Strawberries Fresh sweet strawberries that are picked in the peak of summer will be best for this cocktail. That being said, the simple syrup really compliments the strawberries and even strawberries from the grocery store will be great. You want to look for strawberries that are bright red with green stems. Look closely at the package because one strawberry that is at the end of its life can ruin a whole package....
This recipe combines all of the flavors and comfort of stuffed cabbage rolls into a simple-to-make soup that rarely leaves any leftovers. Stuffed Cabbage Soup is one of my favorite shortcuts! Traditional stuffed cabbage rolls are such a delicious treat, but while I enjoy eating them when my mom or someone else makes them for me, I rarely make them myself. This is because stuffing cabbage rolls is a very time-consuming process!...
Storing and Reheating Store the chicken and broccoli in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. I recommend storing the chicken and broccoli in a separate container from the rice. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop. Serve over fresh or reheated rice. In this delicious Teriyaki Chicken, we are using it both as a marinade and as a sauce for the recipe. The result is a delicious dinner that you could easily prep the night before for an easier dinnertime when you get home from work....
I remember the very first time I was introduced to Thai food, and this Thai Basil Chicken in particular. I was about 13 and on our family vacation in Bangkok. I have fond memories of those five days; most of which revolve around the culture and shopping in Thailand and none, unfortunately of its cuisine. You see, my Dad is not in the least adventurous when it comes to his food....
French Onion Pasta has been all over TikTok and IG. With its slowly caramelized onions and gruyere cheese, it’s obviously a viral sensation. I’ve put my own spin on this TikTok pasta recipe to make it even better! I’ve added mushrooms to make the pasta more filling and cooked the pasta separately from the sauce, so it’s technically not a one pot pasta recipe. I’ve tested French onion pasta using the one pot pasta method, and I much prefer it this way!...
My Easy Quiche Recipe is my go-to when I’m hosting a brunch or lunch for friends, but I’ve recently been obsessed with this mini quiche version!

All you need is a mini muffin pan, some pie crust, eggs, and a few other ingredients to make this simple hand-held snack that’s wonderful for breakfast, brunch, or a light meal....
This quick and easy pumpkin banana muffin recipe is a combination of two of my all-time favorite muffin recipes: Pumpkin Muffins and Banana muffins. Adding both pumpkin puree and mashed banana to the muffins makes them insanely tender and moist, but fluffy at the same time. I have a tasty recipe for banana strawberry muffins that you should try too. It’s perfect for summertime when strawberries are in season. And banana pumpkin muffins are perfect for fall, when pumpkin-spice everything is in season!...
I also included FREE Thanksgiving printables for you at the end of the post, so make sure not to miss them! Shopping The first thing that you have to think about is what type of bird should you buy? This will determine the quality and flavor of the bird, and its impacts on the environment as in how it was raised. Here’s what you should look for and what do the labels mean:...

This is essentially a tomato sauce spaghetti with olives, capers and anchovies. Let’s talk anchovies. If you don’t like them don’t worry, you will not taste them, I promise. I can’t get my husband to eat anything remotely fishy and he loves this dish. The anchovies do add amazing, savory flavor to the sauce and therefore are a must! The olives, which are another important component, give the dish its distinct look....

Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram “I think he’s drunk. Have you had him walk a straight line, or do finger-to-nose yet?” “Poor kid. It’s rough being 4. 😂” “At least the eyelashes were spared!!” “I hope he makes it to adulthood.” I sure hope he does too guys, it gets pretty dicey sometimes with this kid!! His face is all red, not from scorch marks (thank goodness), but because earlier that day at “play school,” he decided to paint his face instead of the paper....
I use this recipe almost every other day. I love roasted, chewy sweet potatoes in my salad or as a quick side. It keeps me full for longer. The texture of air-fried sweet potato goes very well in a crunchy salad. It gives it the perfect contrast to all that crispiness. You could bake these in the oven too but I find that the sweet potatoes are crispier and more evenly cooked with the air fryer method....
Lasagna roll ups are one of my favorite ways to serve lasagna because they’re so easy to handle! Having any leftovers makes freezing them for later a breeze. No need to thaw the entire dish, just take out what you need and reheat a serving for one. This chicken alfredo lasagna is a delicious alternative to the classic recipe giving it a creamier cheesier flavor, thanks to mozzarella and parmesan, which your whole family will love!...

Truth be told, I always make my Chocolate Chip Banana Bread . . . never this plain version. But the other day when we couldn’t get to the store, and I didn’t have any chocolate chips, I made this. It was a HUGE hit! My kids were skeptics, but have since discovered that they indeed love banana bread, with or without chocolate chips. And I know that your kids are going to feel the same way....
Ten years ago, I sat down at my computer to write the story about this one time when Eric and I knocked on the neighbor’s door to share a plate of cookies. Dude answered the door in nothing but a towel. We all just stared at each other for a moment, eyes wide, and he finally said, “I thought you were someone else.” Well, here we are years later, and I’m still telling slightly inappropriate stories and throwing my food at strangers....
Fudgy Crinkle Cookies Everyone has had a chocolate crinkle cookie, right?? These cookies are ubiquitous around the holidays, and with good reason! They are the ultimate in fudgy chocolate decadence. Chocolate just never lets you down, you know? Every day we have to come up with a new excuse. “It’s a long way to the North Pole…” “There must have been a snow storm…” I think we’re slowly crushing our kid’s spirits....
I tried to explain a capsule wardrobe to my brother Nathan. “Basically it’s where you give away all of your clothes that you don’t wear, and just keep the things you really love.” I think he’s right. Why do women complicate everything?? I told her they eat these cupcakes. (Although REALLY I should have told her what my brother tells his kids: that dinosaurs ate spinach, and if they want to be cool like dinosaurs, they better eat their salad....
This dish is elegant enough for entertaining, and comforting enough for a chilly night by the fire. This creamy mushroom risotto has a lovely nutty aroma and is one of the easiest risotto recipes that is on the table in under 30 minutes. The perfect one pan Italian meal, just add a nice glass of wine. The flavor combination of mushrooms and sage is delicious. Browned butter takes this duo to new heights....
