These Roasted Veggie Enchiladas are loaded with a medley of warm roasted vegetables and smothered in a smoky black bean sauce before being baked to perfection. They’re a fun take on the classic enchilada recipe, a perfect “clean out your fridge” meal, and a great way to use up those cans of black beans in your cupboard....

For more variations, check out this classic chocolate mousse and butterscotch mousse. There are lots of mousse recipes out there. In fact, I’ve shared a few already like this perfect chocolate mousse, butterscotch mousse, and this hazelnut praline chocolate mousse. But chocolate mousse truly has a special place in my heart. Chocolate is only my favorite ingredient after all, and one I use extensively in my baking for all types of delicious desserts....

(Yes, chocolate.) But also, the after school snack. It might seem silly, but with everything we have going on all the time, those few minutes to sit and re-group and actually talk to my kids became a relaxing little tradition for all of us. I love to surprise them with a special treat just to see their eyes light up after coming home from a busy day and I learned that the better the treat, the longer I get to keep them talking to me!...

We are quickly moving to the end of preschool and kindergarten before the holidays and I’m trying to get all my loose ends tied up since those cute kiddos will be home with me while I’m still working. Also, coming up is a super packed weekend and lots of family around, which is when I tend to fall back on slow cooker recipes that will be ready and waiting for us at dinnertime....

Welcome to a new week, my friends! We’ve got an extra busy one this week and I’m going to be happy about all the meal prepping I did over the weekend and all the easy dinners I have planned. Including this one. Today, I’m finally bringing you a slow cooker version of one of my most popular recipes! This slow cooker honey garlic chicken has the same amazing sauce as the original 15-minute honey garlic chicken, which gets rave reviews....

Can we put honey mustard on all.the.foods and call it a day? OK, good. I don’t have a ton of time for cooking some days. Slow cooker to the rescue! (And check out this 15-minute skillet honey mustard chicken if you need a super fast meal for some nights in addition to today’s crock pot version. Or try this Instant Pot honey mustard chicken.) I don’t know about you, though, but I think slow cooker meals can be disappointing sometimes....

Ingredients Needed Smoked sausage – I feel like sausage can be confusing. The type of sausage we’re talking about here is fully cooked smoked sausage that comes in a link. It’s the kind that is horse-shoe shaped and found packaged in the meat department. The kind that I use specifically is this private selection Smoked Sausage (which is a Kroger brand) and I get the Garlic variety. There are many leaner options, like a turkey kielbasa, which would work, but I do feel like the flavor won’t be quite the same since a lot of the amazing flavor, seasoning, and richness comes from simmering that sausage in the soup....

Here in the South, New Years Day calls for certain foods to be eaten to ensure a healthy and prosperous year ahead. In my family, you were supposed to eat 3 main foods: And the bonus food is cornbread. It’s golden color and the golden nuggets of corn are also supposed to ensure a year of financial success. I bucked this tradition when I was a child, taking the tiniest bite I could muster from a pile of black-eyed peas, a pile of collard greens and a slice of ham....

I’ll show you how to make the best jalapeno syrup. And pro tips on how to adjust the spice level while infusing the most flavor to make this spicy simple syrup. Why I love this recipe It’s very easy to make and a very forgiving recipe. You can easily adjust the amounts and vary the flavor to your liking. You will learn how to get the MOST flavor from the jalapenos (or other types of chili) that you’ll be using....

Perfect dish to use up seasonal mangoes that are slightly underripe. It’s that time of the year when juicy, ripe, sweet mangoes are hitting the shelves at our local market. We’ve been making a lot of mango popsicles and mango lassi and even frozen mango margaritas for those Friday evenings, but lately I’ve been feeling like a savory mango dish. If we are lucky, the mangoes go on sale while they are still in prime condition (and not overripe), but since Mr K and I are both really good at choosing the best mangoes, we can generally avoid the disappointing ones....

If you love cinnamon rolls, just wait until you try these strawberry rolls! They are big, fluffy and oh-so-tender with fresh strawberries in every bite. When drizzled with cream cheese icing, they are so heavenly! Feel free to add a little lemon zest/lemon juice for strawberry lemon flavored rolls, or make all sorts of varieties with different berries or even peaches. Get creative depending on which fruit is in season!...

