Three retailers step up shopper engagement with bots

FreshDirect, Subway and The Cheesecake Factory have added a new item to their menus—conversational commerce.
Through a partnership with MasterCard, the three brands are now using artificial intelligence (AI)-based bots to enable consumers to browse menus, build orders and securely checkout via Masterpass—all without leaving the Messenger chat-based platform.
For example, on online fresh food grocer FreshDirect, the bots enables customers to browse, shop and purchase groceries directly within Messenger. Meanwhile, Subway customers can use the bot to order their sandwich or salad order, and even add sides, toppings, snacks and drinks, and then pay for their meal through the chat app. The bot is currently available in more than 26,500 Subway restaurants in the United States.

When visiting a new country, one of the most exciting aspects for many tourists is trying the local cuisine. Morocco is no exception, with its rich and flavorful dishes that have captivated the taste buds of travelers for centuries. However, it is natural for visitors to have concerns about the safety of the food they consume while abroad. In this blog post, we will address the question, ‘Is Moroccan food safe to eat for tourists?’
Food Safety Standards in Morocco
Morocco takes food safety seriously and has implemented various measures to ensure the well-being of both locals and visitors. The country has a regulatory body called the Moroccan Food Safety Authority (MFSA), which is responsible for monitoring and enforcing food safety standards across the nation.
The MFSA regularly inspects food establishments, including restaurants, cafes, and street food vendors, to ensure that they adhere to the necessary hygiene and safety practices. This includes proper food storage, handling, and preparation techniques.
Additionally, the MFSA conducts regular training programs for food handlers to educate them about food safety protocols. These initiatives aim to minimize the risk of foodborne illnesses and maintain high standards of hygiene throughout the food industry.
Common Moroccan Dishes
Moroccan cuisine is renowned for its vibrant flavors and unique combinations of spices. Some of the most popular dishes that tourists should try during their visit to Morocco include:
- Tajine: a slow-cooked stew that can be made with various meats, vegetables, and aromatic spices.
- Couscous is a staple dish made from steamed semolina grains and often served with vegetables and meat.
- Pastilla: a savory pastry filled with layers of flaky pastry, spiced meat, and almonds, topped with powdered sugar and cinnamon.
- Harira: a traditional Moroccan soup made from tomatoes, lentils, chickpeas, and various herbs and spices.
These dishes, among many others, offer a delightful culinary experience that showcases the rich cultural heritage of Morocco.
Safe Eating Practices for Tourists
While Moroccan food is generally safe to eat for tourists, it is essential to follow some basic precautions to ensure a pleasant and healthy dining experience:
- Choose reputable establishments: Opt for restaurants and food vendors that have positive reviews and a good reputation for cleanliness and quality.
- Wash fruits and vegetables: If consuming raw fruits or vegetables, make sure to wash them thoroughly with clean water.
- Drink bottled water: To avoid any potential contamination, it is advisable to drink bottled water or use a water purifier.
- Avoid street food with questionable hygiene: While street food can be delicious, it is crucial to assess the cleanliness and hygiene practices of the vendor before indulging.
- Be cautious with seafood. If you are a seafood lover, ensure that the seafood is fresh and properly cooked to avoid any risks.
Moroccan food is generally safe to eat for tourists, thanks to the strict food safety standards enforced by the Moroccan Food Safety Authority. By following some basic precautions and choosing reputable establishments, visitors can enjoy the diverse and flavorful cuisine that Morocco has to offer without compromising their health. So, during your next trip to Morocco, be sure to savor the delectable dishes and embark on a culinary adventure like no other!

Restaurante O Apeadeiro, Sintra
One substantial benefit of our fruitless journey to Praia Adraga yesterday (see here) was to discover a reasonable restaurant in Sintra. Restaurante O Apeadeiro was recommended to us by our very friendly and helpful taxi driver who took us Praia Adraga and back. As soon as we got into the taxi he did warn us that ours might be a wasted journey due to the recent damage wrought by the sea. We decided we would take a look anyway. I think the taxi driver, who originally came from the Vinho Verde region in Northern Portugal, found the sight of the foaming sea fascinating too as he also took photos.
On our way back we asked him if he could recommend a decent restaurant in Sintra. Reassuringly he dismissed all of the establishments in the centre as tourist traps. Instead he suggested O Apeadeiro, which is close to the station. We got to the restaurant just after 1pm and it was almost full mainly with locals – many enjoying the €15 menu – thick, creamy vegetable soup followed by a pork dish, dessert and coffee.
Not wanting a big meal we didn't go for the menu instead Carole chose Arroz de Tamboril (monkfish with rice) and I opted for the Sole Meunier (€15). Both were fine but not as good as we would have had a Praia Adraga, although they would probably have been more expensive.
On the wine list I spotted the Vinho Verde from Palacio da Brejoeira for €25. This is easily the most expensive Vinho Verde made, we had never previously got round to trying it and very reasonably priced for a restaurant. No vintage was listed but it turned out to be the 2008 (12.5% alc) and very good it was too. Naturally there was some bottle evolution – buttery, nutty, full flavoured with refreshing lemony acidity. One of the best Vinho Verdes we have ever drunk.
At the end we were offered a glass of Tawny Port – just to ensure that we could doze on the train back to Lisbon! So O Apeadeiro is good value with reasonable cooking and definitely friendly service ideal if you want lunch in Sintra.


