A few days ago I came across a jar of dried mung beans sitting forgotten in my pantry. I always make sure that my pantry is stocked with a variety of dried beans and lentils at any given time. They’re an easy, vegetarian/vegan source of protein and are chock full of wonderful nutrients. Really, you can never go wrong with them! They work well as a main course, a side and even in salads....

Score one for me with these awesome Nacho Chicken Tenders. They are a spin on traditional chicken strips that I think your kids will also love. The flavor for this awesome kid approved recipe comes from TOSTITOS® Salsa Verde Chips. Our family loves TOSTITOS® They are our go to chip, and we always have a bag on hand for taco night....
Shipping No Bake Cookies If you are sending this off as part of a holiday care package, these will ship just fine. Please note that when they are stacked, the cookies scrape each other. This creates slight blemishes to the cookies that you can see in some of the photos here. These amazing No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies are everything you like about the original recipe without the coconut. Just a quick swap of more oats for coconut does the trick, and you get amazing melt in your mouth chocolate cookies....
Unflavored coconut oil, also known as refined, has no coconut aroma or taste. Where it is certainly easier to use, you don’t need the kind of traditional tortilla press that you see when tortillas are made, just a simple rolling pin can achieve the same result. These No Lard Flour Tortillas were the perfect vehicle for the One Pan Oven Fajitas I made last week. Also perfect for Sonoran Shredded Beef Tacos and Slow Cooker Barbacoa Tacos....
This Nutella Bircher Muesli Yogurt Parfait in my opinion is just as good as magic!! Healthy, balanced and yummy! Just too delicious and works perfectly for breakfast. It’s that time of the year again when everyone is getting into festive spirits and the weather has gone brrr… cold so it’s time to wear wooly hats, boots, and gloves. It’s that time of the year to spruce up your home with decorations for this festive season....
This 15 minute Pasta recipe is amazhing! I should probably call it ANY pasta in ANYTHING butter sauce instead of Pasta in Mushroom Butter Garlic Sauce .Really. You can substitute the mushroom for anything- broccoli,cherry tomatoes, zuchinni, corn, peas, ham, bacon, chicken, chorizo, left over kebab..okay that is probably a stretch but it might just work! I ALWAYS have dried pasta and butter in the pantry which is really all you need to make this delicious pasta....
Truth be told, I could honestly eat this as a meal. I’m sure many of you will agree that there’s nothing wrong with creamy, cheesy potato comfort food. Fall and winter is the perfect season for this dish. Celery root (or celeriac) is easy to find. You may have seen it in the produce area of your supermarket and wondered what that ugly thing is (pic below). Trust me, celery root is a delicious combination with the potato; it just adds a nice, mild celery flavor....
I have been making this pasta since I saw an episode of Masterchef where the contestant made a giant egg ravioli coated with burnt butter garlic sauce.It looked so so perfect.That was about 5 years ago and I have been smitten which this way of eating pasta ever since. If you are a moody person like I am and have too many of those days when indulgence is the only answer, then my friend this pasta in butter garlic sauce recipe....
I got into a Facebook argument a few weeks back with a friend who I totally respect and admire. Stop. I can see you shaking your head. I get it. Grown adults do not get in Facebook arguments with friends. I know! And it wasn’t even over politics. This friend was referencing an article where a wife went off (humorously) about how little her husband did over the holidays. (Can I get an AMEN?...
Raising Cane’s is a chain fast food restaurant based in Louisiana with over 570 locations across the United States and internationally. If you’ve been lucky enough to visit one of those locations, you may have had the experience of their delicious fresh, hand-breaded chicken fingers with coleslaw and their tangy creamy sauce. Cane’s sauce recipe is a secret, but we’ve used our taste buds to create a copycat Cane’s sauce that I think is pretty close to the real thing....

I’m so excited to be partnering with Rice Krispies® to bring you this fun Christmas treat! Thank you for supporting the brands that make Wine & Glue possible. For some reason this year, I was rooting for Christmas right out of the gates of Halloween. I’m not sure why! Like the calendar turned to November and I was full on Christmas music and wanting to throw wreaths on anything standing still....
Memorial Day and summer are officially upon us and these sliders are perfect for outdoor entertaining all season long. Serve with a light, chilled wine and you have a party. Fresh salmon makes delicious light burgers and that is what you need the weather is warm. In these sliders, along with all the usual, delicious suspects that work perfectly with salmon are capers, dill and Dijon mustard. These flavors are carried through from the sliders to the mayonnaise for a cohesive flavor burst....
So guys, I got a gym membership. I thought I would take the Spin class, because I recently learned that spinning is cycling and not spinning in a circle. (I’m totally kidding. I learned that at least 8 years ago.) I go in bright and early the first day and ask the lady at the front desk where the spin class is. She waves to the left and says it’s “over there....
What can I do with fresh spinach? Fresh spinach is not just for salads and don’t have to drowned it a creamy sauce (which is good, but not recommended every day. This is a dish you can enjoy every day comes together really quickly, the frying of the shallots is what takes the most time. Speaking of the crispy shallots, it is hard to not snack on them as they come out of the pan....
This newer version of cornbread is the answer to all of the traditionalists who don’t want sugar and need buttermilk. It also has equal amounts of flour and cornmeal, which is also more traditional. It is delicious too and makes the perfect component to recipes that have an element of sweetness to them, like my Crock Pot Ribs. Your skillet must be preheated for this recipe to work, which I share more on below....
Our family loves taco night so much. We build them right at the table together, and everyone is able to make theirs exactly how they want it. I’m sure you’ve caught on by now, but feeding my family delicious recipes that bring us around the table is happy place. While my Chicken Taco recipe is a family favorite, I’m always looking to mix things up. This carnitas recipe is perfect for that!...
Short ribs really have the most tender meat when slow cooked in the crockpot and being on the bone, adds a great depth of flavor. What makes this recipe Tuscan? First and foremost it’s simple food with real, good quality, local ingredients. They cook a lot with fresh herbs, like rosemary, and fresh vegetables like fennel, carrots and onions along with flavor enhancers like fresh garlic, and of course a good red wine from the region....
Today I went with my brother and his family to the beach. If you don’t live in California, probably when you think “beach + CA + July,” you think sunshine and stuff, right? But we live in Northern California. Going to the ocean here is like going to the Hoth of beaches. (What? You don’t understand obscure Star Wars references?) It was COLD, okay. And I showed up in shorts and a t-shirt....
Did you have a good holiday weekend? We WORKED. We pulled weeds, bushes, edged, and spread mulch. Whenever we spend weekend time doing stuff like that we feel like such grown ups afterwards, because let me tell you, I would have done almost anything to not do that but instead lay on the couch and watch reality TV like my 20 something year old self. Jerk past Lisa. She had it good....
