If you’re looking for more creamy vegan sauces, you’ll also love my Vegan Sour Cream, Vegan Cheese Sauce, Vegan Caesar Dressing, and Vegan Tartar Sauce. This Vegan Ranch Dressing is undoubtedly the best! It’s super creamy, totally ‘dill-icious’, and just as addictive as the real thing. You’ll want to use it on everything! Can you believe that the secret behind this realistic vegan dressing is soaked and blended cashews? When you blend cashews with a little water, they transform into a thick and creamy cashew cream, which almost has the same richness as real dairy....

I mentioned in my last post that Easter completely sneaked up on me this year. I grabbed a big spiral cut ham at Costco on Friday because a) I love hams, especially on Easter, and b) We always end up sharing a meal with someone, even if it’s last minute so I wanted to have something to feed a crowd. Well as it turns out, it ended up being just my husband and me, and our three little kids....

With curiosity combined with creativity their imagination knows no bounds. They saw orange sticks lying in certain pattern, they imagined a doll, they saw a clothespin some where they thought of an airplane.

Eggs are kinda my fave. I have at least 2 cartons of eggs in my fridge at all times. They may not both be full, but I get a little twitchy if I don’t at least have a dozen eggs on hand. And I don’t even make eggs daily! I start work at 6:30 a.m. so I don’t have time to make the kids scrambled eggs during the week. And while I know they don’t take long, nor does a fried egg, it’s just a bit too much effort for me when we’ve got school and work and all the things happening....

4.5 16 Published May 22, 2019, Updated Jul 03, 2024 The first time I ever heard about icebox cakes was from Maria a few years ago. She was raving about Ina Garden’s Mocha Icebox Cake (made with Tate’s cookies) and mentioned that she makes it for her sister’s birthday each year. I’ve never been a huge regular cake person and have always enjoyed ice cream cakes and cookie cakes more, so the idea of an icebox cake, which is kind of a hybrid of both, immediately piqued my interest....

Start with a slice of your favorite bread. I’m a huge fan of Dave’s Killer Bread. I differentiate them by colors, and I always buy the green bag. Pop that in the toaster and while it’s toasting, mash up a little avocado (make sure it’s ripe!) You’re only using a little avocado, so I usually keep it in the fridge, and even though it will brown a little, I still use it the next day and just scrape off the top....

How to make a giant Snickerdoodle Start by softening/melting your butter in a heat-safe mixing bowl. It doesn’t need to be ALL the way melted. I’ve found the best stage is when about half the butter is liquid, but the rest is super soft. Like the texture of pudding. You want it to easily stir completely smooth when you touch it. For the snickerdoodle, we just use white sugar, and one egg yolk....

In a last-ditch attempt, I checked my cooking bible, Cook’s Illustrated Cookbook, to see if they had a carnitas recipe. And they did, but honestly, after all my unfortunate carnitas experiences, I was nervous. See, the ingredients they used really weren’t all that different than the other recipes I’d tried. As I picked a piece of flavorful, crispy meat off the pan, I felt all sorts of guilt for my crisis of faith–they had not failed me....

School’s out for summer! We wrapped up our school years this past week (M finished kindergarten and J finished his 3-year-old preschool year) and are looking ahead to what seems like an endless summer stretching out before us. Long days, tons of sunshine, afternoons by the pool or riding bikes in the neighborhood, evenings on the porch, lazy weekend mornings in PJs… yes, please! And speaking of weekend mornings in PJs… Today I’m brining you these cheesy grits breakfast bowls with crumbled sausage, fluffy scrambled eggs and sautéed spinach....

I’m taking my 10-year-old daughter to her first ever concert tonight with a friend and her mom, and I can’t wait for her to experience live music!

(And thankfully, she doesn’t have school in the morning.) Anyway, let’s move on to the food!...

4.61 193 Published May 18, 2020, Updated Aug 25, 2023 When it comes to baked goods I’m all about the crunch factor. I like a little crunch to my cookies and I absolutely LOVE it when muffins have crunchy muffin top edges. It’s the best. These cookies have the best of both worlds – a bit crunchy around the edges and chewy in the center. Perfection. They’re made with all wholesome ingredients (maple syrup, unsweetened coconut, dark chocolate) and they’re a great option for folks with special dietary needs because they’re gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free and vegan....