Is there anything in this world as good as cheese?
You can literally just eat it as it is and it’s still amazing.
And you can also put it in stuff to make said ‘stuff’ more tasty.
For example: Add the extra, fattening yet delumptious cheese to your pasta and melt in pure bliss (as I did today)
Or for a little snack, slice it up and eat in crackers. With maybe a slice of cold, iced tomato.
Hey, drinking a hot cuppa soup? Just add some cheese and watch it melt slowly into the heartwarming broth. And, the melting gives you some time to ponder the deep metaphorical resonance of that melting. Like the way it blends into the surrounding soup to disappear yet still have a rich, creamy aftertaste.
Or just eat that big bloc of cheese.
I repeat, you can never go wrong with cheese.
Have some cheesecake 🙂
1. Really? Isn’t it clear enough? Cheese is good. Cheese is….gouda. Get it? No? Ok. Well anyway, it’s good and sublime and amazing and unhealthy in extreme in quantities but still it’s so good. Also, when I’m obsessing over something like this, I can get a teensy bit weird.
2. Maybe I’m kinda of too into eating cheese. But I must say, it in no way fattens me up. I have one of those constitutions where I’m always of average body weight. Neither too thin nor too fat. If you’ll pardon the expression.

Go on, tell me how much you love fat. If you’re anything like me you look for excuses to eat more avocados. One of my new fatty favs however, is ghee. Creamy and dreamy. If you haven’t heard of ghee before, I am about to introduce you to one of the most delectable culinary treats. You’re welcome.
Ghee has been used in Ayurvedic Cooking for centuries and was first developed to make a shelf stable butter in the warmer climate. Basically, it’s just butter, heated so the lactose and casein are removed (so those with dairy sensitivities may be able to enjoy it!). When it is heated it gains a rich, golden hue and a delicious nutty flavour.
Ghee is now gaining in superfood stardome because of its healing qualities. High in fat soluble vitamins A and E as well as conjugated linoleic acid from grass fed cows. Conjugated linoleic acid has been shown to help with insulin sensitivity in children and can also benefit those trying to lose weight. Ghee is full of short and medium chain fatty acids, much like coconut oil, and can be used directly as energy- making it great pre-workout fuel.
As we have now learned that low fat diets are a thing of the past and were introduced into US and UK guidelines based off of no credible evidence can we all agree that it’s ok to fatten up on the dinner plate? Fats have so many important roles in our bodies including; keeping you full for longer, helping to balance out those hormones as well as nourishing your skin. Because of this we must consume high quality which means grass fed, organic and cold-pressed where applicable.
I am sharing with you today a super simple treat that is packed with fat so it makes it hard to overindulge. This almond butter fudge is the perfect little pre workout fuel or energy pick me up.
- 500 g organic grass fed butter
- Melt the butter over low/medium heat in a medium sized pot
- Bring the butter to a low simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes.
- As it’s simmering white foam will come to the top. I like to skim it as it cooks or you can wait until the end and strain it.
- Once the butter has turned a golden colour and the foam has separated and starts to brown you can pour the liquid through a nut mylk bag or cheesecloth into a glass jar.
- Let it cool to room temperature before storing it in the fridge. (Ghee can be stored at room temperature as well but I like to keep mine in the fridge so that it lasts longer.)
- Spread on your favourite muffin, use in your elixirs or eat with a spoon!
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup ghee
- 1/4 cup cacao butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp pink himalayan salt or sea salt
- Melt the ghee and cacao butter in a small pot over low heat. Stir often so as not to burn it.
- Once the ghee and cacao butter are melted remove from heat and stir in the almond butter and maple syrup
- Mix in the vanilla, cinnamon and sea salt.
- Pour into a greased loaf pan and put in the fridge to set (or the freezer is you’re impatient ;).
- once hardened cut into little squares. These are best stored in the fridge and are enjoyed straight out of the fridge!

FAQs for Convection Microwave Cookware
What kind of cookware do you use in convection microwave?
Bakeware made of aluminum, glass, ceramic, or stone is all suitable for use in a convection oven. Some cookware of these materials is specifically created for convection cooking, so make sure that it is specifically labeled as being suitable for a convection oven before purchasing it. Also remember that the thinner the material is, the less effective convection cooking will be
Do you need special cookware for convection microwave?
Many kinds of cookware can be used in the convection microwave oven, but there are some things to look for. Metal pans should be coated with an enamel lining to prevent any metallic taste. If a glass pan has metal handles, make sure they are made of stainless steel or another non-reactive metal so that they do not absorb into the food being cooked or weaken and break.
Can I use a Glass container in convection microwave?
The chefs recommend that you cannot use glass or ceramic utensils in the convection mode as they may damage the inside of your microwave oven. This is because, in the Convection Mode, the microwaves are sent through the top heating element and then down towards the food. The food, therefore, needs to be stirred or mixed during cooking to ensure that all parts are heated evenly, and glass or ceramic utensils would cause sparking which could damage your oven’s interior.
Can I bake in a convection microwave?
Convection microwaves are ideal for anyone hosting special dinner parties because they allow you to roast, bake and convect additional hot air inside the microwave, which means better food options. Whether you’re roasting cauliflower, baking crispy plantains, or crisping bacon – simply remove your oven dishes, transfer them to the microwave and cover with a dish.
Read in Depth: Can You Bake In a Convection Microwave?
When would you use a convection microwave?
A convection microwave can be used for preparing a wide variety of foods, from popcorn and pastries to roasting meats and baking pizza. It is especially useful for cooking foods that require even heating, browning or crispiness on the surface.
Is a convection microwave better than a regular microwave?
A microwave can cook food much faster than a convection microwave. So, if you are looking for speed, consider a microwave. A microwave uses microwaves to heat the food from the inside to generate heat which is why it takes less time to cook or reheat food. A convection oven on the other hand uses multiple heating elements such as infrared heating lamps and coils and thus heats from outside the food to higher temperatures than any microwave.
Do convection ovens cause cancer?
If you or someone you know owns a convection oven and is concerned about whether it can cause cancer, know that there is no scientific evidence to support this claim. Microwave cooking has been proven over and over again to be safe and convenient for cooking food.
Can you roast vegetables in a convection microwave?
It is possible to roast vegetables in a microwave, but you will have to be careful with the placement of the pan and the temperature you place it at. Microwaves heat food quickly, so you should be careful not to place it in an area where it will sit in an open flame or cooker unattended. Microwave ovens are not designed to steam cook food, so don’t expect much from them other than quick meals
The best cookware for a convection microwave oven is one that can withstand high temperatures without losing its shape or structure. It should retain heat efficiently to ensure even cooking of foods. It should also withstand the high power of a convection microwave oven. If you need the baking trays for a large family, buy Rachael Ray.
You can buy Nordic for regular use in the oven. Hence, cookware should have thick and sturdy material to prevent destruction by the strong heating inside the oven. For cooking purpose, Joseph 45001 is the perfect option.
It must be easy to store in your kitchen since it doesn’t spoil easily or get damaged if accidentally dropped on the floor. Also, it should clean easily with just a wipe of cloth without damaging its nonstick coating.

