Just like V - my boy , his mama also needs something delicious and a treat.These cookies are a result of this craving 😉 I admit. Milk and some cookies ! Gobble Gobble.. One for every day. One or may be two after school everyday. A quicky search on the internet, led me to this no fail cookie recipe. Find the link here. While I was making the dough for this cookies, I had baked the my instant fairy cupcakes for Tea and Brownies for the week!...

I don’t know anyone who does not LOVE crispy fries. I remember going to Mcdonald’s when I was younger just for the fries. The perfect fries must be crispy from the outside (but not tough) and fluffy from the inside with a strong potato flavor, they must be well-seasoned, and served hot. So if you achieve these 3 things, you’ll end up with the perfect fries. First, let me tell you how deep-fried french fries are made: French fries are peeled, soaked in cold vinegar water, then they’re blanched and twice-fried in hot oil....

Chili is one of my go-to recipes on cold days when I want a hearty warming meal, but don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen. It’s also very healthy as it’s packed with plant-based protein since it’s made with 4 types of beans. I usually make a large pot of this flavorful chili to enjoy for 2 days (I cook for 2, so the amounts that I’m giving for this recipe is enough for 4 portions)....

It really is saying something that these tiny little appetizers give the prime rib a run for its money. They are so good, and the perfect size (perfect for eating like 10 of them, I mean). They are chewy and cheesy and (I’ve recently discovered) super easy to make. All you do is throw everything in the blender and then bake. No rising. You don’t even have to deal with dry ingredients vs....

I have a serious question for you guys. At what point do you call it quits on a book? So, I have this thing where I find it so difficult to give up on a book, especially if it is by an author that I’ve previously loved. I keep wanting to hold out hope that a book is going to get better . . . and I just end up not reading it, or really anything....

Did you know that cauliflower is the perfect low carb, non-dairy thickener for really any blended vegetable soup? This soup also has amazing flavor thanks to the addition of fresh fennel and fresh rosemary which, when combined, makes for a wonderful balance of flavors. By the way, this soup is only 7 grams net carbs per serving if you’re eating keto. If you’re counting calories, it’s 262 calories per serving....

The first time I had Hubby Dear over at my place for dinner, I hate to admit it, but he was one of those, “I’m in the neighbourhood and I think it’ll be awesome if I drop by for some dinner cooked by you!“. We had just started seeing each other a few months ago. He was in town on some work and thought that instead of meeting up somewhere, it would be great if I could cook him up a meal....

With back-to-school planning going on in full swing at our home, the ONE that usually stresses me out the most is what to pack in Little Dude’s lunch box. Coming up with creative lunch ideas every morning five times a week seems crazy and understandably very hard for most of us busy moms. Which is why I like to have a handy list of ten to fifteen options that are quick and/or easy to pull together in a pinch!...

Sometimes when you get something from a restaurant, you decide you just have to make it at home so you can have it all of the time. It is like that for me with Chipotle’s Corn Salsa. This simple and easy salsa is based on their recipe. We added just a bit more roasted pepper and ours is slightly less sweet, but we like it even more. How to Make Chipotle Corn Salsa How to Roast a Poblano Pepper To roast the poblano pepper for this recipe, set it right over the heat on your stovetop....

No bake phyllo cups are filled with homemade chocolate mousse, topped with store bought cream cheese frosting and adorned with shaved chocolate. Now that summer is here, it’s hard to find quick and easy desserts to make that don’t have you stuck in the kitchen over a hot stove or oven. Well look no further. I have the perfect solution and it’s a double whammy that takes a lot of help from the grocery store....

Honestly, I haven’t always been much of a pie person. And I am certainly not a person who likes nuts in their dessert. But all of that flies out the window when it comes to this amazing Chocolate Pecan Pie recipe. Something about the combination of pecan, brown sugar, and chocolate in the most perfect flakey pie crust steals my heart. This recipe is one that you definitely cannot pass up....

Food and wine pairing is a very specific art more than a science. Gone are the days of red wine with beef or white wine with fish. Why wouldn’t you want to have the best tasting experience you can while eating and drinking fine wine? When entertaining, I love to serve food that pairs with wine. The wine not only bring out the flavors of the food, but also enhance the essence of the wine....

There is something about the combination of sweet and salty that makes a treat irresistible. The two elements play off of each other to make the perfect overall flavor, and a snack that you won’t be able to stop eating. Christmas Pretzel Hugs are a no-brainer when it comes to a cookie tray filler or a shareable treat for the office. They take all of five minutes to make with a quick trip to the oven, and only require 3 ingredients....

Christmas Tree Waffles A couple of years ago we started making these Christmas tree waffles in our house, so the kids enjoy them in the morning before or after opening their presents. I usually put different treats in little bowls to decorate the waffles and let the kids decorate their own waffles with sprinkles, chocolate, candy, and fresh fruit. How to Make the Waffles Green? There are three options to make these waffles green, you can simply add green food coloring, or use matcha, or even kale powder!...

This is the perfect fall recipe. It’s another great recipe to use up some of those fresh orchard apples if you have had the chance to go picking. Our family has been so busy with sports it hasn’t happened yet, but I’m crossing my fingers for this weekend. Best Apples For Baking This bread can be made with any type of apples you have on hand. I prefer to use a combination of apples that hold up well when baked, such as Gala or Granny Smith....

Have you ever tried an eggplant jam? I know that this might sound unusual to you, but in the Middle East, eggplant jam is actually a thing! It’s a Middle Eastern delicacy that’s popular in Jordan, Palestine, and Syria (I believe that it originated from Syria). Mini eggplants are slowly simmered with sugar as they are infused with warm sweet cinnamon and cloves until a jam consistency is reached. This recipe is so fun to make, and you will love the fact that mini eggplants are left as whole fruit in the jam, which makes this jam even more fun to eat!...

Since the kitchen can often turn into a furnace with the stove running, our everyday meals tend to change up quite a bit. The oven is almost never turned on. Slow simmering soups, stews and curries give way to quick stir-fries, one-pot meals and fresh, crisp salads and sandwiches. In short, summer is the time when I spend the least time in my kitchen and a whole lot more time buried in books with the AC cranked up pretty high!...

Eric went to my recipe index yesterday because he wanted to make these Butter Pecans (a Christmas classic around here). He went to the page, hit ctrl+ F, typed in “butter,” and got 32 matches. That’s right, apparently 32 of my recipes have butter in the title. I have no shame in adding one more today. I could drink this Warm Vanilla Butter Sauce straight. (And I would, if I wanted to die by 30....

As a spunky 17 year old starting fresh at college and living in a hostel miles away from the caring tender hands that caressed Mom’s cooking, I had grudgingly succumbed myself to the meals catered at my college campus. To my added disappointment, not only did the food lack in flavour and eye appeal but it also somehow failed in providing me with the limited array of greens that I actually thought were edible, to say the least....

Not only is this cake easy to make, it is incredibly light and moist. It is fluffy and delicious, just as cake should be. When it is done we top it with the same amazing chocolate frosting that we use in my Easy Chocolate Cake. Put away your mixers, you just need some bananas and a few bowls for this amazing cake. If you are considering speeding up the browning by throwing your bananas in the oven I would offer a word of caution....
