    Ditto on the need for black pepper to enhance bioavailability of your tonic. As for peeling vs. not peeling. It would depend entirely on how you want to spend your time in the kitchen. Peeling is tiiiiime consuming as compared to a nice scrub. Also, I suspect (without actual fact) that there’s significant nutritional value in that endometrial layer. I like to add local honey (think antihistamines) as well as bridging two powerful taste sensations. Thank you for your every day enthusiasm. I know like everyone, that you can’t be that energetic every day but the joy you find in your home making pursuits is positively contagious. You’re willingness to share your messes and mistakes 100% endearing.
    I’m sure I’m your grandma’s age but our generation came along when Mom’s were abandoning the ways of their mothers in the name of modernity. So, I’ve learned a lot from you. Most importantly, to not be intimidated by any of these things.
    I’ve had lots of firsts at 77 years old. It’s fun to learn your whole life long!

    Funny story here: I got out all the ingredients to make the hot pockets. I had just stocked the cupboards and fridge and I was ready to go! Made the filling, instead of onion powder and garlic powder I use onion and garlic. Got the chicken cooked and dropped in the cream cheese and dashed to the garden for some chives. Everything was ready to go-until-I went to the fridge and discovered I bought cinnamon rolls instead of crescent rolls. I pondered for a moment and thought about pasta that you had mentioned and then it hit me, I had puff pastry in the freezer. Can I tell you that this went from a disaster to magnificent meal!! Brushed the tops with egg wash and the parm cheese! My family thinks I am a genius, hhahaha!!! Thanks for sharing Becky!

      I miss these kinds of classes. We had both family studies and design and technology in middle school that were mandatory. I remember in design and technology we did woodworking all 3 years, electricity, plumbing, metal work which both my sister and I made cookie sheets in the early mid 90s which my mum still has incredibly stained and etched from decades of cookies. Famimy studies we learned basic sewing, cooking, baking, parenting and nutrition. High school we had both just for grade 9 but family studies was then called parenting and was mostly book work from what I remember. Now I have 1 son who is graduating high school this spring and they've brought back a couple food courses thankfully. My 9th grader knows how to cook basic meals and grill under supervision, he just doesn't have enough confidence in himself yet.

    Becky, turn your microplane zester upside down, so you have the back of it facing up. Then drag the zester over the lemon. It is faster and more efficient. You can see all the zest and where you have already been on the lemon. Just tap the zester on a board to release the zest and to zest some more.

    We have a ginger raised bed.
    Whenever I need a piece of ginger, I dig down, snip off a piece, and put back in soil.
    It stays beautifully in the soil. It sprouts in the spring. We snip off some of the sprouts,to chop and ad to dishes. It has multiplied greatly, over the years. It just keeps on spreading.
    All I did in the beginning , years ago, was purchase a piece of organic ginger, from the grocery store, and dug it down in soil, laid it flat and covered it. It’s just wonderful, knowing I have ginger, whenever we need it.

So then You'd get powdered ginger and turmeric and freeze dried lemon powder to make Lemondade with! (Just add water and sugar 😋)

    I always chop up the extra parsley, for example, as you only ever need two tablespoons for a recipe and then the rest of the bunch of parsley can be completely redundant, and put it in ice cube trays with a dash of water (run on sentence or what?). Then I can pop the cube in stews or soups. I also do this with tomato paste. Again, most recipes require two tablespoons. So I measure out the two tablespoons, place them in ice cube trays and, once frozen, put them in freezer bags for future use. At which point I feel completely virtuous!

    I think the idea of freeze drying that liquid would work. Freezing it in ice cube trays,then pop frozen cubes in a plastic bag,would be a space saving way to store them. Just a thought I had is to add to some tea might be yummy😊 The chicken pockets look yummy too.

  • @carolinelawrenc95
    @carolinelawrenc95 Год назад +8

    Adding black pepper helps your body to absorb all the nutrients from the ginger tumeric and lemon. I add a whole unpeeled lemon to the juicer which extracts more of the nutrients . Sooo good for you! ❤

      I agree you need the black pepper to activate the turmeric.

