Instead, this recipe makes hollandaise sauce without eggs, relying on a dairy-free cream base with the classic mustard, white wine (optional), and lemon juice flavorings to hit all the classic notes....

Best of all, it’s much simpler than you may expect to make baked beans from scratch. Using canned baked beans instead of dry beans as the base makes for a faster cooking time.

Fiery and so flavorful – in the best way! Calabrian chili pasta is seriously one of the easiest pasta dinner recipes. It starts with an easy homemade Calabrian chili butter. The best part about making the chili butter is that you’re in the driver’s seat. You get to control how spicy you make this.

I don’t want to take all the attention away from the battered cutlets, though. They aren’t your typical breaded ones either. These have the chicken dredged in flour and then the beaten eggs. This yields a delicious, lightly crusted, eggy crunch....
