A lot of people have problems with cooking pasta, apparently.
Here are some tips:
To cook pasta properly, pasta needs a lot of water. A too-small pot and too little water encourages the pasta to clump and stick together, thus cooking unevenly.
For a pound (16 ounces) of pasta, you will want a…
You don’t need a party to get down on some guacamole. Put it on a salad, taco, tostada, sandwich, whatever you want. Eat it with your hands. I don’t give a flying fuck. SNACK LIFE.
GRAPEFRUIT GUACAMOLE
5 ripe avocados
2 medium grapefruits or 1 big son of a bitch
¼ cup chopped cilantro
¼ cup chopped red onion
juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
¼ teaspoon salt
Take the pit out of the avocados and scoop out all the green flesh into a large bowl. Mash it up with fork. I like my guacamole chunky but do what you gotta do. Cut the grapefruit up into segments like you would cut an orange. Remove the peel and cut the segments into pieces about the size of a nickel. Put all the grapefruit into the bowl with the avocado. Add the cilantro, red onion, lime juice, and salt and mix it all up. Taste it and add more shit until you like it. Serve immediately or chill it for a bit. I’m not gonna tell you how to eat guacamole, just follow your fucking heart.

Roasted Banana Banana Ice Cream
(Makes about three quarters of a quart of ice cream.)
Ingredients
7 overripe bananas (1 bunch), peeled, sliced and frozen (use bananas that are turning brown, but not quite as ripe and squishy as you’d normally use to make banana ice cream)
1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons margarine
1-2 tablespoons vegan whiskey, if desired
more maple syrup or another vegan sweetener, if needed
a splash of non-dairy milk or creamer, if neededDirections
1. Begin by roasting your bananas. Preheat the oven to 400F. Slice each banana into rounds 1/2″ thick. Place them in a glass baking pan (9″x13″ is ideal) in a single layer. (A little overlap is okay.) Dot the slices with the chilled margarine and then sprinkle the brown sugar on top, as evenly as possible. Bake at 400F for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove and allow to cool on the countertop. Transfer the bananas and their juices into an airtight container and freeze overnight.
2. To make the ice cream: Place the bananas in the food processor and pulse until smoothly blended. Most likely you’ll need to stir them by hand several times, as the frozen chunks tend to gather and become “stuck” on one side of the bowl. If necessary, add a splash of non-dairy milk or creamer to get things moving!
Alternately, you can allow the bananas to defrost on the counter top for 30 to 60 minutes beforehand, so that they’re easier to work with. Before putting them in the food processor, break them up into smaller chunks with a butter knife.
Note: Since introducing extra liquids (such as non-dairy milk) into the mix results in a slightly icier finished product, I prefer defrosting to non-dairy milk. If you’re in a hurry, pop the bananas in the microwave for 20 to 45 seconds instead.
3. If desired, add the optional whiskey and pulse until fully blended. Sample and add extra sweetener to taste.
4. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container. Enjoy immediately as soft serve, or pop the ice cream in the freezer for an hour+ for a firmer dessert. Store any leftovers in the freezer in an airtight container. If the frozen banana ice cream proves too hard to scoop, microwave it for ten seconds to help loosen it up (or let the container sit on the counter for ten to thirty minutes prior to eating, depending on room temp).
EASY HEALTHY VEGAN CHICKPEA AND CARROT TUNA SALAD RECIPE - PERFECT PACKED LUNCH
This is the easiest recipe ever and absolutely delicious. The hardest part is getting hold of vegan mayonnaise. All you need is:
- 2 carrots
- 1 can of chickpeas
- 2 tbsp of vegan mayonnaise
Throw the carrots and chickpeas into the food blender and blend until you have small chunks, resembling the texture of tuna. Add two big dollops of vegan mayonnaise and salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste. And that’s it.
I love having this on wholegrain bread with spinach or slices of cucumbers. Perfect for a packed lunch. Enjoy!
