Made with basmati rice, high-quality saffron threads and stock, you will never go back to your basic, boring rice recipe again. The other day I was chatting with my friend Sahar about how much we love saffron. To be fair, we were discussing it more in the context of skincare (particularly this saffron facial serum) but Sahar was teaching me about how saffron is often used in skincare and haircare products in Pakistan and India. It got me thinking about one of my favorite saffron recipes, this easy saffron rice recipe, which I used to make all the time. A little secret for you: One of the reasons I stopped making saffron rice as often was because when we moved to California…

Oat Flour Muffins

Oat Flour MuffinsOat Flour MuffinsMarch 17, 2023 at 03:26PMSwap out regular flour in these healthy and customizable oat flour muffins. Made with whole-grain ground oats, unrefined sugar and dairy-free ingredients for a muffin recipe the whole family will love. I’ve been on the oat flour train for years.
