The millennial bible for everything baking and cooking
This might be one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever posted. So easy in fact it doesn’t even seem like a recipe, but it was just so tasty I felt the need to share! I love everything bagels, so I had to try Trader Joes ‘Everything But the Bagel’ seasoning, but didn’t plan what I’d …
Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables. My inspiration for this recipe came about when I got a bit over excited during asparagus season and bought several bunches from my corner produce stand. Searching for something that wasn’t just a side dish or an accompaniment to other veggies I decided to make an asparagus strata. …
My inspiration for this recipe also came about when I got over zealous during asparagus season and bought several bunches from my corner produce stand. It really is one of my favorite veggie! Organic ground turkey was also on sale that week and I’d been considering different stuffed meat recipes as basic baked and grilled …
This is a one pan recipe which means more flavor and less dishes. Who could argue with that? I always find that there is a subtle complexity to Asian cuisine. Which makes it so fun to make once you learn all the tricks. For this recipe the key is to crisp the edges of the steak. …
This recipe was born out of my husbands latest round of the ‘keto’ diet. It’s surprisingly simple, just steak, peppers, onions and some seasoning. But it’s flavorful, fun to eat and easy to pull together. Every time the keto diet comes out I struggle to find ways to keep recipes fresh tasting with enough vegetables. …
We had some left over Kielbasa from Ukrainian Easter so I thought I’d make a recipe that incorporates it. After all there is only so much kielbasa charcuterie you can eat. I’ve always wanted to make a paella, after all at it’s root is a simple dish. Protein + Veggies + Rice = Paella. But …
Chili is one of those staple comfort foods. It always reminds me of cold fall and winter days as a kid. My mom always used to make chili in a crock pot on the weekends. I’d have a bowl after coming in from playing out in the snow or on the couch watching football with …
MANGO. COCONUT. SUMMER. Do I have your attention yet? There is nothing better than some fresh mango salsa and coconut on a warm breezy beach day….. Or maybe just when you are just dreaming of a warm beach day when it’s actually mid winter and you feel like you haven’t seen the sun in months. Today …
As a kid I didn’t like Brussels sprouts. It’s not that I didn’t like the taste. I really just didn’t like them because they were smelly. Every time my mom made them, she’d heat them in the microwave and the whole house would get that funky cabbage smell. As the mature child I was this …
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! St. Patrick’s Day has become a quintessential American holiday and something I look forward to each year. I also love it for all the fun holiday decor, food and festivities. While I do appreciate corned beef and cabbage, it’s not the most exciting meal and if I’m going to eat corned …
I love spinach artichoke dip. It’s tasty, flavorful, and feels sort of healthy because it has vegetables and classy because it has that fancy vegetable, artichokes. However, I know that realistically a dinner of tortilla chips and spinach artichoke dip, which traditionally has a lot of cheese in it (shhhh don’t tell anyone), is extremely …
I always wondered why the steaks I had at steakhouses were so amazing, but I could never recreate them at home. My steaks never got that crispy seared outside and juicy center. So what’s the secret? Butter, a really hot pan & finishing your steak in the oven. Now I can’t promise you’ll be making …
Looking to jazz up the regular old canned soup and classic grilled cheese with a gourmet twist? Adding a different kind of cheese and fruit to a panini is one way to do it. Roasting your own veggies and making homemade butter croutons to garnish soup is the perfect compliment to this sweet and savory …
So you got an Instant-pot . . . . Maybe it was a gift from your mother-in-law to be at your wedding shower (a hint that you need to improve your cooking skills), or you felt it was a good ‘adult’ purchase, because its a ‘multi-use’ appliance and apparently cooking is cheaper than ordering …