Malone’s headcheese was originally a seasonal product, shared by the Malones with friends and family. That is why during this time of the year we at Malone’s are reminded of just how this company began. It all started with a small neighborhood store on the corner of 6th and Hadley operated by husband-and-wife team George and Glorious Malone, the store offered basic provisions, household items, penny candy and deli meats. It was at this store where Glorious Malone started taking orders for her headcheese. We are reminded how that small store developed its specialty product into a thriving small business. So during this time of thanksgiving we are grateful for what once was, what now is and what will be.
Autumn is really upon us as of late and even though the weather is getting colder and colder, Malone’s has been making frequent appearances to showcase our headcheese and pates. Last week we were at the Wisconsin Grocers Association Innovation Expo at the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells and appeared at Madison’s Isthmus Food and Wine Festival. We like nothing more than bringing our product to those who have never tried headcheese or who have never even heard of it.
Malone’s also proudly received first runner up in the Governor’s Conference for small sized Outstanding Woman-Owned Business Award. Everyone here is very grateful for the award.
Lastly, we were featured on Fox 6 News’ Real Milwaukee segment. During the show Kyle Cherek of the PBS series “Wisconsin Foodie” introduced some new foods to the Fox News’ cast. Our headcheese was sampled and received positive reactions.

Malone’s on Real Milwaukee
The Malone’s team has been working hard these past few weeks attending the Scale Up Milwaukee Scalerator sessions. These sessions have been delving deep into the world of sales and marketing, assisting Malone’s and other local businesses in harnessing their full potential.
Malone’s has also been a part of other events including the ACF Chefs of Milwaukee Full Belly Fundraiser, Brewfest and the African American Chamber of Commerce, Women in Business Series Luncheon “Journey of Powerful women”.
Lastly, on October 15 and 16 the Malone’s team will have a booth at this year’s Wisconsin Grocers Association Innovation Expo at the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells. Needless to say everyone at Malone’s has been busy working in and outside the building.
Malone’s has been busy these last few weeks. Last week the good people from Wisconsin Foodie came by and interviewed our President and CEO, Daphne Jones. Daphne gave the Foodie crew the full tour of the building and sat down with the host of the hit PBS show to discuss the history of the company, its fantastic products and the future of Malone’s. The episode featuring Malone’s is expected to air in early 2014.
Malone’s has also been selected to participate in Scale Up Milwaukee’s Scalerator program. The Scale Up program is a series of workshops designed to give already successful local businesses the tools to increase sales and improve on the businesses themselves. The face behind Scalerator is Dan Isenberg, a Venture Capitalist who is also a entrepreneurship professor at Babson College. Malone’s expects nothing but great things to come from the Scale Up Milwaukee program and is sure that the workshops will provide useful information and techniques to help the company.

Social Media and Marketing Intern
As my first week comes to a close as a Fall intern at Malones a few things are going through my mind. First, how welcoming everyone I have met has been to me. Every time a new face walks through the door they always come and introduce themselves to me and I regret to say that I have met so many that is hard to keep track of everyone’s name. Second, the interns before me have been working hard, not only is there a Malones presence on every large social media website, but I have found pages upon pages of notes detailing the aspirations that the previous interns hoped to accomplish. The real impressive thing about these intern’s goals were they were acted upon, they reached out to the community and sought out new avenues of potential consumers. I have a lot to live up to if I hope to keep up the same quality of work that previous interns have provided. I only hope that I can work with the company to further the Malones brand.

Malone’s Fine Sausage has been producing their fabulous gourmet headcheese since 1961. But headcheese has been being made for much longer. During the Middle Ages, headcheese was made by removing all of the organs of a pig’s head. The meat would then be cooked and made into headcheese. The headcheese would jell up due to the natural gelatin in the head. It gained popularity in the American South due to how cheap the cut was as well as being fairly easy to cook. Now days, many companies mix in additional gelatin to their headcheese. Malone’s gourmet headcheese is all-natural additive-free headcheese!
Headcheese is made in many cultures around the world. Take a look at all of the various versions and names from around the world!

