimidated by the word canning? This easy & clear step-by-step description of Canning Peaches will help you be confident and enjoy it!

I love peaches so much. Unfortunately its season is very short and I can only enjoy juicy- local peaches a few weeks during the summer each year. I know we can buy peaches from far away lands all year round in stores, but they are never the same. The ones I buy locally during the season have ways better taste.

About a decade ago, I stumbled on a bumper sticker that said “I eat Local because I Can” with a picture of a mason jar. I was so motivated and inspired by it. Ever since, I started learning how to preserve more local food including canning for winter months.…

Have you wondered How to Roll Oats at Home? Without any expensive equipment, this method can change the way you eat rolled oats for good!

After buying rolled oats for years, I wanted to try and roll my own. As I learned so much about the problems with phytic acid in them, I looked for sprouted rolled oats on the market and found none. Then, I searched for ways to roll my own so I could sprout them first, but all I found was a method using a machine that is a bit pricey and complicated.

The way the rolled oats turned out from this machine wasn’t convincing enough for me to buy yet another thing for my kitchen, so I looked for ways I can use what I already own instead.…

Before summer ends and everything goes back to being routine, I have an urge to share this most tasty, healthy, and easy Black Bean Popsicles with you!

My teen child always wants some chilly sweets during hot days, but I am reluctant to buy store bought ice cream or popsicles. Why, there are so many “organic-healthy” popsicle options on the market, plus they can be quite inexpensive you might think.

Yes, I agree with you. However, being a conscious freak like me makes it hard to buy things that end up creating more garbage than I want.…

Even though I always have sprouted chickpeas on hand for other dishes, for a long time I hesitated to make my own hummus for one reason–I didn’t have tahini.
