What Makes This Recipe So Good Avocados – Buttery smooth with a mellow flavor, avocados are perfect as the base for this flavorful salad.Red onion – Crispy, crunchy, and lightly sweet, red onion is still astringent and gives a nice tang to go with the mellow avocado and sweet tomatoes.Cherry tomatoes – Juicy and bright, cherry tomatoes have a bit more concentrated flavor than their larger cousins.Lime juice – A splash of citrus not only gives a pop of flavor but also helps the avocado from turning brown immediately....

I actually intended to post this one around Valentines day, as I thought the red color would make it appropriate for the occasion. That didn’t happen. It’s red, and chocolate, but it’s not exactly a dessert, which is what I like to focus on for Valentine’s day. It’s tasty, but, red color aside, it’s really more of a green smoothie. Maybe you can enjoy it for Saint Patrick’s Day. Why green?...

Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the ingredients for the best burgers, what each one does in my recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card. Ground Beef – I use 85/15 beef most often, but many people prefer 80/20 (usually ground chuck) for even juicier meat. 90/10 ground beef (usually ground sirloin) can be more dry, but burgers with it still come out quite juicy using the ingredients I add below....

🌿 What is Chimichurri? Chimichurri is a savory, herbaceous sauce that originated in Argentina and Uruguay, though today its popularity extends far beyond Latin America. There’s no cooking involved in making chimichurri, as it’s commonly used as a marinade or a condiment for various meats or sides.The ingredients list for classic green chimichurri is simple: garlic, olive oil, parsley, vinegar, oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt.Because this version is a copycat of Texas de Brazil’s chimichurri, the recipe differs a little from traditional chimichurri due to the addition of cilantro....

Why You’ll Love This Recipe Broiled salmon is such an easy recipe, and the salmon comes out perfectly flaky.

Nothing overpowers anything else, and even the optional lemon butter sauce plays up the lemon flavor in the marinade....

This is such a nifty dinner that really packs a punch in the flavour department. I think you’ll be surprised at just how simply it all comes together! Follow me… Avocado Corn Salsa This is one of those things you could accidentally polish off with a spoon before it comes time to serve. My advice – whip it up then place it out of sight and out of mind to resist temptation 😂....

Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes We’ll get to the cheesy part in just a sec, but firstly let’s talk about roasted garlic. If you’ve been a reader of mine for a while, you’ll have realised I’m obsessed with roasting garlic. Roasting garlic really changes both the texture and flavour of the garlic into something sweet and caramelized. Turns out it goes pretty nicely in mashed potatoes. For a more comprehensive tutorial on how to roast garlic (it’s so easy, promise) check out my Oven Roasted Garlic....

Chia seeds, for many years, were the butt of the, uh, seed world?, relinquished only to growing hair on terra cotta pets. That is, except in native Mexican groups and, specifically, the Tarahumara tribe of “super-athlete” runners in Mexico who were detailed in the überpopular (for runners, that is) book Born to Run. Like the dutiful runner he is, O read the book on a trip to, naturally, Mexico, and that was that....

Alissa’s note: This post was originally published in November of 2014. Hence all the talk about snow! I just updated the photos and made a few tweaks to the recipe. It’s not actually snow season yet, but this post does have me really excited for it. :) I know some of you guys are going to scoff at this (mom), but I’m really excited about how cold it’s getting outside....

Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best ingredients for cilantro lime chicken marinade, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card. Chicken: This cilantro lime chicken recipe uses bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, which will have the best flavor. However, you can substitute boneless skinless chicken thighs or boneless skinless chicken breast if you like. The cook time will vary depending on the cut of chicken you use, and boneless will cook faster....

Years ago, I had this boyfriend who told me he loved yellow curry. I bought a giant tub of the stuff at the Asian market, we broke up, and that was kind of that. Except it wasn’t, because I carried the unopened container from apartment to apartment, all the way to the condo where I met my husband, then to our starter home, then to our home-after-starter-home home. Luckily, the yellow curry inside was vacuum sealed and antiseptic bag within the tub, just begging me to take it space once Elon Musk invites us aboard Falcon Heavy....

As one of my most loved and most popular recipes, I had to include this in my Debut Cookbook ‘Comfy’! Cottage Pie Filling These baked potatoes are a funky twist on the Classic Cottage Pie that are super easy to make and even more delicious to eat! The filling is a key component of this recipe. There’s no good having a beautifully baked potato with a bland filling! The base of the filling is ground beef, although you could use lamb if you’d prefer these to be Shepherd’s Pies....

For my friends in Australia, this is essentially a Tuna Mornay. For my friends across the pond, I believe this is similar to a Tuna Casserole. And for my folks here in the UK, I’m sure you’ll recognise this as a weeknight dinner staple! Follow me… Creamy Tuna Pasta Bake Ingredients I don’t know about you, but in this house tuna pasta bake is considered an SOS meal. A cupboard cleanout meal if you will....

What Makes This Recipe So Good What I really love about this healthy, creamy, Whole30 Tuscan chicken is that it is so dang quick and so dang easy. The ingredients in the recipe are real elements to the dish: chicken, artichoke hearts, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes… There aren’t too many supporting ingredients here. Did I mention it’s quick? It comes together in about 30 minutes, which makes it super duper easy to throw together on a weeknight for a quick Italian skillet dinner....

How to bake chicken tenders in the oven? Arrange a wire rack on top of a baking tray. Spray the rack generously with a nonstick spray ( this is important as it prevents the chicken from sticking). Arrange the chicken spaced a little apart. Then lightly spray them with a cooking oil spray (optional, but it is still better than deep frying). The breadcrumb coating is crispy, well-seasoned, and not too thick....

It took me a while to realize that tempeh isn’t for everyone. I first tasted the stuff back in my early days as a vegetarian, when I wasn’t into tofu. I expected it to be similar to tofu, and was pleasantly surprised by the strong contrast. I loved it, and as a result, I pushed it on everyone I perceived as a tofu hater, thinking they would too. I didn’t believe anyone who told me tempeh wasn’t for them....
