From hoisin to teriyaki, these easy swaps will save your dinner. Keep in mind that nothing is going to be precisely the same. But if you’ve run out or just feel like a change, these oyster sauce alternatives should do the trick. That said, depending on the recipe, some of these swaps may not work. For example, soy sauce doesn’t have the same thick consistency. So, you might need to experiment to get just the right results....

If you’re the same, I have good news for you!...
Waffles are beautifully golden and crisp on the outside, super soft and fluffy on the inside, and rich and creamy all over. What a perfect way to start the day.

That’s what the Aunt Jemima mix is for!...

Baked Shrimp (Prawns) When you bake shrimp in the oven, you simply can’t achieve that same caramelisation that you get from searing prawns on the stove or grill, which means less flavour. And frankly, shrimp is pricey compared to other day-to-day proteins. So when I cook it, I’m not going to compromise! So here are the two things in this recipe that adds an extra edge to compensation for loss of flavour because we can’t caramelise shrimp in the oven:...

Preparation Most of us turn to close friends and family to talk about what’s on our minds, but according to new research, connecting with strangers can be extremely meaningful, too. A recent study published by the American Psychological Association noted that people often engage only in small talk with strangers; this makes sense since it’s hard to know if they’ll have an interest in your life or if the conversation will just seem awkward, but we shouldn’t shy away from deeper chats, the researchers explain....

This post is part of a series of meals made using Easy Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas (Mexican Pulled Pork) that I posted last week. It freezes so well and defrosts quickly, making it great to have on hand for fast meals – like Enchiladas. However this recipe can be made using any pre cooked meat – shredded chicken in particular would be fantastic. It takes a mere 15 minutes to assemble (if that), then just pop it into the oven....
It’s an easy way to breathe new life into the sad and stale snack. As ridiculously addictive as French fries are, we all know they lose their luster after a couple of hours. Even if you try to reheat them in the microwave or oven, they’re just not the same anymore. I’d get disheartened whenever I had to toss out leftover fries. For the longest time, I didn’t think there was a fix....
