What Is Gyro Meat? Traditional gyro meat is made from a dense mixture of ground meat (lamb, beef, or both) with herbs, spices, and salt, that’s cooked on a vertical rotisserie. Roasting allows the outer layer to get beautifully crispy while keeping the inside juicy and tender. But here’s the twist in my recipe: Instead of a rotisserie, you can make mine using just a loaf pan, your oven, and a skillet....
🍳 What Makes This Recipe So Good This hashbrown breakfast casserole is actually inspired by a basic hashbrown and sausage casserole I’ve been making for something like 15 years now. It uses a lot of the same ingredients, but here I really focused on the extra-creamy eggs and the dairy-free sauce. The result? A more nutritious, more filling casserole that’s pure Whole30 breakfast perfection. Thanks to the aforementioned eggs and sauce, this baby is dreamily rich and creamy....

There are quite a few methods and tools to use to juice a lime. Citrus reamerA handheld citrus reamer is frequently a wooden or plastic tool with a spiked side and a cylindrical handle (check out the top photo).

Does any food say luxury quite like lobster? OK, so maybe that $700 jar of caviar screams it, but to me? Lobster is synonymous with special dinners, like Valentine’s Day or a meaningful anniversary (But probably not that year 2 anniversary). In my oh so humble opinion, though, we do not eat nearly enough lobster. And sure, eating lobster out at a restaurant can be super expensive! So make it at home: problem solved....

Mulligatawny soup is one of those dishes that can be made many ways. How do I know this? Well, a few years ago I had my first encounter with a version at an Indian restaurant and fell in love. I went home and immediately started searching for a recipe. But none of the recipes I found resembled the soup I’d just had. And in fact, many of them didn’t even resemble each other....
🍗 What Makes This Recipe So Good This Instant Pot chicken adobo has all the rich flavors you love in the classic Filipino dish. The umami of the soy sauce, the sweetness of the brown sugar, the earthiness of the bay leaves. There’s even a tiny bit of spiciness from the peppercorns. Since the chicken thighs are pressure-cooked in the sauce, they come out incredibly flavorful and incredibly juicy. There’s no need to marinate them first, either, saving you a decent amount of prep time....

This keto red velvet cake recipe was based on my keto chocolate cake as a starting point, but red velvet is so much more than “just” a colored chocolate cake. Compared to chocolate cake, red velvet has a far milder cocoa flavor, lots more vanilla, and of course, the signature cream cheese frosting. At only 3.4 grams net carbs per slice and a super moist texture, this is not only the best keto red velvet cake I’ve ever made, it’s the best I’ve had, period....
Making vegan “meat” out of quinoa seems to be a big thing in the vegan recipe world these days. And that’s great! Quinoa is hearty and stands well on its own in the protein department, but I’ll be honest: when I tried making plain old quinoa taco meat, I was unimpressed. Something was missing in terms of flavor and texture. How could I fix that? Lentils were the answer. Aren’t they always?...
All of which happens frightfully infrequently, come summer. Instead, my days look like this: check weather forecast for any hint of fall, crank down the A/C and read Jane Eyre with a cup of Earl Grey, begin planning extravagant Christmas Eve dinner. There’s a lesson in zen there somewhere, but I think we all suffer just a little from seasonal grass-is-greener syndrome–those of us with powerful imaginations, at least. Yet when I made this smoothie, in a simple effort to use up some prepackaged mango slices, I was catapulted into a future wintertime daydream of summer....
