Who would have though pressure cooking pasta will be so easy and delicious! Have you tried it yet? Oh you are absolutely missing out if you haven’t!!

It’s a Super Easy Instant Pot spin on the classic Italian Tuscan chicken that’s served with pasta. I know pressure cooking pasta sounds funny at first but hear me out!...

This is a modified pound cake recipe. This is a newer, slightly lighter version of that recipe. It has that gorgeous crumb that you get only when you use butter. This cranberry cake is best served at room temperature. The lemon and lemon zest add a tangy taste that cuts the richness of the pound cake very well! It’s a cake that’s meant to be enjoyed with friends and family!...

We had a bit of a hair clipping fiasco at our house last week. The annoying thing about kid’s hair is that it never stops growing, so you always have to do something about it. Come on, didn’t I just cut your hair last month? And now I have to do it again?? (Kind of like how dinner never lets up. No matter what you do, somebody still wants dinner 24 hours after you made the last one....

Serving Size You will note that this lists 14 servings. That is each person having 5 little weiners. If you are bringing this to a large party with more than 14 people where everyone is bringing something, I think you will still be safe keeping the recipe as is. There tends to be so much food at parties, that likely you will have enough. This Crockpot Little Smokies recipe comes together with just a few ingredients – most of which I think you will find in your refrigerator and pantry....

Easy Homemade Matar Paneer recipe I love making this easy homemade Matar Paneer recipe, it’s one of my favourite homestyle curries to make. I’ve been making it for years and my family can’t get enough of it. It’s a classic dish that every household in North India has their own unique way of making, but this homestyle version is by far the best. The recipe features a versatile onion tomato gravy that adds great flavour to the dish....

You’ll love how the creamy, spicy, cheesy flavors of elote come together in this Mexican Street Corn Salad featuring charred corn, fresh veggies, and a flavorful tangy dressing. Mexican Street Corn is a delicious snack that can be purchased from vendors in Mexico. You’ll be handed a whole corn cob that has been expertly grilled, slathered with a creamy sauce, and covered with a flavorful treatment of cotija cheese and chili powder....

In typical Italian fashion, different regions of Italy have their own take on this popular soup. Minestrone simply translates to ‘big soup’. Seasonal vegetables are always used with a few variances, again, depending on what region of Italy you might be in. Rice in Minestrone My Autumn Minestrone Soup recipe (picture below) is more of the Roman-style using lots of vegetables, beef stock and pasta. This Milanese version uses herbs, cabbage, pancetta, chicken stock and rice that is lighter in color....

One of my favorite things in life is the combination of chocolate and mint, whether it’s a cake, a brownie, or an ice cream, I’ll take it! If you love it too, check out my Mint Chocolate Lasagna recipe, and this delicious Mint Chocolate Puppy Chow. This easy ice cream recipe is not only flavored with mint and chocolatey Oreo cookies, but it’s also super creamy thanks to the combination of fresh whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk....

Happy Monday, friends! As I mentioned yesterday when I posted my DIY Bird Feeders (ps have you watched the cute video of Piper yet? It seriously melts my heart. It’s at the bottom of that post if you haven’t seen it yet), we had a BUSY weekend! One highlight for sure was Trick or Treating. But you guys, my kids got WAY too much candy. On the fly I came up with a great system for getting rid of it that I’m sure will make every seasoned mom roll her eyes when she hears it....

Have you tried grilling or baking fruit? Pears are my favorite and another way I like to serve them is Baked Pears with Goat Cheese, Honey & Pecans. You can pretty much cook any firm fruit from Grilled Pineapple Coconut Kale Salad to Grilled Lemon & Basil Vinaigrette. If you don’t have a grill you can bake the pear slices in the oven. They are brushed with the salad dressing before cooking so they take on a delicious flavor and natural sweetness....

I’m determined not to use my oven this summer, which means I’m getting cozy with my air fryer! If you’ve never made Air Fryer Steaks, you’re in for a treat. You can get that same juicy steak with a crunchy exterior without a grill and just a little oil, salt, and pepper. If you love easy air fryer recipes, you have to try my crispy air fryer chicken breast, fish filets in the air fryer, air fryer buffalo chicken wings, and these easy air fryer jalapeño poppers....

This is my take on the classic winter Pimm’s Cup cocktail (as opposed to the summer version, more on that below). It doesn’t feature the familiar Pimm’s liqueur we all know; instead, it’s crafted with the lesser-known Pimm’s No. 3 Brandy Slinger. While Pimm’s No.1 cup is gin-based (ideal for summer), No.3 takes on a brandy base, offering a richer profile suited for the cold winter months. As Pimm’s No....

Pancakes for breakfast is always a great idea! I would have pancakes every morning if I could for the rest of my life, especially when the pancakes are so special just like these apple pancakes. They’re so quick and easy to make, and absolutely delicious! You should also try my vegan coconut pancakes with caramelized bananas, and classic chocolate chip pancakes! POLISH APPLE PANCAKES This is my Mum’s recipe, it reminds me of my childhood and we still make it quite often....

Why is Meatloaf one of the most popular comfort foods? I don’t really have that answer, it just is and it is certainly on the top of my comfort list. When it comes to making meatloaf, I love the fact that everything goes into 1 bowl and you get in there with your hands all at once. Then it’s just mix and roast. Easy-peasy! Autumn/Fall Meatloaf In keeping with the flavors of the season I use ground pork, apple and sage and the combination is beyond flavorful and oh so comforting....

Like a Good Mummy , I decided to make one straight away… and I knew I have a recipe that is already posted in my space before – Pound Cake. Made healthy substitutions to suit the available ingredients in my store....

Oops. We decided to freeze them all instead. Mine are almost gone, which is kind of ridiculous. There are just so many delicious things you can do with peaches. Smoothies, hello. I’ve been using the leftover juice (from thawing them) in pancakes. SO good. I also made this pulled pork. It’s pretty awesome. We ate it on buns with coleslaw, but you could also throw it in a tortilla, squirt on some lime juice and Mexicanify it....

Super simple, filling Vegan salad that’s gluten free, dairy free and nut free. In my mind, a salad recipe is a hit if it tastes better than all the other stuff on the table.This is one of those salads. This is a great way to switch up your quinoa and edamame game.It’s a flexi salad.You can add any other veggies you like.Peppers,carrots and steamed beans- all of this will work with it....

Rainbow cupcakes are perfect for St. Patrick’s Day, birthday parties, or any time you want to make a dessert that will make someone smile. These are vanilla funfetti-style cupcakes topped with fluffy blue buttercream and candy rainbows. What’s not to love? While you could tint the cupcake batter in rainbow colors so that the inside matches the outside, I like the simplicity of making plain vanilla cupcakes with added rainbow sprinkles instead....

If you have never had a red velvet cake, then this is a very special day. Let me introduce you to the magnificence that is red velvet. It is a cake that is deep chocolate in nature, but with the delicious tang of vinegar and buttermilk. The contrast of sweet and sour meld together perfectly to bring you a delightful and rich dessert. In this Red Velvet Bundt Cake we are using sour cream as our magic ingredient to make the cake delightfully moist....
