🌯 What Makes This Method So Good If you’ve ever microwaved frozen burritos, you know how unreliable it can be. Like Hot Pockets, microwaved burritos can come out unevenly cooked, with hot spots that burn the roof of your mouth followed by convenient cold spots to ease the pain. Also like Hot Pockets, cooking a frozen burrito in the air fryer changes the game entirely. Deliciously crispy outside, evenly hot and melty inside....

Why You’ll Love This Recipe I love the simplicity and elegance of the cake — they say its origins date back as far as Ancient Greece, which is a tried-and-true recipe if I’ve ever heard of one. Of course, each iteration changes it, from light and fluffy to thick and dense, to flattened out crunchy cookies decorated to look like characters out of the song, “Little Boxes”.So, this year, to balance out the inherent classic nature of the dish, I decided to put a bit of a spin on it, using winter’s darling of the fresh and seasonal world: the pomegranate....

Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best ingredients for salad with goat cheese, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card. Despite having slightly more than 10 ingredients, this dish is still simple enough to be included on my “10 ingredients or less” site. It was too good not to share — and still so easy! The dressing and the salad each include less than 10 ingredients, and it’s all ready in less than 30 minutes....

breakfast: 3 muffins. Type is a little less important than sheer quality of being a muffin snack: grapefruit-mint granita lunch: honeybun with triple-layer chocolate cake snack: grapefruit-mint granita dinner: super mapley oatmeal with bloated raisins and brown sugar on top of everything, side of HoHos, side of strawberry cream cheese dessert: grapefruit-mint granita Alas, I try to mimic a more socially and medically acceptable diet for, you know, my health and the health of the little person swimming around inside my abdominal region, and I skip the dessert-for-every-meal approach that I yearn for....

How many times have I added a meal kit subscription to my cart, letting it linger there, the badge over the tiny graphic basket reminding me I have one item about which to make a decision? How many times? So many times. I’ve been intrigued by the meal kit phenomenon since it started, really, but mostly fascinated at the pain points they solved. People were cooking more, so what did that mean?...

Look, I’m a sucker for a box of Birds Eye frozen fish fingers, but there’s just something so satisfying about making your own fish fingers! Plus they’re so delicious too. Follow me… CRISPY Fish Fingers Okay, so the key to these fish fingers being so crispy is an awesome breadcrumb. Two game-changers regarding the crumb: Panko Breadcrumbs – These are perfect because they’re so big and airy, meaning they crisp up really well....

Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best ingredients for garlic honey pork chops, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card. Pork Chops – You can use boneless or bone-in pork chops. Choose ones that are 1-inch thick. If you can, bring them to room temperature first to ensure even cooking and juiciness. Seasonings – In addition to the garlic honey sauce, you’ll season these chops with garlic powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper....

The other awesome thing about this recipe is it comes together in around 15mins! Ready for your new favourite midweek dinner? Follow me… Pan Fried Salmon Salmon is just the perfect dinner. Mainly because it cooks so quickly, but it also takes on a huge range of delicious flavours. What kind of Salmon to use? For this recipe, we’re going to be using skinless salmon fillets. I tend to head to the fresh fish section at the shops, because you can usually get it sliced to size....

Early on in my blogging days I posted a recipe for seitan. Just recently I set out to make some updates to that post, namely, rephotographing it, when I realized something more was needed. A recipe is what kept me from making seitan for about ten years. I’ll explain what I mean below, but for now, suffice it to say, seitan is more of a how-to, choose your own adventure type food....

Can you believe this is the first quiche recipe I’ve ever uploaded?! For a self-proclaimed comfort foodie, I’m disappointed it’s taken me this long. But, the wait is worth it, I promise. Follow me… Homemade Quiche Crust Aka shortcrust pastry. It’s not often you’ll see me making pastry on this blog, but for shortcrust I can make an exception, given how simple it is to make. It’s actually one of the first things I ever learned to cook back in D&T at school and it’s a method that’s stuck with me ever since....

I had to make these burgers. In fact, they were begging to be made. Since making my sweet potato falafel burgers I’ve discovered how much I LOVE chickpea flour. It does so much for a veggie burger, both in terms of flavor and texture. One of the challenges with veggie burgers, and especially vegan veggie burgers, is getting them to hold together, and while I’ve gotten all kinds of combinations of flax seeds and wheat flour to work, chickpea flour has one thing they don’t: it’s actually delicious....

Many foods that you might assume are vegan, are in fact not. I’m sorry to say that I learned this the hard way! Before the internet provided all the answers I happily ordered Thai curries made with tofu and veggies, assuming any dish with tofu and veggies as the main ingredients must be vegan, right? Nope! While Thai cuisine is quite vegan-friendly, navigating a Thai menu or buying ingredients at the store can be confusing if you choose not to eat animal products....

🍣 What Makes This Recipe So Good Jerk salmon is unbelievably easy to make. The salmon fillets cook in less than 5 minutes, and even with the fresh mango salsa, the whole dish is ready to eat in less than 30 minutes. Perfect for busy weeknights or anytime you just want something delicious that doesn’t need a lot of effort. Enjoy the protein and salsa on their own, or pair them with a side of rice or cauliflower rice for a total meal....

There are multiple ways you can do keto breading, from almond flour to coconut flour to pork rinds, but my favorite low carb breading for keto chicken strips is this combo of crushed pork rinds and protein powder. It gets super crispy on the outside and sticks well, while the inside stays juicy. Perfection. (You can make your own pork rinds, or buy them, and then just crush them in a blender or food processor....

Best of all, this healthy lava cake is totally sugar free — so you won’t crash after enjoying it.

We’re using Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend to sweeten these bars, because it leaves the texture soft and creamy, like regular ice cream. Like I mentioned in my keto chocolate ice cream post, this is the only sweetener I use for ice cream. Ice creams sweetened with other brands of monk fruit or with erythritol will get rock hard in the freezer, and can also crystallize for a gritty result....

Make Ahead Options Yes, you can make this in advance! In fact, I almost always make my keto pecan pie ahead. There are several ways you can do it: Keto Pie Crust: Choose from one of these options: Almond Flour Crust – This is my favorite keto pecan pie crust, so it’s what I’ve got on the recipe card below. It’s easy to make and has only 5 ingredients! I highly recommend making this with Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour, because it has a finer texture than other brands....

Let’s play a word association game real quick. What’s your vibe when you hear these words? Garlic Lemon Butter Fresh herbs Salmon Got it? Do you feel at all warm and tingly like I do? Is your mouth watering? Did you just text your husband, “Cancel the DoorDash for tonight; we’re making garliclemonbutterfreshherbssalmon.”? Me too. Me too! I’m awfully pick when it comes to salmon. I pretty much like it medium-rare to medium or not at all, and it has to be absolutely jam packed full of flavor....

I know, I know… it’s not even Halloween yet! Why am I talking about Thanksgiving already?

After you hear about the low carb holiday side dish I’ve got for you today, you’ll see why! My (extended) family has a holiday tradition of getting together at my second cousin’s parents’ house for Thanksgiving Day....
