Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best ingredients for homemade cheese crackers, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card. Cheddar Cheese – This is the base of the baked cheddar crackers. It gives them a rich real cheese flavor. I used mild cheddar cheese, but white cheddar or sharp cheddar cheese would work just as well. You can also use any other semi-hard or hard cheese, such as Parmesan or Gruyere, for a different flavor....

I’ve mentioned a few times recently that I’m trying to make this site a bit more allergy friendly. I mean, for most of the five years I’ve been posting, my attitude has basically been, “hey, my recipes are vegan and that’s it.” I wish I could test out every variation on every dish! But I do post a lot of cashew recipes. And I get a lot of requests for alternatives from people with nut allergies....

Fall or not, everyone loves this soup at home. Fresh seasonal pumpkin is always my first choice, but when convenience and shortcuts takes priority, you can use canned pumpkin as well. I will share a few tips to get the best out of canned pumpkin. I have used carrots, that gives body to the soup. Onion and garlic as aromatics adds just the right amount of savouriness. Pumpkin: The hero of the soup....

Spinach isn’t always my favorite green. I love my greens, but am one of those weirdos who generally prefers tougher greens like kale. But I do love my spinach when it’s paired up with creamy sauces, like in my vegan creamed spinach or vegan saag paneer. With my love for the combination of spinach and creamy sauces in mind, I went and created this vegan spinach pasta recipe. It’s so creamy!...

Making dinner is often the last thing in the world I want to do at the end of a long day. This isn’t much of an issue on days when I’m developing a new recipe for this side (because we eat it for dinner, obviously!), but the rest of my days are spent writing about and looking at pictures of food. So by the end of the day I’m hungry and don’t have much patience for actually preparing a meal....

Garlic and Herb Dip The amount of garlic and herb dips from Domino’s that I’ve thrown down my neck over the years is quite frankly concerning. So, naturally I thought it was time to curate my own version. Just a note, garlic and herb dips tend to differ around the world, so this one is based on the UK version. Here’s what you’ll need: Garlic and Herb Dip Ingredients Mayo & Sour Cream – Full Fat, of course....

Like my chicken kabobs, souvlaki is marinated and grilled to perfection on a skewer. Souvlaki recipes can be made with pork, chicken, beef, or even lamb, but I opted for pork souvlaki here because that’s the most traditional. What Is Souvlaki? Souvlaki is a popular Greek street food consisting of small pieces of meat, typically pork, chicken, or lamb, which are marinated, skewered, and grilled to perfection. Like homemade gyro meat, it is often served with pita bread, tomatoes, red onions, and Greek tzatziki sauce....

So we’ve agreed that edible cookie dough > actual cookies, right? Sitting on the couch with a bowl of the stuff in hand, binging the most recent Netflix series, subconsciously sighing every out of sheer relief that the toddler bedtime routine. Er, wait, just me? I mean… Really, though, who doesn’t love licking the spoon after whipping up a bowl of birthday cake batter? It’s the same with cookie dough, right?...

Well, no, I take that back. I like a very, very specific type of brownie–the type that’s ultra fudgy and dense, and not cakey, but so incredibly rich you’re good with a tiny square and wouldn’t think to add ice cream to the top. I also like those Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies, but that’s a different story for a different day and one I will deny, deny, deny should you ever see me in public....

What Is Granola Made Of? Here I explain the best ingredients for homemade granola cereal, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card. Rolled Oats – Rolled oats work best for granola recipes. Avoid quick-cooking oats or steel-cut oats, as they won’t create the classic granola texture.

We’d pile in the Jeep, the cool car with the windows that unzip, and head down the flat streets with palm trees on either side. Past the rocky hills in the shapes of monks praying or the humps of camels, towards PF Changs, the new Asian place with the funny crunchy noodles and the “lettuce wraps,” which were basically tacos you ate in leaves. We were celebrating a birthday or the first day of school or the last day of school or it was just too hot to cook and we’d already had Taco Bell twice that week....

We’re heading into the coldest days of the year, and I for one am all about soup! I can’t get enough of it and find myself cooking big weekly batches of hearty soups for lunches and dinners. Soup is delicious, can often be on the healthier side, and it’s great for meal prep (often being freezer-friendly!). This vegan wild rice soup is a favorite that’s going right into heavy rotation....

Making a curry from scratch can sometimes sound daunting, but this recipe is a breeze – promise! Follow me… Butter Chicken Marinade The marinade is key in this recipe. Not only does it inject flavour into the chicken, but it also helps tenderise it. Alongside that, you can add the excess marinade to the sauce for an extra boost of flavour! For this recipe, we’ll be using boneless skinless chicken thighs....

How To Thaw Frozen Lobster Tails There are several methods you can use for thawing frozen lobster tails before cooking them, and each has pros and cons.
