Anyone have any suggestions on how to sweeten hot tea without adding pure sugar?

Last night I tried sleepytime tea with some milk, however it was pretty unbearable without some sort of sweet. I added a small amount of honey but it was still pretty harsh. Any ideas on what I could add or anyone have their own recipes? Thanks!

I finally tried making one-pot pasta and it was surprisingly delicious!

I used this recipe for one-pot mushroom and Swiss chard pasta. I made a couple of changes: first, I doubled the amount of mushrooms (I used baby bella) and pasta. I also rehydrated dried porcini mushrooms in hot water and then used 2 cups of the steeping liquid (careful not to include any of the sediment at the bottom) plus three cups of chicken stock for the sauce. I also added some red pepper flakes and thyme when sauteeing the mushrooms for extra flavor.

​

It really did come out much better than I expected. The sauce was velvety smooth, the veggies were tender, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. I plan on trying lots of different combos using this same basic method to see how it turns out. I'm wondering how meat would fare ... I would probably cook it first, then remove, then add back in at the end after the boiling is complete.

​

Please share your own one-pot pasta recipes to help me expand my repertoire!

So being a chef that’s left the field and works behind a desk I find it harder and harder to make every night meals that aren’t extravagant or in the comfort food category (lots of chicken adobo, hayashi rice, beef curry, Thai curry etc on the comfort food side).

What do yo make during the week that is outside of the comfort food category that wouldn’t be so indulgent?

Jello + Cool whip

Can you mix Cool whip and Jello powders together and make a quick dessert or should I make them seperately?
