If you think you’ve seen this before, you’re not wrong–I posted this last fall and it was our most popular recipe of 2013! It’s not too early (or too late!) to get started on brewing your own homemade vanilla, so if this is something you’ve wanted to do in the past, today’s your day! Original Post You guys, I have a confession. I’m kind of the biggest Grinch in the universe....

Cashew milk is by far my favorite plant milk. It’s incredibly creamy, rich and neutral tasting plus it doesn’t need to be strained through a nut bag, like almond milk. Most recipes have you soak the cashews overnight before blending, but I have found that unnecessary. A quick soak in hot water works just fine, especially if you have a high powered blender, such as a Vitamix. If you’ve ever wanted to make your own nut milks at home, this easy recipe is a great place to start!...

37 Published Mar 21, 2020, Updated Jul 28, 2021 I always joke that Isaac and I have way too much food in the house for two people, but then again I don’t ever complain when I look up recipes and already have all the ingredients on hand! Once you have your pantry stocked with these healthy staples be sure to check out my healthy pantry staple recipes for a roundup of quick and easy meals you can make....

We love some tacos in my house. Taco night is always a good night. My kiddos, who are 10 and 8, currently eat 4 tacos each on taco night. My son sometimes opts for 5. What am I gonna do when they are teenagers?! While we all adore our standard ground turkey tacos, I also like to change it up. We make baked shredded chicken tacos, shrimp tacos, salsa verde pork tacos and I personally love some vegetarian tacos with black beans and veggies....

Earlier this week I shared Instant Pot chicken fajitas, which make for a fun family dinner and are just 5 ingredients. I’m back with another Instant Pot recipe today and this one that will have you licking your lips! This Instant Pot pork tenderloin is tender, juicy, well seasoned and has the creamiest, dreamiest gravy that is so very simple to make! This is total comfort food - but made quick and easy!...

Well, it’s Thursday. And to be honest, the fact that a mob stormed the U.S. Capitol building and prevented democracy from being carried out yesterday has sort-of taken the wind out of my sails for a fresh start in 2021. I mean, this is the United States, right? Washington, D.C., was my home for 5 years. These videos and images are so shocking and hurtful. I’m really looking forward to inauguration day in just under two weeks so we can really start a new chapter....

This recipe for Italian chicken skillet with pesto is perfect for making a delicious dinner without a lot of time or effort....

I am sure when you see this recipe many of you will wonder who needs a jeera rice recipe. Well, I needed it at one point in my life 🙂 Yes! I am that woman who at that time did not knew how to cook plain rice perfectly let alone making jeera rice. So many times I ended up burned at the bottom, mushy, sticky or dry rice during that time....

5 10 Published Sep 28, 2022, Updated May 19, 2024 And I’m excited to share that the mixture turned out awesome as lentil meatballs! They hold together well, are super flavorful and the texture is quite similar to traditional meatballs. I bet even the meat-eaters in your life will love this recipe! Why You’ll Love This Recipe Packed with flavor and texture similar to regular meatballs… but they’re vegan! Can be served so many different ways for a meatless meal!...

This recipe is a little bit of a splurge, but it’s still do-able when you’re trying to watch what you eat. The real culprit is the pasta (shocking, right?), and the sauce is so filling (and the servings that I have measured) are so generous that you could make the meatballs smaller and have the recipe make 10 servings, or go for more sauce and less pasta. The sauce is super simple–you’ll need canned tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic, flat-leaf parsley, basil, salt, and pepper....

There are many recipes which are simply difficult to cook without onion and garlic. Especially dishes like matar paneer. But there are families in India who cook without onion garlic always or during specific periods or days, so I have posted quite a few such recipes. ( You can try these recipes I have made without garlic or onion) But does that mean these are not tasty enough? Or gravy is not good?...

I’m at that stage of my life where we now have play date parties. I have girls nights out and whatnot, but when it’s a group get together, it’s almost always kid-focused. Play dates or baby showers or birthday parties. And while at times I miss some of the fun we all had pre-kids, I’m actually fine with it. It’s cool to see people you’ve known forever become parents and then get to watch them with their little ones....

and this… and this. I have a few explanations for my pumpkin feelings. 1) I like the spices, I’m iffy-to-not-okay with the pumpkin itself; 2) I had morning sickness TWICE through pumpkin spice season and I have never been the same; and 3) As soon as people started pumpkin spicing all the things, that part of my brain that seems to resist wildly popular things like Snapchatting on a regular basis, Grey’s Anatomy, and chocolate on bacon switched on and I became like that brooding teenager in the corner....

So. My suggestion was, “Here’s some chocolate. Go take a nap.” Which people ended up thinking was funny, but I made the suggestion jokingly and knew the chances of someone actually using it were slim to none. And then I started thinking, “Why the heck not?! Moms want chocolate! Moms want naps!” So behold the Mother’s Day Chocolate Bar Printable: This will fit on most larger chocolate bars, King Size Hershey’s bars being the smallest I tried and one of those sea salt dark chocolate Lindt bars being the largest....

4 35 Published Nov 16, 2021, Updated Jan 16, 2024 What is Rugalach? Rugelach is a Jewish pastry that literally means “little twist” in Yiddish. I went the traditional route and made crescent-shaped rugelach with real butter, sugar, cream cheese and chocolate. <– What some might call the good stuff! I’m all for healthifying recipes but since this was my first time making rugelach I stuck with the real deal....

5 14 Published Aug 10, 2023, Updated Jan 20, 2024 I do have these berry baked oatmeal bars on the site already, but these oatmeal bars are different! They’re denser and more similar to a soft granola bar versus baked oatmeal. They’re seriously so good… the whole family loved them. And the combo of chocolate chips and dried cranberries is chef’s kiss! Why You’ll Love These Oatmeal Breakfast Bars They’re quick to prepare – perfect for busy mornings....

4.19 76 Published Oct 07, 2021, Updated Oct 07, 2024 I don’t know about you, but whenever I can limit the amount of dirty dishes I have to do after a meal I’m stoked. There’s nothing worse than finishing a delicious dinner and quickly realizing you have a mountain of dishes to do. Especially on a weeknight. I can’t take credit for this recipe as it’s inspired and adapted from this recipe from Rachel Ray....
