Golden Milk Latte (With Coffee)
If you’re a fan of chai lattes, turmeric, and coffee, you’re going to love this coffee recipe. Did you know that the original Golden Milk Latte was created by Chef Paul Bertolli? It was a mixture of warm water, ground coffee, raw sugar, coconut milk, and spices. While I enjoy the original version… I decided to change it up a bit and make my version with one of my favorite spices. I add Chinese Five Spice to mine to add some wonderfully warm and familiar spices.

Best and Easiest Baked Potato Recipe
Today, I thought we could go back to the basics and review a simple skill that every good home cook should master, how to bake a potato.
I know what you’re thinking, why all the fuss about a baked potato? Well, let me start by saying if you’ve ever enjoyed a good supper club/restaurant-style baked potato, you know what I’m talking about. Those baked potatoes with skins that are irresistibly golden, and crispy with a satisfying hint of crunchy salt in each bite. The insides are perfectly light, fluffy, and steamy, ready to enjoy with a melty pad of butter, a dash of fresh chives, or maybe loaded up with all of your favorite toppings. If you’ve had that, then you know what the fuss is about. If not, trust me when I say it’s worth the extra time needed to make the potato.

Can you eat squash seeds?
Absolutely! All squash seeds are edible. Everything from butternut to pumpkins. All too often squash seeds are dropped into the trash or compost bins. But not only are Squash seeds edible and easy to prepare, but they also make a wonderful, nutrient-dense crispy snack full of things like omega-3 fatty acids, protein, beta-carotene, and vitamin C.
Some favorites include roasted seeds from spaghetti squash, acorn, buttercup, butternut, turban, Hubbard, kabocha, and Delicata squash.
