The creaminess that is this Vegan Butternut Squash Pasta….holy moly butternut guacamole. I could live off cashews. I blend them into anything and everything because they legitimately make everything taste way better! Cashews are the star of my Creamy Cajun Pasta, Cream of Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup, Spaghetti Squash with Tomato Basil Cream Sauce, and Enchiladas with Cashew Sour Cream. It’s time for another episode of pasta-is-the-perfect-blank-canvas. Protein, fiber, oodles of vitamins and minerals…100% whole grain pasta has it all, my friends....

Updated April 02, 2020 This post is in partnership with Kroger, but our opinions are our own. I love trying new foods, flavors, and recipes, but I also love and appreciate the basics. You know, the foods you crave on a regular basis and the recipes you make over and over again. The classics, the staples, the every day good food. The food that feels like home. A few of my standards include: oatmeal, peanut butter, banana, and honey sandwiches, cottage cheese with fruit, pasta, cereal, and Avocado Toast with Eggs, Spinach, and Tomatoes....

Updated May 20, 2020 I made these Brown Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Bars for a friend’s party a few weeks ago and they were a hit. I promised my friends I would get them the recipe, but I keep forgetting to text them. Oops! So you all benefit today because I am sharing the recipe on the blog. They get the recipe, you get the recipe, everyone wins! If you don’t think you are winning, make these bars and you will change your mind....

Sweet rice balls, or Tang Yuan (汤圆), are quite similar to mochi. The dough is made with sticky rice flour to create a soft and gooey texture. It is often filled with a sweet filling, such as peanut, sweet bea, or sesame. Different from mochi, sweet rice balls are boiled and then served in soup. When they are cooked, the rice balls turn very tender. If you use the peanut or black sesame filling, the filling will be runny and have a melty, buttery mouthfeel....

When I first started baking bread, brioche was the one thing I found completely daunting. I feel the same way about brioche as I do about croissants. I love eating them but I don’t want to make them myself. But let me tell you, homemade brioche is a thing of absolute beauty. Bubble-topped and begging to be sliced into. As you slice into the still-warm loaf, you’ll be met with a burst of steam with the aroma of butter and yeast....

Published on December 12, 2022 Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies-soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies with chocolate chunks, nutty browned butter, and a sprinkle of sea salt. This chocolate chip cookie recipe is guaranteed to be a family favorite! But have you tried a Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie? The browned butter takes the cookies to a whole new level. The cookies are soft, chewy, and the brown butter adds caramel and slightly nutty notes that give the cookies the BEST flavor....

Ingredients Zucchini. Courgette/baby marrow. Summer squash can be substituted. Corn. I used frozen and thawed corn but fresh or canned will also work. Cheese. I used cheddar but Parmesan cheese or Gruyere will also work. Flour. Baking powder. Salt. Sugar. Eggs. Milk. Fresh herbs. I used chives and basil but fresh dill, parsley, green onions and mint can also be used. Other flavorings like fresh garlic/garlic powder can also be used....

Are you ready for some chicken Caesar magic? Because this might look like a normal chicken Caesar sandwich but that creamy dressing you see right there? It’s not quite what you think it is. A few months ago I was browsing YouTube (which is totally an addiction of mine, btw) and came across a delectable chicken Caesar salad by everyone’s favourite, Jamie Oliver. Now, Jamie can do no wrong in my book and when I saw how he made a lightened up but still totally indulgent Caesar dressing, I loved him just that little bit more....

Ingredient and Substitutions Rotisserie chicken. Substitute with cooked and shredded chicken breasts. I love using rotisserie chicken for pot pie because the chicken is so flavorful and half of the work has been done for me. Vegetables: I used onions, carrots, celery and frozen peas. Bell peppers, potatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, corn, green beans or cauliflower will all be delicious too. Use a bag of frozen mixed vegetables for ease. Sauce: I used my simple béchamel sauce/white sauce recipe....

Delicious, fall-off-the-bone tender, and finger-licking good Chinese BBQ ribs are the way to shake things up for the holidays and other special occasions. Plus, they make delightful leftovers if you’re lucky enough to have any left! {Gluten-Free Adaptable} Whenever I talk to anybody about Chinese food, by far, the most adored option seems to be Char siu pork, or Chinese BBQ pork. Everyone loves this dim sum classic with tender meat coated in a sweet savory sticky glaze....

Chinese celery and peanut salad is a classic homestyle dish that is served as an appetizer, often paired with beer. The peanuts always start out raw. They get simmered with plenty of aromatics and spices. Cinnamon, star anise and Sichuan peppercorns are used to create a warm flavor profile, with ginger and garlic to add plenty of aroma. If you’re used to crispy peanuts, this dish might sound strange since you’ll be braising the peanuts in liquid....

I was a brownie girl for three decades. If the question was desert, the answer was chocolate. But I can say with confidence that I took a turn to the cookie side with age. Healthier Snickerdoodles, Ginger Molasses Cookies, Peanut Butter Blossoms…I mean does it get any better? But for the past few months, rich and gooey chocolate chip cookies with salt on top are all I want after dinner....

Updated March 26, 2019 Did you know July is National Ice Cream Month? Well, it is and it’s time to celebrate. I like ice cream however it is scooped up-in a cup, cone, straight out of the carton, or in a Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Ice Cream Bowl. That’s right, a Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Bowl-an ice cream bowl that you can eat! When my sister-in-law, Whitney, came to visit she made these for dessert one night and we’ve been making them ever since....

Ingredients These crispy chicken thighs couldn’t be easier to make. The chicken itself requires only salt and pepper. The lemon caper sauce is also super simple and consists of capers, lemon, herbs (chives and parsley), olive oil, garlic, salt and black pepper. I cook the chicken on the stove top but you could finish the thighs in a hot oven or air fryer if you preferred. Bone-in chicken thighs. I used skin-on chicken thighs but any cut of chicken will work, the cooking time will just need to be adjusted....

How to make chicken salad Use any leftover cooked chicken or poach chicken breasts in stock flavored with lemon rind, garlic and pepper until just cooked then shred and allow to cool. Finely dice celery (de-seeded cucumber and fennel are good substitutes), apple (or grapes) and red onion and add to the chicken along with flaked/sliced almonds. To make the dressing, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, curry powder or garam masala of your choice, lemon juice, salt and pepper....