Jacqro Farm is a 2.5-acre farm located in Paradise, California. We are committed to growing the finest poultry and heirloom produce possible, using humane, environmentally sound techniques.
Pastured, Organically Fed Chickens
- Our chickens have acccess to pasture all day every day. Not only is this a more humane way to raise chickens (and a very effective way to develop fertile, productive pastures!), it also means that the chickens exercise more, and have a more varied diet, which makes for a better tasting bird.
- The chickens we raise are bred from classic Burgundian and Breton varieties. As well as being energetic foragers, and growing well on pasture, they are slower growing than the Cornish crosses usually used for commercial broiler production. Slower growing birds are slightly costlier to raise, but they suffer many fewer health problems and produce a fuller-flavored bird with a better texture. The variety we raise has been used with great success for many years in Europe to meet the exacting Label Rouge standard.
- We are sold out for the time being; we expect to have chickens available again in November.
We welcome visitors at our farm by appointmentJacques Williams and Robin Robar


I don’t know if any of you have made it to Trader Joe’s this year, but dear lord, they are killing it with the seasonal pumpkin overload! While most of it isn’t vegan, there are quite a few veg friendly items that are definitely worth a try. Of course, I bought all the vegan items to indulge my pumpkin fanaticism and they are all tasty (except for the body butter, I didn’t taste that. … yet.)
- Pumpkin Joe-Joes- Let me say that these are probably my most favorite Trader Joe’s treats ever. They are like Oreos, but the vanilla cookie ones, with pumpkin filling. Can I repeat that? PUMPKIN FILLING! Ok now that you heard me, let me tell you how amazingly yummy these are. I bought one box and it was gone in a day. Then I bought the second box. It was gone in hours. (Husband and I are not pigs I swear, we just gorge ourselves once in a while. No big deal.)
- Pumpkin Spice Roobios Tea- This is a smooth, spicy, tea that’s great for winding down from a long day. This tea is a great substitute to those pumpkin spice lattes that everyone loves and is especially good for people who are avoiding coffee or caffeine. I like to brew it and then add some almond milk so it kinda feels latte-y.
- Country Pumpkin Spice Granola- Eat it as a snack. Eat it for breakfast. Eat it hot. Eat it cold. You can even throw this on top of some yogurt. I tried it all ways and its fabulous.
- Pumpkin Body Butter- Ok, Trader Joe’s is not the first place I go for lotions and potions but I saw this by the register (damn impulse buys) and I decided to check it out. After a quick check to make sure it was vegan and cruelty-free, it ended up in my basket. It really smells mostly of cinnamon and nutmeg but it feels luxurious when you slather it on. This is a super silkily, delicious fragrance that will have you smelling spicy all day long.
Have you tried any Trader Joe’s seasonal goodies? Which ones are your favorites?
It’s time for another amazing Vegan Cuts Beauty box, Snuggle friends. This is a really great program that allows you to sample 5-7 vegan, cruelty-free, toxin-free beauty and self-care products for only $20 a month. This is such a great value because many of these boxes have at least 1 full size product mixed in with the samples. It’s like a little gift you can give yourself monthly.
Without further ado, Here’s your September Vegan Cuts Beauty Box:
- Clark’s Botanicals Deluxe Deep Moisture Mask– This stuff is amazing. The smell is incredibly soothing and the way your skin feels after doing a treatment makes you want to rub your face on people to show them how smooth and soft it is. This mask is made from algae, comfrey root, jasmine and green tea.
- Only Goodness Inside Deodorant- This is a good deodorant that will keep you stink free all day. They use organic food grade ingredients that are gluten-free, vegan, irritation-free and best of all, stain-free. It goes on like a lotion and dries quickly making it great for peeps on the go.
- Lunatick Cosmetic Labs- Oh and I love me some eyeshadow. I mean I’m kind of obsessive with it, especially funky colors. So this was a nice little surprise this month. I received this loose shadow in Dr. Jekyll, which is this amazing bronzy, gold shade with silver sparkles. This is a really awesome shade that can go for both day and nighttime wear. (And I got lots of compliments on it)
- Derma E Microdermabrasion Scrub- This is a very nice scrub that uses volcanic sand and Dead Sea salt to gently buff away dead skin for amazingly soft and smooth skin. Dead Sea salt and volcanic sand? Sounds tre chic and spa like.
- Suncoat Mascara- A natural, sugar based mascara that is excellent for sensitive eyes. Suncoat uses mineral pigments and vitamin E but leaves out the toxins to keep your peepers healthy. This is a nice, thick mascara that glides on smoothly and lasts throughout a long work day.
That about wraps it up. These are some really great products and you should get in on the next box. So go do it. Now. You won’t regret it.
Alright, alright, alright, it’s October 1st and you know what that means. It’s officially pumpkin season. Now, I know Starbucks and most various other places launched their pumpkin seasonal lovelies back at the end of August but in my own personal opinion, October is really when it should be debuted.
Pumpkin is crazy versatile and super nutritious (tons of antioxidants.) Fresh is always best, canned will do in a pinch but you have to be aware of those nasty BPAs that can be lurking in cans. I usually get a good-sized pumpkin, roast it, and then can or freeze it for when I need it. Seeing as there are million things you can make with pumpkin you’ll probably go through it pretty fast.
With that being said, here are my top 10 Favorite Ways to Use Pumpkin
- Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte- Starbucks may taste nice, but ditch the nasty additives and make the real thing at home.
- Roasted Pumpkin Seeds- A delightful snack if you’re on the go. Also a great topper for salads and soups
- Pumpkin Soup- Super yum. Pumpkin soup is creamy and it can be sweet or savory.
- Pumpkin Ravioli- I have yet to make these, but they are on my bucket list for fall this year. Pumpkin filled little noodle delights? Where can you go wrong.
- Pumpkin cookies– If you remember last year’s pumpkin cookies…
- Pumpkin smoothie- Just a little frozen puree, almond milk, and spices and you have liquid pumpkin pie for breakfast.
- Pumpkin pie- Der. Can’t have fall without at least one helping of pumpkin pie.
- Pumpkin pie oatmeal- You can have pie for breakfast! Didn’t you know? Add some puree and pumpkin pie spices to oatmeal for a hearty breakfast.
- Pumpkin pasta sauce- Making any squash into a pasta sauce is super delicious and makes me want to cuddle up under a fluffy blanky and watch the leaves fall.
- Roasted pumpkin- Roasting is great for almost any vegetable. Roasting really concentrates the flavors and the nice caramelizing on the outside is enough to make my mouth water.
Ok, I think covered everything. Pumpkins are great because they are nutritionally dense on top of tasting amazing no matter what you do with them. Celebrate fall with some pumpkin!
What are you favorite pumpkin treats?

