I’ve been cooking at home more often and I wanted to know one thing like if there’s one ingredient you always keep in your kitchen because it noticeably improves almost any dish. I’m not asking for anything too fancy, just something that makes a real difference.

My dilemma is:

Ive been a big fan of rice pudding recently, but it’s not very nutritious. So I’ve been adding fruits, eggs, and more recently, blended chia seeds (not a fan of the texture if I don’t blend).

However, I know people say you NEED to soak chia seeds first. Therefore, should I be soaking first and THEN blending them? Or is it fine to just blend straight up and mix it in?

What are your sneakiest tricks of hiding fruits and vegetables in your child’s food? My 12 yo is quite picky and wouldn’t eat a fruit or veg to save her life unless it’s tomato sauce.

I want to desperately enjoy sushi however due to my location I am restricted to grocery store sushi. Please can someone point me in the right direction to a style I might would like. I do not like sweet flavors in my sushi and i think that’s my problems. Can anyone refer me to a simple sushi style/flavor that’s on the savory side?
