It’s that time of year when winter squash is popping up at all the farmer’s markets! I find that butternut squash tends to hog the spotlight, and while I love me a good bowl of vegan butternut squash soup, today I want to focus on another super delicious squash variety that you totally should be cooking with: acorn squash. Acorn squash is super sweet, just like butternut, but it has a slightly different taste, with more nutty notes that work really well when paired up with savory seasonings, which is why we’re using fresh herbs to flavor this soup....

When I first met my husband and he found out how into cooking I was, he insisted that I had to try some west African peanut soup. When I started blogging that turned into insistence that I had to blog some African peanut soup. That all sounded good to me, but I held off because I really wanted to try a bowl from someone who knew what they were doing first....

Why These Eggs Are So Good Hard-boiled eggs cooked in the air fryer are so easy! No water needed, so there’s no keeping an eye on the stove. Just set the timer and pop into cold water when done. “Boiling” your eggs in the air fryer ensures they turn out perfect every time. No under- or overcooked yolks! Plus, they’re easy to peel! Air fryer hard-boiled eggs are perfect on their own with a little salt and pepper, but also great for meal prep, salads, deviled eggs, or any recipe that requires hard-boiled eggs....

I’ll be totally honest here: when I first heard of the concept of an air fryer, I thought it was kind of silly. Air does not fry. This was a few years ago, and it was shortly thereafter that I started getting requests for air-fryer recipes. As you can guess, I wasn’t feeling terribly motivated to act on those requests. But then I had to buy a new oven last year, and when I had the option to get one with a built in air fryer, I figured maybe I ought to give it a try....

Enjoy these low carb scones with your favorite coffee or tea and a dollop of keto lemon curd for a slow weekend morning or enjoy them throughout the week. No matter if it’s Saturday or Monday, my paleo scones are sure to be a hit. (These days, I love them with bulletproof coffee.) Being a scientist at heart, I love to experiment and figure out how things work, so it’s truly rewarding for me to see how changing different variables transforms the end result....

🫒 What Makes This Recipe So Good I don’t know what I love more – that Italian dressing chicken tastes so good or that it’s so easy to make. I mean, this is the epitome of a “no spoons” recipe. You know those days when you know you need to eat something nutritious but you just don’t have the energy or the time to do anything super involved? Those days when you’re all out of proverbial “spoons”?...

Salmon Mayo Recipe Ingredients Here I explain the best ingredients for baking salmon with mayo, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card below. Salmon fillets – I used two pink salmon fillets that were one pound each, but you could also use one large fillet or several individual-sized fillets. Learn more about how to select salmon at the store in my pan seared salmon recipe post....

Are you guys ready for fall? ME TOO!!! I know that’s a ridiculous thing to say. I’m the only person on the planet that’s pining away for crackling fires and pumpkin spice lattes this time of year. Summer just isn’t my thing, and last week was particularly nasty where I live. Oh, and it’s technically not even summer yet. But I am an optimist, and when life gives me lemons in the form of 90 degree heat and no air conditioning, I make lemonade....

What Makes This Recipe So Good Chicken salad is one of those quintessential summer dishes. I mean, yes, of course, you can have chicken salad any time of year. But there’s something about it that just says summer. Maybe it’s how light and creamy and refreshing it is… or how easy it is to make. Whatever it is, we’ve doubled down on the summer vibes by combining classic chicken salad with rich, smoky, sweet BBQ flavors....

Should I Soak My Beans? Soaking beans prior to cooking makes them easier to digest and helps them take less time to cook! We soak ours overnight for about 10-12 hours. To soak beans, rinse them well in a colander over the sink. Add them to a large pot or bowl and fill water about two inches above the beans. Let it sit overnight, draining in the morning.

This beef chow mein recipe is a great way to use up any leftover produce you have sitting in your fridge....

Welcome to the unofficial last weekend of summer. I can’t say I’m bummed about the whole thing, to be honest. It cooled off quite a bit over the last few days, and it’s been awesome. When it comes to desserts, it doesn’t get much more summery than a berry infused raw cheesecake. I think I may have waited until the end of summer to share this one because I’m celebrating the forthcoming cooler weather....

The ULTIMATE Croissant Sandwich! I know, can I not just upload a regular sandwich to this blog? 😂Quite frankly I think the answer is a solid NO. Todays victim – the Croissant. Croissants tend to be stuffed with savoury ingredients (turkey, eggs, ham etc). I really wanted to put my own twist on these, and play on the balance of sweet and savoury. If you’ve been a reader of mine for a while you’ll have noticed I don’t do sweets, this is generally about as sweet as it gets 😂 As such, we’ve gone for the gorgeous combo of bacon, blackberry and brie....

When I tested this bacon brussels sprouts recipe, I was so happy to find that the bacon cooked with the veggies all in one pan — there was no need to precook it for it to get crispy! (This will also work with other roasted vegetables that cook for around 30 minutes, like roasted cauliflower.) Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best ingredients for roasted brussels sprouts with bacon, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options....

Follow me… Extra Crispy Fried Chicken I hope we’re all in agreement that the best fried chicken is mouthwateringly tender on the inside, tooth shatteringly crispy and flakey on the outside and bursting with flavour all over....

It’s one of those delicious dishes that happens to be vegan, but is totally meat-eater approved. It’ll please anyone at your table. But I also love the fact that this tart can be just about whatever you want it to be. Slice it into bite sized pieces and make an appetizer of it. Or serve more generous cuts and make it a main dish, or a side! Whatever course you happen to be looking for, this tart has a place at your table....

Good grief are you in for a treat today. As if chipotle chicken quesadillas weren’t delicious enough, we’re going to make them cheese-crusted. Because, well, do we need an excuse load anything with extra cheese? Certainly not around here! Anywho, follow me… Chipotle Chicken In reality, you can make this recipe with any kind of filling, but today I’m showing this delicious chipotle chicken version.