4.5 18 Published Mar 21, 2022, Updated Sep 27, 2023 This strawberry spinach salad takes advantage of the spring’s bounty with a variety of seasonal ingredients including strawberries, roasted asparagus, grilled chicken, crunchy cucumber slices, creamy avocado, red onion, toasted almond slices and a sweet and tangy homemade citrus poppyseed dressing. Why You’ll Love This Recipe This salad is the perfect meal prep recipe – just layer all of the ingredients into a mason jar for a healthy, portable lunch!...

I borrowed this recipe from Deb at Smitten Kitchen, who modified it from Emeril. You know. Lagasse. And I have to share some funny (like “huh” funny, not “haha” funny…although you may think it’s “haha” funny, and if you do, I might think you have a weird sense of humor). I think a lot about food and culture and everything that comes with all of that. I grew up in a very Mormon community and now I live in this conglomeration of The Bible Belt/Cajun Country/Good Old-Fashioned South and I have discovered that when it comes to comfort food, the things we tend to turn to are surprisingly similar....

2-2 1/2 lb. raw, shelled, de-veined shrimp; raw shrimp are blue or grey, not pink. Get Tiger Shrimp if you can find them. Oh, and that “vein”? It’s not actually a vein. It’s poop. Don’t let the Euphamism Police trick you. 1 Tbsp. minced or pressed garlic 1/4 c. minced fresh ginger 1/4 c. hot chili garlic paste 1/2 c. sweet chili garlic paste 1 c. honey 1 c. fresh-squeezed lime juice 1/2 tsp....

Sweet potatoes are one of my faves. I love potatoes of all kinds, really, but something about sweet potatoes just feels extra cozy and yummy. Normally, I just roast them in the oven and serve them as a side dish. Or maybe make some Air Fryer sweet potato fries. We also get trendy with it sometimes and make sweet potato toast or sweet potato nachos. Add your favorite toppings and dig in!...

3.98 94 Published Jun 12, 2020, Updated Nov 11, 2024 While I certainly enjoyed all of those salads as a kid, it never hurts to upgrade a bit. So that’s what I’ve done here. This sweet potato salad is a remake of traditional potato salad, but this version is packed with veggies (spinach, red onion and avocado), has some dried cranberries for some sweetness and there’s no real dressing — just lemon juice and apple cider vinegar, which makes for a sweet and zesty salad....

4.73 156 Published Aug 27, 2024, Updated Nov 05, 2024 This recipe has been a go-to of mine for years! I love making it as a simple weeknight dessert during the fall months, but it’s also my favorite dessert to serve up at Thanksgiving dinner along with my delicious pecan pie. The apples in this crisp are baked to caramel-y perfection while the oatmeal topping gives the crisp a crunchy texture....

20 Published Feb 04, 2017, Updated May 28, 2024 So it’s no surprise that as an adult I still love to eat. I’m okay with it because “People who love to eat are always the best people.” 🙂 Luckily over the years I’ve found ways to satisfy my love for food and desire to eat large quantities while still remaining my health. My secret? Loading up on nutrient dense foods like veggies and fruit!...

Ingredient Notes Chicken – This recipe calls for raw boneless, skinless chicken breasts. If you want to speed dinner up or use up leftovers, rotisserie or previously cooked chicken works great, simply add it to the pot during the last 5-10 minutes of simmering to heat up. Great Northern Beans – Any white bean will do! Look for great northern, large white, or canellini. Chicken Broth – This makes up the main body of the soup so make sure to use one you love....

4.64 44 Published Jul 09, 2018, Updated Feb 27, 2022 Tomatillos 101 In case you’re new to tomatillos like me, I thought I would share a little more info about them. “Tomatillo” means “little tomato” in Spanish but don’t let the translation fool you – that’s not what it is. Compared to tomatoes, tomatillos taste more like a vegetable, are more acidic and less sweet and are more dense, less watery....
