Hello there! This weekend was a doozy, so I’m bringing my instant pot coconut rice recipe a day later than anticipated. It is so worth the wait though; promise. I can’t tell you the number of requests I’ve gotten over the years on how to make jasmine coconut rice. You mean jasmine rice, cooked in coconut milk, right? Not dessert? We’re talking about coconut rice that you’d serve with something savory, right?...
You guys! Can you believe we’re just a couple of days away from the New Year? When did this even happen? I’m all over here thinking we’ve still got a good week or so left and then the weekend came and poof we’re down to the last few speckles of 2014. How was your Christmas? I hope it was extra fabulous this year. The end of the year is both a little sad and a little exciting for me....
Adding fruits to the milk always perks up my kids. Also giving the kids smoothies for their evening run keeps them filled up until dinner. I have added cardamom to give a little different flavor. If you are not a big fan of cardamom you could always use cinnamon or leave it out. Also leaving the skin on is to retain the entire nutrition of the apple and I also like the crunch it gives to the smoothie....
published Jul 21, 2021, updated Aug 21, 2024 Kabsa is the national dish of Saudia Arabia. It contains many ingredients and spices representative of Middle Eastern cooking, and makes an amazing, flavorful group meal! This one-pan Arabic chicken and rice dish is made with bone-in chicken. Originating from traditional Bedouin cuisine, it symbolizes hospitality and is a staple at social gatherings and celebrations. The dark meat remains succulent and juicy while it bakes, and the skin on the meat is gradually flavored with tomatoes, garlic, onions, chicken broth, saffron, dried lime and several other spices that are simmered along with the tender rice....
Greek Lemon Soup is seriously the best kind of comfort food. It starts with humble ingredients like onions, carrots, celery, and a few chicken breasts or thighs. We’ll also need some dry rice that will simmer and cook right in the chicken stock. And right at the end we’ll do a little egg drop into the soup – Greek style and add plenty of lemon juice to make this one comforting yet spring-ready bowl of soup!...
Bacon Egg Cups Egg muffin cups are one of my favorite easy breakfasts because they are perfectly portioned and super easy to make. This version is savory, with crispy bacon, gooey cheese and fresh green onions for a super flavor-packed breakfast or snack. These are especially great for busy mornings when the family has to eat and be out the door quickly! Instead of scrambling (no pun intended) for breakfast, you can have these on hand, pop them in the microwave and go!...
Busy mornings! We’ve all had them. Mine always happen when we both hit snooze on the alarm clocks about eight times before realizing we’re going to be super late. Hubby needs to be at work by 8 am and has an hour-long commute while I’m trying to rush out the door to get in my Orange Theory class before I’m awake enough time to talk myself out of it. For mornings like these, I love having these simple breakfast croissant boats in the fridge or freezer because all I have to do is pop one into the toaster oven and make coffee....

About the Decoration For the decoration scheme I wanted to go as preppy as possible so two tone stripes with simple dollops of alternating flavors on top. I loved the look of this cake and always think it’s nice to give guests a bit of a choice when it comes to dessert! Pipe your alternating bands then fill in any gaps with a piping bag that you’ve snipped a smaller opening on....
Looking for something to go with these tacos? Try black bean and corn salsa, equally good as a topping or as a side salad! Taco night is always a big hit in our house or when we serve them for guests. I’ve made tacos in so many different ways, including with ground beef, pulled pork and lovely flaky fish. But these black beans pop with so much flavour they may just be my favourite!...

Can’t get enough of this goodness? Take a look at another Italian inspired dish Italian Wedding Soup. It also features meatballs and pasta but has a very different flavour! My favourite soup growing up was this Russian Frikadeller (Meatball) Soup and I have never grown out of my love for meatballs. I am pretty sure the feeling is shared by most adults and kids if my own is any indication....
What You Need to Make This Recipe Chicken breasts — I like using boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but you could use chicken thighs in a pinch. You will need to adjust the cooking time for thighs. Oil — vegetable oil, canola oil, olive oil, peanut oil, and sunflower oil are great for deep frying. These oils are neutral in flavor and have a high smoke point. Breadcrumbs — I use plain breadcrumbs, but if you only have seasoned breadcrumbs, you can swap and skip adding garlic powder and salt to it....
This recipe is also incredibly versatile! I outline the easy steps to make a combination of dark chocolate-covered strawberries, white chocolate strawberries, and a mix of the two. You can get creative with how you decorate the strawberries or make a variety of different designs and combinations- let your creativity run wild!

What I love about this pumpkin chocolate bread recipe is that it’s decadent, but by ditching empty calories for wholesome ingredients like pumpkin puree and almond flour, this chocolate loaf cake is super moist, tender, fluffy, rich, and surprisingly nutritious....
I love a little sweetness in my bread. I am always tempted to buy a loaf of cinnamon raisin bread when I am shopping and every time I do so, I realize how expensive that tiny loaf of bread is. Making this bread at home is no different from baking a regular loaf of bread. It just requires a couple of extra ingredients. Long back I had bookmarked this recipe from the Pioneer Woman’s website and I have wanted to make it forever since then....
