I love bark recipes because they are so incredibly easy to put together and even easier to eat. Bark recipes are perfect for gifting around the holidays. This Five Minute Peanut Butter Chocolate Pretzel Bark is no exception! Peanut Butter Chips Peanut butter chips are easy to find in the baking aisle of most U.S. grocery stores. I love using it in my Peanut Butter Fudge as well. I have not made this recipe with just peanut butter, but if you do, keep in mind that it will not firm up in the bark the same way that the chips will....

Being British means I drink a lot of tea, but I always love a treat to go with it. There is a sense of comfort when you sip on a nice hot cup of tea, but it’s always nice to have a little treat with it. That leads me to tell you about how the fruity tea cake came about… Since my husband and I work from home, I have got him joining me for a cup of tea in the afternoons....

I like to use my Instant Pot to make side dishes, particularly when the main dish is using up a lot of my oven and stove space. Roast turkey, Roast Chicken, Meatloaf, and Pot Roast are some of the meals that I like to serve these potatoes with. Instant Pot Red Potatoes are a great warm weather recipe too, when you don’t want to heat up the kitchen too much with boiling water....

It doesn’t get any more German than this Weisswurst Eintopf (sausage one pot, in German). It’s like a Germany sausage and potato casserole made with traditional sausage, the sauce is so delicious because of the grainy mustard seeds and German (Bavarian) beer. Munich, which is in the state of Bavaria, is traditionally where Oktoberfest takes place. When is German Oktoberfest? Did you know that Oktoberfest is not the entire month of October?...

There is only one season I look forward to as much as Christmas and that is fall. What’s not to love? The cooler weather (I live in the Arizona desert, you understand) pumpkins, Halloween and all of the fall produce, in particular the apples. With Halloween, applesauce and pumpkins on my mind, all of these were factors that inspired me to come up with these cupcakes. Applesauce is a delicious and seasonal way to add moisture and natural sweetness to these cupcakes....

Traditionally oxtail is slow-cooked until the meat is tender, and it’s falling off the bone. This might take several hours, but in my version here (my husband’s recipe!), oxtail is pressure cooked in just 45 minutes until it’s properly cooked and tender and you still get the perfect flavor that you’re aiming for. In terms of texture, oxtail is similar to short ribs. It’s a delicacy and not a cheap cut of meat so you need a great recipe not to waste the ingredient....

One-pot meals are a great way of getting dinner on the table when you’re short on time. Sometimes all you want and need to do is put everything but the kitchen sink into one big pot and hope that it transforms into something delectable. One-pot meals are also a great way for me to clean up my fridge of leftovers. Often times, I’ve added any vegetable within arms reach into a thick hearty stew or curry....

I always wonder why people look at cooking Indian food with such disdain. According to so many non-Indians I’ve come across, they all have the same thing to say – it takes a lot of time and many more ingredients to cook a traditional Indian meal! Well, all I can say yet again is that you, my dear are mistaken! Now, if you are one of those who think that the traditional Indian meal comprises of exotic dishes such as, Briyani, Butter Chicken, Dal Makhani and Naans, then, well, I think you need to invite yourself to an Indian home for a simple dinner....

With just over 6 weeks to stick to my plan, things may not seem too easy, especially considering that I haven’t made that plan as yet! As I walked through the fresh produce aisle during our weekly grocery trip a few days ago – all the while dreaming of these Paneer Croissants, taking in all the wonderful shapes and colours of some not-so-crazy-about vegetables, I caught Hubby Dear wincing as I picked up a perky looking cauliflower....

Meat free pasta dishes are typically a first course in Italy followed by the meat course. This is the simple, and I mean the simplest, spaghetti al limone (as the Italians call it). This recipe is for 4 servings of a main dish size (American style). There are no overbearing flavors in this Lemon Pepper Spaghetti, just a well-balanced, clean, lemon and pepper taste in every bite. There is also no salt added to this recipe because there are 2 salty cheeses used....

Now, this is not a healthy dish by any means! But… we all know that everything tastes better with butter. Besides, you can’t really serve lemon ricotta with a tomato sauce. Well, you can but it just wouldn’t taste right. The ricotta filling is kept light tasting with lemon zest and fresh basil. There is no garlic is this dish as I wanted to keep the sauce balanced in flavor so it would not overpower the filing and the mint in the sauce....

I had never even heard of Pâté before marrying into Eric’s family. Small-minded, I refused to try it for years. I couldn’t get past the “liver” part. But eventually, after watching the older generation enjoy it with gusto at every holiday, I gave in, and was pleasantly surprised. It is rich and flavorful. Think of it like spreadable baloney. You don’t need a lot of it, a little goes a long way....

When I go to the movies, I often have a hard time deciding what to snack on because it all sounds so good! I want popcorn, AND Milk Duds, AND Peanut M&Ms!