    Hi! I was so glad to see you making these shots! I make a version of this as well. I mix fresh turmeric, ginger, pineapple, mandarin orange, and a little carrot. I also add a little fresh cracked pepper to activate the turmeric. I use a juicer, but definitely you can use a blender and nut bag. This concoction is SO delicious, and amazingly good for your body.
    I do not peel my ginger or turmeric. I do take all of the pulp I get from juicing and freeze it. I then add the frozen pulp to smoothies for a nice kick of flavor and nutrition! ❤

  • @waderue
    @waderue Год назад +2

    so looked for how to make shots and I found this as add on to help with more Ingredients And Substitutions:
    Oranges - oranges add sweetness and help balance the spiciness of the ginger. Any variety of orange works well in this recipe. I usually use an heirloom navel orange (when I can find them) or cara cara orange since these tend to be sweeter.
    Lemons - add brightness. You can also use limes!
    Ginger - fresh ginger adds mega health benefits. No need to peel it!
    Turmeric - fresh turmeric adds even more health benefits. No need to peel it!
    Black pepper - helps to activate the turmerics' health benefits. We only need a pinch, so you won't even taste it.
    Water - helps the blender get moving. You may need more or less depending on your blender. If you are using a juicer, omit it.

    @samanthanewton9741 Год назад +3

    I have been making ginger/turmeric/ lemon shots for a couple years now for me and husband and we LOVE them. We do add black pepper but just before we take the shot. They really do give you a boost of energy and kinda clear your mind (sounds crazy but they really do). I started making them with my Vitamix like you did here and quickly moved into an inexpensive juicer that I have been using now for 2 years and is still holding strong. I only pain $50 for it on Amazon. We sometimes get out of the habit of taking them ( that is where I am now) and this is a good reminder to start again so thank you :) They are in my freezer I just need to thaw.

    Becky,
    I look forward to all your adventures and the amazing tips from this amazing group of like-minded viewers. I took home ec in school and we were taught to make baked granola and we learned to sew an apron. It is so very needed these days. My sweet Grandma gifted me the same book she used in her home economics class in 1933. It is a true treasure these days as I learn to cook and try new projects around our little place. Bless you all!

    I do something similar with lemon, ginger in honey. Lasts a long time in the fridge. Use the entire lemon; seeds pith and all. All the quercetin is in the pith and seed. So I chop the entire lemon, chop a bunch of ginger, put in jar and cover with honey. Leave out on counter for two to three days then keep in the fridge. The honey thins out with the juices. Just take a table spoon full when dealing with cough, sore throat or the threat of exposure from someone else. So good!

    Last few years i have had daily organic ginger, lemon and tumeric shots. I juice the organic ginger and lemon, it is not easy to get fresh organic tumeric where i am so i buy either a high quality turmeric capsule (decanted into the shot) or liquid drops - these both come with the added pepper (plus a lot more nutrients (volume wise), I also add cayenne pepper & organic Ceylon cinnamon for additional health benefits. I dont add any extra water, so i store the mini jam jars (45ML). Spicy!

I want to grow more. Haven't gotten into herbs yet. I purchased some mini "green stalks"from Dollar tree. Not ready for the "big girls"(green stalks) yet. Hope to move this year to some place with more space to grow.

    I would dehydrate what is coming out of the nut bag. Those left over skins most likely would make a good powder for bake goods. To sprinkle some powder in a lemon cookie or in a smooth or the even make a tea.

  • @mimiashford5544

    Yes, black pepper is necessary to activate the beneficial properties of Turmeric. But in order to make it a little more palatable, you should add a few Tbs of honey just to get through that original batch. It can only help and won't diminish the health benefits at all. GREAT idea to make up these shots & freeze them ahead of time, Becky!

    A little tip to keep the parchment paper from sliding around the pan is to smear a small dab of butter on the pan before laying your parchment paper down. It's been a game changer for me. I used to get sooooo frustrated with the dang paper sliding around while a placed my food on it.

    I have a community cookbook that has something like your chicken crescent things. My cookbook calls them chicken squares. They're half the size, the recipe calls for taking one rectangle and folding it over rather then stacking 2, honestly a better size for my kids too. The recipe uses cream cheese, sour cream, and pimentos. Also salt, pepper, and garlic powder. The pimentos really make it in my mind. I don't like cooking them without it. It's a family favorite. Anytime I cook them I know my kids will be happy

    Pepperine (found in black pepper) makes the turmeric more bioavailable. Turmeric is not water soluble-oil is required for absorption into your body. To get the anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric, it must be taken with pepper and oil.

    Watching you scrub the ginger reminded me that my grandmother.....who canned most of the food for her family of 9....told me that she would take all the cukes she was planning on picking and running them through the rinse cycle without spinning in her washer. I did it and it worked great.

    Never heard of these shots. Love ginger and turmeric. Fresh turmeric I can get in local Asian stores. The only negative with turmeric is that it stains. Ginger I keep in a glass jar in the refrigerator. Cut it in 1 inch or so pieces then fill the jar with sherry. Keeps forever. If I run low on ginger I add more. The sherry is a great replacement for Chinese wine required in Chinese marinates. Thank you will need to try this
