Carrot Cupcakes

 Carrot   Cupcakes Everyone seems to love Carrot Cake,  what I also like about them is how wonderfully moist they are and how flavorful they taste. I love this Carrot Cupcake recipe because it's so easy to make. No mixer is required. The time consuming part is the grating of the fresh carrots. I have included applesauce in the cupcake batter which, along with the oil, makes these cupcakes so moist. But, if you like, you could use an equal amount of grated apple or even crushed pineapple. You can also add 1/2 cup (120 ml) of currants or raisins to the batter. Carrot Cakes became popular with the health food craze of the 1970s. There are many theories on the origin of this cake, some say it descended from the English's baked carrot puddings or European steamed carrot puddings. Others say it may have come from German carrot breads. Carrots were used in European sweet cakes since the Middle Ages when other sweeteners were hard to find or just too expensive. In fact, carr...

Turkish Coffee

Turkish Coffee

 Turkish coffee is more of a brewing method than anything else. In theory any coffee will work for Turkish coffee, but the best to use is very finely ground (think espresso) Arabica beans.

It’s coffee made with a small amount of water and a high amount of coffee, par-boiled for a few seconds, and then left to sit for a couple of minutes before serving.

This is the kind of coffee that is best appreciated by those who are okay with black coffee, since this is a very string coffee, and a little on the thicker side.

It’s got plenty of coffee grounds on the bottom of the cups, and is not usually served with any milk or creamer.

Of course, there are traditions and traditions when it comes to Turkish coffee. It has one such tradition where the coffee is prepared via hot sand, and that’s got to be one of the most charming ways to make coffee.

One of the most important elements of Turkish coffee is the ibric, or small saucepan the coffee is made in.

This is how the ibric got its specific wide, flat bottom, with the outer curve. It’s meant to catch most of the coffee grounds when you’re serving the coffee.

If you have no ibric, the end result will be similar but definitely lacking in authenticity. And you’ll get way more coffee dust at the bottom of your cup.

It’s heavy, thick, stamped copper, which means it will both look beautiful and heat evenly when you set it on the stove.

Never boil the coffee until you’ve got no foam left. That’s not only far from the tradition – which in many cases states the number of bubbles is the number of coins you’ll have in life – but it’s also a sing of burnt coffee.

It will end up tasting too bitter and harsh, even if it is Arabica.

For the best results, stop just as you see the foam starting to rise. Keep stirring the coffee, but stop when you see no more ground coffee in the foam itself. Pour the coffee sideways of the cup so that the foam do not get mixed with water faster and this coffee is served with Turkish SUGAR and WATER. Since the coffee will be strong in flavor. 

Lets cook with step-by-step pictures.

Now lets see how to cook:

New Year Detox Water

New Year Detox Water Cleansing isn’t about depriving your body of food or nutrients — instead, it is a chance to retrain your palate to acquire a taste for whole foods in their natural state. I strongly believe that eating wholesome, cleansing foods in order to bring your body to an alkaline state will balance your body in a way that will be beneficial for your entire life. Approaching a cleanse in a healthy way can help you to re-establish a baseline and allow your cells and organs to function at their optimum potential. Cleansing also helps you introduce healthy, organic, and fresh foods to your diet, giving your digestive system a break while purifying your blood. It is safe to do a one or two day  juice  fast, if you feel up to it, but it is not necessary. Cleansing is about eating fresh whole foods as the basis of all your meals: eating more salads, drinking more  smoothies , and drinking lots of fresh water throughout the day. At the very least, start your...