How to Clean a Nut Milk Bag
This article will talk about why you need to clean a nut milk bag first and the process one should follow in cleaning the nut milk bag before use. If you want your recipe to taste the best, it is essential to use clean and fresh utensils while cooking.
Reasons to Keep Your Nut Milk Bag Clean
Keeping the kitchen hygiene aside, there are many more reasons to keep your nut milk bag clean. The reasons are as follows:
- If your nut milk bag is in the best shape and is cleaned regularly, it will help your recipe last longer and taste better.
- By cleaning the nut milk bag regularly, the lifespan of the bag ultimately increases
- Your nut milk bag plays various roles in the kitchen, thus keeping it clean is a necessity.
If you want your recipe to be free of any external particles, bacteria and want to enjoy the original flavors of the food, never skip the cleaning of your nut bag.
Before moving on to the cleaning process, let us get the ingredients required to keep the cleaning process seamless and easy.
Here is the list of materials required for cleaning your nut milk bag:
- An unscented mild liquid soap or an unscented soap bar
- Stainless steel pegs avoid using the plastic ones as they are unhygienic and might destroy the bag. They are no friends of the environment as well.
- A small laundry bucket or a clean sink
Step 1: Rinsing the Bag Under Running Water
To deep clean the bag, it is essential to start with rinsing the bag under running water, and it will help get rid of any extra dirt from the bag.
Here are the steps you need to follow.
- Start with turning the nut milk bag inside out; the bag’s seams should be on the outside ready for a good rinse.
- Start the tape and make sure the pressure of the water is good and the temperature is warm.
- Now bring the bag under the water and make sure the unwanted particles are getting washed away with the pressure of the water.
- Now turn the bag back in and rinse the bag from the outside as well.
Step 2: Soap Up the Bag
Once you are done removing the small dust particles from the bag, it is time to soap up the bag. Here are the steps that you will need to follow:
- Take the bag and put some unscented liquid soap on it or rub an unscented soap bar. Gently scrub the bag with your hands to remove the unwanted particles stuck to the fabric.
- If you are not up for a hand wash, you can also wash the bag with a mild detergent in the laundry, but do not forget to switch off the drier cycle.
Some people try to wash the nut milk bag on the top compartment of the dishwasher, but we do not recommend it, as the fiber mesh of the bag might catch up with the food particles during the wash.
Step 3: Soaking And Bleaching to Remove Fragrance
When it comes to kitchen utensils, it is best to keep them fragrance-free, as it will not ruin the fragrance and flavors of the food while cooking.
Hence you need to move forward with the soaking and bleaching to remove fragrance from the nut milk bag. Here are the steps you need to follow:
- Start with creating a dilute vinegar mixture in a bowl. Now dip the nut milk bag into the mixture for at least 30 minutes.
- Now take another bowl and add less than a teaspoon of oxygen bleach into 2 cups of water.
- After 30 minutes, take the bag and dip it into the bleach solution for treating the discoloration and disinfecting the bag.
- Soak the bag for a maximum of 4 minutes into the solution.
- Now rinse the bag with clean water.
You do not need to use bleach every time you clean the nut milk bag, and it might weaken the weave of the bag.
Step 4: Sanitizing the Bag for Mold and Bacteria Protection
If your bag spends most of the time locked in a closed space, then you cannot afford to miss this step at any cost.
In addition, sanitizing the bag for mold and bacteria protection is necessary to cook healthy food whenever you use the bag next. You can use any of these methods.
- Add some boiling water into the bowl, put the nut milk bag into the water, and remove it instantly. Boiling the bag might damage the fiber.
- Now add some salt into hot water and dip the bag for at least 30 minutes into the solution of salty water. Rinse very well after removing the bag from the solution.
- Now take 6% acidic vinegar, dip the bag for at least 20 minutes, and rinse well with clean water.
- Once you are done washing the bag with soap, you can use the option of frying the bag under the sun to kill the bacteria.
If you follow any of the extra treatments mentioned above, the lifespan of your nut milk bag will be increased.
Step 5: Rinsing, Drying, and Storage
Since all the extra treatments are done, now is the time to move forward with the final step, rinsing, drying, and storing the nut milk bag.
Here are the steps that you need to follow:
- Once the soap wash is done, turn your bag inside out again and put it under warm running water. Scrub a little with your hands and wash the bag by turning it back in.
- Never use the dryer of the washing machine to dry. The best method is to opt for drying the bag in the sun, but you can also choose the drying rack below the kitchen sink.
- Make sure you store your nut milk bag in a cool, dry place or a container that is sterile and breathable.
If your drying and storage part is done right, it will keep the nut milk bag strong and healthy to use for a long time.
Cleaning the Nut Milk Bag Before the First Use
As mentioned above, it is necessary to clean the nut milk bag before the first use. The process does not involve the steps with a stain treatment. Thus, it is short and simple.
Here are the steps you need to follow for cleaning the nut milk bag before the first use
- Fill some water in a small bowl, add some unscented liquid soap, or use a soap bar to create soapy water.
- Now dip the nut milk bag into the soap solution and gently rub the bag with your hands.
- Now turn the bag inside out and wash the seams thoroughly.
- Now rinse the bag well with running water and hang the bag outside in the sun to dry.
While choosing soaps and cleaning detergents, always go for mild and organic products.
Frequently Asked Questions
If My Nut Bag Is Stained Is It Still Ok to Use It?
It is absolutely fine to use a stained nut bag for cooking, as the stains are from natural ingredients. For example, turmeric and coffee often result in the discoloration of the nut milk bag; they are like natural dyes and do not cause any severe harm in terms of usage.
How Can I Remove Stains from My Nut Milk Bag?
The process for stain removal is pretty simple: just dip the nut milk bag in a solution of water and your favorite stain removing agent. Go for using organic stain removing agents; if your bag is made of nylon, avoid the use of bleach at any cost.
What Is the Best Material for a Nut Milk Bag?
Nylon is considered to be one of the best materials when it comes to nut milk bags. This is one of the most durable materials in the market and can keep the milk free from harsh chemicals.
Since you are aware of the cleaning process of a nut milk bag, now your plant milk or juice will last longer. If you do not want to experience any unwanted flavors in your food, make sure you clean your utensils after each use to maintain the kitchen’s hygiene.


