Why your storable food supply might actually cause you to starve to death

But not all storable and emergency food products are created equally. A shocking number of storable food manufacturers rely on cheap fillers, like GMO corn and soy additives, to drive up calorie counts while providing no additional nutrition. In fact, the nutritional profile of some emergency rations is so poor that you would literally starve to death if you tried to survive on them for an extended period of time. Some products may not even sustain you for the advertised length of time — which is a source of major controversy in the prepper sphere. The preparedness market is saturated with … [Read more...] about Why your storable food supply might actually cause you to starve to death
Master Class: The easiest way to burnt Basque cheesecake
“It is different from the original though because I refrigerate it. At La Viña, they slop it on your plate and it’s running all over, so you know how melty it’ll taste. At Dialogue, I make it more deceiving and more surprising by giving it structure while keeping it oozy. We cut it cold to get neat slices, then clean up the edges so it looks like a slice of cake. But when you cut into it to eat it, it melts instantly. Every time someone has it, they’re blown away by it. I think anytime you can blindside someone with something absolutely delicious, you win.” … [Read more...] about Master Class: The easiest way to burnt Basque cheesecake

Jennifer Garner’s Go-To Oatmeal Recipe Will Be Your New Favorite Breakfast
OlgaLepeshkinaGetty Images A top 10 annoyance: When winter is technically over, but it’s still cold outside. If it’s any consolation, Jennifer Garner understands the struggle. The actress and host of #PretendCookingShow on Instagram posted a video in which she demos how to prep her favorite winter oatmeal step-by-step—and the clip could not have come a better time. Set to a cheery beat, the video features Jen going in during an apple-chopping session and sneaking in a few bites before loading the apple pieces into a large measuring cup. And it seems—unlike the rest of the general population—Jennifer doesn’t have an apple preference since she uses both a green Granny Smith and red apple of some sort (a Lady Alice perhaps? The investigation is underway). For now, let me bring it back to the video, where Jen tosses the remainder of the ingredients—old-fashioned oats, salt, and brown sugar—into the bowl while looking like a total … [Read more...] about Jennifer Garner’s Go-To Oatmeal Recipe Will Be Your New Favorite Breakfast
