Oh, you betcha. We’re really doing this. Why? Because who wouldn’t want a fresh picked bouquet of salt-cured meat? It’s possibly the most romantic display of affection, ever. Remember this tutorial on cute little felt rosettes? Sort of the same thing going on here. But with bacon. Oooh, is anyone else having visions of a bacon wreath now? Just me? Okay. Anyway, take a strip of bacon and roll it up....

Spaghetti squash has a mildy sweet flavor on it’s own, but it also kind of takes on flavors of things you pair with it. I use as a base to a lot of things when cooking family meals. For example, the other day I made BBQ Pork sliders. My kiddos ate their sandwiches, and my husband and I tossed our pork on top of the roasted squash. I’ve done the same thing with fajitas (in place of the tortilla), and obviously pasta sauces, etc....

Ingredient Notes Dough – You’ll need pizza dough. Obviously. You can use any pizza dough- whatever you normally use to make pizza at home. Here is a great recipe for homemade dough and another for Neapolitan Pizza Crust (which is perfect for the grill.) If you’re planning on serving more than a few people, but even if you’re not, I highly recommend making the dough ahead of time and freezing it into individual crusts to prevent the dough from over-rising, especially on a hot summer night....

Here, I show you with step by step instructions how to make the most glorious, perfect high hydration focaccia bread that is drenched in flavor, with big bubbles on top, large air pockets inside, and irresistibly crispy throughout! While it’s known as a “flat bread”, it’s not a traditional flat bread at all (unlike roti canai, coconut roti or this whole wheat naan). It is flat compared to other breads, because it’s baked in a shallower pan and spread out thinner....

4.6 20 Published May 13, 2016, Updated May 07, 2024 Guess what today is? Friday. Woo-hoo. But wait, it’s also National Hummus Day!!! Y’all know how much I love hummus… so obviously I’m celebrating. I can not think of a better way to celebrate than with these hummus collard wraps. Why I Love Collard Wraps Have you tried collard wraps yet? Please say yes. If not, they’re like lettuce wraps....

Spaghetti night is a favorite in my house. ❤️ My kids thankfully love spaghetti as much as we do, so I get big cheers all around when they find out it’s on the menu. Which is pretty often. When you find a dinner everyone really enjoys, you tend to go back to it again and again. I often make my go-to turkey spaghetti dinner, either with the homemade sauce or just a jar of marinara....

I adore sweet potatoes. I roast them, bake them, stuff them and even use them for sweet potato toast. Normally, baking sweet potatoes can take an hour or more. And many nights, I just don’t have that kind of time. (Or I haven’t gotten a chance to get dinner started that far in advance.) Plus right now, we don’t have a working oven in my house. It’s been months and months since it broke and GE hasn’t been able to fix it and won’t replace it....

I love East Asian cuisine. And considering it’s the most populated region in the world and they have such a rich and vast diversity in their food culture, I’m very glad I love it. If you asked me which was my favorite though, that would be a tough one to answer. There’s so much that’s amazing and different about their dishes and foods that it’s hard to pick one over the other....

The problem with waffles (and pancakes) is that they are messy and they take a lot of time. Sometimes they’re good and sometimes they’re weird. Some recipes, delicious as they are, require you to whip egg whites or prepare them the night before (which is handy but also requires motivation and forethought, two things I am often lacking). Enter these waffles, also known as the Waffles of Insane Greatness. I made them for the first time a few months ago after discovering them on the Food Network site and they have become a weekly deal for us....

One of my most favorite things in the whole entire world is cheese sauce. Over noodles (I’d way rather have it drizzled on top of pasta than mixed together), over veggies (just about any vegetable is edible with cheese sauce and mu children agree), with tortilla chips (do I really need to explain?) My conundrum with cheese sauce is that a) I don’t love “cheese product” and b) it’s rarely healthy eating-friendly....

We’re starting up back at work and school this week after spring break, and re-entry is always tough. Hopefully we’ll be back in the swing of things in the next couple of days. Or else just eagerly awaiting the weekend… Anyway, today we’re making baked Mediterranean salmon, which is just incredibly flavorful! The salmon is simply roasted with olive oil, salt and pepper and lemon slices. And then the magic happens....

So I asked my friend for the recipe and that’s when I learned that this is a thing. But then she was kind enough to send me her favorite version of the recipe, because there are recipes o’plenty out there. But…funny story. Actually–let’s back up to that time we bought my son a shirt that said something to the effect of, “‘That’s too much bacon!’ Said no one ever.” Well, when she sent me this recipe, I swear she told me to use an 8-ounce jar of bacon pieces....

Hiya friends! I hope you had a great weekend! We did birthday party extravaganza on Saturday and watched some football and made it over to the pumpkin patch yesterday afternoon for hay rides and a farm tour. It’s been a fun fall tradition ever since M was 6 months old. This year, too, J was really into it. He’s ALL about the animals and anything farm-related, so it was a perfect trip....

I have some peanut butter fanatics in my house. Both my kids love the stuff. But in true kid form, they have preferences on their brand of peanut butter. No, I’m not kidding. My daughter likes one kind, my son likes a different one. Of course. So in addition to always having plenty of peanut butter on hand, I always have plenty of TWO kinds of peanut butter on hand....

4.52 28 Published Jun 17, 2020, Updated Apr 12, 2023 If you’re a peanut butter lover like me, you’ll know that I pretty much like to drizzle all of my overnight oats with peanut butter (or another nut butter) and I already have several pb inspired overnight oats combos — everything from peanut butter cup overnight oats to peanut butter and jelly overnight oats. All that said, sometimes it’s nice to get back to basics and that’s what this recipe does!...

how to make it You’ll need water, sugar, yeast, salt, an egg, some Greek yogurt, and flour. If you want, you can also add chopped fresh garlic to the dough, which is a super, super delicious choice. Place the warm water (I always say hot enough to take a hot shower in but not so hot you wouldn’t want to wash your face or hair in it) in a large mixing bowl or bowl of your stand mixer....

I have partnered with ALDI on this post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. We are full into the festive spirit here! We spent the weekend putting up all of our Christmas lights and decorations, I got our cards addressed (such a chore but glad to have it done) and I did a lot of baking yesterday for my son’s preschool bake sale and holiday party that’s tonight....
