If you’ve been around here for a little while, you’ll know chicken and chorizo is one of my all-time favourite combos. Today we’re celebrating it in the form of a one-pan wonder! Follow me… Chicken Thighs For this recipe we’ll be using boneless skinless chicken thighs. I love using chicken thighs in this recipe because they add so much flavour to the sauce! They’re fattier than breasts, so when you fry them they leave behind a gorgeous pool of fat (aka flavour)....

I’ve found my new favorite weeknight dinner. This one is not only delicious and incredibly comforting, but it’s also SO EASY. We’re talking about a one-pot meal! And I’m not always on board with one-pot meals. I often find this shortcut results in things like gummy pasta and undercooked beans. But occasionally, I find a recipe where it just works. Back when I made my vegan minestrone I went off a bit about not cooking pasta in soup broth, because soggy pasta is one of my least favorite things....

Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best ingredients for homemade peanut sauce, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card. Creamy Peanut Butter – This makes up the base of the peanut sauce recipe. I love this brand because it’s smooth, creamy, and the only ingredient is peanuts. You can also substitute almond butter if needed. If your nut butter contains sugar (I don’t recommend ;)), you may want to leave out the honey, unless you like it very sweet....

I love spicy food, so I tend to post spicy recipes from time to time. And sometimes people ask me how to modify my recipes so they’re not so spicy. I’m generally happy to help out in that department, except on those occasions where spicy is the whole point of the recipe. This is one of those dishes. “Arrabbiata sauce” actually translates to “angry sauce.” It’s all about the heat....

Ya with me? OK, probably not, unless you’ve been a nursing mother in the Facebook-groups- and Pinterest-age of the interwebs. See.. peppermint oil can negatively affect your milk supply! So if you have any worries about having enough for bubs, you typically have to avoid it all.. making for a pretty damn dreary holiday season, if you ask me. But I’m really lucky! I didn’t have to give up dairy, I don’t have to drink lactation smoothies and mother’s milk tea everyday in hopes of boosting what I’ve got, and I don’t have to pass over the peppermint bark on that Target run for paper towels that turned into a Christmas miscellany shopping spree (JUST AS AN EXAMPLE OK?...

You could also use plain Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor....

This is an incredibly simple dinner idea that goes down in just over 15mins. If you’ve never tried pork, apple and blue cheese before you’re in for a treat. Follow me… Preparing Pork Chops I usually go for bone-in pork chops. I find having the bone in helps cook the meat more evenly. I also find the meat around the bone nice and tender. Boneless work well too though if that’s what you have....

Esta es una de las épocas del año en la que muchas personas hacen ajustes en su alimentación, por el período de Cuaresma. Si alguna vez habías querido intentar dejar de lado la carne por un tiempo, esta puede ser la oportunidad perfecta. Afortunadamente, tanto en supermercados como en restaurantes, hay muchas opciones de platos y productos no cárnicos. Más que una dieta libre de aves y carne de vacuno, la idea es incorporar alimentos como el pescado, los huevos, la leche, la fruta, las verduras y los cereales a tu alimentación, como sustitutos de la carne....

And some are just downright sinful. Cinnful, to be exact. I first had this strawberry and cinnamon cocktail at my bachelorette party, as we hopped from restaurant to restaurant, ordering little bites and interesting sips. The description of this particular drink, however, sounded mildly revolting, and I stuck with a glass of bubbly at one of my favorite places in Memphis, Alchemy. My sister was a bit braver and ordered what they call the “Ruby Slipper” and exclaimed in delight, sip after sip....

What Makes This Recipe So Good This dish may sound fancy and complicated, but it’s actually incredibly simple.

A few weeks ago I realized I’d been feeling a little run down. For a while actually. At first I blamed it on the cooler temperatures and dwindling daylight, but then it occurred to me that it might be time to get my iron checked. I’ve had issues with iron in the past, and I was experiencing pretty much the same symptoms, but somehow I let them develop for a few weeks (or maybe months)....
