My Smoothie Corner
Why I want to be mentor in this category:
I don't consider myself an expert, but I've made enough smoothies in my life to offer some assistance to those who want to explore smoothie making.
What inspires me in this category:
Our members inspire me!
Experience:
My boyfriend makes a smoothie every day.. They are a great way to replace meals when you want to cut down on food intake.
Biggest Lesson Learned:
Blenders expand liquids when they run.. the air makes the process out of control if you fill the blender up too much.
My Tips:
- Always seal the lid.
- Don't be afraid to add things like flax seed, chocolate chips, coconut or whatever flavors you like.
My Ganache Corner
Why I want to be mentor in this category:
I like to help!
Experience:
I have made ganache for years.
Biggest Lesson Learned:
Ganach reacts to temperature - don't be afraid to try various chocolate.
My Tips:
- Ganach reacts to temperature so if it's too thin, put it in the freezer for a few to stiffen up.
- If the ganache is too thick, leave it out for 15 minutes or so on the counter. It will smooth out.
- Instead of using a solid piece of chocolate and cutting it into pieces, you can use chocolate chips!
