Yield

Approximately 2 servings

Preparation Time

10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 5 medium carrots

  • 8 celery ribs

  • 1 medium cucumber

  • 1 beetroot

  • ¼ lemon (peeled)

  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger

Instructions

1. Wash and Prepare the Vegetables

Rinse the carrots, celery, and cucumber thoroughly under running water to remove dirt.

Scrub the beetroot well. You may leave the skin on if it is clean, or peel it for a milder taste.

Peel the ginger using the edge of a spoon.

Remove the outer yellow peel from the lemon and keep the inner white portion.

2. Cut for Juicing

Cut the carrots, celery, and cucumber into pieces that fit easily into your juicer.

Cut the beetroot into smaller chunks to help it process smoothly.

3. Juice the Ingredients

Turn on the juicer and feed the ingredients through gradually.

4. Mix and Serve

Stir the juice well to combine all flavors evenly.

Classic Homemade Fluffy Doughnuts

by

Classic Homemade Fluffy Doughnuts

Soft, light doughnuts with a tender interior and a lightly crisp exterior. These are made with simple pantry ingredients and are best enjoyed fresh.

Yield

12–15 doughnuts

Time

  • Preparation: 20 minutes

  • Rising: 1½ hours

  • Cooking: 15 minutes

Ingredients

Dough

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup whole milk, warm (not hot)

  • 7 g active dry yeast

  • 5 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 large egg, room temperature

  • ½ teaspoon salt

Frying and Coating

  • Vegetable oil, for frying

  • Granulated sugar or powdered sugar, for coating

Instructions

1. Prepare the Yeast

Pour the warm milk into a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of the sugar and stir to dissolve. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk and stir gently. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes until the mixture looks foamy. This shows the yeast is ready.

2. Mix the Dough

In a large bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center. Add the egg, softened butter, and the yeast mixture. Stir with a spoon until a soft, rough dough forms.

3. Knead the Dough

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface.

  • Knead by hand for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic

  • Or knead with a mixer and dough hook for about 5 minutes

The dough should feel soft and slightly tacky but not sticky.

4. First Rise

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

5. Shape the Doughnuts

Gently press the dough to release air. Roll it out to about ½-inch thickness on a floured surface.

Cut doughnut shapes using a cutter or a large glass with a smaller cutter for the center. Place each doughnut on a small piece of parchment paper. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

6. Fry the Doughnuts

Heat about 2 inches of oil in a heavy pot to 350°F (175°C).

Carefully lower the doughnuts into the oil. Remove the parchment paper once it releases.

Fry for 1–2 minutes per side until evenly golden.

Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.

7. Coat and Serve

While still warm, roll the doughnuts in granulated sugar or dust with powdered sugar.

Serve fresh.

Helpful Notes

  • Keep oil temperature steady for even cooking

  • Do not overcrowd the pot

  • Best enjoyed the same day

Oven-Baked Garlic Herb Chicken & Vegetables

by

Oven-Baked Garlic Herb Chicken & Vegetables

Prep time: 15 mins | Cook time: 30-35 mins | Serves: 4

Ingredients

The Base:

  • Chicken: 1.5 lbs (approx. 3 large) boneless, skinless chicken breasts.

  • Potatoes: 1 lb baby gold potatoes, quartered.

  • Green Beans: 1/2 lb fresh green beans, trimmed.

  • Garnish: Fresh parsley or chives, chopped.

The Garlic Herb Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 3 tbsp melted butter

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 1 tsp dried thyme

  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (for that golden color)

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • Optional: Red pepper flakes (for the red bits seen in the photo)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Oven and Pan:

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large 9×13 inch glass baking dish or a rimmed sheet pan.

  2. Season the Vegetables:

    Place the quartered potatoes and trimmed green beans in the baking dish. Drizzle with half of the Garlic Herb Sauce. Toss well to ensure they are evenly coated, then push the vegetables to the sides to make room for the chicken in the center.

  3. Prepare the Chicken:

    Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Place them in the center of the dish. Brush the remaining Garlic Herb Sauce generously over the chicken.

    Tip: For the look in the photo, you can pre-slice the chicken halfway through (hassleback style) or slice them fully after cooking. Slicing after cooking keeps them juicier!

  4. Bake:

    Place the dish in the oven. Roast for 25–30 minutes.

    • Check for doneness: The chicken is safe when it reaches an internal temperature of $165^\circ\text{F}$ ($74^\circ\text{C}$).

    • Check the potatoes: They should be fork-tender and slightly browned.

  5. Finish and Serve:

    Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes (this keeps it moist). If you didn’t slice it before, slice it now. Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.

Tips for Success

  • Even Cooking: If your potatoes are large, start them in the oven 10 minutes before adding the chicken and green beans so everything finishes at the same time.

  • Crispy Texture: If you prefer crispier potatoes, use a large metal sheet pan instead of a glass dish; metal conducts heat faster for better browning.
