When making spaghetti squash there are a few techniques to consider. Your goal is to have slightly al dente strands of spaghetti squash and to avoid making it mushy.
Cutting the squash is half the adventure. It’s very firm before it’s cooked, so to make it easier to cut you have two options.

How you cut it is entirely up to you. If ther ..read more

When you want a smoothie first thing in the morning or after a workout, this is the creamiest, plant-based, dairy-free, egg-free smoothie, and it’s so easy to whip up.

Tender, falling-off-the-bone chicken is one of the best kinds of chicken, in my opinion. The best way to get there is by slow roasting a chicken on a rotisserie (like a store-bought roasted chicken) or slow cooking it in a slow cooker.
Before I had my Instant Pot I had a slow cooker that I used to make this recipe. You can cook the chicken really slowly for about 8 to 10 hours, or shorten the time to 4 to 6 hours. You can also slow cook in your Instant Pot or any other slow cooker or pressure cooker that has the slow cook setting.
To be honest I rarely eat chicken but I’ve been testing recipes ..read more