Once upon a time, my beloved Cookbook Club was temporarily dismantled by the all-intrusive Covid which had the AUDACITY to hold hostage my priceless ability to taste.
Does that sound a little dramatic? Maybe. But also, not being able to taste for ANY amount of time makes me more "extra" than any other ailment. Yes, 'twas an ailment.
ANYWAYS... I have been wanting to check out Cook This Book by: Molly Baz for a while now. I've seen a few pictures online and everything seems like my cup o'espresso (I hate tea).
And, lucky for me, a friend of mine reached out and reminded me that her birthday was coming up and (praise Satan) asked if I would HOST. I know, most people would possibly die at the suggestion of hosting and making a meal for a group of people.
BUT THERE IS NOTHING THAT MAKES ME HAPPIER THAN HOSTING AND COOKING FOR PEOPLE
I know, somehow, in a past life I was some kind of psychotic socialite or Stepford wife because there aren't many things I enjoy more than that. I could maybe list a few that are a solid tie or runner-up but, that's not what this is about. (THIS IS ABOUT COOKBOOK CLUB!)
Not only did I get the opportunity to do this birthday lunch, but she completely trusted me to make something spectacular, so I asked if I could use one of my Cookbook Club selections and accomplish the ol' two-fer and, she kindly said yes.
Before I get to the menu, I have to tell you how much I LOVE this cookbook, especially the layout. As someone who reads a LOT of cookbooks and a LOT of cookbook intros, this one is exceptional and super duper helpful. It's broken down into equipment, staple pantry items, a GREAT chapter that breaks down how to make food taste as incredible as possible, and a few of Molly's Golden Rules which I think most home cooks would find helpful.
For the party, I had an insanely difficult time picking things to make because everything looked so good. After sending a few options to my friend, we settled on three things.
THIS WAS DELICIOUS!
The harissa + peppadew pepper combo was *chef's kiss* bloody brilliant.
I can say as a self-proclaimed pimento cheese connoisseur, I will probably not make another pimento cheese dip that isn't this one.
I forgot I needed to double the recipe so mine had a bit of regular extra sharp cheddar cheese (instead of white), but it was seriously so good. I loved the spice from the harissa and the sweet tang of peppadew peppers (that I already have a significant love affair with) and it was perfectly dip-able, spread-able, total flavor bomb on my pita chips.
I kind of want to throw some potatoes or eggs or chicken in this and make it my new go-to salad for lunches. 10/10, will make again.
CHARRED CABBAGE WITH SALTY PEANUTS AND NUOC CHAM
So, I'm obsessed with cabbage and was immediately thrilled when my friend said she wanted this out of all the veggie sides I'd sent to her. The ingredient list was small but looked super flavorful, and wow did it pack a punch!
I charred the cabbage on my cast iron grill, tossed it in the nuoc cham (lime juice, fish sauce, fresno chiles, and sugar) and topped it with salted, roasted peanuts and scallions (also cilantro but kept it on the side for a few who *gasp* don't love it).
While I was charring the cabbage, I didn't notice the eyes staring at me wondering what on earth could be so special about what I was about to make. It wasn't until everyone had taken a bite that I heard a few "oh my god!" and "wow!" and "that is so fucking good!" followed by a few laughs. One friend mentioned she saw the cabbage and thought, "Oh, grilled cabbage, okay..." and then saw how GORGEOUS it was when I plated it and how tasty it was when it was all finished, and it reminded me that's EXACTLY why I love (and miss) being a chef. It's so rewarding to take a few, very simple ingredients, and pull them together into something beautiful and delicious.
10/10, will make again (will add more chiles next time as I was surprised how tame the spice was with the sugar added to the sauce)
HOT 'N' CRISPY CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH KIMCHI RANCH
WHERE THE HELL HAS KIMCHI RANCH BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!
Let me just break this down so you understand how incredible this is:
Chicken breasts marinated in Greek yogurt, kimchi brine, onion powder, and cayenne, then smashed into panko bread crumbs and fried. THEN that chicken gets mopped up in an acidic (yet creamy!) burst of heaven that is the kimchi ranch mix of mayo, onion powder, Greek yogurt, fresh garlic, chives, and chopped kimchi.
OMG. This is very close to what I would consider a perfect dish. Crispy, perfectly tender marinated chicken with THAT sauce, I just don't think it gets much better than that.
I had cut my chicken pieces into tenders since I was having a party and my fryer is a bit small and didn't want people waiting on chicken so it was easier to cook smaller pieces in quicker batches for accessible munching, but I can't wait to throw this on a sandwich with some extra crispy lettuce.
I highly recommend this cookbook. I only made three things but (as you can see in the first pic) I've marked a majority of the book and probably shouldn't have done that and just assumed I need to cook everything in it. The recipes are simple, ingredient lists are not intimidating, and the instructions are thorough and easy to follow.

