Updated March 26, 2019 We love making garlic knots and the last time we made them I got the idea to make a sweet version. You know me, always thinking about sweets:) I decided a cinnamon roll version was the way to go. My dad makes the BEST homemade cinnamon rolls, but I don’t always have time to make them. These Easy Cinnamon Roll Knots are great for when you are craving cinnamon rolls, but are short on time…or just feeling lazy:) Don’t be fooled, these Cinnamon Roll Knots look impressive, but let me tell you a little secret....

For an easy orzo side dish, try our Lemon Parmesan Creamy Orzo. What you need to make this recipe Chicken. I used leftover roasted chicken for this soup recipe. I often make it with rotisserie chicken as well which makes it fuss-free and prep is kept to a minimum. If you want to roast chicken for this soup, drizzle chicken breasts with olive oil and season generously then roast in a hot oven (or in the air fryer) for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and just cooked....

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you know that fried rice is my favorite dinner dish. In my world, fried rice should be super easy to make and require minimal prep. Because the goal of the dish is always to use leftovers from the fridge and create a hearty one-bowl meal. It doesn’t make sense to me if you need to chop and prep for 20 minutes to make fried rice....

Updated March 26, 2019 We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. We enjoyed watching Caleb wake up on Christmas morning to open presents. Of course, he loved the boxes and paper just as much as the gifts. We spent the rest of the day in the kitchen and relaxing with family. It was a perfect day. If you still have family and friends visiting and are looking for an easy recipe to feed your guests, make this Hillshire Farm Sausage and Potato Bake....

I had a version of this beef tagliata recipe at a friend’s birthday lunch recently and fell head-over-heels in love with it. The recipe she used was from the Tasha’s Cookbook (a very popular chain of restaurants in South Africa and the Middle East). Her recipe used sundried tomatoes and soy sauce which is just perfect with the meaty steak. The umami-richness brought to the party by both the soy and tomatoes is just fantastic....

We all need recipes that we can call on on the days that the kids are screaming at you from the bath, everyone wants to know what’s for dinner (including you…) and the dog’s barking is driving you mad. Recipes that get dinner on the table in mere minutes. This vegetable chow mein recipe is just that. And the beauty of it is that you can literally use any vegetables you have in the fridge....

My absolute favourite lazy weekend breakfast is most definitely Eggs Benedict. In fact, Eggs Benedict is my favourite breakfast of all time. As I’ve done it a few times before, I wanted to give it a new spin. I love the idea of serving Eggs Benedict on something other than an English muffin and I’ve been experimenting with a whole host of things lately. I’ve served them on roasted brown mushrooms for a low-carb treat and I’ve tried different breads but without-a-doubt my favourite has been these hash browns....

But listen, deciding on a party theme for their birthday was no easy task. We went all over the place from Minecraft and Video games to Unicorns and a Hawaiian Luau. It was eventually Abi who said “Hey, what about an Emoji party?” and I immediately jumped on the band wagon. It’s such a fun birthday party theme and I knew there would be no shortage of inspiration online. Still, I wanted a little help so I enlisted the services of Marissa from Konfetti Love to help with the decor and you guys, she did such a fantastic job....

Ingredients needed This tomato bruschetta recipe couldn’t be simpler, which is why you need to use the very best quality ingredients you can find. Using in-season, ripe tomatoes is key. A good tip to ripen tomatoes that aren’t already at their peak is to leave them on the counter at room temperature for a few days before you need to use them. This even works for almost-green tomatoes and I’ve used this tip when I’ve wanted to ripe tomatoes, even in winter....

Updated March 26, 2019 The temperatures are dropping which means it’s time for comfort food.

Pasta is one of my favorite comfort foods and this Creamy Goat Cheese Pasta with Spinach and Roasted Mushrooms is comforting to the very last bite. This is a great weeknight dinner recipe because it is easy to make and tastes so good after a long day of work....

Each cuisine has its own specialties. Growing up in Beijing, I’m confident and proud to say that Chinese cuisine has many great eggplant dishes. My recipe Chinese Eggplant with Garlic Sauce, a simple vegetarian stir fried dish that features crispy eggplant with a rich sauce, has been the most popular recipe on my blog since it was published. This grilled eggplant recipe was inspired by the Szechuan style eggplant, also known literally as stir fried eggplant with “fish fragrant” sauce, or xu xiang qie zi (鱼香茄子)....

OK guys, let’s talk about these adorable little pies for a minute. How cute? I made these pies filled with berry preserves/jam a while ago and they were such a hit with my kids, I knew I had to put a Halloween-spin on them. Last year I made these mummies-in-a-blanket and because I loved them so much, thought I would steal the idea for this hand pie recipe. All you need is 3 ingredients (I’m not counting the googly eyes since they are optional) and a few minutes to throw these together....

Ingredients Full recipe and amounts can be found in the recipe card below. Flour. Instead of using only regular flour, I subbed out most of it for my beloved oat flour. I left a half a cup of flour because I find it gives more structure to the baked muffins. Oat flour. Baking powder. Salt. Bananas. The bananas have two roles in these muffins. They help sweeten them so that we don’t need as much sugar and they also act as a binding agent along with the eggs....
