I’ve started to realize that Air Fryer vegetables are a whole other realm of tasty when it comes to vegetables. And this coming from me, a huge veggie lover through and through. Previously I’ve shared Air Fryer Brussels sprouts and Air Fryer cauliflower, which are both super crispy and delectable. And also Air Fryer baked potatoes, which get a yummy, salty, crispy skin. Today, it’s Air Fryer broccoli and these toasty little bites are going to have you loving your broccoli!...

3.85 89 Published Dec 08, 2021, Updated Feb 20, 2024 Using Almond Butter to Replace Flour These cookies are quite different from any other holiday cookie recipe I’ve made and I’m obsessed. There’s no flour (not even coconut flour or almond flour), no oil or butter and no dairy. If you’ve never tried using almond butter as a substitute for flour, you have to try these cookies! It’s crazy how well almond butter works as a flour substitute in baked goods like with these flourless pumpkin muffins and flourless zucchini muffins....

Adds even more flavor to the tart and sweet syrup that will make the BEST drinks and cocktails (like rhubarb margarita!). I love making flavored syrups at home. They’re so versatile because you can flavor many different types of beverages from cocktails to mocktails, and sodas to other types of drinks. This syrup can also be made to flavor other types of dessert too. Since rhubarb season is so fleeting here in Canada, I like to maximize the use of them while I can....

And go ahead and buy the big ‘ol jug of apple cider, because on Monday Sara is going to show you how use the rest of it! And pop in this weekend for a little bonus post too!

4.39 62 Published Jun 04, 2021, Updated Aug 11, 2024 Not only is this balsamic salmon easy to make and healthy, but it’s super flavorful, especially considering there’s only six ingredients involved, all of which you probably have in your kitchen right now. It doesn’t get much better than that!! Ingredients Needed Here’s what you’ll need for this easy balsamic salmon recipe: salmon fillets – both wild salmon and farmed salmon have benefits!...

We also combine it with a tangy Blue Cheese Spread (which is simply this dressing without the milk). And if you’re not a fan of blue cheese, the spread is still awesome without it! But give it a shot- it really just adds a tang that goes great with the bbq sauce. While those mini burgers are on the grill we bathe them in an amazing bbq sauce (and you could totally take a short-cut and use a bottled sauce if you’d rather) While those little guys are cooking, start assembling....

For the sauce, we recommend using your favorite BBQ sauce–Cattleman’s is a great, inexpensive national brand, or you could try picking up some from your favorite local BBQ joint. Instructions: Rinse pork roast well in cold water and trim of excess fat. This is important because sometimes, boneless pork shoulder (and bone-in pork shoulder, for that matter) can take on kind of an icky fishy odor and a lot of that smell is in the juices and the fat....

Pop quiz: How do you feed beets to a baby? I had gotten to beets on my list of foods to introduce to M when she was a baby. I figured I could steam or roast and puree them, but that seemed to be a liquid mess. I was reluctant to give her cut up pieces of soft beet because they would stain her hands, her face, her tray, her clothes and everywhere else they ended up in the kitchen as she fumbled to get them to her hungry little mouth....

5 3 Published Nov 17, 2022 I’m not going to lie I didn’t know who Bella Hadid was before this salad (she’s a supermodel, in case you didn’t know!), but she sure does know how to put together a delicious salad! I love how light and refreshing this salad is and how easy it is to whip up. All you need are 8 main ingredients and there’s no fancy dressing involved… this one just calls for lemon juice, olive oil and balsamic glaze....

In the last two days, I’ve made three batches of vegan brownies. That’s right, three. A few weeks ago, I tried some other recipes I was playing around with. All in an attempt to create the most perfect vegan brownies recipe in the world. It has been such a struggle you guys! (And yes I have a freezer FULL of brownies) All of the recipes were edible (I mean, come on, it’s chocolate people!...

4.21 38 Published Aug 31, 2020, Updated Jun 12, 2023 These blueberry energy balls are similar to my cherry energy balls, but with dried blueberries instead of cherries. They are a littler sweeter than the cherry version, which I like… and they really do have a flavor reminiscent of blueberry muffins or cobbler. Types of Energy Balls As you may have guessed, there are so many different types of energy balls and they go by a variety of names too....

Today’s featured restaurant is Grit, in Eagle Idaho. I live in Eagle, so I love that this quaint suburb of Boise has been churning out some really great eateries. It’s fantastic to not have to make the trek downtown, OR to the crowded busy Eagle Road area closer to the freeway. Grit is the product of a great partnership between a chef from the popular 10 Barrel Brewing and the owner of another one of my most favorite places in Eagle, Porterhouse Market....

I’ve talked a lot about cooking after my husband and I got married, I think because it was such a pivotal point in my life, and I really learned to cook out of necessity, but also since cooking ended up (clearly) becoming such a huge part of my life. It’s funny, because in the (almost) 13 years that we’ve been married, my tastes have evolved and our budget has grown and now we have kids in the equation and hopefully I haven’t become a worse cook over time....

5 30 Published Oct 28, 2022, Updated Sep 26, 2024 I used my vegan mac and cheese recipe as a base, but put a fall spin on it by adding butternut squash in the sauce. And let me tell ya, the subtle sweetness from the squash and creaminess from the cashews seriously makes such a delicious cheese sauce. I can’t wait for you to try this one! Why You’ll Love This Recipe There’s no butter or cheese so it’s completely dairy-free....

Make your own creamy hot chocolate or red velvet hot chocolate at home and top it with regular or flavored homemade marshmallow for a treat that you won’t soon forget! What is it about Halloween that brings out the kid in all of us? Ok, most of us? Fine, some of us? I have no clue, because I didn’t even celebrate it growing up, because it just wasn’t a thing in New Zealand....

My experiment didn’t disappoint. I slow roasted bananas in brown sugar and cinnamon and then mixed it in a super easy {no cook!} base. The banana flavor is mild, but it’s the perfect amount of sweetness and the brown sugar and cinnamon round out the flavor palate. I know a lot of people have issues with cooked bananas- and if you’re one of those people, don’t fret. I puree the caramelized bananas into the ice cream, so all you get is the amazing flavor and extra creaminess!...

You know all those people who say that mashed cauliflower tastes exactly like mashed potatoes? I am here to tell you that those people have probably not had a mashed potato in awhile. Much like Sara isn’t going to to pretend that spaghetti squash is just like sitting down to a big ol’ bowl of homemade pasta in your favorite Italian restaurant, I’m not going to pretend like cauliflower rice is just like regular white rice....

I just had the most fun holiday weekend ever! Here’s the breakdown of the highlights… And although I’ve got a few more days of work this week and despite the fact that I’m ready to be completely off for the year, I’m gonna buckle down, chug along and try to wrap things up as quickly as possible. So let’s move right along to the food! Today’s recipe for these cheesy baked breakfast sliders are such a fun one!...

These Chewy Vegan Brownies remind me of those boxed brownie mixes I used to eat ALL THE TIME in college. Often me and my friends would make the brownie batter and just eat it straight from the bowl and never even bake them! The brownie batter will be very thick; this is what makes them super chewy and delicious. So scoop the batter into the pan, it will not pour....

Yesterday was my daughter’s birthday party and tomorrow is her actual birthday. She’s turning 11. She finishes up 5th grade this week and will be on to middle school in the fall. Next month, she’ll be away at camp for 2 ½ weeks. My baby girl is growing up! And I’d maybe be a little more sad if she weren’t such a sweet, funny, smart girl who still loves a snuggle, adores the color pink and reads any chance she gets....
