Fabulous Bircher Muesli Recipe – the Original Healthy Overnight Oats Recipe That Doesn’t Have to be Overnight

Did you know that the healthy overnight oats recipe fad is based on the Bircher muesli recipe which is more than a century old? The whole overnight oats recipe fad seems to have exploded on the scene along with Covid, but back in the 1900 (that’s no typo) Dr. Max Bircher invented the original overnight oats recipe, and called it muesli. Prescribing it for his patients, Birchermüesli, named after the good doctor, or, simply, müesli, became a staple breakfast food; muesli is a derivation of “mus”, which basically translates to “mush”. Dr. Bircher’s muesli was made by – wait for it – soaking rolled oats, and adding some other yummy stuff to it. The original Bircher muesli recipe involved soaking the rolled oats in water overnight, and then mixing them with milk or cream, some nuts, some lemon juice, and then grating an entire fresh apple into the mixture, stirring and eating. The lemon juice was to keep the apple from browning. By the way, it doesn’t even have to soak overnight, in modern times that whole thing is more about the convenience (stick it in the fridge before you go to bed, it’s ready for you in the morning).

The Best Vegan Chili Dogs Recipe – Just in Time for the 4th of July!

Vegan chili dogs! Get your vegan chili dogs! (Note, it’s ‘chili dog’, not ‘chile dog’; chile refers to the pepper, Chile refers to the country, ‘chili’ refers to the mixture of spices and beans or meat). This vegan chili dog recipe is going to fill a void for something that you may not have even known you were missing: chili dogs! As any chili dog aficionado will tell you, the sort of chili that you use to top a hot dog, to make it a chili dog, is very important. Typically the chili for a chili dog has no beans, and no vegetables, just pure meat. So how to create an authentic yet vegan chili dog? TVP, baby! TVP, and the right sauce and spicing. Here you go!
