The Best Turkey Cheese Sliders Recipe If you have leftover turkey in your fridge but you are sick of having the same holiday meal over again, then you should absolutely turn that leftover turkey into some turkey cheese sliders! It is super easy, packed with flavor, and they are extra great if you have family in town and have to feed a crowd. What makes these sliders extra easy is using Hawaiian rolls that are all attached to each other, so you make one big sandwich in the oven and then slice into 12 rolls after it comes out of the oven!...
Made with ground turkey instead of beef, these meatballs are healthier and leaner, but that doesn’t mean they’re not delicious and moist! Each bite is so scrumptious, everyone will want seconds! These meatballs are amazing on their own or served with some sauce and a pile of noodles. That’s why I love making these when I don’t know what to do for dinner! What’s even better is that these meatballs are baked....
published Jul 22, 2024 If you’ve ever had Turkish rice and wondered what it was that made it so much tastier and more satisfying than regular rice, I’ll let you in on the secret — it’s not just rice! This beloved dish, known as orzo rice, contains both basmati and pasta for a varied scheme of both texture and flavor that sets it apart from other rice side dishes. First, the orzo is cooked in butter to give it a rich, savory flavor and golden color....
Creamy Vegan Corn Chowder This easy corn chowder recipe is loaded with healthy produce which I love. It contains sweet corn, fresh from the cob, potatoes, red bell pepper, celery, and garlic. If you don’t have access to fresh corn (peak season lasts from May through September), don’t worry because you can also use frozen corn! I like using fresh corn though because I simply love the flavor and sweetness....
If the beginning of this year is anything to go by, then I think my sweet tooth is coming out in spades. I’ve already shared posts for vegan white chocolate, white chocolate peanut butter cups, and now this vegan gummy bears recipe. Making these gummies at home allows you to use all-natural ingredients and any molds you like; for vegan gummy worms, gummy bears, dolphins, monkeys, sharks – you get the point!...

That means that you certainly won’t stop me from eating a creamy, ‘cheesy,’ yet dairy-free mac and cheese! This dish is everything that I want in a creamy pasta dish – smooth, rich, moreish, and yet still surprisingly nutritious. In fact, I have a bit of a soft spot for saucy pasta dishes- like this Vegan Alfredo Sauce, Roasted Red Pepper Pasta, or Garlic Butter Pasta....
Smooth, Rich Chocolate Spread In Minutes As delicious as Nutella is – which I think pretty much the entire world can agree upon (almost!), it’s not exactly healthy, environmentally friendly, or even vegan. So, it’s not a surprise that there are tons and tons of homemade and healthy Nutella recipes available. In fact, I even posted my own Low-Fat Chocolate Spread back in 2016. I’ve also spent lots of time in my kitchen roasting and peeling hazelnuts, blending (and blending and blending) it into butter....

With a combination of fresh veggies like cucumber, tomatoes, and onion, with dill pickles, in a creamy oil and mayo-free Ranch-inspired dressing, this cold vegan pasta salad is creamy, tangy, crunchy, super refreshing, and lightened up over many other recipes....
When deciding on the recipe for V, I made up my mind, that I wanted to bake something. I have not baked any bread for this Mega BM. I was struggling to find a recipe to fit my theme and that is when this Victorian Milk Bread popped into my head. A few weeks ago, one of my very dear friends who is the Director of the Public library of my town in NY, posted a bread she baked....
These are so delicious with homemade chai tea latte. It’s hard to argue that red and green have become unofficial colours of Christmas. And although I don’t decorate my house in that colour scheme, I always associate them with the holiday. So when my daughter became determined to develop the best chocolate and matcha cookies for Vikalinka, I immediately imagined them in my Christmas recipe collection. It’s not to say you can only make them at Christmas time because these chewy chocolate chip cookies, delicately scented with green tea, are an absolute delight....

I got to say I am addicted to this pioneer woman! I just love her recipes and her blog. The way Ree writes invites her viewers to try out the recipe. I was attracted to her through her Cinnamon Raisin bread that I tried and it tasted awesome. Packing lunch for kids is a challenge. Packing healthier snacks is even more a challenge. This week especially after all the cookies I baked, my kids were so sugar high that I had to make something to compromise all of that....
Yufka is an unleavened flatbread from Turkish cuisine. They are very thinly rolled flatbread almost resembling pastry sheets and are used for layering in some desserts. The Yufka is very similar to Lavash and uses just the basic ingredients like flour, salt, oil, and water. The yufka is rolled very thin and then cooked on a heavy iron plate called Sac. I used a heavy flat pan to cook the yufka....
Here we are, rounding out the year once again! I know, I’m coming at you with kitchen gadgets at the busiest time of the year!

So if you’re looking to make some improvements to your kitchen game or buy some great tried-and-true gifts for friends or family, I’ve got you covered!...
Make sure not to skip or skimp on the cinnamon apple crumb. That is one of my kids’ favorites and they look forward to the crumb topping. We just blinked and the summer just zoomed by and we are in the fall season already. The weather is turning a tad bit chilly and this is the time for fall decors, Halloween, Apples, and Pumpkin. Depending on where we live the fruits and vegetables for that particular region vary, but overall, for me, nothing talks fall weather more than apples and pumpkins....
