It is time for yet another week of meal shortcuts. Little shortcuts of prep that make my life easier.

• Spicy Chai Concentrate

• Sourdough Discard Cardamom Almond & Honey Scones

• Pickled Ginger

• Dark Chocolate Pomegranate Bark

Watch me make everything here

I have been loving alllll the fall spices lately, like ginger, ceylon, cinnamon, cardamom, star anise and nutmeg are running through my veins at this point. It is in my coffee in my matcha in my evening tea and midday pick me up. So creating a spicy warming and grounding chai concentrate makes my life so much easier so I don’t have to take out individual spice and ingredients each time to make my fav bev. I make the chai concentrate decaf because sometimes I enjoy a decaf chai with steamed milk or I like adding it into an already caffeinated bev like matcha or coffee, so it is very delicious and very versatile.

I am also back on my sourdough grind which means lots of discard that is just too good to go to waste so we are making scones which is one of my favorite easy breakfasts to have (and so good dipped in our spiced bevs above).

Ginger is in season and do I need an excuse to make pickled ginger? It makes everything better. & then lastly, pomegranate. Fruit of life. The beautiful gems and seeds. ALWAYS PEEL YOUR OWN POMS. It is a labor of love and it is so worth it. The ones pre peeled never taste the same. I love it with chocolate and salt and that is what our sweet treat consists of.

Let’s get into ittt….
