Ingredient Notes Fresh Berries – You can use strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and even blueberries. If combining a mixture of berries, I suggest making a good amount of them strawberries or raspberries. I often throw in a few blueberries, but I’ve never tried it with all blueberries. Vinegar and other seasonings- You’ll also need white wine vinegar, garlic, some onion, salt, pepper, canola oil, and poppy seeds. Honey – Or sugar, if you’re in a pinch....

Have you tried soy curls yet? I’ve had them at various vegan restaurants before but only recently started playing with them at home, and let me tell you, I am impressed! I think they are one of the best meat alternatives around. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of the vegan meats out there, and I only eat them occasionally. I much prefer beans, tofu or tempeh. But I think these soy curls will have a regular place in our menu, and I’m excited to create more recipes with them!...

You guys asked for more salad jars, so here’s my latest favorite. (You can see my last version, here, with more info on the idea.) It’s no secret that I could Latin food pretty much every day of the week and sweet, juicy mangoes combined with hearty black beans is one of my favorite combos. I especially love the protein and fiber powerhouse you get when you combine beans with chicken....

We started out with a book signing , and after showing up to the wrong store, we were thrilled to see there were actually people excited to see us at the right store! After a long day of traveling and not too much to eat, I was beyond excited when this dude walked in with a pan of warm Pao de Queijo– be still my heart! It was baked to perfection too, loved it!...

Have you tried Buffalo Cauliflower yet? It’s so delicious, I want to eat it in every possible way! Sometimes simply dipped in Vegan Ranch or Blue Cheese, and often in a buddha bowl. Variations I used brown rice, but you could substitute white rice, quinoa or farro. Add some cooked kale instead of baby spinach. Instead of cashew cream, drizzle with vegan ranch dressing. This buddha bowl is gluten free as long as you use almond flour in the batter....

I’ve shared before one of my favorite tricks for encouraging young kids to try new things in the kitchen. Sometimes all it takes is relating it to something they know and love. Caribbean Rubbed Pork Chops with Mango Salsa instantly became cool when I told my three boys it’s Captain Jack Sparrow’s favorite dinner. Hummus and Tandoori chicken? “Just like Aladdin eats!” Green smoothie? “Shrek Shake.” You get the picture....

Not everyone has a coffee machine for various reasons. It is expensive and it takes a lot of counter space. But that does not mean one can not have a good cup of cappuccino at home. So I thought to share with you my easy method to make good cappuccino in the comfort of your home and without a coffee machine. But if you have a milk frother that will take it to the next level....

I saw this recipe for a Caramelized Onion & Gruyère Strata in Bobby Flay’s new cookbook and it spoke to me. But it spoke louder once I contemplated adding some bacon and mushrooms, because it just feels like bacon and mushrooms belong with caramelized onions, smokey gruyère, and spinach. But if bacon doesn’t speak to you, we can’t be friends anymore. Just kidding. But really, if you don’t eat bacon or would just rather not have it, you’re perfectly fine leaving it out here and just know that’s how Bobby did it in the first place....

I’ve been making that corn chowder since the summer my husband and I got married so…12 years (side note: how???) and I’ve never really veered too far off course because I love it so much. But then…one day…it happened. I decided to mix it up. I didn’t have any bacon (gasp!) and I had a can of chipotles left over from this chicken (plus about half the chicken, which, spoiler alert, comes into play as well)....

Just like my teriyaki steak sushi burger, these chicken katsu sushi burgers are a creative and incredibly delicious marriage of two distinct Japanese dishes!

This recipe comes from Captain Jackson’s Historic Chocolate Shop in Boston. Captain Jackson’s Historic Chocolate Shop is a really incredible little place housed in one of Boston’s oldest surviving residences, the Clough House, which was built in 1713! It’s part of the Old North Church & Historic Site (Old North Church is where Paul Revere sent church sexton Robert Newman and Captain John Pulling, Jr. to the top of the steeple with two lanterns on April 18, 1775 to signal that British troops were approaching Lexington and Concord–you know, “One if by land and two if by sea”–and started the American Revolution....

4.92 10 Published Dec 07, 2022, Updated Nov 11, 2024 If you’ve never had a chocolate crinkle cookie before, they’re basically a mix between a soft cookie and a fudgy brownie. They’re coated in powdered sugar before baking, which when baked creates “crinkles” in the cookie. Apparently the original chocolate crinkle cookie recipe was created by Helen Fredell and first made an appearance in Betty Crocker’s 1957 cookie cookbook, “Cooky Carnival” and they’ve been a holiday favorite ever since!...

5 16 Published Jun 23, 2016, Updated Jun 12, 2023 I mean there’s avocado, bacon and blue cheese involved so of course it’s going to be good. And I’m telling you, it’s delicious. Both Isaac and I are obsessed with this combo. We devoured the toast in about two minutes flat and couldn’t stop talking about how good it was. I know you’re not used to seeing things like bacon and blue cheese around here, but what’s a cobb salad without them?...
