Looking for more Slow Cooker Soup Recipes? Then try my Slow Cooker Chicken Tortellini Soup or my Copycat Slow Cooker Minestrone Soup. Slow Cooker Turkey Chili When I think of comfort food I can’t help but think of Chili. It’s hearty, warm and loaded with so much flavor. Sitting down to a large bowl of chili is one of my favorite things to do in the Fall and Winter! This recipe is similar to my original crockpot chili recipe however I lightened it up a bit using lean ground turkey and adding a lot more veggies and beans!...

What You Need to Make This Recipe Baking powder — make sure to use fresh baking powder as it helps the cookies rise in the oven. Expired baking powder will lead to a dense cookie. Butter — be sure to take the butter out of the fridge ahead of time to soften to room temperature. The butter needs to be at room temperature to cream smoothly. Also, be sure to use unsalted butter as there is already salt added to the recipe....

Fall recipes are not complete without cooking with sweet potatoes. Fall or not, sweet potato is one of our favorite vegetables and any day my boys prefer this over any other vegetable. The next best part is my boys love roasted vegetables. That is when I thought why not make Spicy Oven Roasted Sweet Potatoes over the weekend? As soon as the aroma of the sweet potatoes roasting in the oven started filling the house, the boys were behind me asking when will it be done....

Crispy Baked or Air-Fried Spinach Tacos How pretty are these oven baked green tacos? I just love the natural green color, which is so vibrant and rich! The secret? Spinach! I made my favorite Spinach Tortillas which are seriously my go-to recipe for healthy tortillas! These spinach tortillas are much healthier than any tortillas from the store. Why? Not only are they gluten-free, but they are also plant-based (dairy-free) and protein-rich....

Thank you to the lovely people over at Sub-Zero and Wolf & SheKnows Media for sponsoring this post! You guys!! I just got back from visiting the Sub-Zero and Wolf showroom here in Houston. And let me explain my experience to you in just one simple word — AMAZING. It truly was! These showrooms are a wonderful place to start if you’re thinking about sprucing up the kitchen and can’t really decide on the first step....

And if you’re baking these chewy sugar cookie bars for an occasion, it’s so easy to change up the colors and decoration! For a little holiday spirit, leave the buttercream white and use red and green sprinkles. For a baby shower, use pastel sprinkles and get creative with the frosting color. White frosting is a classic for any event, or you can color different parts of the frosting and pipe decorations or a celebratory message on the top....

When thinking of tarts and pies, the first thing that comes to my mind is dessert. This savory tart made with sun dried tomato, onion and olives is a great alternate to the routine. This is my second month of participating in the Baking Partners and it is so much fun. This month’s theme was ‘PIE’. There was a real cool Apple pie recipe that I absolutely wanted to try, but having eaten so many sweet treats this month, I decided not to (at least for now)....

Santorini, Greece! I can’t even begin to tell you how long visiting the Greek islands has been on my bucket list. After Italy, Greece was the next European destination that my husband and I have always wanted to visit. We went right at the tail end of June. That definitely meant that tourist season was kicking off in full swing! I will say that every Greek island – Naxos, Paros, Milos, Santorini, Mykonos, etc....

Do you see that nice, thick frosting that’s topping these fudge brownies? That’s right. That’s thick, gooey, creamy, rich, and decadent fudge frosting. Actually, I don’t even think I can call it frosting. It’s ganache. Really, it’s just melted chocolate and heavy cream. We’re making fudge brownies with heavenly melted ganache frosting topped with toasted walnuts. Sinful? I think so. These brownies. They’re all gone. It took less than 3 days for the entire pan to disappear....

