This cornbread stuffing is an easy spin on my Classic Homemade Stuffing, and it is ridiculously amazing. I’m not at all joking when I tell you that this Thanksgiving, I’m making both. Making Buttermilk Since buttermilk isn’t an ingredient that most people keep on hand, I like to share a substitute. You can make a buttermilk alternative by combining milk and vinegar, two ingredients people do commonly keep in their kitchens....

This old-fashioned classic will really take you back to simple times and fun days. Since the 1930s, moms everywhere have been making desserts like this one, Watergate Salad, and No Bake Jell-O pies. These no-bake desserts are super simple to make using common ingredients, including a box of Jell-O (or Jell-O pudding mix). Orange Jello Salad is creamy, tangy, and sweet, packed with juicy mandarin oranges, fluffy marshmallows, and flakes of coconut....
Delicious spices pack so much flavor into the rice and what I love is, since the vegetables are in the rice, this is the only side dish you need. Basmati rice is always served with Indian food. It has a nutty, delicious flavor that you just don’t get from plain white rice. Why do you add the dry rice to pan of vegetables? This gives the rice a chance to toast and add a lovely, nutty flavor....
Want another great whiskey drink? Make my classic Whiskey Sour! Desert Wasteland Whiskey Cocktail isn’t really a name that just rolls off your tongue, is it? So obviously this drink has a small story behind it. Okay, story is a stretch, lol. A few years ago, my childhood best friend, my sister from another mister, the one who knows where all the bodies are buried, moved to the Southwest. This is her second MAJOR move, and now she has been living there for like 18 years, okay not really 18 years, but going on two years (three years?...
How to Make an Easter Egg Wreath And here it is hanging up. Since seeing this idea way back in like January, I have wanted to use it to make an Easter egg wreath. There are tons of people out there trying their hand at this, but my absolute favorite is found here. More recently, Alissa, at Crafty Endeavor did this post about making an Easter Egg Garland. Alissa is smart, and she made this project about a million times easier for me....
You don’t need to be a baking whiz (because I am not) to make an impressive dessert. The hardest part is rolling out the pastry and slicing the fruit. For my fruit tarts, I like to use my shortcrust pastry recipe. For a fruity summer dessert, as in this case, I like the light, airiness of puff pastry. The key to keeping the puff pastry crispy, is blind baking which basically means partially baking the pastry without toppings....
About my rogan josh inspired chickpea and cauliflower curry recipe Not your ordinary curry, my cauliflower chickpea curry is infused with the rich flavours of rogan josh. I’ve simplified this recipe like most of my curries without compromising on taste. Serve with naan, pilau rice, and a kachumber salad for an easy dinner. My family adores this slightly spicy dish, and its versatility allows you to adjust the heat to your liking....

This easy Tomato Tart recipe is the only one you’ll need to show off the beauty of fresh summer tomatoes. And while you could use fresh tomatoes to make homemade Bruschetta or Easy Tomato Soup, I think that this recipe is the most attractive way to use them. Just look at the colors here!

My husband is Italian and so we have a great love for Italy and have been fortunate to have been to many cities there many times. Lake Como and Florence are our favorite and so are Florentine cookies that originated there in the Renaissance period. What are Florentine Cookies? Sometimes called lace cookies, Florentine cookies are made of finely chopped almonds with a hint of orange and vanilla, then baked into lace cookies....
Can you freeze avocado? In One word YES. As someone who loves to buy avocados all around the year, I know firsthand how frustrating it can be when they go bad before I have a chance to use them. That’s why I’ve found that freezing avocados in whole, halves, slices or puree are a great way to preserve their freshness and avoid food wastage. Whenever avocados are on sale or at a good price, I like to pick up a lot and freeze them for later use....

Dry vs. Fresh Herbs Some recipes call for making this with fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, and fresh basil. I always recommend skipping fresh herbs when you are putting a recipe in the oven under high heat. The dry herbs hold up so much better, and they are much more economical. It doesn’t get much easier than this goat cheese appetizer. It is about 10 minutes of hands on time and then you are left with this absolutely delicious spread....
This Carmelitas recipe combines three of my favorite things – Cookies, Chocolate, and Caramel – into one dangerously delicious dessert! A super simple oatmeal cookie dough creates the top and bottom layers of these bars, while melted chocolate chips and a silky, gooey caramel sauce fill in the center. Every bite is the perfect bite when you make these decadent caramel dessert bars! You should also check out my Magic 7 Layer Bars recipe featuring nuts, butterscotch chips, and coconut....

A lot of people were curious to know about the recipe for Lentil Waffles and the accompaniments....
Not all spare ribs are created equal. Do you know where your ribs came from? Do you know about the farm they came from and the living conditions of the animal? What about what the animal was fed? These are all questions you need to ask when buying ribs. 4th of July is fast approaching and it does also happen to be National Barbecue Spareribs day so I would be doing you a dis-service by not sharing my grilled ribs recipe....
