Updated July 05, 2019 I don’t bake cupcakes very often, but today is a special occasion. Today we are celebrating our good friend Kristan! Kristan, who blogs at Confessions of a Cookbook Queen, is due to have a sweet baby girl any day now and today is her virtual baby shower! Yay! Kristan loves cupcakes and the color pink…and since she is having a baby girl, I figured Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Raspberry Buttercream Frosting would be the perfect treat to bring to her baby shower....
Published on February 21, 2013 I am not a skier. I know we live in Utah with the best powder on Earth, but I’ve only been skiing twice in my entire life. The last time I went skiing my loving brother took me up a blue run and took off with his buddies. He said it would be easy, but he was wrong. I was scared to death. Luckily, a snowmobiler drove by and I flagged him down....
Ingredients and Substitutions Carrots. I used regular large carrots that I peeled and chopped but this recipe can be made with baby carrots too. Extra-virgin olive oil. Avocado oil or canola oil are good alternatives. Salt and black pepper. I chose to keep this recipe super simple so it goes with a variety of main dishes but feel free to play around with seasonings. Spices like cumin, paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, coriander and curry powder are delicious on carrots....
Ingredients Chickpeas/garbanzo beans. Butter + Vegetable oil. Use vegan butter if you’d prefer to keep this recipe vegan. Onion. Fresh garlic. Fresh ginger. Spices: I prefer using a combination of Garam Masala, turmeric, paprika, cardamom, cumin and coriander. You can however use any curry powder/blend that you have or like. Tomatoes. I used tomato puree (not paste). Passata can also work. Chopped tomatoes are also fine but I prefer the rich, smoothness the puree adds....
So you know by now that I love a cooking shortcut. Especially on weeknights when no-one has time to spend hours in the kitchen. And this easy chicken tikka masala thighs recipe is right up my alley. Not only does it use chicken thighs, which I LOVE, the easy tikka masala paste you slather them in results in the most delicious, finger-licking chicken. It’s the kind of recipe I prep in the morning while I have a second and the marinade gets to work its magic throughout the day and then around 45 mins before dinner time I just pop the chicken thighs into a hot oven and serve the juicy, aromatic chicken with pillowy naan bread, some cucumber raita and a quick chopped salad....

Ingredients The pork belly itself requires very little prep, making this pork belly taco recipe super easy to make. I use sliced pork belly (you can ask your butcher to slice boneless pork belly into slices for you) but you can use a whole pork belly too. To season the pork belly I used my homemade taco seasoning which adds just the right amount of heat. You could add any toppings/fillings to these tacos but I love the shredded cabbage for crunch and a creamy, spicy sauce along with fresh jalapeños, lime and coriander/cilantro....

I blame the mind-blowing fabulousness of this soup recipe on my new kitchen. I went through this looooong phase recently of having next to no interest in cooking. There was a while there where we ate out for nearly every meal. Even breakfast. CAN YOU EVEN? Cooking, which was always the foundation of my passion, became a bit of a chore. I didn’t want to dust and I didn’t want to make dinner....
Errrmygerrrrd my love for cashews just grew like tenfold.

Hi and bye. It was a happy day when Oh She Glows Every Day: Quick and Simple Satisfying Plant-based Recipes landed in my mailbox. I have a love love relationship with Oh She Glows....

Beef tongue belongs in the category of foods that you wonder, why on earth someone would want to eat it, and once you taste it, you hate yourself for not having tried it sooner. In this post, I introduced: After 30 years of living in China, there’s no piece of offal that seems strange to me. However, I don’t usually cook with offal (except pork feet). My mom was not at all enthusiastic about me cooking with offal....

If you’re intimidated by Chinese cooking, you’re not alone! Even though I was born in and grew up in China, I couldn’t do a proper stir fry for years, and sometimes I still screw things up at home. Getting familiar with a new cuisine and learning to cook with a wok can be very challenging. That’s why I’ve been focusing on easier approaches when it comes to cooking Chinese takeout....
