Kreative Kubits

For those of you who have high blood pressure and need to restrict your salt intake, herb salt can be an alternative that you are looking for. Maybe you are pregnant and are worried about your overall salt intake, but whatever your reason is, herb salt is healthier and tastier than ordinary salt.

When you buy herbs for this mixture, please buy organically grown ones. You don’t want to worry about pesticides and chemical residues on the leaves. If you wish to wash the herbs, do so in advance and leave them to dry completely. It is absolutely important that the herbs are dry before using them in this recipe because drops of water will only contribute to clumping of the salt.

Equipment:

mortar and pestle or a food processor

clean jar(s) to store the finished product

a large cookie sheet

A large bowl

The ingredient:

1 cup of mixed herbs:

Dill, rosemary, chives, tarragon, thyme,

oregano, basil

2 large cloves of garlic

1 cup sea salt (about 160 grams)

mortar and pestle or a food processor

clean jar(s) to store the finished product

A large cookie sheets

The ingredient:

1 cup of mixed herbs:

Dill, rosemary, chives, tarragon, thyme,

oregano, basil

2 large peeled cloves of garlic

1 cup sea salt (about 160 grams)

Procedure:

1. Mix the herbs and sea salt in a large bowl. Stir it to try to make sure that the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

2. If you are using a mortar and pestle, spoon a manageable amount of the mixture into the mortar and pound with pestle. Repeat till all of the mixture is well pounded.

If you are using a food processor, place some of the mixture into the processor and blend. Repeat till all of the mixture is processed this way.

3. Next take the blended ingredients and spread on a cookie sheet. (In fact you can use two cookie sheets since this will help speed up the drying time)

4. Place the cookie sheet(s) into a 200 degrees Fahrenheit or 90 degrees Celsius oven for 40 to 50 minutes to dry the salt mixture. Make sure to stir frequently during drying and break up any lumps.

5. Cool the herb salts completely before storing them in clean jars.

Stock up on lots of rice, and I mean lots of it. This is one of the cheapest and easiest to store items that you can get.

Rice + Chili

Rice + Gravy

Rice + Cheese

All very simple ideas but ones that can really get you by in a pinch. I have personally lived for weeks on rice alone and it is a great filler. And everyone gets tired of eating the ramen noodle diet, and if you don’t, then you’ve never lived off of them before. And I don’t recommend doing so, they will never be the same.

This is an idea I use quite often during my breaks at work. You need a few things, I will show you how to make pepperoni and ham “pizza pockets” and I’m sure you will have a good enough idea of how it’s done to get creative or even make them into “lean pockets” by getting low carb ingredients and such.

You will need: Tortillas, Pepperoni or Ham, Cheese, chicken etc. preferably a shredded mix of chees

It’s as easy as pouring a layer of cheese on the tortilla, putting your choice of meat over it and microwaving it for about 30 seconds. then you have a cheap pizza pocket alternative! Enjoy!

Want a creative way to cool down your favorite drink? Replace the water in your ice cube tray with your favorite brand of milk. You can use it as an interesting addition to your milkshake or use it in other beverages at your preference. Or maybe a glass of milk with some milk cubes would tickle your fancy, whatever the case may be you can also blend them up to help make quick dairy based icy drinks.
