Rebel Mikaela here with another super yummy and super doable recipe! It’s no secret that I’m not an experienced chef. My particular challenges lie in the quickness of my cooking. Fast-ish at running, slow at food preparation. That’s why we looove meal prep here at Rebel HQ! That, plus the household is running a company, […]
Ginger golden delight syrup recipe
In our post Incredible Edible Ginger we shared just a few of the healing properties of ginger that we discovered in the research.

20 minute dinner we love (curry and naan version)
I, Rebel Mik, am relatively new to cooking. And since apparently running skills don’t transfer to the kitchen, I’m particularly slow, so I’m always looking for ‘quick’ recipes to offset my natural sloth-ness.
