There are few things as indulgently delicious as a cinnamon roll. A giant swirl of dough filled with cinnamon sugar, baked until golden brown then smothered in cream cheese frosting? Uh, yes please! It’s the perfect recipe for the holidays because the buns can be made the night before and baked the morning before serving. We also love putting a twist on the cream cheese frosting for Christmas. These rolls are elevated by the addition of warming chai spices in the icing....
Updated March 26, 2019 I love eating healthy because I eat tasty, delicious, nutritious foods!! I also eat in moderation, sure a brownie topped with ice cream isn’t the best choice, but if it is only on occasion, I say go for it! And I do!! Plus, I watch my portion sizes, if I want chips and salsa, I will have some, I just won’t eat the whole bag:) And of course I have to stick in my plug for exercise, just do it....
There is something incredibly wonderful about homemade ice cream sandwiches. It appeals to both kids and adults alike (I mean is there anything that screams childhood more than an ice cream sandwich?) and can be made using any ice cream and any type of cookie. These coconut oatmeal cookies have been a family fav for as long as I can remember so sandwiching a scoop of vanilla ice cream in between white chocolate-coated cookies is pretty much just my idea of heaven....
Updated September 11, 2019 I have been baking cookies all month long and the boys have been great little taste testers. I got the butter out the other day and Caleb said, “Are you baking MORE cookies?” He caught me red handed:) I was going to bake another batch of cookies, but Caleb asked if we could make muffins instead. He loves muffins! I loved the idea so we switched things up and made Cranberry Orange Muffins....

Ingredients Beef stroganoff is a great comfort food dish and this mushroom version is a fantastic vegetarian alternative. Flavored with all the same aromatics as it’s meatier sibling, this mushroom stroganoff is so delicious and you won’t even miss the beef. Onion. Fresh garlic cloves. Mushrooms. Use a variety of mushrooms for the best flavor. Cremini mushrooms, Portobello, white button mushrooms, shiitake, etc. Fresh thyme. Flour. Substitute with gluten-free flour, if needed....
Black bean soup recipes are a dime a dozen…but! What sets this splendid soup apart is that it has a brothy meets creamy base (versus your standard spiced tomato broth situation). Like my Cashew Cream of Mushroom Soup and Vegan Tortilla Soup with black beans, there is something about a touch of creaminess in soup that makes me crave it like, ten times more. The healthy fats in the cashew cream also add a satiating factor that makes this feel more meal-worthy, ya know?...

To fo or not to fu. That is not the question. If you love my Vegetable Curry, Butternut Squash Curry and Shrimp Curry, you’ll love this too! The question is why on God’s green earth is it two degrees outside and I haven’t even eaten pumpkin pie yet?! The seasons have officially pissed me off. The only good thing that has resulted from this polar vortex is the more frequent use of my beloved crockpot....

A while ago I was browsing through one of my French cookbooks when a dish of soft, creamy potatoes drenched in oozy cheese caught my eye. Tartiflette. What a beautiful word. I am no stranger to tartiflette and have made a version of it for years but as it is very hard to find good Reblochon cheese in South Africa, I usually substitute with brie or camembert to give me a similar creaminess....
Updated September 24, 2020 Easy Candied Walnuts My dad loves walnuts and always kept a jar of walnuts in our pantry. I was never a huge walnut fan until he introduced me to candied walnuts. Candying the walnuts transforms regular old walnuts into sugary, crunchy, sweet walnuts that are 100% addicting! It’s amazing what a little sugar will do! I love this candied walnuts recipe because you make them on the stove top and not in the oven....
Is there anything more glorious than a soft, fresh dinner roll slathered in garlicky-oregano butter? I think not. And I know that baking your own bread rolls might seem like a mission to many people but honestly, these easy dinner rolls come together in no time at all and they are SO worth it. I use my stand mixer to make the dough from scratch which comes in especially handy when you’re in a hurry but you can definitely knead the dough by hand if you wanted to....
I am relying heavily on easy, one-pot (where possible) recipes lately and this shrimp and rice recipe with garlic butter has been a delicious constant in my kitchen. I love buying good quality frozen shrimp/prawns and having them on stand-by in my freezer for dinner emergencies. They come in super handy with easy recipes like this one paired with rice and another freezer staple, frozen peas. This shrimp and rice recipe has a strong paella influence because it is one of my all-time favorite recipes but this version is a gazillion times easier and doesn’t require as many ingredients....
Ingredients Salami sandwiches are some of the most delicious out there. Layering the salty salami with Italian flavors will be a guaranteed hit. I used jarred Caponata (an Italian dish cooked with eggplant/aubergine and tomatoes) that is often served as an antipasto and added a generous layer to a big loaf of olive bread. The saucy Caponata soaks into the bread and adds a ton of flavor to the sandwich along with tomatoes, cheese and fresh arugula/rocket....

So why not give this unique flatbread a try? You won’t be disappointed!. Spinach paratha a.k.a “Palak Paratha” is delightfully delicious, incredibly interesting, and positively portable! It is nothing but a normal chapati dough that is kneaded with spinach puree....
Those of you who have been reading Simply Delicious for a while will know that I am a serious fan of one-pan chicken dishes. It is what I feed my family when I have zero inspiration and even less time and it is what I fall back on weekly when faced with the dreaded “what are we eating for dinner?”. It’s safe to say the Ryders pretty much run on easy chicken dishes, salad and the odd creamy pasta dish or two....

Updated March 26, 2019 I love working from home. Some people ask me if I get bored, but there isn’t time to be bored. I am so busy with the blog, freelance work, and of course our adorable baby. It is hard to find time during the day to take a break, but I try to treat myself to a lunch break every day. Caleb usually naps around noon, so it is my opportunity to make a tasty lunch and relax for a bit....
