Most people throw away their leftover bread once it’s not fresh enough, but there’s no reason why your stale loaf should go to waste. Your old bread can be used in many creative ways, and these five are a good place to start.

Breadcrumb Topping

Breadcrumbs can be used as a topping in a long list of different recipes. If you’re a fan of crunchy toppings that add texture and depth to your dishes, turn your old bread into crumbs.

Bread Pudding

Instead of throwing away your stale bread, use it to suck up the tasty sweet custard in your bread pudding.

Croutons

If you enjoy topping your salads and soups with croutons, you can easily make them on your own by using your leftover bread.

French Toast

The bread you’re using for your French toast doesn’t have to be 100% fresh. Stale bread is a perfect fit, and it will do a great job absorbing moisture from other fresh ingredients.

Panzanella Salad

Stale bread cubes are one of the main ingredients in this Italian salad, because they serve as the perfect sponge for its garlicky dressing.

Vegan Caesar Salad

Caesar salad is a classic dish that you can find on pretty much every restaurant menu. Its main downside is that it’s not 100% vegan, but you can make it that way with this delicious recipe.

Lemon Pasta Salad

If you love pasta and salads in equal measure, pasta salad is probably one of your all-time favorite dishes. This one is especially tasty thanks to its zesty lemon Dijon dressing, and it’s the perfect refreshment for hot summer days.

Strawberry Spinach Salad

Salads that perfectly combine sweet and savory ingredients experienced a huge rise in popularity this summer, and this one will make you fall in love with the strawberry and spinach combo.

Carrot & Chickpea Salad

If you’re always in the mood for trying dishes inspired by the international cuisine, you should try this super-crunchy and protein-rich carrot and chickpea salad, topped with spicy Moroccan dressing.

If we had to pick a single veggie that became the new “it” food of 2021, we’d have to go with sweet potatoes. From sweet potato toast and fries to sweet potato ice cream and milkshake, this root vegetable found its way in pretty much every dish thanks to its great taste and versatility. In addition to being super-delicious, sweet potatoes also come with a long list of health benefits that you should keep in mind.

Nutritional Value

Sweet potatoes are an amazing source of minerals, vitamins, and fiber. In addition to containing high levels of iron, calcium, and selenium, they’re also a good source of vitamins B and C.

Better Digestion

Sweet potatoes can also promote a healthy digestive system because they’re high in fiber. The antioxidants they contain can also positively impact your gut health.

Healthy Vision

Sweet potatoes owe their rich orange color to the high levels of beta-carotene. This antioxidant is converted to vitamin A once consumed, and it’s believed to be beneficial for your eye health.

Boosting Immune System

Vitamin A can also help you keep your immune system in check, and that’s one of the reasons why you should consider introducing sweet potatoes to your diet.

Despite its enormous popularity, mayonnaise is wildly considered as one of the unhealthiest condiments on the market because it’s high in fat and calories. If you’re looking for healthier alternatives you could replace it with, these five are your best bet.

Hummus

Mayo is commonly used as a spread in sandwiches and wraps, and it can easily be replaced with other, more nutritious substitutes, such as hummus.

Plain Greek Yogurt

If you can’t imagine a salad that doesn’t include any mayo, how about giving low-fat plain Greek yogurt a go? It will bring out the best in other ingredients, giving your salads an amazing taste.

Mashed Avocado

If you’re looking for a healthier spread that you can use instead of mayo, consider mashed avocado because it’s packed with healthy fats.

Pesto

Made with basil, olive oil, and pine nuts, this traditional Italian sauce can replace mayo in both sandwiches and salads, and it’s incredibly healthy and versatile.

Vegan Mayonnaise

Vegan mayo is experiencing a rise in popularity as more and more people try to embrace a healthier diet. Many store-bought brands are already available, but you can always make your own.

TikTok is the place where you can find some of the most unusual food recipes and food experiments on the internet. And while some of them end up receiving praise for their ingenuity, others are met with a more polarizing response.

The most recent example of the second one is the chicken nugget parmesan recipe from TikTok user Aldentediva that left outspoken celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay appalled.

The Recipe

Aldentediva posted a video back in July that saw her making sliders using chicken nuggets and party rolls. The clip quickly became viral, with some users praising it and others being outraged by it.

The recipe involved her cutting the party rolls in half and covering the bottom with tomato sauce. She then placed a chicken nugget on each roll before topping them with parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese. She returned the top half of the rolls, brushed it with garlic butter, and popped it in the oven.

