Updated June 22, 2016 I am always looking for new cookie recipes to try. Yes, I am well aware that I have a cookie obsession and I am 100% ok with that. I recently stumbled upon a recipe for Oreo Cheesecake Cookies on Tasty Kitchen and knew I had to try them. This recipe comes from Heather of multiplydelicious. The cookies are insanely delicious. An Oreo cookie crushed up inside another cookie, plus cream cheese!...
Updated March 26, 2019 Our neighbors gave us a huge bag of pears from their pear tree. I accepted the bag with open arms. I love pears! I’ve already made a Pear Galette and we have been enjoying Pear, Brie, and Honey Quesadillas for lunch. I also made a batch of homemade Pear Sauce. I posted a photo on Instagram and several people asked for the recipe. We aim to please, so today I am sharing my recipe for Easy Pear Sauce!...
So here’s the deal with this cake: It’s pretty much diet food. What else do you call a cake that contains TWO vegetables and a fruit? Well, you could also call it delicious. Or amazing. Or the-best-cake-you’ve-ever-tasted. Whatevs. The most important thing is that you don’t feel guilty when you eat one (or two or three or four) slice(s) of this incredible pumpkin carrot cake. And believe me, eating numerous slices isn’t all that hard....
Updated October 04, 2019 Pumpkin Chocolate Chip I love pumpkin season because I get to bake up two of my all-time favorite pumpkin treats, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and pumpkin chocolate chip bread. You can’t go wrong with the classic pumpkin chocolate chip combo. Well, this year I have a new favorite pumpkin chocolate chip treat, Pumpkin Energy Balls. And the best part? They are healthy and only take a few minutes to make....
Updated July 03, 2022 My dad’s cinnamon rolls are hands down the BEST cinnamon rolls in the universe. I shared my dad’s recipe on our blog years and years ago when my dad was probably the only one reading our blog. The post includes pictures of my dad making cinnamon rolls and the recipe. My dad didn’t care at the time because he didn’t think anyone would actually read the post and see his picture, but now his cinnamon roll recipe is the most popular recipe on our site....
Along the lines of re-sharing vegan versions of old recipes, today’s dessert will leave you in awe over the fact that Indian desserts do not need ghee after all. I cannot time the rava ladoo recipe any better because it is one of the popular recipes for the Ganesh Chaturthi festival in India. And I am preparing Rava Ladoo or Sooji Laddu to celebrate this festival. I agree to be sent email....
Updated November 13, 2011 I made a classic brownie recipe and added some mint chips to the batter. The chips melted away so you couldn’t even tell mint was involved until you took a bite. The mint burst was pretty powerful with the chocolate, but I loved it! I cut the brownies into tiny squares and dusted them with powdered sugar. You can make these in your sleep! This is a great recipe to have on hand!...
Updated June 01, 2020 You know those nights when you don’t know what to make for dinner and aren’t feeling motivated to make dinner? Yeah, we have those nights too. Well, when it’s one of those nights, I like to turn to Rigatoni with Sausage because it’s easy to make and one of my boys’ favorite meals. Plus, we always have pasta in our pantry, pasta always saves the day and who doesn’t love pasta?...
My whole kitchen smelled like…butter. Not fruit. Butter. Like I had just baked a rather large batch of buttery donuts. But I hadn’t! I don’t know why or how roasted strawbs make you feel like you’re going to open the oven and find that they’ve transformed into a buttery baked good, but they most certainly do. They evoke feelings of fried dough. I have so many feelings about the aroma of roasted strawberries!...
Updated May 16, 2011 I usually serve this dressing on mixed greens with candied nuts and fruit. Almonds are my nut of choice but pecans and walnuts are good too. Any fruit will work, but I like using pears or apples, red grapes, and of course Craisins! They make the salad pretty and add a nice sweetness. Go crazy and add some feta cheese too! It makes it really good!...
It’s a sensitive little kernal thang. It’s there for you at the movies when all you want is for the hot-salty-crunchy-goodness to take over the space in your brain that your recent breakup is rudely occupying. It’s there for you when you’re studying and you want a healthy snack with energizing B vitamins. It can be salty. It can be sweet. It can make your life complete. But seriously. Popcorn has got to be the simplest snack of them all....
I love a simple cocktail that can be thrown together in a flash and delivers big on flavor. My Santa’s Milk cocktail is exactly that. The ingredients are mostly pantry or fridge staples and you can easily use regular vodka instead of vanilla vodka. So easy, so delicious! Sweetened condensed milk. Cream liqueur. Bailey’s, Amarula or any other cream liqueur of your choice. Vanilla vodka. Regular vodka can be substituted....
Celebrate the holidays with slow roasted turkey legs that are tender and juicy with a rich flavorful Chinese-inspired spice mix, cooked in one pan with potatoes and carrots. The recipe is so easy to put together and it takes very little active cooking time. It is perfect for celebrating with a smaller crowd or hosting any gathering or dinner party. {Gluten-Free} Why this recipe My recipe steam roasts the legs at a lower temperature, melting the tough tendons and sinews while keeping the meat juicy....

Capers/caper berries. Salmon caviar/salmon roe. Fresh lemon slices. To serve: I served this salad with my garlic buttermilk dressing but use any salad dressing of your choice. I also like adding slices of seed bread/rye bread. How to make smoked salmon salad On a large platter, place the lettuce in a wreath-shape....
Us South Africans are a proud bunch. We love pretty much everything about our country but something I am often reminded about by friends who have emigrated to other countries, is that our weather is simply the best (no jokes) and there is nothing like South African food. Those who now live in Australia, the UK and the States often reminisce about our braais, biltong, koeksisters and bunny chows. They miss Pap en Vleis and Melktert....
In honor of the New Year, I whipped up a delectable appetizer for you to serve alongside your bubbly. I love these because they’re simple but still super unique thanks to the roasted grapes (which taste fancy pants but are not complicated). Sweet potato rounds make the perfect party app. Let’s chat ingredients! This festive starter comes together in no time since we’re roasting the sweet taters and grapes in the oven at the same time....
Published on September 29, 2017 Last weekend, I traveled to Round Top, Texas to speak at a workshop at The Vintage Round Top. You probably have heard about Round Top, Texas because it is the home of one of the best antique shows in the world. The show was going on while I was there and WHOA! Talk about antique heaven. The show happens every spring and fall and if you ever get the chance to go, GO!...
Updated March 26, 2019 I have a special treat for you today, Toffee Ice Cream Brownie Bars. I made this dessert a few weeks ago for a dinner party and it is my new favorite dessert. Hands down the best dessert I’ve made this summer. You can’t go wrong with brownies, ice cream, and toffee. All of my favorites! And the best part? You can make this in advance so it is perfect for summer entertaining....
I have a knack for creamy soups sans cream. Cashews are simply a dream. I’m a poet and I didn’t even know it! But seriously…if you’ve graced your face with my internet-famous Creamy Broccoli Cauliflower Soup or Cashew Cream of Mushroom Soup, you that know packing in the veg, flavor, and texture is the name of the Hummusapien game. Heavy cream is so yesterday. It’s oh so creamy but still retains a delightful chunky texture....
I knew Nashville would be cute and fun and delish and a nice little break from a reality that as of late has been…more than overwhelming. What I didn’t know was that I would stay at the best Airbnb, eat the most scrumptious food, and experience one of the kindest, cleanest, prettiest, cities all at once. My sister and I flew my mom out last Labor Day weekend for her 60th birthday (sorry I just revealed your age, Mother)....
