Updated October 13, 2019 Today, I am throwing it back. I am sharing the most popular recipe on our site, Homemade Soft Pretzel Bites.

They are perfect for parties, snacking, and game day. We are making them for the big game on Sunday and I can’t wait....
When you open the menu of a big restaurant in China, chances are you’ll come across a small section listing extremely expensive dishes with exquisite names. For example, bird nest soup, shark fin stew, and braised sea cucumber. These dishes can cost hundreds of dollars for a small bowl, and they may look very plain, like a regular bowl of chicken soup. Today I want to take you on a tour to a lesser-known part of Chinese cuisine by introducing one of the most popular food items for female beauty – Chinese bird nest....
This creamy and flavorsome sauce is perfect for any pasta dish; your kids will love it, too! I say creamy, but this delicious recipe was created with no heavy cream or butter!

Like my other pumpkin recipes, this pumpkin sauce is made from scratch with simple and healthy ingredients....
I adapted the banana cake recipe from my new book and the end result was a beautifully moist, incredibly flavoured cupcake. I used tinned crushed pineapple (with all its liquid) which kept everything moist and the coconut added just the right amount of texture. I topped the cupcakes with a lemony cream cheese frosting and dried pineapple flowers which might require a little effort but the end result is so beautiful (and delicious) that I will make these again and again....
And with the convenience of an electric pressure cooker like the Instant Pot, this dish becomes even more delicious and quick to make. You may recall corn chowder to come with heavy cream, but I am here to share the vegan recipe for this creamy soup that uses no dairy, corn starch, or even coconut cream. Yet, there is no sacrifice in taste or consistency. I agree to be sent email....
I stared at the word for a while before I opened it, just kind of thinking. I glanced at the “from” line and my mind reverted back to that lively red-headed girl that bounced into Alchemy a couple years ago. I vividly remembered her enthusiasm and innocence and hunger for so much more than I knew then. My heart felt heavy and I considered not opening it. I knew what it would say but I didn’t want it to be real yet....
Updated September 21, 2022 Key Lime Pie with Coconut Macaroon Crust-the sweet coconut macaroon crust makes this key lime pie extra special!

Khara Bath or masala bath is one of the popular breakfasts in south India, especially Karnataka. It is usually served with a side of coconut or tomato chutney and a small serving of Sweet Rava Kesari. I agree to be sent email. Just like Upma, the base for this Khara bath recipe is coarse or fine semolina. If you are unable to have wheat-based Rava or semolina, you can make the same recipe with oats or even Polenta....
It’s official. This here purty bread packed to the brim with banana goodness is my MOST favorite banana bread to date. Ya, we’re going there.

Ingredients Chicken thighs. I used bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. Any bone-in chicken pieces can be used as substitute. Boneless skinless chicken thighs or chicken breasts can be used too, they will just cook much faster. Rosemary. Other fresh herbs like thyme, parsley and oregano work well with chicken. Fresh garlic cloves. Lemon. Smoked paprika. Other spices like garlic powder, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes/chilli flakes, etc. can be used too....
Published on December 10, 2013 This adventure was proudly made possible by Subaru. Find yours today. I have been snowboarding since I started attending the University of Utah. We are lucky we live so close to such beautiful mountains and the perfect powder. Utah snow really is the best on Earth. We get this incredibly light, fluffy, air filled snow here. This summer Caleb and I rode the Tram at Snowbird several times in anticipation of ski season....
Updated March 26, 2019 We had a great time in San Francisco and visiting family in California. We were gone for a week and are happy to be home, but I am struggling with getting back into my routine. I was going to use the weekend to get caught up on work, laundry, and errands, but instead we played. We acted like we were still on vacation. I went on a trail run up the mountain with a friend, we took the boys fishing, went on a picnic, and went to a friend’s cabin....
Updated March 26, 2019 We’ve had a seasonably warm fall, which I’ve been loving because I am not ready for snow, but I have been craving that crisp, cool air.

A cozy sweater, jeans, boots, and a bowl of Mushroom Quinoa Soup, that is what fall is all about!...

We all love soup season because let’s be honest, what’s not to love? The weather cools down, the leaves turn all shades of orange and we get to spend cozy nights in. Fall isn’t fall without a big pot of soup simmering away on the stove. I LOVE soup and it’s one of the things I’m most excited about when the seasons change. I’m also not fussy about soup. Smooth and creamy?...

Updated October 13, 2019 The big debate…is it pumpkin season? Some people are ready for pumpkin the day after Labor Day, some people want to wait until October…and I am sure there are people who never want to see pumpkin in ALL the things, but I can’t be friends with those people because pumpkin is my FAVORITE. I look forward to pumpkin season all year long so I can make pumpkin everything....
The toasty almonds, the sweet golden raisins (which may I add are far superior to regular raisins), the simple lemony dressing…I can’t even.I think this would be over the top fab with avocado and some feta, but I wanted to keep it vegan-friendly for Alchemy customers since some of our other salads are full o’ feta. Avocado browning in a kale salad kind of ruins the whole yumtastic image of this healthy salad, but feel free to add it in at home if you’re eating it the same day!...