@aldentediva

🐖 With the speed at which kids gobble down nuggets it’s nice to have something different to make at least 🤷🏻‍♀️ #chicken #nuggets #chickenparm #eat

♬ Spongebob – Dante9k

Ramsay’s Reaction

The recipe eventually caught the attention of Ramsay, who decided to share his reaction to it with the rest of the TikTok users.

The clip shows Ramsay in clear disbelief as he watches the recipe being made. He makes several remarks on the dish and ends up saying that the hardest part of this recipe is “swallowing it”.

So far, Ramsay’s reaction racked up close to 10 million views and 14,000 comments. Watch it below.

TikTok has given us many food trends since the pandemic started. The lockdown made many people stay at home more and cook a lot more than before, so when there’s a new recipe that’s easy to make and delicious, we all want to try it. One of the latest examples is honeycomb pasta, a dish that’s similar to your favorite pasta and lasagna dishes but with a twist.

The recipe was first shared by Anna Rothfuss, a TikTok user who posted a video of how she makes this pasta dish. She calls it honeycomb pasta because of its shape. It’s made by nesting rigatoni pasta in a deep pan so that their openings are facing up, resembling a honeycomb. She then stuffs the openings with cheese, pours tomato sauce and ground beef over everything, and adds mozzarella on top. Didn’t we tell you it’s a delicious dish?

@bananalovesyoutoo

This honeycomb pasta is so good!! 🍝 ##fyp ##foryou ##foryoupage ##pasta ##cookinghacks ##yum

Her video quickly went viral not only on TikTok, but on other social networks too. Some people use her original recipe while others make their own versions of honeycomb pasta, and we invite you to try both. A warm and comforting pasta dish for dinner is one of the best things in the world anyway!

Fig season is in full swing, as these delicious Mediterranean fruits will be in season until the middle of the fall season. If you find yourself lucky enough to find them at your local market, you might be wondering what you can do with these delicious fruits. Have no fear, as here are three great uses for fresh figs that you can only use during their relatively short season!

Eat Them By Themselves

While most of us aren’t used to eating them, fresh figs are a sweet and delicious treat. All of the fruit is edible except for its stem, which you should cut off. Other than that, just slice open, take small bites and enjoy its ultra-sweet flavor.

In Salads

Figs are a great topping for a salad as long as you don’t go over the top with them. They go great with ingredients like berries, spinach, and goat cheese. My favorite dressing to use on salads with figs is a balsamic vinaigrette.

On Toast

Have you ever tried fig toast before? Using a multi-grain, slightly sweet bread along with goat cheese or a relatively strong option can be the perfect combination between savory and sweet to start your morning!

TikTok has given us many food trends since the pandemic started. The lockdown made many people stay at home more and cook a lot more than before, so when there’s a new recipe that’s easy to make and delicious, we all want to try it. One of the latest examples is honeycomb pasta, a dish that’s similar to your favorite pasta and lasagna dishes but with a twist.

The recipe was first shared by Anna Rothfuss, a TikTok user who posted a video of how she makes this pasta dish. She calls it honeycomb pasta because of its shape. It’s made by nesting rigatoni pasta in a deep pan so that their openings are facing up, resembling a honeycomb. She then stuffs the openings with cheese, pours tomato sauce and ground beef over everything, and adds mozzarella on top. Didn’t we tell you it’s a delicious dish?

Her video quickly went viral not only on TikTok, but on other social networks too. Some people use her original recipe while others make their own versions of honeycomb pasta, and we invite you to try both. A warm and comforting pasta dish for dinner is one of the best things in the world anyway!

Fig season is in full swing, as these delicious Mediterranean fruits will be in season until the middle of the fall season. If you find yourself lucky enough to find them at your local market, you might be wondering what you can do with these delicious fruits. Have no fear, as here are three great uses for fresh figs that you can only use during their relatively short season!

Eat Them By Themselves

While most of us aren’t used to eating them, fresh figs are a sweet and delicious treat. All of the fruit is edible except for its stem, which you should cut off. Other than that, just slice open, take small bites and enjoy its ultra-sweet flavor.

In Salads

Figs are a great topping for a salad as long as you don’t go over the top with them. They go great with ingredients like berries, spinach, and goat cheese. My favorite dressing to use on salads with figs is a balsamic vinaigrette.

On Toast

Have you ever tried fig toast before? Using a multi-grain, slightly sweet bread along with goat cheese or a relatively strong option can be the perfect combination between savory and sweet to start your morning!
