4.22 21 Published Apr 20, 2019, Updated Jun 27, 2024 If you’ve been reading EBF for any amount of time I’m sure you’re well aware that I L-O-V-E salads. I haven’t done a full count, but I’m pretty sure that about 40% of my recipes are salad recipes. The other 60% is divided between oatmeal recipes and everything else. It’s probably a 40/20 split. 😉 I guess we’ll just add this asparagus salad to the list....

How to make authentic homemade Masala Chai with a homemade masala mix (spice mix). This is an authentic masala chai recipe, which I’ve been making for years and have tweaked to my own liking. Tea is near and dear to me, having grown up in Sri Lanka (of Ceylon tea fame). But this authentic masala chai recipe was introduced to me by an Indian friend in college. Just as a side note though, masala chai translates to spiced tea....

Actually, there are two of this most favourite recipes for egg curry that I alternate. This every day quick and delicious Tari wali anda curry and Punjabi masala egg curry. Each region of India has it’s own egg curry variation. Being a big egg lover I keep making most of these variations. In this post, I am sharing a basic North Indian style Punjabi egg curry recipe that goes well with Chapati, paratha, steamed rice or biryani....

That’s a quaint little house in the middle of a palm-covered oasis in Maceo, Brazil. It’s the kind of place where you play pick-up soccer games barefoot in the middle of a palm clearing, and half of the members of your team have more than 2 legs. And the kind of place where you can ride a horse into a lagoon and catch a guy in a canoe half way out who gives you a fish for dinner....

The delicious brown butter maple frosting perfectly complements the butter pecan cake. The one thing that excites me most about our usually minimal Thanksgiving spread is that one big dessert that I make each year, which is NOT pumpkin pie or pecan pie. I do make classic pumpkin pie or crustless pumpkin pie, or even a spiced cake variant, like this easy carrot cake or banana layer cake for Thanksgiving....

This Starbucks copycat Brown Sugar Oat Milk Shaken Espresso is what you need this summer! This Brown Sugar Iced Coffee (Brown Sugar Iced Latte) is the seasonal Starbucks drink that is popular around where I live these days. Of course in Starbucks parlance, it’s called a Brown Sugar Oat Milk Shaken Espresso. Fancy name aside, this iced coffee is deeelicious! It’s one of my favorite summer liquid treats (aside from a coffee slushie or a Nutella frappuccino or this rose and vanilla flavored milkshake called falooda!...

Butter lobster risotto is perfect as a romantic meal for two, or when you’ve got guests over for dinner. It’s not every day that we have lobster for dinner (as much as I would love to!). So whenever we do get this delicious ingredient, I want to make it count. I’ve previously shared how to perfectly cook lobster, and I also love making things like lobster rolls, lobster bisque, lobster pasta, or even just steamed lobster with a side of butter, because why not?...

Introducing a new and improved way to eat cabbage: Cabbage Steaks! Just like cauliflower steaks, they aren’t pretending to be like real steaks. Instead, a whole cabbage is sliced into thick “steaks”, dressed with oil and simple seasonings, then roasted until you have tender, lightly caramelized, and richly flavored cabbage leaves. All my life I’ve been assuming cabbage is only good for coleslaw. Boy have I been wrong! Cabbage is an amazing vegetable, just like brussels sprouts or cauliflower, and deserves more attention....

Why You’ll Love This Cauliflower Oatmeal The cauliflower adds micronutrients and fiber without adding a ton of calories to your bowl of oats....

We are back from a weekend of camping and it was glorious! The weather was so lovely - cool at night, highs in the low 70s during the day - and I just loved being outside with my kiddos for every minute of it. We did our favorite hike, had lots of campfires, relaxed and read some books, and just had a fun time together! Alrighty though, let’s move along to the food....

My kiddos started back to school this week. We are in person (for now) and it’s been a great first couple of days! They are loving their teachers (mine are in 4th and 1st grade) and they have some good buddies in their classes. Each class is split into a small bubble, everyone is wearing masks and the groups are spreading out all over campus to maintain enough distance. I know we might end up doing remote learning again at some point this fall, but I’m thankful they’ll have a little school time under their belts....

4.69 34 Published Jun 10, 2020, Updated Sep 18, 2024 If you’re a fan of raspberries, frozen yogurt and chocolate covered treats, you’ll love this recipe! It’s so simple to make and the perfect treat to have on hand throughout the summer. They’re kind of similar to my peanut butter banana bites, but with raspberries and yogurt instead of bananas and peanut butter. The inspiration for these babies came from these Tru Fru dark chocolate raspberries that I have been digging lately....

I seriously love my kids, but, while having a baby in the middle of the summer has some advantages, it also leads to us watching lots Phineas and Ferb (who, by the way, have WAY more exciting summers than we do at our house) and my kids finding ways to entertain themselves while I nurse a baby for the fifty-millionth time that day, all of which contribute to my Mommy Guilt....

Holidays with kids are just more fun, I’ve decided. I never cared a thing about Valentine’s Day. My husband and I don’t even bother with cards most years. But since having kids (we have two, ages 9 and 7 now), we definitely do it up more for every holiday, including Valentine’s Day. I’ll bake and make fun treats with them in the kitchen, we have a Valentine bingo set we got years ago, we cut out paper hearts and give them to each other, and I put a foam heart with a sweet message on their bedroom door every night in February counting down to Valentine’s Day....

3.97 24 Published Jul 09, 2021, Updated Jul 19, 2024 It’s honestly the perfect way to start your morning because it packs a caffeine punch yet it doesn’t spike your blood sugar thanks to the protein. This coffee protein shake is similar to my healthy Frappuccino, but it has an added ingredient that may be a little unexpected… riced cauliflower! It doesn’t add any flavor but adds a creamy texture and added fiber....

I spoke too soon. Last week, we went from gorgeous summer weather to “I’m never cooking again why do I have to wear clothes???” Since I’m legally obligated to both wear clothes and feed my children, I’m turning towards all things cold, including this delicious, quick, easy cucumber salad. I love these Sweet and Spicy Cucumbers, but this is a fun alternative. You’re going to need cucumbers (4 large regular cucumbers or 3 large English cucumbers), a medium red onion, Greek yogurt or sour cream (low-fat is fine, but for best results, skip the fat free), white vinegar, dill weed, a clove of garlic, sugar, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper....
