The Chopping Block: Buckwheat flour Vs. Gluten-free All-purpose flour

  Welcome to: Living Better Cafe, post called: The Chopping Block. The Chopping Block will give you, the history behind two similar products, one that not so healthy, and one that is healthier for you.

  We all have that one story to share, about Grandma baking in the kitchen. Especially, when you know she's making, your favorite bake good. And you prepare yourself to: help grandma with baking. Like, cleaning out the mixing bowl with your fingers. So, once you're done with helping, you can gather around the table to enjoy it.

  

Today Living Better Cafe, bring you the scoop on: Buckwheat flour and all-purpose gluten-free flour.

  

 What's all the sifting about? All flours are not the same and, there is a difference in texture and taste as well. Especially, when it comes to Gluten--free flour. Since we are on the gluten-free van wagon, let's talk about the difference between buckwheat and all-purpose gluten-free flour.

  

Buckwheat flour has a nutty texture and it includes your essential amino acids and it's quite versatile. What is buckwheat? A fruit that's related closely to wild Rhubarb. And it's sometimes called Pseudo cereal, quite interesting hey, you say? Exactly! Living Better Cafe got confused as well. But, we have it all figured out, and you will also. What type of nutrients are found in buckwheat? Antioxidants--- like Rutin, Tannins and Catechin. In fact buckwheat considered a super food. And the major benefits of this particular super food is that it has amino acids, which helps lower cholesterol, and helps improve digestion, like constipation.

  

  Let's keep calm when you read; All purpose gluten--free flour...it not like all-purpose wheat flour because it does not content any source of wheat. Plus, the texture is different. What's gluten--free all-purpose flour made of? The ingredients in making all-purpose gluten-free flour varies...once again it's not wheat. So, what's the benefits? with each ingredient  there are different benefits. For instance, brown rice flour, helps lower blood sugar levels, reduce body weight and protect against heart disease. Therefore, it all falls back on what it's made from.

  

Living Better Cafe says, the verdict  been reached and, which Gluten-free flour, do we use in the kitchen? We use different varieties...we know each flour has different benefits. So, there was no bad food in this case.

   Happy Journey To Living Better 🍵

The Chopping block: Sea salt vs. Himalayan salt

Welcome to: Living Better Cafe, new post called: the chopping block. The chopping block will give you, the history behind two similar products, one that's not so healthy, and one that is healthier for you. 

  What's the difference between Sea Salt and Himalayan salt? The differences between Sea salt and Himalayan salt is the taste, texture and how it's processed.

  Sea salt is produce from evaporation of the ocean water or lakes, and with little process. Depending on the water source, this leaves behind certain traces of minerals and elements. Why does it leave traces of minerals? Minerals add flavor and color to Sea salt, which comes in different varieties of coarseness levels.

  Himalayan salt, however, comes from rock crystals of salt that been mined from different locations, and mainly from the Himalayan, often from Pakistan. What's with the color of Himalayan salt? Its hue from trace minerals found in the salt, like magnesium, potassium and calcium.

 Living Better Cafe, is now here to give you, both sides of: Sea salt and Himalayan salt, it's time to lay out the side effects. We get that salt is salt, regardless of the different types. But, they all have one thing in common, Sodium Chloride, and that's we're the side effects come in... the electrolyte imbalance, which are the ions that live in our bodily fluids that keeps us fueled, and make sure our bodies, are properly functioning. For instance, nerve impulses and heart beat.

When consuming too much sodium, causes potassium levels to drop and so forth.

   

  Which one is better for you? Himalayan salt without a doubt... Himalayan salt has more beneficial minerals than Sea salt. Your container of Sea salt, has 72 particles, and Himalayan salt has 84 essential element that: your body needs. But, don't be so quick to jump, for any Himalayan salt... not all Himalayan salt is the real deal. What? There are some, Himalayan salt, imposters. And to tell if your Himalayan salt is real, Pakistan right on the pack.

Now let's get to the coloring of this salt, Himalayan salt comes in: various colors from White to Pink. However, to spot out the imposters, they have added food dye. Not saying that: Black Himalayan salt doesn't exist, it does, just be aware of the labels... If Pakistan is not on there, you have burned fuel.

  Therefore, can you see the difference between the two? Living Better Cafe, hope you have  chosen to live Better.

Avocados are the native fruit to the Northern parts of Mexico, and South central America. All the way into the western south america. And into the south of Andean Peru.

1. Remove and clean the seed: You'll need to start by removing the pit from the avocado carefully (making sure you do not cut into it), and then wash it with soap and water. ( while the seed is still wet remove the outer darker skin, by peeling it off.)

