And when I say ‘say hello’ what I really mean is say goodbye… To your diet. These are so delicious and beyond addictive, so prepare not to share 😁 Mini Twice Baked Potatoes Look, you may not want to share these, but in reality they do make the perfect sharing appetizer. Whether it’s as a game day snack, a dinner party sharing starter OR just as an appetizer for a gathering, these mini loaded potatoes are perfect....
Well, except this mama and her compulsions to move the banners around twelve times until they’re perfectly perfect, but I digress. I waffled back and forth on the nursery inspiration for months and thought I had nailed it with a bright and fun, modern and gender-neutral nursery with a statement wall. I even made a video about it! This was a little before I gave into my fully bizarre personality and tried to keep it cool on my YouTube channel....
What Makes This Recipe So Good Buffalo chicken egg rolls are a super crunchy, super easy, super fun way to put a spin on game day staple buffalo wings. They’re baked, not deep fried, making them a lighter option than a lot of other snacks while still satisfying that need for crispiness.Your turn to host the big game watch party?

What Makes This Recipe So Good Celebration chicken packs SO MUCH flavor into a single baking dish. The sauce combines savory onion soup mix, tangy ketchup, sweet bbq sauce, rich brown sugar, and nutty garlic into what can only be described as pure perfection.This recipe is so, so easy. Quickly brown the chicken in a skillet, then place it in a baking dish, cover it with sauce, and pop it in the oven....
Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best ingredients for my crispy baked chicken wings recipe, what each one does, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card. Chicken Wings – I usually buy separated wingettes (a.k.a. flats) and drumettes, but you could just separate whole wings at the joint yourself. You can also use only flats or only drummettes alone. Frozen chicken wings work as well, but you’d need to either thaw them first or bake for longer and season halfway through cooking (learn the technique in my recipe for air fryer frozen chicken wings)....
I don’t know who decided to stir tender bites of chocolate chip cookie dough into rich vanilla ice cream, but I’d like to shake their hand. Whoever they are. Wherever they are. I need to meet this person. There’s something about that creamy vanilla base with the chewy chunks of cookie dough that make it a safe bet in almost any situation. How can you go wrong? Answer: you just can’t....
Peppermint Season is Here! I’m done. Totally done. With Thanksgiving last week, we did more than our fair share of indulgence, flipping our 80/20 rule upside down: a few healthy meals here and there, but the bulk of what we ate and drank I’d never, ever share on my Instagram. Translation? Not paleo and not healthy. And I am all for a balance. It’s so important to me to be able to maintain a way of eating long-term, and for me that means doing it flexibly, knowing that life will happen and you’ll travel to wonderful places and when you have potlucks your friends will make spinach artichoke dip and you just have to have it....
Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best ingredients for pan seared cod, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card. Cod Fillets – You can buy either frozen or fresh cod fillets, about 1-inch thick for even cooking. Thaw them first if they are frozen. Both regular cod fillets and higher quality cod loin work well. If you choose cod loin, consider thicker cuts, so they won’t dry out....
I made my first batch of these blackstrap molasses cookies over a month ago, intending to devote a blog post to them. They got eaten before I could photograph them. Over the following weeks I baked somewhere between four and six more batches, each of which met the same fate as the first. Looks like this recipe is a keeper. I love these cookies. A lot. They aren’t even intended to be the kind of cookies you can’t keep your hands off....
This salsa has fruity flavors, a hint of spice to offset the sweetness of these two fruits offering a balanced palette. Pineapple and mango are some of the sweetest and juiciest fruits so to balance it out this recipe has some spice added from the bell pepper and onions. It is seriously one of the easiest and quickest things you can make without any cooking for a get-together party. Everyone would enjoy the freshness and lightness of the mango and pineapple and the slight heat in the salsa would give a kick....