In July of last year our blog was about catering to various food allergy and dietary needs. As I wrote at that time, we would be happy to work around any special dietary requirements our guests need. The more advanced notice we have, the better.
As I sit here now and contemplate my own dietary dilemma (basically, how to develop a healthier diet for not only me, but my family) it seems fitting to offer healthier options to our guests as well.
Our picnic lunches have been a great add-on for our guests and although nutritionally balanced, they could be lightened up in terms of nutrient quality. Starting in February, Cedar Crest Lodge will offer certain “Healthful Alternative” choices to our menu. Our “Healthful Alternative” picnic will include whole grains, fresh vegetables, low-fat proteins and fresh fruit. Additional snack offerings will also be added to our menu such as a Hummus and fresh Vegetable Tray, as well as Fresh Fruit.
I look forward to sharing all of the new recipes I have been working on so that we can offer these healthier options. We hope these changes will give you more to choose from and enhance your stay with us at Cedar Crest Lodge!< Back to Blog

St. Maria Goretti SVDP Slow Cooker Project
Members of St. Maria Goretti launched a slow cooker project, in partnership with Pottstown Family Center’s ‘Parents as Teachers’ program. Each participant receives a slow cooker and the ingredients for a meal. In four sessions (due to the pandemic, currently via Zoom), the meals are explained along with nutritional information provided by one of the members, Kristen Miller, who is a visiting nurse. The program started in March with chicken tortilla soup. In May, the meal was vegetarian lasagna. For July, the plan is to feature beef or pork and in September, they are hoping to have a potluck celebration with everyone bringing something they made in their slow cooker to share at a local park. Food costs are covered by the conference members and caseworkers from Pottstown Family center distribute the slow cookers and food, as well as provide translation for Spanish-speaking participants. Kristen feels that the success of their program has centered on aligning with a recognized social service program who could incorporate the project into their existing efforts with the families, establishing necessary buy-in and continuity.


Do you usually get anxious after eating a whole bag of popcorn on your own? Do you wonder if you should eat your veggies instead of stuffing yourself full of this wonderful food?
Well, now you can stop worrying – because researchers have discovered that this popular movie snack is as healthy as some fruit and vegetables, reports CBS News.
However, it is important to avoid drowning the popping grains in salt and butter!
Many of us probably feel ashamed after gulping down a whole bag of popcorn at the movies.
However, there might be no need to feel bad anymore, as researchers have determined that this delicious snack is packed with nutrients and in many cases is as healthy as some fruits and vegetables.
Popcorn contains useful antioxidants
Researchers from the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania, have come across a pleasant revelation, to say the least, for all of us popcorn enthusiasts.
They have studied popcorn and concluded that it contains many substances useful to our health, reports ACS.
A serving of popcorn contributes to 70% of the recommended intake of whole grains in our diets.
These grains are also full of healthy antioxidants. Among other things, they contain polyphenol, which lowers the body’s cholesterol levels – and also helps prevent cancer.
When polyphenol is mixed with water, most of the antioxidant’s properties disappear – and since popcorn only contains 4 percent water, it is, therefore, one of the absolute best sources for this super compound, the research claims.
The kernel is the best part
Many fruits and vegetables also carry these useful antioxidants – but a lot of water as well. This means, unfortunately, that they don’t have as much effect, as the health-positive properties become to a greater extent “diluted”.
The most useful part of the popcorn is unfortunately the usually avoided hard kernels – you know the ones that love to get stuck between the teeth.
It is mainly in that hull that one finds the high concentration of fibers and antioxidants, writes CBS.
If you want to healthily enjoy popcorn, you should make sure not to use a lot of butter or salt. Ideally, you should eat them without anything on, right after popping them yourself in a saucepan.
Microwave popcorn doesn’t count, as it contains a lot of bad additives and preservatives.
But surely this was still great news? At least I think so!

I've always loved baking and eating desserts. Who needs dinner when there's cake or cookies or even better - macarons!? I dedicated years to perfecting recipes for cakes, tarts, macarons, and more. Now, I bake artistic and delicious desserts in my home kitchen. I'm passionate about creating desserts that look beautiful and taste even better. Everything is handmade from scratch; from cookies to cakes, from frosting to lemon curd. Using only the best ingredients, I strive to bake at the highest quality of design and flavor. Thanks for allowing me to share my creative and sweet endeavors!


