I start by making a traditional orange roll filling with butter, sugar, and lots of fresh orange zest. And for the burst of fresh cranberry flavor, I pulse fresh cranberries in my food processor, with sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. I process it until it looks almost like jam, but still has lots of chunks in it. And because I don’t want too much liquid in there, I just set the mixture over a sieve while I prepare my dough....

Ingredient Notes Nilla wafers – The crust is made with Nilla wafer cookies. Name brand or store bought will both work. A lot of crusts are comprised of simply cookie crumbs and butter, but this one has some dry ingredients added to it, like flour and sugar. So you get the tender crumb from the flour, but the amazing cookie-ness from the Nilla wafers. Butter – This recipe was developed using real butter, so that is the best choice....

This creamy white sauce mushroom pasta is a feast on its own. The pan-fried mushrooms wrapped around the pieces of silken linguine pasta, coated with milky, cheesy sauce with a drizzle of fresh herbs …OMG, that tastes you straight up to the Pasta heaven! It is an indulging flavor which is utterly pleasing to the palate. The pasta bowl is a wholesome meal on its own, if you have a hearty appetite like certain Boy here has, pair the pasta with toasted garlic bread or soft boiled eggs....

Ingredients Needed Potatoes – You want baby yellow, white, or red potatoes here. Russets are great for baked or whipped potatoes because of their texture, but they are a little mealy and flavorless. This is a great time to use smooth, buttery baby potatoes. Butter Buttermilk or milk Salt and pepper Mix-ins – As desired (bacon, green onions, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, herbs, garlic, etc.) How to Make Creamy Stovetop Potatoes

Today I’m in dire need of simple dinners that I can make with my eyes closed. (Don’t we all need a few of those in our back pocket at all times?!) And you guys know I love me some curry recipes. I’ve shared my quick chicken curry, quick and easy vegetarian curry and my 20-minute coconut chicken curry. All are worth checking out for sure. And today I’m happy to finally be sharing another favorite that I make ALL the time!...

4.84 46 Published Feb 01, 2021, Updated Jun 12, 2023 Today I’m sharing a creamy chocolate pudding. The catch… it’s made with avocado instead of cream so it’s dairy-free and doesn’t have any of the weird thickeners or stabilizers you often find in store-bought puddings. It’s also super simple to whip up. Just throw everything in your food processor or blender and boom, dessert is done. I think you’re going to love it....

We just had a lazy, lovely Easter weekend. The Easter bunny found us and brought the kiddos all kinds of goodies. We did a little backyard Easter egg hunt and had a big breakfast and dinner. (My daughter happily said we were feasting all day!) I was thankful for some gorgeous weather including blue skies and temps in the mid 70s. And I was thankful for some evening downtime and family movie nights....

Not only are these lemon-kissed sugar cookies delicious (like, seriously amazing–I adapted them from America’s Test Kitchen Baking Book, so you know they’re going to be awesome), but they a) are done, start to finish, in 30 minutes and b) are made by hand–no need to pull out the mixer, all you need is a sturdy wire whisk and a silicone spatula. It doesn’t get better than this. You’re going to need all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, table salt, butter, vegetable oil, a small lemon, cream cheese, and an egg....

These flourless peanut butter cookies are seriously the easiest, quickest cookies and I almost didn’t want to tell you guys that they were gluten free, or didn’t have any butter or flour, because I know there are people out there who will dismiss this recipe thinking of it simply as a replacement if you can’t have normal cookies. Not the case. This is actually just an amazing cookie recipe and it’s simply a fun side note that they don’t have flour or butter....

Ingredient and Equipment List Butter – Butter is a main component for both flavor and texture. I recommend real, salted butter. If you use unsalted butter, you’ll want to add about 1 teaspoon extra salt to your dough. Sugar– White granulated sugar. Eggs – It’s important to use large or extra large eggs in this recipe or your dough may turn out a little dry. Vanilla Extract – Pure or artificial vanilla extract is fine....

My other favorite way to eat tempeh? Tempeh Bacon! What is tempeh? Tempeh (pronounced tem-pei not tem-pah as I used to say!) is believed to have originated in Indonesia many years ago and is still popular there today. It’s typically made from fermented soybeans, but often you will find other ingredients in the mix, such as barley, other grains or beans. It’s an excellent source of protein and the texture is completely different from tofu....

What was I escaping from, you ask? This: Sick. This Seattle girl was not bred for triple digits, folks. I start getting grumpy once we get into the upper 80’s and it just gets worse from there. One of the reasons I love McCall is because it’s always about 15-20 degrees cooler up there in the mountains than it is in the valley where I live. My brother and his family came and met us up there and we had a week full of hiking, swimming, wild flower picking, boating, fireworks-watching, bonfire-making, and junk-food-eating....

4.2 513 Published Jul 11, 2023, Updated Jun 28, 2024 It honestly feels like I gave birth to Olivia yesterday and yet a whole year has gone by. Before having children I remember hearing parents say that “kids grow up way too fast” and oh my goodness, now I can totally relate. Cue the tears! I knew I wanted to make Olivia a homemade cake for her first birthday and I wanted it to be on the healthier side without any added sugar....

White chocolate liqueur had me hooked from the first time I tried it. It was a bottle of Godiva white chocolate liqueur that I bought for a cocktail that I wanted to make, and I was afraid I wouldn’t like it. I’m not a big fan of white chocolate and thought the white chocolate liqueur might be cloyingly sweet. But I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it had the perfect balance of sweet, creamy and boozy....

I’ve also found this is a great way to cut citrus to introduce it to little ones who can’t yet chew the tough membranes. My baby loves to eat up orange slices this way! Here’s some other ideas on how to use both grapefruit and orange segments: – try oranges in place of mangoes in this Spicy Honey Chicken Salad, the dressing has oj in it so the flavors blend perfectly!...
