It’s creamy, it’s flavorful, it’s quick enough for busy weeknights, and it tastes better than what you’d find at a restaurant! Slightly briny and perfectly savory, with a hint of sweetness from the tender clams, this easy soup recipe tastes fancy without any fuss. Just grab some canned clams, bacon, and a few pantry staples, and you can have dinner on the table in no time. While clam chowder is typically served with oyster crackers, it is also insanely good with breadsticks, no-knead beer bread, or crusty artisan bread....

published Jan 29, 2024 You’ll never get the same sweet and savory Japanese restaurant taste without getting the teriyaki sauce just right — it’s the foundation that all other flavors build on! To create an umami teriyaki from scratch, you only need 4 ingredients: soy sauce, mirin, sake, and water. Just boil it, bottle it, and use it however you like! Plus, the simplicity of this teriyaki recipe also leaves plenty of room for experimentation and customization!...

If you are a fan of delicious and hearty salads that fill you up like a meal, take a look at another reader favourite Potato and Chicken Salad ‘Olivier’. Coronation Chicken Salad is an absolute staple when it comes to British lunches but it remains relatively unknown outside of the British Isles. I have never heard of it until we moved to London years ago. As with many classic recipes, this one is ubiquitous in most UK shops, which is both good and bad....

Cranberry orange scones. They were my favorite until I tossed in a handful of chopped pistachios and swapped the vanilla glaze for a more citrusy version. I’m never eating regular cranberry scones ever again. This is the way to go. But before we get to the scones, how was your weekend? Did you brave the malls, go to any great holiday parties, did you go to the ballet? It was my birthday weekend so we spent it with some friends....

Creamy, dreamy, and lemony! My favorite descriptors for a perfect summer dessert. Luckily for me, my homemade lemon tiramisu hits all of those marks. It’s no secret that I love a good lemon dessert. See here and here for proof. For this recipe, we start with a homemade lemon simple syrup – don’t worry, it’s just a combination of water sugar, lemon juice, lemon slices, and basil. If you can toss it all in a saucepan, you can make this easy simple syrup recipe (which, might I add is great for summer cocktails and mocktails?...

What you’re looking at here isn’t another green coconut curry recipe. It’s the stuff my childhood was made of. ???? It’s damn near impossible for me to stare at a picture of creamy, flavorful curry without wanting to face plant into an entire pot full of dis stuff. Serious confession here: I had absolutely no idea what to call this recipe. I mean yeah it could be a ‘green curry’ or ‘yellow curry’ but in the end I know better....

I’m going to tell you a big secret. And you might need to sit down for this one. Green bean casserole was never really on the top of hubby’s (or my own, come to think of it) Thanksgiving food list. Are you still breathing? The majority of green bean casseroles the both of us had experienced in the past, usually consisted of a casserole dish filled with beans that once used to be green, perhaps lifetimes ago, stirred into a gelatinous cream of mushroom soup....

Serve with our Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes for a cozy dinner at home. This meatloaf recipe is coming from our family archives. Do you have such a recipe you used to love and then completely forgot about it? Well this meatloaf, alongside my version of classic meatloaf, is one of those. It used to be on a regular rotation for midweek dinners, weekends and even when guests came over. Then I decided it was too retro....

Looking for a great starter for this one pan meal? Why not give this Spinach Apple Salad with Bacon and Blue Cheese a try? I am so thrilled to share this fabulous recipe with you. It’s hard to go wrong when chicken in a cream sauce is involved. Am I right? This tarragon flavoured sauce is one of the most beautiful inventions of the French cuisine but sadly not as popular in other countries and it should change....

You might be wondering just what Tuscan chicken is and if you’ll find this in Tuscany. This is an Americanized version of Italian food that has become a mainstream comfort food classic thanks to its tasty sun-dried tomato flavored sauce. If you’re looking for some other weeknight dinners, you should try my Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs, Penne Alla Vodka recipe, or my chicken shawarma recipe. What You Need to Make this Recipe Chicken breasts – I like to pound them slightly so they are an even thickness but not too thin....

