Vegan MANGO LASSI SMOOTHIE RECIPE We are huge fans of mangoes in our house. Every year, when fresh mangoes are in season, I love to treat my family to a variety of mango delicacies. Be it Alphonso, Kesar, or Ready to eat ones from Tesco! This thick, creamy and sweet mango drink is just like a smoothie and great for breakfast too! Breakfast has never been so easy! Sometimes I fail to understand the difference between smoothie and lassi....
I had a great time testing and perfecting this recipe for homemade Sticky Buns! I tasted a lot of them personally, and also shared some with my family. We were spoiled with tasty pecan rolls for days! You may not want to eat Sticky Buns for breakfast every day, but these nutty, buttery, caramel pecan rolls are wonderful as a treat, or as a special breakfast or brunch on Christmas or a birthday....
Perfect for those warmer days and evenings when you don’t feel much like cooking. There’s only minimal cooking involved in this salad so don’t worry about turning on the oven and heating up the kitchen. Plus, you can make everything ahead so you cook once and eat for days. You could call this a light, farm-to-table meal, full of nutrients with added protein from the perfect soft boiled egg. I used a 6 minute soft boiled egg, but a poached egg can also be used....
Elegant enough to serve for dinner parties and perfectly fitting for the holiday season or summer treat. Not a fan of pears or they are not in season? Use sweet apples and prepare the same way. All the same flavors work well together. The addition of sweet honey and the nuttiness of toasted pecans along with the piney flavor of fresh rosemary, round out the flavors of this dish that all complement each other perfectly....
Baked potatoes on the grill is one of the things that I look forward to every summer weekend! It became a tradition to throw a few baked potatoes on the hot grill whenever we’re grilling out. I remember ever since I was very little, my parents used to wrap potatoes in foil and threw them on the grill along with other things like burgers, kabobs, sausages, and vegetables. It was always my favorite part when it came to grilling days to enjoy a warm bbq baked potato with lots of toppings, I LOVE potatoes and I’d eat them every single day if I can!...
Pan Searing Pork Chops The pork chops are first pan-seared, which creates a nice brown crust on the outside and deepens the flavor. They finish cooking in the sauce with the other ingredients, which keeps them tender and juicy. To ensure they are fully cooked, I recommend using an instant read thermometer. See more on this and my recommendation below. We start this fantastic skillet dinner with an easy rub that helps to season the meat....
I prefer to make my own stock. I’ve previously made chicken stock and vegetable stock and they both have so much more flavor and a lot less sodium than store bought. Any stock that is made with bones, is good for you. Using bone broth in recipes is all the rage right now because of the collagen that is extracted from the bones when cooking. When I was getting ready to buy the ingredients, I was wondering where I was going to find beef bones....
How to Make Peach Purée To make a true Bellini, you will want to use thick rich peach purée rather than peach juice. Peach purée is blended up peaches.

The peach Bellini drink is a classic recipe....
Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram Maybe we should just start calling it a blob. That’s what you’ll turn into eventually, I suppose, if you eat this chocolate cheesecake too many days in a row! I mean just kidding, chocolate cheesecake is totally a healthy choice that you should make today. Nothing brings family together quite like the food we make for each other, does it? I wanted to create a chocolate cheesecake version....
Smoking a roast at home might seem intimidating, but it’s very simple and the flavor is out of this world! This recipe is for smoked tri tip which is a tender cut of beef that cooks up pretty quickly and won’t break the bank while you’re at it! What is Tri Tip? Tri tip is a triangular-shaped roast that is part of the sirloin and comes from near the bottom by the hip....
You’ll be amazed at how this impossible quiche bakes up into two distinct layers, and you’ll never need to roll out any pie crust dough. At some point, the Bisquick Impossible Quiche recipe must have been published on the back of a Bisquick box, because this is one of those “vintage” recipes that everybody’s mom and grandma knows how to make! This isn’t the same as a classic quiche pastry, but it’s just as delicious, with a magic crust layer on the bottom and a rich egg custard on top....
My sister Laura told me yesterday that they always tell their kids that Labor Day weekend is to celebrate work, so they have to do lots of it. (Then she followed up with “Our kids will probably need therapy someday.”) I’m just bummed I didn’t think of this idea sooner, because it’s GENIUS. I’ll even pay for the therapy. Eric spent the day doing yard work (and didn’t cut any power cords!...
Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram I know, I know, I’m the worst. Eric’s cousin (Hi Maddie :) is getting married on an island sort of near Brisbane (Fraser Island, has anyone been? Where are all my Aussie readers? Do people even say Aussie?? HELP ME!). I think part of it is being a mom. NOT that I will miss my kids, sorry children. It’s just that being a mom you are ALWAYS “on....
These are good, reeeeally good. But try eating them after a sugar fast. No, of course this story isn’t about me, I haven’t lost my mind. My cousin Lani came over the day after I made these. This girl only eats 40 grams of carbs a day. 40. Do you know how much that isn’t? One banana has 27 grams. Twenty-seven. You are a rock star, Lani. A 13-pounds-lighter rock star....