What Makes This Recipe So Good It’s delightfully tropical, and perfect for summer. It’s sweet and fruity, and the pineapple makes it a little tart and tangy. There’s just enough banana to stand out without being too much, and the dates (or honey, if you’d rather) balance out the bright pineapple beautifully. You’ll feel like you’re on the beach, even if you’re just standing in your kitchen.This pineapple smoothie is SO good for you!...
What Makes This Recipe So Good There’s so much flavor here! You’ve got a dry rub made up of the perfect blend of savory spices, then there’s a slightly sweet BBQ glaze, and then that incredible smokey flavor that comes just from grilling. Ugh, is your mouth watering yet? The slow, low-temperature grilling method used in this recipe gives you juicy, tender pork belly burnt ends that aren’t dry or tough....
I love easy one-pot dinners. And if it is made in a slow cooker, it is even better because all you need to do is dump everything and forget until dinner. I always prefer healthy, wholesome dinner which is filling and satisfying. This Chicken Casserole with quinoa and broccoli fits all the bill. With delicious Mexican flavors, this Easy Chicken Broccoli Casserole is one of our favorites. Making this Quinoa Chicken Broccoli Casserole in the Slow cooker is easy and adds many flavors....
Even though I don’t eat raw on a regular basis, I have to admit that I really do feel good after a raw meal. You might get a different picture from reading this blog — I’m more inclined to share vegan comfort food recipes of the heavily cooked variety, but I actually make a point of incorporating deal of raw nuts, fruits and veggies into my diet on a daily basis, and I’m lucky enough to live in an area where there are a number of raw food dining establishments within driving distance....
Not that I imagine I’ll be giving up my homemade Nutella or vegan chocolate coffee cake any time soon… Of course, raw vanilla fudge isn’t quite as insanely healthy as a raw zucchini “pasta” covered in a cauliflower “alfredo”, considering it’s based around legumses and nuts (and often the peanuts that go into peanut butter are roasted, sort of defeating the “raw” purpose), but it’s damn better than that HFCS-laden yogurt you cover with mochi and hot fudge (and maybe a strawberry or two, for balance) at Pinkberry....
This red wine braised chicken with rosemary and mushrooms, however, totally qualifies. I’ve always wanted to make a classic pot of coq au vin, but I never seem to have, oh, 30 pearl onions on hand, and my usually thyme-enthusiastic palette never seems to have any sprigs in the fridge when the coq au vin-desperation hits. Instead, I whipped up a soothing pot of chicken pieces, fork-tender from the rich red-wine-and-whiskey braising liquid, earthy mushrooms arranging a play-date with salty, smoky bacon, all balanced by woodsy rosemary, elbowing you and whispering, “Hey, it’s really winter, you know?...
Another day another food crime 😂 Traditional bolognese? Absolutely not. Bloomin’ delicious nevertheless?! Heck yes! If you’re looking for your new favourite way to use chorizo follow me… Chorizo Bolognese I know, it may sound a little left field, but stick with me here. Chorizo, beef and red wine is a force to be reckoned with. But when you combine it all in a ragu, things get real good real quick....
🍠 What Makes This Recipe So Good The first time I had Ruth’s Chris sweet potato casserole, I fell in LOVE. The sweet potato mash is perfectly tender and delicious. The real star of the show on this dish is the praline pecan topping. Chopped pecans, caramelized in brown sugar and spices…my mouth is watering just talking about it! Each bite is so comforting and has the perfect amount of sweetness....
Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best ingredients for sauteed kale, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card. Kale – Choose fresh, vibrant curly kale with firm, deep green leaves. This sauteed kale recipe also works with a different variety of kale, such as dinosaur kale, lacinato kale (Tuscan kale), or Russian kale, but will need to adjust the cook time....
Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best ingredients for sauteed shrimp, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card. Shrimp – I used 31-40 sized large shrimp, but smaller or jumbo shrimp also works. Adjust cooking time if using different sizes. Peel, devein, and keep tails for flavor. I don’t recommend cooking frozen shrimp because they will release more water into the pan, which can dilute the flavors, so thaw them first if they are frozen....