Food poisoning is a miserable experience. Many cases of food poisoning are minor and go away after a day or two. However, it is possible to become seriously — even life-threateningly — ill by ingesting contaminated food or drink. In some circumstances, you can hold the restaurant, grocery store, or food distributor accountable. Our personal injury attorneys may be able to help you get compensation if you have suffered from food poisoning.
In This Guide:

- Proving a Food Poisoning Claim
- Filing a Lawsuit against a Restaurant or Food Truck

Who Can You Sue for Food Poisoning?
You can bring legal action for food poisoning against any party that serves, sells, or supplies food. This can include:
- restaurants and food trucks
- food service companies
- grocery stores, growers, and producers
Statistics gathered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that approximately 48 million people suffer from food poisoning each year in the United States. Most cases are mild and clear up within 48 hours, however, foodborne illnesses can become serious, causing organ damage, coma, and even death for high-risk individuals.
The CDC says that, on average, foodborne illnesses result in an estimated 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths a year.
What is Food Poisoning?
Ingesting food or beverages that are contaminated with certain viruses, bacteria, parasites, or toxins causes food poisoning. It occurs when food is improperly handled during the manufacturing process or is not prepared or stored at proper temperatures. Food can also be contaminated by cooks and servers who may be ill.
Food poisoning can lead to serious illness and hospitalization, which can result in massive medical bills and lost wages from missing work. The 10 most common food poisoning offenders are listed and described at the bottom of this legal guide.
Symptoms Associated with Food Poisoning
While most incidents of food poisoning are mild enough to come and go within a day or two, it’s important to monitor for indications of a more serious illness such as:
- bloody stools
- abdominal cramps and pain
- loss of appetite
If you or someone close to you is experiencing one or more of these symptoms and suspects food poisoning, see a doctor.
Diagnosing Food Poisoning
A physician must put together a detailed medical and personal history which includes the length and symptoms of the illness and the foods consumed. The patient must also undergo a comprehensive medical examination to check for any indicators associated with food poisoning. The doctor could order diagnostic testing, which can require a stool culture or blood test.
Such tests not only help establish a personal injury case but they allow the doctor to notify the local health department to look for a food poisoning outbreak within your community.
Proving a Food Poisoning Claim
You must demonstrate two key facts in any legal action you bring against a food server, seller, or provider:
- you ingested contaminated food,
- you got sick because of that contamination,
- the defendant was negligent or reckless in handling the food, and
- your illness was caused by the negligence or recklessness of the defendant
It is easier to bring legal action if a government agency like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has linked a particular food you consumed to a known outbreak, in which case you could join a class-action lawsuit. Proving an isolated incident of food poisoning that resulted in serious illness can be considerably more difficult.
To make such a case, however, a personal injury attorney can present:
- evidence of other instances of similar food poisoning from the same source,
- expert evidence connecting the illness to the food provider,
- medical evidence proving serious sickness or injury; and
- evidence to establish the cause of the illness
Filing a Lawsuit Against a Restaurant or Food Truck
You can sue a restaurant for causing a foodborne illness by showing the food it served made you sick. Like any personal injury lawsuit, the case must be based on Colorado negligence laws.
You must be able to show:
- the restaurant owed a duty of care not to serve contaminated food and not to get its customers sick;
- you were diagnosed with food poisoning;
- you ate food from the restaurant or got sick from another person who ate there;
- your illness caused you quantifiable harm,
You can hold restaurants accountable for their employee’s actions under the respondeat superior provision in Colorado Revised Statute 13-21-111.5
Respondeat superior is a Latin legal term meaning a person shall be held responsible for the acts of his or her agents or employees. For example, the restaurant can be held liable if a waiter or cook handled food without washing their hands regularly and it caused food poisoning.
Filing a Lawsuit Against a Food Service Company or Grocery Store
Food service companies provide ingredients and food to restaurants, hospitals, schools, and government institutions such as jails and prisons. Like the businesses they supply, food service companies must ensure their products are handled and stored in a manner that keeps them fresh and free from contamination.
Product Liability Laws
Most food poisoning cases in Colorado fall under product liability laws. Colorado Revised Statute 13-80-106 allows anyone who has been sold a defective product, such as food that causes serious injury or harm, to seek compensation for damages such as hospital bills and lost wages.
Colorado is a strict liability state when it comes to most cases of food poisoning. Strict liability means the plaintiff (the sick person) does not have to prove negligence on the part of the food distributor. The plaintiff need only provide evidence showing the:
- company sold or distributed a contaminated or spoiled food product
- product was contaminated when it left the company’s control
- contaminated food product was used or ingested in the way it was intended
- person made ill suffered quantifiable (financial) harm as a result
Suing a Grocery Store
You cannot sue a grocery store or restaurant just because it was found to have served or sold contaminated food or drink. You are entitled to compensation only if you became seriously ill by ingesting the bad food — and can prove it.
However, if the grocery store sold you expired food that caused you to get sick, then you can file a claim against the grocer for any medical bills and damages that resulted. Depending on the circumstances, a grocer can be liable under a negligence standard, a product liability standard, or both.
“Sell By” Dates Are Not Expiration Dates
The date stamped on a food item purchased at a grocery store is not the date the food automatically goes bad. Rather, it is a sell-by date used by grocery clerks and managers to determine when to replace the item with fresher stock.
Getting sick after ingesting food or drink, such as milk, after its “sell-by” date does not automatically establish a case for legal action. You must prove that the food or drink caused your serious illness.
What Can be Recovered in a Food Poisoning Lawsuit?
If you file a successful personal injury claim against a restaurant, food truck, grocery store, or food service company, you can be compensated for both economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages include:
- medical bills;
- future medical bills;
- lost wages; and
- lost earning capacity.
Documentary evidence, such as bills and receipts, help determine the total value of economic damages.
Non-economic damages include:
- pain and suffering;
- emotional distress;
- emotional distress;
- loss of enjoyment of life; and
- loss of consortium.
