Ever wonder what would happen if you gave your kids the credit card and sent them to the grocery store? Here's some things that my kids would definately buy.

When I lived in New York City, I was an intern and on an intern salary. Which, for New York living, wasn't very much. I relied on the cheap spots around the city to survive, and they turned into some of my favourite restaurants. These are places I still visit time and time again when I'm in NYC.

I am a major foodie and thankfully so are many of my friends. We go on food adventures a lot and so this list is to share my favorite food finds with you across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

I believe that good food solves everything so here’s a list of all my favorite eateries in Utah county😋 Plz enjoy 😉

I picked up my love of cooking from my grandparents, one on either side of the family. My mother's mother always had the ingredients on hand for a cake or a fresh batch of dinner rolls, and it didn't take much to convince her to bust them out. My father's father, on the other hand, was a man who lived to feed his community. He grew up during the Depression, and nothing gave him more joy than laying out a giant table of food and sitting back to watch his loved ones eat. I learned the joy of good food from both of them.

These recipes are what I've found to be the most delicious, easy to follow and healthy. If a recipe calls for something unhealthy I substitute it. I'll list a few common ones. Margarine? Use butter. Sugar? Use raw honey. Table salt? Use sea salt. Etc.

Rendang is a rich, flavorful Indonesian dish known for its tender beef cooked in a mixture of spices and coconut milk. It’s a beloved dish in Indonesia and around the world. Below is a friendly step-by-step guide to help you prepare this delicious meal right in your kitchen! Steps to Cook Authentic Indonesian Rendang: 1. Prepare the Ingredients Begin by preparing your ingredients. Slice the beef into bite-sized cubes. Peel and chop the shallots, garlic, and ginger. Cut the lemongrass into pieces and bruise it with the back of your knife to release its flavor. Slice the kaffir lime leaves and set all ingredients aside. 2. Blend the Spices In a blender or food processor, combine the shallots, garlic, ginger, turmeric, chili peppers, and a small amount of water to create a smooth spice paste. This paste will form the base of your rendang sauce. 3. Cook the Spice Paste In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the spice paste to the pot and sauté it for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes fragrant and slightly caramelized. 4. Add the Beef Once the spice paste is ready, add the beef cubes to the pot. Stir well, ensuring each piece of beef is coated with the spice mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the beef is browned on all sides. 5. Add the Coconut Milk and Aromatics Pour in the coconut milk and add the lemongrass, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and kaffir lime leaves. Stir everything together, ensuring the beef is submerged in the liquid. Add a pinch of salt and the tamarind paste for an extra layer of flavor. 6. Simmer the Rendang Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook, uncovered, for about 2-3 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom. The beef will become tender, and the sauce will gradually thicken as it reduces. 7. Adjust Seasoning After a few hours, taste the rendang and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, sugar, or tamarind for a balanced flavor. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little water or more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency. 8. Final Reduction Continue simmering until the sauce has thickened into a rich, dark brown color and the oil begins to separate from the sauce. This indicates that the rendang is ready. The beef should be tender and the flavors should be deep and well-integrated. 9. Serve and Enjoy Remove the rendang from the heat and discard the lemongrass, cinnamon stick, and cardamom pods. Serve your rendang with steamed rice or traditional Indonesian side dishes. Enjoy this rich, flavorful dish!
