However, store bought granola can be full of sugar, salt and oil so I prefer making my own. It helps that homemade granola is one of the easiest recipes you can make. Mix all the ingredients up in a big bowl then bake until golden and crisp. Store in a jar and voila....
Lately after I scarf down a hugh jass dinner of veggie burgs or noodlies or enchiladas plus three million roasted sweet tater rounds, I stillll want something sweet afterwards. I mean duh. Don’t you?? And sometimes, just sometimes, a piece of dark chocolate doesn’t cut it. WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY?!

Updated March 26, 2019 French Toast Sticks – a Childhood Favorite Our Cinnamon Streusel Pancakes are one of our all-time favorite breakfast treats. They are soooo good! I am normally a French toast kind of gal though. If we go out to eat for breakfast, I almost always order French toast. We don’t make French toast a lot at home though. I don’t know why…probably because Caleb always asks for pancakes and waffles....
First of all: Fried chicken. Who can say no to a piece of juicy, tender chicken encased in a crisp coating? I used the same recipe I did for my Crispy Juicy Fried Chicken, I just used boneless chicken breasts instead of chicken pieces. It’s important to keep the skin on the breast though. The skin gives the chicken more flavour but also allows the coating to stick better. Pair this with creamy coleslaw and a buttered brioche roll and you have sandwich nirvana....
Today I want to share my interpretation of General Tso’s Chicken that yields a great taste like the restaurant version, but is more practical for any cook to make in their home kitchen. The best things about this recipe are: You will use much less oil to cook the chicken. No deep-frying required. The chicken will end up super crispy and stay that way, even after it’s been tossed in the sauce....

Updated November 10, 2017 Florida is very hot and humid though. I grew up in Illinois, but I have been living in Utah for nine years. I forgot what the humidity is like. Let’s just say I haven’t missed it. It is pretty brutal! At least we can cool off in the pool or ocean! I haven’t done any cooking or baking. I am on vacation:) We have made sandwiches, cut watermelon, poured bowls of cereal, and Josh grilled out last night, but that is it....
Hi hi hello! These cookies are evvverythinggggg. Buttery and fluffy and soft and peanuty and filled with the most gorg pool of dark chocolate in the middle… I MEAN what more do you need in life? Let me be honest with you, though. As a total cookie lover and peanut butter fanatic, peanut butter cookies were never my go-to.

The fact that I bought an actual squash for this recipe versus getting the pre-cut bag of fresh or frozen squash is nothing short of miraculous. I couldn’t leave you wondering if a half or a third or who knows how much of a squash yields 4 cups chopped so here we are. I didn’t lose an arm while making this recipe and all is well in the world. We love curry around here!...
Stuffing without bread? Blasphemy. Bread is quite possibly my favorite food, as evidenced by the Spinach Mushroom Stuffing and Pomegranate Za’atar Stuffing I make every year (drenched in my Vegan Mushroom Gravy). But what about a gluten free stuffing to pacify Aunt Sally? A low carb dressing for cousin Bob? A little something for your keto cousin Karen? Cauliflower couldn’t be more different from bread, I get it! But this stuffing is so insanely delicious in its own right....

This time of year, I live for for a fresh, vibrant salad with pops of juicy flavor and texture from all the farmer’s fruits and veggies. We’re talking peaches, corn, blueberries, cucumber and…mint! Parsley! Lemon! I’m singing right now. Ingredients Quinoa: The star!...

Napa cabbage, also known as Chinese cabbage, is called Bai Cai (directly translates as “white cabbage”) in China. Compared to regular cabbage, napa cabbage is bigger and longer. The leaves have a white thick part that is quite crisp and juicy. The leaves are more wrinkled than regular cabbage and they turn tender after cooking. It is a very versatile vegetable and one of the most popular vegetables in Northern China, where I was born and grew up....
Chili oil is such an important staple for Chinese families, equal to soy sauce and vinegar. For many Chinese people chili oil is as important as ketchup is to American people. It always shows up on tables of small diners, no matter whether it’s a dumplings or noodle place. Once you’re hooked, you’ll want to pour it on everything. Whenever I’m talking about chili oil, I always refer to homemade chili oil....

Although kung pao chicken is the one of the most popular dishes that uses kung pao sauce, kung pao shrimp is something I crave once in a while when I want seafood cooked in a bold sauce. My version of kung pao shrimp uses a rich kung pao sauce that I ate growing up. It uses Chinkiang vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, chili pepper and peppercorns to create a rich yet well balanced taste....
