Let’s get started. You can use any fruit you like. I pick mostly based on color and then what’s in season or on sale. In this case, I’m going with strawberries, mango, and kiwi (click that link for my tip on how to cut a kiwi fruit!) You’ll want all of your fruit chopped in a small dice, and in similar sized pieces. You can definitely do the chopping in advance; just keep the fruit covered, and in the fridge....

Funfetti Vegan Cupcakes are so festive and the perfect way to celebrate a birthday. Who doesn’t love colorful, soft, fluffy cupcakes? I have made these several times for my kid’s birthday parties, and they are always a hit with the kids (and the adults)! But you don’t need a reason to make a batch of these cupcakes. A fun baking project always brightens up my days, and these are easy enough to make any day of the week!...

Ginger Crinkle Cookies Meet my new favorite holiday cookie – the ginger crinkle. Just like Chocolate Crinkle Cookies, they are coated in powdered sugar and form deep cracks as they bake. The difference between these and the more common chocolate version is that ginger crinkle cookies are full of ginger, cinnamon, molasses and brown sugar. They taste like a gingerbread cookie but better! Like most of my dessert recipes, they can be made in 1 bowl (but you do need two small bowls for rolling the cookie dough in)....

The first time I ever bought and made fish was this recipe. I was just out of college, starting to learn to cook regularly, and I have to say, I was a little intimidated. Cooking fish can do that to you. Especially when it’s expensive fish - you don’t want to screw it up! (And I was pretty new to cooking in general and not quite confident in the kitchen yet....

Ingredients Needed Flanken cut ribs – Hawaiian style ribs are what are called “Flanken Cut”. They’re cut lengthwise across the ribs instead of horizontally, like you’re probably used to seeing. You’ll sometimes see them called Korean style short ribs, or Maui ribs, too. They’re thin, like 1/4-1/2 inches thick. If you don’t see any flanken cut ribs, just ask the butcher at the meat counter and they should be able to help you out....

4.43 89 Published Apr 19, 2021, Updated May 18, 2024 Egg Muffins Are a Family Favorite Whether you’re rushing out the door or just need a simple breakfast idea, I highly recommend prepping a batch of these egg muffins for the week! It’s one less thing to think about before working out or sitting down at the computer to work. Isaac and I both L-O-V-E them and they’re totally kid-friendly as well....

It’s perfect for feeding a crowd and can easily be prepped in advance. Ingredients Needed eggs – can’t have a breakfast casserole without eggs! I used 10 full eggs for this recipe, but feel free to do half egg whites if you want to lighten this breakfast casserole up a little more....

I hope your week is off to a good start! We’re gonna get straight to the food today cause I’m so excited to be sharing this delicious casserole with you! Today we’re doing a twist on TACO NIGHT! My go-to is our basic turkey tacos (or a turkey taco salad version of them) but I love fish tacos, vegetarian tacos, exotic-flavored tacos. Basically never met a taco I didn’t like....

Potato salad is a summer picnic, potluck and BBQ staple. And for good reason. It’s cool on a hot day, it’s creamy and delicious, plus it’s loaded with potato goodness. I’m an admitted potato junkie. Love all the kinds of potatoes, served all the ways! ❤️ See my easy spicy roasted potatoes and paprika roasted potatoes for more potato love. And of course, my easy microwave baked potatoes are a weekly staple in our house....

Happy Valentine’s Day! Oh, how my thoughts about this holiday have changed over the years… As a kid, it was a fun holiday that meant heart-shaped candy, red balloons and lots of Valentine cards to share with friends. In high school, I remember we could buy carnation flowers for friends - and for crushes! - that were delivered during class. It was a fund-raiser of some sort but so fun!...

4.23 18 Published May 01, 2024, Updated Oct 27, 2024 I love how it tastes like real deal queso, but it’s packed with 22 grams of protein per serving. And it’s SO easy to whip up. Just blend and microwave… that’s it! You’ll have a delicious, creamy and cheesy dip in a matter of minutes. I love serving it with tortilla chips or fresh veggies for a mid-day snack or appetizer before dinner....

A little check-in Oh, hey, y’all. Anyone ready to yell “uncle” on 2020? I’m over it. Sara said a few weeks ago (legit don’t actually remember how long ago that actually was because #2020) that her covid experience felt like the lost months and my response was that this feels like the lost year. That isn’t to say that there haven’t been wonderful things…I actually look back at the quarantine days with quite a bit of fondness....

Instructions Do homemade pretzels store well? I think they’re best eaten fresh, but you can save them in an airtight container and then gently warm in the microwave when you’re ready to eat. Can you freeze homemade pretzels? Yes. Let them cool completely and then freeze in a single layer. After freezing, wrap well and store in an airtight container. Thaw at room temp, or place frozen pretzels in the oven at 350 until thawed and warmed....

Ingredients and Equipment Apple Cider Vinegar – you can substitute a variety of vinegars here for different flavors, but my favorite is definitely apple cider vinegar. It complements the honey for the perfect balance of tart and sweet. I recommend Bragg’s ACV for the best results. Honey – honey adds both flavor and sweetness. I’ve also used agave nectar when I’ve been out of honey and it also worked well. Garlic – for best results use fresh garlic as opposed to garlic powder....

Ingredients Needed Apple Cider – Make sure to purchase apple cider, and not apple juice. Fresh pressed cider is generally sold in the produce section during the fall months and it will look thick and murky as opposed to golden and clear. Apple Cider Vinegar – Use a high quality apple cider vinegar. I only use Bragg’s brand, especially in recipes like this and that’s what I recommend. Honey – Any standard honey is great....

I asked yesterday on Instagram in my stories if you wanted me to share some of the stock-up supplies I’ve gotten over the past week. The overwhelming response was yes please! So I hurried to get this out for you. I originally created this list of household and food supplies when I was pregnant with my first. I knew I’d want to hunker down with my brand new baby girl at home and not have to worry about running errands or sending my husband out....

5 0 Published Aug 13, 2023, Updated Oct 22, 2024 I know for me, I had a billion questions when we started solids – i.e: What foods should we start with? How often should baby be eating? Should it be before or after milk? What if they don’t eat much? Or worse, what if they choke? With my daughter, Olivia, I decided to do a more traditional approach to starting solids which involved starting with baby food purees and then transitioning to finger foods....

Ingredient Notes Chicken Thighs – You’ll want to use boneless skinless chicken thighs. Brown Sugar – Light or dark brown sugar will work here. Ketchup – Any ketchup will do. This adds both flavor and viscosity to the marinade. Soy Sauce – You can use regular or light soy sauce. I especially like the flavor of Aloha brand. If you’d like to make this gluten free, coconut aminos are a great substitution for soy sauce....

These are not your average vegan meatballs! While I love my Italian-style chickpea meatballs, these Impossible Meatballs are extra meaty and savory thanks to a mixture of Impossible ground beef, JUST Egg (or flaxseeds and water), breadcrumbs, and fresh parsley. They’re the best way to take spaghetti nights and crowd-pleasing appetizers over the top! 3 reasons why these are the best vegan meatballs Ultra meaty, just like real meatballs: The best part about making vegan meatballs with Impossible beef is that they end up feeling, looking, and tasting just like the real thing....
