YouTube Version  Listen to the podcast here   How I Make Vegan Gluten-Free Bread at Home With a Bread Machine By Paul Perez I enjoy making fresh bread at home. Lately, I’ve been baking a  vegan, gluten-free loaf  with a bread machine, and it’s surprisingly simple. My bread machine is the  Cuisinart CBK-110 Bread Maker, which makes small, warm loaves with minimal effort. Just  add ingredients, choose the program, and the machine handles everything. The gluten-free recipe takes about 2  hours and 15 minutes , giving me fresh, homemade bread. Why I Make Vegan, Gluten-Free Bread My diet is primarily  vegan , at least in terms of the foods I eat. I follow this diet mainly for  health and longevity , not necessarily for lifestyle reasons like clothing or other products. I also try to eat  gluten-free foods  whenever possible. I don’t have celiac disease or a gluten intolerance, but I’ve noticed that avoiding gluten hel...

  Turning Apple Cores into Homemade Dehydrated Apple Crackers (There are two affiliate links in this article) I eat apples all the time, and I’ve gotten into the habit of saving the cores instead of tossing them. It started as a simple “waste less” idea, and it turned into one of my favorite homemade snacks. Here’s how I turn leftover apple cores into chewy, naturally sweet dehydrated apple crackers. Why I Save My Apple Cores Whenever I eat apples, I set the cores aside and store them in the freezer. Once I’ve collected enough — usually a couple of sandwich bags full — I turn them into something completely different.   It’s an easy way to get more value out of a bag of apples and reduce food waste at the same time. Quick note:  Apple seeds do contain compounds that can release small amounts of cyanide when crushed. A few seeds blended into a big batch like this isn’t typically a concern for most people, but if you prefer to be cautious, you can remove the seeds before pro...

  YouTube Video I got hurt late last year and was out of work for 3 months.  During this period, I got to dig into interests I didn’t have time for due to work and my social life.  Baking is one of those interests, and I wanted a type of cookie that didn’t raise my blood sugar and had fiber/protein to combat the sugar spike. These cookies are vegan and have no oil.  They can be made gluten-free, but they weren’t in this recipe.  However, as I did in this video, other healthy additions such as psyllium husk, wheat germ, and flaxseed meal can be added.  Why no oil?  Why vegan? I did so to avoid including any cholesterol or excess fat in the cookies. The measurements for the ingredients in the video are not set in stone and can be used as a guide. Will you try this recipe? Any thoughts, comments, or do so below.

YouTube video I discovered food dehydration when I moved into my first apartment years ago. This method of food prep was one of the many things I was excited to try with this newfound freedom of living alone. Kayaking, buying a solar panel for my window, and building a bicycle trailer were several other goals at the time. Why dehydration? It's a method of preserving food so it does not go bad in the fridge, and helps save money.  During that time I'd come to use two different dehydrators, but I wasn't crazy about them. Once, I tried making jerky in an Excalibur machine and got sick. My fault, no doubt. I gave the appliance to a friend thereafter. The second Nesco dehydrator worked fine, but I found it took up too much space and wasn't using it much, so I sold it on eBay. This happened 10-15 years ago. The interest popped up again in 2024.   This time, I bought a nicer dehydrator. Since then, it's been getting plenty of use.   I dehydrate lots of kale. I mix it with ...
