Get yourself some beautiful blackberries and get ready to make the best pie you’ve ever had! Blackberry Pie is not the most common fruit pie. Compared to Apple Pie, Blueberry Pie or Cherry Pie, it might not even be one you think of when you decide to get in the kitchen and bake. But a delicious, homemade Blackberry Pie can certainly hold its own with all of the other fruit pie heavyweights, and when you bring it out after dinner, everyone will want a slice!...
Is anyone else still in vacation-mode? Christmas break is officially over tomorrow and I don’t think I’m ready. If I keep this up, pretty soon my butt is going to permanently morph into the shape of the corner of the couch that I tend to favor when we sit around to play Mario Kart and watch movies all day. It’s hard work, sitting. And who am I kidding. I’m not even the one playing Mario Kart....
About this Easy Homemade Apple Butter recipe This year, we’re lucky that the Paradise Apple tree in our garden, is yielding an abundance of sweet and delightful apples. Typically, I make apple sauce and apple butter once a year using store-bought Bramley apples, Fujis, Granny Smiths, Honeycrisps, or Galas, and then store them in the freezer. However, for a change, I decided to make no-peel apple butter using our homegrown apples....

Okay, before we get started here, I should say that I love calling these Italian Mashed Potatoes, because the flavors of them are just like those you use in Italian cooking . . . but they aren’t like some sort of traditional Italian side dish. I am FOR SURE going to get an email from an enraged Italian person saying something like they don’t even eat mashed potatoes and how dare I....
So it turns out I’m kind of a jerk. The other day I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts (How to Be a Girl – grab a box of tissues), and Marlo was saying that she is going to be taking a break for a while after her next episode, the last one of the current season (which I just listened to and now I want everyone on both sides of the aisle to listen to)....
Lemon Extract vs Lemon Juice For this lemon frosting recipe, the source of the lemon flavor matters. By using lemon extract, the frosting gets a stronger lemon flavor and less acidity than lemon juice would provide. You can find lemon extract in the baking aisle of your grocery store. Lemon juice is just juice from a lemon, which has a place in many recipes, but is not concentrated enough to get the job done for this simple buttercream frosting....
My kids could eat macaroni and cheese for every meal and be very happy people. While it is tempting to reach for the box, homemade mac and cheese is very easy to make. It can be done in about the same amount of time and you can’t even compare the taste difference. Macaroni and cheese made from scratch has a creaminess that is out of this world, and with just a little bit of seasoning, the best flavor....
This is a wonderful traditional Middle Eastern stew that my Mom has cooked ever since I was a child. French beans aka green beans or string beans are cooked in a rich tomato sauce, along with meat that can be either beef or lamb. This dish is a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine in the levant countries including Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria. It can be made over the stovetop in a dutch oven, or in a slow cooker....
Chocolate for Mint Chocolate Truffles For this recipe, using high-quality dark or semi-sweet chocolate will result in even more delicious mint chocolate truffles. With that being said, chocolate chips will also work. This recipe has only been made with semi-sweet chocolate, which works well with the mint flavor of the mint extract. You could, however, also use milk chocolate or white chocolate if you prefer a sweeter chocolate flavor. If you’ve never made chocolate truffles at home, they are such an amazing and easy treat....
Last year, my husband and I moved to Cardiff. And near our house, there’s a family-run Indian supermarket and cafe/restaurant that we have been going to frequently. They serve the most delicious Indian curries, potato dosas, idlis, thali dishes, and desserts. And this mushroom bhaji quickly became a favourite after we first tried it! We asked the lady that cooks there about the recipe, and she quickly explained the ingredients to us and how to make it....
Namak Pare, like most homemade Indian treats, are very simple to make and hardly require much for ingredients. In fact, other than plain flour, salt and oil, the only crucial ingredient that you’ll probably need to head over to the store to buy is ajwain, also known as carom seeds. And honestly, since ajwain IS an important ingredient in this super simple recipe – so much so, that I’ll advise you to wait until you have it before deciding to make this – I really cannot share my Namak Pare recipe without first sharing THE story of Hubby Dear and ajwain....
It’s come to my attention that Piper was most certainly a Ninja or a Green Beret in a past life. It was a couple of months ago and Nathan and I were snuggling with Piper in bed while the other kids slept in (snort laugh, they never sleep in, I seriously have no idea what they were doing and why they weren’t harassing us to get out of bed). Any who, Nathan was talking to Piper when all the sudden she stuck her tiny knife like fingers up his nose and grabbed with a mighty death grip....
