• High Protein Broccoli Cheddar Soup

    Creamy and Nourishing High Protein Broccoli Cheddar Soup with a Cheesy Kick

    Ingredients:

    4 cups broccoli florets

    1 tablespoon olive oil

    1 small onion, finely chopped

    2 cloves garlic, minced

    4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth

    1 cup low-fat milk

    1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

    1/2 cup Greek yogurt (for extra protein and creaminess)

    1/2 cup cottage cheese (optional, for extra protein)

    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or cornstarch (for thickening)

    Salt and pepper to taste

    Freshly grated nutmeg (optional)

    Directions:

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

    Add broccoli florets and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until broccoli is tender.

    In a small bowl, whisk flour with milk until smooth. Slowly pour the mixture into the pot, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 5 minutes until the soup thickens.

    Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth but still slightly chunky (or blend in batches in a blender).

    Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, Greek yogurt, and cottage cheese until melted and fully combined. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg if desired.

    Heat gently if needed, but do not boil after adding cheese and yogurt to prevent curdling. Serve warm.

  • Jay's Signature Pizza Crust

    Crispy and Chewy Jay's Signature Hand-Tossed Pizza Crust

    Ingredients:

    3 ½ cups all-purpose flour

    1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast

    1 ¼ cups warm water (110°F / 45°C)

    2 tablespoons olive oil

    1 teaspoon sugar

    1 teaspoon salt

    Directions:

    In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.

    Stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

    Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 ½ hours, until doubled in size.

    Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion out to your desired pizza crust thickness.

    Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Add toppings of your choice and bake pizzas on a pizza stone or baking sheet for 12-15 minutes, or until crust is golden and crisp.

  • Could Our Universe Be Inside a Black Hole?

    The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has unveiled a cosmic twist that’s challenging our understanding of the universe — suggesting our cosmos may have emerged from a black hole.

    The Strange Spin Mystery
    Astronomers studying data from JWST’s Advanced Extragalactic Survey (JADES) found a surprising pattern — galaxies aren’t spinning randomly. Out of 263 ancient galaxies, 66% rotate clockwise, while only 34% spin counterclockwise. In a balanced universe, those numbers should be nearly equal.

    So what’s causing this imbalance? Some scientists believe it’s a clue from the universe’s birth — possibly linked to the spin of a black hole in a “parent” universe.

    The Black Hole Universe Theory
    This aligns with a concept known as Schwarzschild cosmology, which proposes:

    Our Universe Inside a Black Hole: We may exist within the event horizon of a black hole in a larger universe.
    Black Holes Create Universes: According to physicist Nikodem Poplawski’s torsion theory, black holes don’t just collapse — their spinning, twisting spacetime could spawn new universes.
    The Big Bang as a “Bounce”: Instead of a singular explosion, our Big Bang might have been a bounce — the result of matter collapsing into a black hole and then expanding outward. The black hole’s spin may have influenced the rotational pattern of galaxies we see today.

    Alternative Explanations
    Some experts suggest the rotation imbalance may simply be an observational error, possibly distorted by the Milky Way’s own motion. If true, this anomaly could still reveal insights into:

    Better ways to measure cosmic distances
    Solving puzzles like the Hubble constant debate or the appearance of ancient galaxies.

    If confirmed, this discovery could reshape our view of the cosmos — showing that black holes may not just destroy worlds, but create them.

    Rich Espresso-Infused Fudgy Brownies

    Ingredients:

    1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

    2 cups granulated sugar

    4 large eggs

    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

    1/2 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled

    1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

    Directions:

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

    In a medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar until well combined.

    Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

    Whisk in cocoa powder and cooled espresso until smooth.

    Sift together flour and salt; gradually fold into the wet mixture until just combined.

    Stir in chocolate chips.

    Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing the top evenly.

    Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.

    Allow to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
