I was so excited to check my mailbox the other day and find the brand-new cookbook from our friends over at Oh, Sweet Basil. It’s such a beautiful book, full of twists on familiar favorites! I couldn’t wait to try these Lemon Greek Potatoes. I made a couple of minor modifications–I cut back on the salt and added some black pepper. And I was a little nervous about the extra water in the recipe, but the potatoes were crispy and delicious, so don’t be scared!...

So it’s still August, but my kids just wrapped up their third week of school. We’re kind of back in the swing of things, it’s sometimes a tiny bit chilly in the morning, and the fall candles are at Bath & Body Works (you know, the barometer of seasonal change). So even though we’re still hitting the high 90s just about every day, I’m itching for some fall baking. In July, we did Utah scones and now we’re doing what everyone (well, not everyone, as we discovered in that post) else calls scones....

My daughter M was allergic to milk, which we found out when she turned one. At age 4, she had outgrown it. But for three years, we had to find substitutions and learn to avoid anything with cow’s milk in it. And cow’s milk is in a LOT of food - anything with regular milk of course, but also anything with yogurt, cow’s cheese, butter. Not an easy one to avoid....

4.97 34 Published Mar 22, 2023, Updated Sep 23, 2024 This recipe is a little more indulgent than baked oatmeal (especially with the cream cheese frosting!), but healthier than your typical carrot cake, which is exactly what I was going for. I’d say mission accomplished! This cake is awesome for an everyday healthier dessert option, but it would also be perfect for Easter or Mother’s Day brunch! And want to know the best thing about this recipe?...

When I visited the US a few years ago and the first thing that I tried when I visited Panera’s was this steaming hot bowl of Broccoli Cheddar Soup with a crisp crusty bread was a total comfort in a bowl! But it was my last day of the trip, so a shame that I could taste it only one more time in the second meal of that day. So with recipes available on the Internet and my trials to get the right consistency and flavour I came up with a broccoli soup that I can call Copycat Panera Broccoli Cheddar Soup....

5 4 Published Jul 22, 2024, Updated Nov 07, 2024 I love how fresh and light it is and that it’s jam-packed with A TON of fresh veggies, which we always have an abundance of thanks to my father-in-law’s garden. It’s delicious on its own, but we usually top it with grilled chicken, grilled shrimp or these air fryer chicken cutlets for some added protein.

The Ingredient Line-up: A box of frozen puff pastry (found in the freezer section, usually near the pies and desserts), a bundle of fresh asparagus, some soft spreadable cheese ( I use Laughing Cow), and prosciutto. Let your puff pastry thaw out to room temp and unroll it. Use a rolling pin to lightly roll it out and then spread the cheese on top. You can totally skip the cheese if you want, but I love the flavor and creaminess it adds....

5 33 Published Sep 01, 2017, Updated Jan 07, 2024 I honestly find this hard to believe because we’re huge PB&J fans over here at EBF. I ate a PB&J sandwich almost every single day for lunch throughout elementary, middle and high school. Isaac’s childhood was similar and to this day he still makes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch or a snack. You know, just your causal sandwich snack....

The only dumpling dough recipe you’ll need to make perfect dumplings or potstickers! This post was first written in 2014, so an update with new photos and information is long overdue. I really enjoy making dumplings for my family. However, I was still bit of a novice at it 7 years ago. The technique I used to make dumplings at the time served me very well. But over the years, my dumpling making skills have improved greatly!...

Pickling vegetables has never been so easy! These vibrant and tangy Pickled Red Onions are the pop of flavor your savory meals have been begging for. Made with just 6 ingredients and ready to eat in only 30 minutes, they’re bound to become your new favorite condiment. All you need is a red onion, vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. A touch of red pepper flakes will give the sliced onions a touch of heat and complexity that shouldn’t be missed....

Potty training is a rite of passage, an important milestone in every kids development and also two words that strike fear into parents everywhere. Especially for those of us who have been there, survived, and then must face it all over again with a second child. Or third or fourth. Of course, every child will eventually use the potty. Kids don’t go to high school in diapers. But still, the struggle is real, y’all....

I hope you had a lovely weekend! We played outside all day Saturday - biking/walking on the greenway and planting in the garden (yay for Earth Day), which was fortunate because Sunday was a cold and chilly mess of a day. We all ended up curling up on the couch together in the afternoon to watch a movie. It was lovely. Today though, I’ve got Cinco de Mayo on my mind....

Building a foundation of healthy eating habits for kids is no joke. I’m a health and nutrition editor, so all day long I read about the latest research, the best strategies, the experts’ opinions and so I just knew I had this down when I had kids of my own. And then, hello, real world! It’s a bit different in practice, with willful children who will do anything but inhale the delicious vegetables you have lovingly prepared....

We’ve just had a fantastic family weekend at the beach for Easter. The cousins had a blast playing together, we squeezed in some beach and boat time before the weather turned south and just being together was so special. But let’s talk food. Previously, I’ve shared tuna Niçoise salad, which of course is very good eats. And I love having tasty ways to use canned tuna. But you guys, to be honest, I love this version even more....

0 0 Published Aug 06, 2024, Updated Nov 09, 2024 If you haven’t tried kohlrabi before, it’s a unique and delicious vegetable that has a similar texture to a broccoli stem and a flavor that’s a cross between a turnip and a mild radish. When roasted, kohlrabi becomes tender on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside, making it the perfect side dish to serve alongside your favorite protein....

So I have kind of a funny story about how this recipe came to be. I was sadly standing in front of my pantry, realizing I’d missed Girl Scout season and not wanting to make dinner (which will make an appearance on the blog in the future). And I decided it would be fun to ease my pain with ingredients from my pantry. It just kind of happened. Magically. It all came together and it was amazing, like an over-the-top decadent version of my favorite cookie....

4.46 47 Published Jan 15, 2024, Updated Oct 29, 2024 It’s flavorful and filling thanks to all the herbs, hearty vegetables and protein-rich beans. Many minestrone soups are made with pasta, but not this one! I skipped the noodles for more beans, which I prefer because they add a lot more protein and fiber to this soup. Why You’ll Love This Soup Effortless – The slow cooker does all the work for you....

Today, I’m excited to be sharing a revamp of these slow cooker stuffed bell peppers. It’s one of the very early recipes I published here on Family Food on the Table. I’m talking way back, a month into me learning how to publish recipes online. Back before I had told anyone that I even had the site. The photos were atrocious. (I kept one at the very bottom of this post, under the recipe card, so you can laugh at me....
