You can whip up this creamy vegan corn chowder in 45 minutes!

If I had to attribute my love of cooking to one ingredient, it would be rhubarb (why do you think I named my dog after it?). Growing up in Alaska, rhubarb grew like a weed in our neighborhood. But living on a a military base, many of our neighbors weren’t from the north so they didn’t know what goldmine was growing in their yard. Enter: young Sarah. I’d go around harvesting all of the forgotten rhubarb in the neighborhood, stocking our freezer with bags and bags of the ruby red deliciousness (that I would later turn into rhubarb crisps and pies to share with the neighborhood)....

While a typical Indian food lover, the ‘Foodie’ inside me craves for all sorts of food and till I curated this air fryer version of Garlic bread, the Domino’s Garlic Bread was my favorite....

what is lemon juice? As you can guess, lemon juice is well, the juice of a lemon. It has a very low pH level, making it one of the most acidic natural ingredients around. This acidity helps baked goods rise and provides structure to things like jam and jellies. But if you’ve ever mixed baking soda and vinegar, then you know that dealing with acidic ingredients requires some science. In order to properly substitute lemon juice in a recipe, we need to match the flavor and the pH level of the substitute....
