He Sticks A Skewer Into This Potato. The Reason Is Brilliant!

For a new spin on the usual, tired, old potato check out this easy recipe! It’s an awesome and healthy way to whip up a batch of homemade spiral cut potatoes on a stick. The simple recipe is all-natural and all you really need are a few potatoes and some skewers. Plus, it’s healthy because they’re oven-baked rather than deep fried. Everyone’s favorite, YouTube’s go-to-guy DaveHax, shows how to make them in this quick and easy to follow video. Seriously, these crispy potato spirals are unbelievably delicious and make the perfect side to any dish.

Keep reading for instructions on how to make them and watch the video for more! First and foremost, scrub and clean up a few potatoes and then dry them off with a paper towel. Take a wooden skewer and stick it through the potato the long way, so that it goes in one end, up thru the center of the potato and out the other end.

Place it securely on a chopping board and with a sharp knife carefully slice into it at a slight angle. Cut only so deep that you end up hitting the stick. Now slowly start to rotate the potato while simultaneously cutting it to make a spiral-shaped cut the whole way down the spud.

When you’re done cutting, carefully fan out the pieces of potato along the stick so that they’re slightly separated. Place them on an oven sheet and season with salt, pepper, olive oil, or whatever other flavors you’d like. (I made some lemon-pepper and rosemary seasoned ones that came out tasting amazing!). Now they’re ready for the oven.

The cook times will vary depending on the size of the potatoes you use and the thickness of the slices. The ones DaveHax made in the video were with thin cuts on smaller potatoes and they only took about 25 minutes at 320 degrees to fully cook.

When the potato chips are fully cooked and done they should have golden brown edges and are ready to be served. These look and taste delicious, and are a much healthier alternative to deep fried or store bought potato ships. Bon Appétit!

She Cracks 2 Eggs Into This Potato. But When She’s Done My Mouth Won’t Stop Watering!

For ages it’s been known that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, yet many people will just grab a cereal bar or skip it all together. If you want to stay healthy and have energy that lasts throughout the day then you have to take the time to eat a wholesome breakfast. This can be tricky and a lot of people claim that they just don’t have the time or motivation to make a tasty meal first thing in the morning. Perhaps part of the reason for these excuses is that many people are simply sick and tired of the same old breakfast foods that they’ve eaten over and over again, countless amounts of times.

This recipe offers a new spin on the usual, tired, old, boring potato and egg dishes, so check it out! It’s a refreshing way to cook up a whole meal right inside of a homemade baked potato. You’ll get a serving of eggs, bacon and potatoes with this version of the recipe but feel free to get creative and add in other ingredients like ham, sausage, peppers, veggies, etc.

These loaded breakfast-potato-egg-bacon-and-cheese bowls are unbelievably delicious and make the perfect addition to any brunch or boring morning routine. Keep reading for instructions on how to make them and watch the video for more information.

Ingredients: (Serves 2)

– 3 large baked potatoes – 3 eggs – 3 strips of bacon – cooked 3 tablespoons of cheddar cheese – shredded 1 tablespoon of parsley -freshly chopped butter salt and pepper, your call!

Directions: Start by baking the potatoes, or you can bake them ahead of time to make this quicker. Once they’ve cooled off lay them on their sides and, cutting lengthwise, slice off about 1/3. Hollow out the larger 2/3 side with a spoon and form a nice little bowl. Be careful here and avoid digging out too much potato or making any holes in the skin. You want to leave enough potato all around the sides and edges so that it remains stable and can stand upright without flopping over.

Place about a one-half tablespoon of butter into the middle of each potato and follow that up a cracked egg as well. Sprinkle over the cheese and crumble a bacon strip atop each one, before finishing them off with the parsley and a dash of salt and pepper. Place the potato bowls in a 350 degree heated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Allow them to sit and cool a few minutes, they will be super hot, and then serve and enjoy.

These look and taste delicious and are not that difficult to make. Try them out and see for yourself how delicious a simple, homemade breakfast can actually be. Bon Appétit!

In one study 24 healthy subjects were given 1.2 grams of ginger powder prior to eating; their STOMACH EMPTYING WAS ACCELERATED by 50%, which showed a significant impact on relieving the discomfort of indigestion.

Experiencing NAUSEA is one of the worst feelings, which GINGER TEA can alleviate.  It works well with cancer patients who experience nausea from treatment.  A review of twelve studies of 1,278 pregnant women who had morning sickness and were administered 1.1-1.5 grams of ginger, experienced a SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION OF NAUSEA.

Studies have shown that Ginger has a significant impact on the REDUCTION of MUSCLE PAIN.  Research at the University of Georgia found that daily use of ginger yielded 25% less muscle pain, and was also effective in minimizing the day-to-day progression of muscle pain.  MENSTRUAL CRAMP REDUCTION is another benefit of ingesting ginger.

A study of 247 people with OSTEOARTHRITIS of the KNEE found a significant decrease in pain when taking a daily supplement of ginger extract.   Joint pain and stiffness is one of the most debilitating aspects of aging.  The ANTI-INFLAMMATORY properties of ginger will allow people to take less pain medications, which have many negative side effects.

She Starts Pressing Store-Bought Dough Inside Her Crock Pot. The End Result YUM!

