Updated March 26, 2019 I’ve always loved celebrating birthdays. Of course I love my own special day, but I enjoy celebrating anyone and everyone’s birthday. I think birthday celebrations should last for the entire month too. Josh’s birthday was last weekend, we already had the party, cake, presents, etc. but I am not done yet! I made Josh another birthday treat. This time it was all about lime, his favorite!...
Updated April 15, 2012 Sometimes Martha’s recipes annoy me because I think she tries on purpose to make things difficult. But not this one, the recipe was easy breezy! There were few ingredients and they were all basic. Josh helped me out and rolled the dough into logs. He is good at it:) You have to chill the logs for at least an hour before baking. So this is a great cookie to make ahead of time…or have in the freezer!...
Updated March 26, 2019 We have a cute little cafe by our house that we love to visit for breakfast. Josh took me there for a breakfast date a few months ago and I have been hooked ever since. I am in love with the Salsa Verde Vegetable Omelette. I order it every single time. I always say I am going to try something new, but when the waiter comes, I always chicken out and order the omelette....
You can’t ask for an easier yet more impressive dessert. Pretty much every element is store-bought (you could even buy the salted caramel if you didn’t feel like making it yourself) and it’s just an assembly job. I do it a few days before the party so that it can set rock solid then I do the chocolate drizzle a few hours before, set it on it’s serving plate and pop it back into the freezer until I’m ready to serve....
Ingredients Full beef enchiladas recipe with instructions can be found in the recipe card below. For the filling: Chuck roast.

Chili powder. Cornstarch. For the enchiladas Flour tortillas. Corn tortillas can also be used. Grated cheese. I used cheddar cheese but any good melting cheese can be used....
Updated March 26, 2019 A few weeks ago we asked in one of our This and That posts if you wanted more slow cooker recipes. Well, the answer was a big fat YES! So we busted out our slow cooker and created a few recipes for you. Last week we shared a recipe for Slow Cooker Butternut Squash Soup and today we are sharing a recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken and Wild Rice Soup!...
Updated March 26, 2019 Josh does most of the grocery shopping now that we have Caleb. It is easier for him to stop at the store on his way home from work than for me to take Caleb during the day. I always give Josh a list of what we need for the week. He does a pretty good job at sticking to list, but sometimes he comes home with “surprise” items like toffee bars, Golden Puffs, or donuts....
Thou hath no fury like a burger that won’t stick together. These extra easy black bean burgers are freaking FIRM. Just like my Sweet Potato Black Bean Burgers and Chickpea Burgers, except you don’t have to chop a thing. We’ve all spent hours prepping veggie burgers…no longer! When whipping out the food processor sounds as fun as folding your cousin’s laundry, rely on this perfect easy bean burger recipe made in a one bowl....
If I had to pick just one noodle dish to eat for the rest of my life, it would be this one. The noodle sauce is tomato-based. However it tastes different from any tomato sauce you’ve ever tried because of the added dry ingredients. The lily flowers and shiitake mushrooms add tons of veggie essence that make the sauce extra rich and full of umami. The sauce is so rich that you actually can turn it into a very flavorful vegan dish by simply skipping the pork and shrimp....
Published on July 22, 2011 I am always looking for new cookies to try, especially cookies that involve toffee. I have a special place in my heart for toffee cookies. They are the best! So when I saw Aimee’s recipe on Tasty Kitchen for Toffee Crunch Cookies, I knew I had to make them. I got out all of the ingredients to make the cookies and realized there was actually no toffee in the recipe....

Updated November 10, 2017 Josh always puts turkey on his, but I stick to all veggies. We just use what we have on hand, but some of my favorites are: zucchini, eggplant, yellow squash, mushrooms, roasted peppers, onions, tomatoes, and artichokes. I LOVE loading on the veggies. The sandwich smashes down so it is good to start with a mile high panini! We use whole wheat ciabatta rolls from a local bakery....
Updated March 26, 2019 Cookies that Make you Eat Them! Are you ready for another cookie recipe? I sure hope so, becasue these Vegan Chocolate Coconut Cookies are calling your name. And trust me, when they call out to you, you listen. I made a batch and they wouldn’t stop shouting my name. They insisted that I eat them! Every time I walked past the cookie container on the counter, I could hear these chocolate coconut cookies begging me to eat them....
No plates or cutlery needed. I just love the flavour of fresh, almost sweet zucchini with creamy, tangy goat’s cheese. You could toast the bread in advance and keep in an airtight container and the zucchini can be prepared up to 30 minutes in advance. Simply assemble and serve. This recipe is from my new book Cook from the heart
Today I am sharing another savory recipe with Zucchini and Chickpea. One of my blog visitors had recently asked for a good way to prepare a dish with Zucchini. It is such a pleasure when I get a request like that from my visitors. I agree to be sent email. After all, with so many cooking options, it is easy to overlook some vegetables. Now that the winter is behind us, Zucchini is a prime option for the spring and summer months....
We love a good vegan pasta recipe around here! I make my Vegan Lasagna, Vegan Butternut Squash Pasta and Vegan Spinach and Artichoke Pasta on the regular. Eating super yummy food that pleases the belly and soul doesn’t have to require a bunch of ingredients and doesn’t have to be expensive. You guys know I’m the bargain queen! Today’s plant-powered Creamy Vegan Tomato Basil Pasta requires six simple ingredients and is packed not only with the most fab flavor, but also veggies to boot!...
Even though Halloween isn’t celebrated to such length in South Africa as in the USA, I still love the idea of all the festivity. That’s why the kids and I make a few Halloween recipes every year to join in on the fun. This year we made 3 new Halloween recipes (the poison toffee apples are an old favourite around these parts). As you’ll know if you’ve been reading Simply Delicious for a while, I love all things pastry....
Bitter melon with eggs is one of my favorite homestyle dishes. I didn’t like bitter melon when I was a kid, due to its bitter taste. But I grew to like the taste as I grew up, just like I started to like the bitterness of coffee. When I just started working, my mom would always pack lunch for me. Bitter melon with eggs was always on the weekly rotation because it took no time to put together and I just love to eat it with rice....
While I can definitely get behind sautéing onion in olive oil for 30 minutes, today we’re going for the fastest, easiest, most miraculous creamy tomato soup recipe ever! We’re ditching the typical heavy cream addition and using humble cashews instead, which create a lusciously smooth soup done in mere minutes. Is this even real?!
