Fryer Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I was craving something sweet earlier that wasn't calorie dense. I decided to get a cup of milk, mix it with some Nesquik and instant coffee powder, and blend it with a crap ton of ice (two glass fuls). Don't know what I was thinking when I made it, but it was delicious and it reminded me a lot of those fraps people get at Starbucks. What I made filled up several glasses and I drank it all, not feeling guilty since I was pretty much consuming ice. Anyone got any "food hack" recipes they came up by themselves? I have absolutely no reason to go back to Starbucks at this point; what I made was healthier due to being more filling and having less sugar and calories while being far more cheaper.

Wist Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Usually when I experiment in the kitchen the results are horrifying. But sometimes I'm lucky and hit on something worth making again. There was a year when I had kimchi on cheese and crackers (with or without salami) perhaps twice a week. I discovered it after I tried making kimchi and overdid the spice. I wanted a way to temper the heat so I wouldn't have to throw it out. Turns out a slice of cheddar cheese does the job perfectly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricaofRenais Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I make a quick pasta sauce with crushed whole tomatoes, whatever leftover meat I have, some onion, some garlic, some olive oil and whatever spices suit my taste that day. I don't like store bought tomato sauce, but I like this sauce a lot and it tastes really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