The Best Simple Crispy Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts For many of us, being force-fed mushy, boiled Brussels sprouts as a child, made us swear off them as an adult. However, if this is you, it’s time to give this little green vegetable a second chance! These air fryer Brussel sprouts are amazingly crispy, lightly caramelized, nutty, and packed with sweet and savory flavor and texture! When paired with a maple balsamic glaze (or the seasonings/toppings of your choice), they’ll become a new favorite side dish, no matter the occasion....

Crispy and sticky have got to be the best way to eat chicken. And this honey garlic chicken is exactly that. We pan-fry the chicken cutlets until they form a crispy brown crust and then dip them in honey garlic sauce and serve it up alongside steamed veggies (doused in more sauce obviously) and some white rice. Ugh! Hands down one of my favorite dinners of all time! Speaking of hot and crispy chicken, this Friday we were supposed to check out a new food truck in town – it offers hot fried chicken sandwiches the size of Texas!...

This fantastic gravy needs an equally fabulous companion. Don’t forget to grab our favourite recipe for a herb and garlic rubbed roast turkey. Whenever I plan a menu for holiday meals, gravy never seems to get its own line on the list. Not because it’s not important, far from it. In my mind I simply assume its presence. Whether or not on the list, gravy will be made and enjoyed by all....

Drools I am in love. I am obsessed. I am gaga over this raspberry cream cheese Danish braid! This braid reminds me of happier/drier times when I wasn’t being rained on or at least threatening to by looming dark clouds. Ay yai yai! Just gimme a minute to gather myself (and to lick the final little bit of icing off my sticky fingers and try and attempt to string together coherent sentences)!...

What You’ll Need for This Recipe Eggs: Large or extra large eggs will work well. You can add a few more into the recipe if desired. Apple: I love using Honey Crisp apples but any sweet eating apple will work well. I would note recommend Granny Smith (too tart) or Red Delicious (too mealy). Potato: Yukon Gold are nice and creamy but you could also use baby red potatoes. How to make Egg Salad Place the eggs a in a pot of water and bring to a boil....

I love the color scheme and all the cute sprinkles on the bottom. I know a lot of people are not into drip cakes but I love the soft pink crown on this cake! What do you think? If you find cake decorating to be a bit intimidating then check out my How to Decorate a Cake post, it has lots of helpful tips and a full how to video....

Comforting German Potato Dumplings Right now, I’m completely and utterly in the mood for comfort food and good classics from my childhood. These German potato dumplings (also referred to as Kartoffelklöße, and/or Kartoffelknödel – though English speakers often refer to them as Knoedel or Kloesse) are extremely common in Germany. They can be served alongside many dishes but are especially popular with Sunday roasts and at Christmastime, along with cooked red cabbage (Rotkraut) and meatloaf (Sauerbraten)....

published Apr 04, 2022, updated Jul 03, 2024 Grilled tahini chicken is succulent and dripping with all of the best flavors of the Mediterranean. The marinade is quick and simple to make, and it doubles as a creamy sauce to drizzle over the charred, smoky chicken. Tahini paste is key to not just the juicy, tender meat, but also its delicious flavor. It makes many a creamy dip, sauce, condiment, and even a dressing!...

To try another recipe from the South of Italy, take a look at our Baked Gnocchi with Meat Sauce and Mozzarella as well as our Bruschetta Recipe Trio for more eggplant cooking ideas! It’s been longer than a year since we last visited Italy, which was around the beautiful Amalfi Coast. Southern Italy brings a lot of vibrant flavours to the Italian cuisine all thanks to the relentless sunshine. The produce, grown in that part of the country, is legendary, and the locals take full advantage of the fruits of their labour by creating wholesome, vegetable packed dishes....
