I love serving these lil smokies for any occasion! Whether I’m making them for game day, to feed a crowd, or just for dinner, they are always gone first! They make a great appetizer that is loved by adults and kids alike, and no one will ever know that they’re made with just a few ingredients! What are Little Smokies? If you’re wondering what are little smokies, these are just miniature smoked cocktail sausages or cocktail wieners (pork or beef)....

I compiled a list of my best recipes that are suitable for beginners, with straight forward steps and remember that you will need to scroll down to the recipe card to find the amounts of the ingredients used in each recipe. I also wrote an Instant Pot Guide that covers everything from all of the Instant Pot terms, to care and cooking times! If you have any recipe questions, leave a comment on the recipe post and I will get back to you as soon as I see it....

Try pairing with Garlic naan and green chutney! What is Paneer Tikka? ‘Paneer’ is Indian cottage Cheese and ‘Tikka’ is marinated and cooked. Just toss the paneer, onion and peppers in a spicy yogurt marinade and then thread on the skewers. Simply air fry. If you have time, leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Now If you are planning to cook in the oven, the good news is, you really don’t need thread the skewer too....

About my super simple recipe - air fryer vegetarian fajitas You already know my love for air frying and its unmatched convenience! It’s quicker and more convenient than using the oven or stove, just like my Air Fryer Parmentier Potatoes, Air Fryer Courgettes, or Roasted Air Fryer Carrots. Simply toss peppers, onions, and halloumi cheese with fajita seasoning, then air fry until the peppers are tender and crunchy, while the halloumi cheese turns golden....

I woke up to this email from Suzan this morning: Since the last year, I’ve spent almost every Monday afternoon with a bunch of enthusiastic food-loving people teaching them quick and nutritious recipes at my ‘What’s for Dinner‘ classes. These classes mostly last for a little over an hour and include the cooking demo, as well as a lunch-sized portion of the cooked recipe for you to taste. Needless to say, the recipes usually take not more than 30 minutes from stove to plate, and this Instant Rajma Masala or Red Kidney Bean Curry using canned beans is a perfect contender....

Friday is my day to make something special for weekend breakfasts and these Bacon Cheddar Muffins are on regular rotation. What I love about these muffins (other than my love of bacon and cheese) was that they are not too sweet, but you still get that ‘sweet/savory’ element which I love. The muffins also have cornmeal which gives them great texture and bite with just a hint of maple flavor....

Eggplants are one of the most versatile vegetables that can be made to take on pretty much any kind of flavors. As the eggplant slowly cooks, the spice blend penetrates through the eggplant making it succulent and extremely flavourful on the inside. This dish is best enjoyed when served with a side of freshly made warm rotis and a light chutney. You can also serve it alongside a flavorful rice dish like this Matar Pulao and some salad....

Learn how to make this delicious Crispy Cauliflower with the step by step method below. ABOUT THIS RECIPE - EASY BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER WINGS It can be spicy, but you can always add a little less hot sauce for reduced heat!

These are so so good! Crispy skin, melty cheese potatoes.Ah Heaven! This potato dish is somewhere between baked potatoes and scalloped potatoes. The parmesan crisps up along with the potato skins making is just heavenly! The insides are warm, soft and buttery. A perfect little dish that’s equal parts crispy and soft! It has potatoes, cheese and butter. There is a little chance of it not being awesome. Obviously! Inspired from this dish, I recently made these garlic butter air fryer hasselback potatoes....

Best Beef For Stir Fry The best cut of beef for this recipe is flank steak. The key to cooking with flank steak is to marinate it before using it to tenderize the meat. If you are unable to find flank steak, you could substitute it with skirt steak. I would urge you to avoid pre-cut beef that is labeled “stir fry meat.” Even with marinating, it won’t become nearly as tender....

I love the tang of the BBQ sauce in the dressing. It’s not overwhelming and doesn’t really taste like BBQ. Eric and I made this 2 days in a row because there wasn’t any leftover after the potluck, and we needed more BLT in our lives. It’s just the perfect summer food! Throw on some grilled or rotisserie chicken to make a meal out of it. (Or more bacon…) Have you seen that Office episode where the GPS tells Michael Scott to turn and he drives into the lake?...

Best Vodka For Bloody Marys When choosing a vodka for any cocktail, I always recommend using one that you enjoy the flavor of. Because the Bloody Mary mix provides a lot of flavor in this recipe, the flavor of the vodka itself isn’t as prominent therefore there is no need to use a top-shelf vodka. Tito’s is my recommendation. If you are hosting a brunch, you need to grab this great recipe for Bloody Marys....

Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram But just the other day, Valentine (4) comes up to me while I’m sitting on the couch with a blanket on my lap. She pulls it back, looks right at my midsection and says, “It still looks like you’ve got a baby in your tummy, Mommy.” Well THANKS A LOT KID. Someday when I’m old people will ask me, Didn’t you have a second daughter?...

I’m one of those super boring restaurant people. You would think, as a food blogger, that I would be the one who’s ready to try the new and exciting things on a menu. Nope. Not me. I’m the one ordering the bacon cheeseburger again and again, because guess what you guys? Cheeseburgers will NEVER let you down!! Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram But the classics never will. Particularly cheeseburgers. As Ron Swanson says, “It’s a hamburger made out of meat on a bun, with nothing....

Nothing cheers me up faster than soul music. Seriously, I can be in the worst mood ever, having a sniffle session while googling “how to get my toddler to not hate me” and “how to enjoy reading Harold and the Purple Crayon 78 times in a row,” but then I’ll turn on some soul music and suddenly it’s all making cookies and dancing in the kitchen. Okay, that last part was Eric’s idea....

While we’ve gorged on feasts of rich sinful food the past couple of days, it’s now time to loosen down a little before the biggest feast of the season – the New Year’s Dinner that I plan and carry out with much elegance. The menu has been tried and tested, the serving dishes have been laid out and friends and loved ones have been duly warned to come with ready and growing appetites....

Chocolate Cake Ingredients Cocoa Powder: This is what will give our cake its delicious chocolate flavor. It is the cocoa bean that has had all its fat removed and then is ground into a powder. You want to look for unsweetened cocoa powder. Do not get Dutch-process cocoa. It has been alkalized, which reduces the acidity and prevents it from activating the baking soda and making the cake rise. Boiling Water: An essential ingredient in this cake, it is what helps bring out the chocolate flavor in the cocoa powder....

Hi guys! I published this recipe for Chocolate Honey Chiffon Pie back in 2012, and it’s STILL a huge favorite of mine. I just made it twice in the last month. I wanted to update the photos, but this old story is classic Karen-at-her-stupidest so I don’t have the heart to rewrite the post. Get ready to feel really smart: I went to Ikea today. Land of genius ideas, cheap merchandise, and a maze-like layout....