SWEET HEAT. That’s the only way I know how to describe this southern deviled eggs recipe. We’re starting off the way you do for all of your deviled eggs – by boiling the eggs. Now if you have a fool-proof egg boiling and peeling method for your that you’ve perfected over the years, use it. Once the eggs are done, we’ll make a whipped yolk mixture with mayo, a couple of seasonings, mustard, and sweet relish....

published May 10, 2021, updated Jun 26, 2024 “Gai” is the Thai word for “chicken,” and “yang” means “grilled.” And that’s what this is — grilled Thai chicken! The simple name does nothing to reveal the complex flavors in this Thai chicken recipe. Floral lemongrass, spicy chilis, salty fish sauce, sweet honey and brown sugar, and sesame oil are just a few of the ingredients that will season gai yang chicken....

ESPRESSO PATRONUM! I am such a Potter nerd. But let’s face it, this is probably one of the only times I could have used that one and just barely gotten away with it. Can you blame me for jumping at the opportunity? Eggless Tiramisu is what we’re making today. Ladyfingers or savoiardi biscuits soaked in freshly brewed espresso and layered in between whipped swoops of mascarpone and finished with a generous dusting of cocoa powder....

I consider thengai thogayal to be the ultimate comfort food. I grew up eating this coconut thuvayal on top of steaming hot rice and a lot of ghee. Amma would usually make Milagu Jeera rasam to go with it and we will eat it either with some kind of roasted curry or just appalam (papad). There are days when we have no fresh produce and this thogayal is the perfect recipe for those days....

If you are a fan of big salads with fish, take a look at our Salmon Cobb Salad with Lemon Dill Dressing. This summer I am all about salads. I can’t be the only one, who favours them when the temps get too high to cook anything more involved. I love salads but I prefer them with a bit more substance than just lettuce and a slice of tomato. Nicoise Salad or Salade Nicoise is one of those offerings with a bit more heft than your usual tossed salad....

This cake is perfect for get-togethers as it tastes incredible when it has had extra time to soak in the milks. Thanks to the three milks, the cake is super moist and tender even though it does not use butter or oil. If you want another recipe using condensed milk, then try my better than sex cake recipe, flan recipe, or dulce de leche recipe. What You Need to Make This Recipe Baking powder — make sure to double-check that the baking powder you have is fresh....

Healthy, Gluten-Free Cranberry Bread I love the holiday season. Almost everyone is in a festive mood and excited about Christmas. And there is probably nothing more festive than a delicious, moist, and soft cranberry loaf. This cranberry bread is not only vegan, but it’s also gluten-free, oil-free, and healthy. It has a sugar-free frosting which is still sweet and so much healthier than refined sugar! So let’s have a look at this glorious dessert!...

Looking for the traditional version of this dish? We’ve got you! Check out Easy Dan Dan Noodles, made with ground pork. I came across dan dan noodles (or dandan noodles) not too long ago. It’s too bad – I wish I had been eating them my whole life! Dan dan noodles explode with flavour, especially when perfectly balanced with exactly the right amount of spiciness. Although traditionally made with ground pork, it is incredibly easy to make this dish vegan without losing any of the delicious flavour....

Healthier No-Bake Pumpkin Bars Opposed to my vegan pumpkin cake, this recipe is a no-bake recipe, which means it goes straight into the freezer and not into the oven. You might ask yourself now if a no-bake dessert is better than a baked recipe? I think both are equally amazing, but normally you can’t “screw up” a no-bake dessert. Here is a pretty cool explanation from my friend @jodiskitchen which she left on my Instagram account....

Roasted Garlic White Bean Dip With A Veggie Topping If you love hummus, you’ll adore this roasted garlic and white bean dip. It’s wonderfully creamy and contains many of the same elements – such as garlic, lemon, olive oil, and tahini. However, it’s even lighter and more aromatic thanks to the usage of roasted garlic and mixed Italian herbs. Top it off with roasted veggies or your topping of choice for a quick, simple, and healthy crowd-pleasing appetizer, dip or spread....

Baking with whole wheat is one of my favorites as I love the nuttiness of the whole grain. These whole grain Apple Cranberry Muffins are my ever favorite. Anytime a recipe calls for all-purpose flour, I try it once as is, then I try it with 50% wheat flour substitution, and sometimes I completely replace the refined flour with whole wheat. I have to say though that not all recipes work great with whole wheat....