2. Figuring the top from the bottom: like when Living Better Cafe explained in the history that, some avocados varies in size. So, that will also sometime make figuring where the top and bottom is located. So, when it comes to finding the top from the bottom, The top is pointer, and the bottom is flat. Once you have gotten that all figured out, it's time to find tooth picks, or in the picture, Katrina had use paper clips, which will work fine to.

3. Push three or four tooth picks in the widest part of, the avocado so it can have some room to suspend the pit over a glass of water with the pointy side sticking up. The water should cover about an inch of the seed.

4. Temperature: Place the glass in a warm place, and make sure the water stays leveled.

5. Surprise: Within 2-6 weeks you will begin to see roots and stems, coming from the seeds. when the stem reaches six inches long, you will need to trim it in half.

6. It's a....? : When the stem starts to grow leaves, its time to transport the seed in to a pot with loose, and gritty soil. You will need to plant the seedling root down, leaving the top half of the seed sticking out of the soil.

7. Attention, Attention: You will need to give your plant, plenty of water and keep in a very sunny spot, to help it to grow.

8. Assist, Assist: Every time the stem grows another six inches, you will need to pinch back the newest leaves. So, you can encourage for more leaves to grow and your avocado to become a fuller plant.

Climate: When it comes to temperature, you are going to want to pay close attention to because In most regions, avocado plants adore summer like temperatures. So, it will need to stay in a warm climate that does not witness temperatures less than 45 degrees.

So, say Adios to Hydrogenated oils which are no good for you, and Hola to Healthy and flavorful oils that’s good for you.

Makes: 17 FL Ounce

Garlic Tomato Basil Cooking Oil

What you’re going to need:

1 17 FL Ounce Extra Virgin Olive Oil (E.V.O.O)
1-2 Bubs of Garlic, Peeled
Sun-dried cherry tomatoes
Fresh Basil



Direction:

1. Peel both blubs of Garlic, and add the Basil and sun-dried cherry tomatoes, to the Olive oil.
2. Place the lid on the Olive oil and give it a good shake, then store in a cool dry dark place, for 1-2 weeks before using it. *Highly recommend storing it in your refrigerator*

Step 4 is optional. But, I would highly recommend that you don’t skip this step.

3. After one to two-week are up, strain the oil into a different bottle with an easy pouring spout or just place into a spray bottle and your set to go. (before taking this step, you want to give a taste test to make sure the flavors have infused together.)

4. When it comes to placing food into your body, we need to place very close attention to what we consume and how much. So, what comes to mind when you think about food left out in opened spaces, whether it be in a can or in a jar? Botulism! So, now you will see why Living Better Café and Katrina Smith highly recommend that you don’t skip this step.

Living Better Café corner:
When it comes to making food in general, you want to make sure that, you don’t give space or air for “Botulism” this nasty little bugger to grow. And then later cause you more problem down the line, which later makes you and everyone else you have prepared this recipe for “SICK”. So, it’s best to refrigerate the oil, it will last in your refrigerator for a month. If the ingredient begins to discolor, discard the oil immediately because of this nasty little bugger has started to grow.

Living Better Cafe is going to frugal city. Who's coming along? I know a person who is, and her name is Katrina Smith.

1. Let's start reviewing our refrigerator, for food that already there, and no on the bad food (You are going to want to toss that out, to Oscar the Grouch). When you see leftover you can always turn them into a different meal. Simply by adding them into something you already have within your pantry. for example, Cream of Broccoli soup can be reheated up, and toss over some pasta. Now just keep in mind that your leftover do need to be eaten up, and you for sure do not want to let Oscar have them.

2. Let's save on money by, opting out soda pop for a more better drinking beverage.What might that be? H2O. Yes water is more healthier for you then drinking over millions of sugar molecules. Especially, if your on a low sugar diet, or your diabetic. Water is better to drink at room temperature because it the same temperature of your insides.Why how do I know that? My sister who is a Women Health coach told me so.

3. Cooking food at a much slower pace. What you said? it's time to wipe out the slow cooker. this is where you plan ahead the day before. Like, for tomorrow's meal's (I will have oxtail soup, or clam chowder) whatever sparks your taste buds. just go for it.

4. Don't let food overhaul become a kitchen nightmare. If you start see your refrigerator becoming a more of food storage unit, and no one is bothering with the lasts nights dinner. Why not place it into freezer bag's and store them in the freezer. The best meals that are super great for the freezer is, Soup's, casserole's and why not chili. Why there are more freezer friendly foods. Living Better Cafe is just helping you out with just some.

5. Seasonal eating, Yes only buying things that are within that season will cut down on your grocery receipt. So why not shop for thing's that are in season. You will be so glad you did.

I Katrina Smith hope you have enjoyed these tip's here, and apply them to your everyday lifestyle because it will help you save more money. Do continue to stick around and make Living Better Cafe your place for inexpensive savings.