The cheesy, meaty, saucy and all around appetizing smell of fresh hot pizza is an aroma that a rare few can resist. The mouth watering dish is beloved by people of all ages. Even the ninja turtles and animals, like the infamous pizza rat, love scarfing down a slice! If you also happen to love sinking your teeth into some crispy, delicious, homemade pizza, then you have to try this recipe for crock pot pizza.

As strange as it may sound, you can bake stuff in a slow cooker and achieve many different types of food textures, from crunchy to moist. It’s often assumed that crock pots are just for whipping up soups, sauces, meats, stews, or other liquid-based recipes.

That’s simply not true and this yummy pizza recipe is a case in point. It cooks a lot quicker than the average slow cooker recipe and once you throw all the ingredients together it’ll be done and ready to serve within an hour or so.

A list of all the ingredients you need, plus recipe instructions, are below and definitely check out the accompanying video from the YouTube channel averagebetty. It’s an excellent tutorial put together by Sara O’Donnell where she shows us step by step exactly how to make a crock pot pizza.

She made a standard pepperoni pizza but you can customize the ingredients any way you’d like to fit your tastes. Most of what you need comes prepared, so it’s incredibly simple and convenient because you just have to combine your favorite types of foods!

Ingredients: – Pizza dough – prepared or store bought – Pizza sauce – Shredded cheese – keep it simple with mozzarella or try a different kind – Toppings – any that you like!

Directions: Start by oiling the base of the crock pot and line it with a few strips of parchment paper that crisscross and overlap each other at the center. You should end up crafting them into a sling and this step will make removing the pizza later on a whole lot easier.

Lightly sprinkle a tiny bit of either cornmeal or flour onto the the bottom of the slow cooker. Next, take the pizza dough and press it down firmly and evenly along the bottom of the pot. Form and shape a crust around the edges and make sure to trim and remove any excess dough you may end up with.

Now it’s time to add on the pizza sauce, spread as little or as much as you’d like on the dough. Follow that up with a layer of cheese and then add the toppings. Place the lid on before cooking it on high for 1½ hours. Finally, lift it out of the pot using the parchment sling you made earlier.

Cook times will vary depending on the types and amounts of toppings you used. You may have to cook it a little longer if you chose to load your pizza, so keep that in mind. Also, after about an hour condensation will likely appear on the inside of the lid and if you don’t remove it your pizza may end up soft or mushy.

Simply wipe it off with a paper towel and replace the now dry lid back on, then cook for the remaining half hour. Now all that’s left to do is to slice up the pie, eat, and enjoy the homemade deliciousness. Pass this recipe along and share it with friends and family, it’ll add a little more flavor and convenience to their lives. Bon Appétit!

Apparently I’ve Been Cooking Sweet Potatoes Wrong For My Whole Life. I’m So Glad I Learned THIS

Potatoes are among the most popular and versatile food items that are readily available at any local grocery store. There are many different types grown throughout the world, but one of the tastiest and most healthy varieties is the sweet potato. Sweet potatoes are exactly as their name implies; sweet.

The orange fleshed root vegetables are considered a superfood because they contain a lot of vitamins and nutrients, such as vitamins A, C, E, and B-6, as well as beta carotene, fiber, potassium, iron, manganese, and copper. The antioxidants found in them can help prevent cancer and heart disease, strengthen your immune system, and even slow aging. Plus, they’re fat free and cholesterol free! A simple sweet potato can be transformed and prepared in many different ways.

They can be served hot or cold and people love them mashed, baked, fried, hashed, steamed, juiced and more. Their only downside seems to be that it often takes a long time to thoroughly cook them. One of the easiest, most basic ways to cook any type of potato is by poking a few holes in the skin and tossing it in the microwave.

Press the preset “Potato” button and minutes later it’s done. While that’s the fastest way to cook them, it’s definitely not the tastiest. Oftentimes the skin and flesh gets rubbery or becomes kind of mealy and it’s just not the same as a slowly cooked, oven baked potato.

Instead of zapping them, try cooking a bunch of them at once in a slow cooker. In the end it’s just as easy as microwaving, but the potatoes will turn out much more delicious. JoAnn Rachor shows how it’s done in this easy to follow video she posted to her YouTube channel.

Start by washing a few sweet potatoes, making sure to scrub the skins well. There is no need to poke them with a fork for this recipe, just trim off any bad spots and then toss into a crock pot with a little water. In the video they used about ½ cup of water for 3 large sweet potatoes, if you cook a larger batch simply adjust the water amount up to about ¾ of a cup.

This doesn’t require a lot of water, just enough to steam and help cook them. Cook on high for about 2-2 ½ hours for a small batch and 3-3 ½ for a larger amount. While they’re cooking you’re free to go about your day and when you get back the potatoes will be done.

The insides will be evenly cooked, fluffy, and tender, while the outside remains firm. You can eat them right away since they’ll be warm and ready, or you can use them in another recipe that calls for cooked sweet potatoes. Try this practically effortless slow cooking method the next time you plan on having sweet potatoes for dinner.

Plus, if you need to shave minutes off a dinner prep time, cook them ahead of schedule and free up a lot of time and valuable oven space.
