Just use 6 ounces of frozen spinach in place of 10 ounces fresh....
Let’s just step away from our all-time favorite guacamole and admire how creamy this Avocado Dip looks. Perfect to dip toasted pita, nachos, chips, veggies, etc. All you need is six ingredients (which includes salt and pepper) to make this amazing dip. I love to make this dip when I crave Avacado but am not in a mood to clean and chop. Just throw in all the ingredients to the food processor and it’s ready....
Well, I did it. I kind of got an air fryer. I say “kind of” because I actually got a new oven with a built-in air frying function. I’m super psyched about it though, and I chose my oven specifically for the air fryer element. I’ve been playing around with it for a bit and so far this air fryer tofu recipe is my favorite. As much as I love good old baked tofu, nothing really compares to the crispy texture you get when you air fry tofu....
Black pepper is cheap, readily available, and most of us have it hanging out in our pantries. But it packs a serious flavor punch, especially when used in heavy amounts like we’re doing in this recipe. You’ll find that the heat from black pepper hits differently from what you’d find in dishes that use hot pepper based sauces, like my Szechuan tofu or gochujang tofu. In addition to being delicious, this recipe is quick and easy....
If you’ve never coated chicken in cornflakes before, you’re in for a treat. Follow me… Cornflake Chicken Breast For this recipe, we’re going to be using boneless skinless chicken breast. You could use thigh, but you’ll risk the cornflakes burning by the time the chicken thigh cooks right through. Plus, chicken breast is much easier to slice into strips, which is what we’re doing today. Chicken Tenders vs Chicken Strips Strictly speaking, a chicken tender is actually the strip of meat located underneath the breast....

Why get canned creamed corn, when you can make an amazing one at home from scratch? It is creamy has the natural sweetness of corn, and is not too rich. Though I prefer fresh corn, you can make this with frozen corn as well. This simple side dish can be made throughout the year but definitely is part of the holiday table. Every time I make it, I just eat spoonfuls of it because it’s that good....
Classic Yorkshire Puddings These are similar to popovers, but cooked in regular tins (as opposed to popovers tins). This results in Yorkshire puddings having large holes in the centre. Also, popovers can be served sweet, whereas you wouldn’t be seen dead serving Yorkshire puddings will anything but 3 jugs of gravy 🤣 For me, the perfect traditional Yorkshire Pudding is tall and more on the crispy side, yet with a little moisture on the inside....
Everything You Love About This Bagel, But on Chicken! True or false: the Everything bagel is the perfect bagel. True, duh. Well, maybe. If I’m in the mood for sweet, it’s cinnamon raisin all the way. But savory? Everything bagel is king. And Everything But the Bagel seasoning? She might be the queen. With a classic garlicky, oniony flavor and tons of crunch from the sesame and poppy seeds, I want to coat just about everything in Everything Bagel seasoning....
It’s totally a coincidence that I’m posting these meatballs the week before July 4th. But a happy coincidence, because these suckers are kind of perfect for Independence day. What better way to celebrate a holiday that involves pyrotechnics than with pyrotechnic-themed food? And these chickpea meatballs just happen to make a great alternative to veggie burgers! What are Firecracker Meatballs? I didn’t invent the concept of firecracker meatballs. They seem to be a big thing in the world of non-vegan food, and I just decided it was time for a vegan version....

Boulangere potatoes are very similar to Dauphinoise Potatoes, only they’re cooked in stock and often with onions. Here I’m taking things to new heights by doing a French onion twist! Follow me… Caramelized Onions These are a key ingredient in French onion soup. They also add a gorgeous sweetness to this dish, which is otherwise rich and beefy. Low ‘n’ Slow The aim of the game for caramelizing onions is to fry them fairly low and slow....
Here I’ll show you how to turn orzo into one of the most delicious pasta salads imaginable! Follow me… Greek Orzo Pasta Salad The key to this salad being so delicious is the marinade. Instead of merely mixing all the ingredients together, we’re going to marinate some of them in the dressing beforehand. This will create a gorgeous flavour exchange between the ingredients and the dressing, which amplifies the flavour of the whole salad....

How To Make Healthy Cheesecake I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card.

As the title suggests, this cheese has a lot going on. But also, as I confirmed with my family over the Thanksgiving holiday, this vegan cheese has got it going on. Most notably going on here: pumpkin! Not that the flavor is super-pumpkiny, but pumpkin isn’t normally a thing you’d find in vegan cheese. Here’s the funny thing though: I made this way back in mid-October and froze it for Thanksgiving....
I know, the title for this one is a mouthful. I never know what to call dishes like this though. And also, there are so many good things in here — I feel like I have to mention each one! Like, what if someone who loves basmati rice or caramelized onions were to skip by the recipe not realizing what was in there? I couldn’t handle that. There is in fact even more deliciousness than I managed to include in the name....

This is an older recipe that I first shared on the blog back in 2015. I felt like a total weirdo at the time, as I sometimes do when I put together unusual food combinations. I think I made my husband confirm about a zillion times that yes, this stuff was as delicious as I thought. The funny thing it that I churn out so many recipes for this site that I don’t often get to repeat dishes....
