4.6 129 Published Jul 23, 2019, Updated Jul 09, 2024 Using Almond Butter to Replace Flour I was all prepared to make traditional muffins (whole grain style, of course) but then I remembered how well almond butter works as a flour substitute and thought I’d try making an almond butter zucchini muffin similar to my flourless pumpkin muffins. I still can’t get over the fact that almond butter can replace flour in a recipe — the texture is so fluffy and the flavor is spot on....

Ingredient and Recipe Notes Beef roast – For best results, use a chuck roast. You could also use top or bottom round. The one roast to stay away from is eye of round; it is dry and flavorless. Onion soup mix – Regular or beefy onion flavor will work. Beef broth – You’ll notice the recipe calls for 4 cups of beef broth, which is 1 32-ounce box. 2 cans of beef broth will also work, even though they don’t equal a full 4 cups....

Start with any herb, or combination of herbs you like. Make sure they’re washed and cleaned, and then snip them up. I tend to use the same combo in most of my recipes, so I just mixed fresh basil, oregano, and rosemary together. You can use herbs alone, or add other flavor components. My favorite combination with fresh herbs is garlic and lemon, so I’m adding fresh minced garlic, and some fresh zest from the lemon....

Roasted fig tartlet can be made a few days ahead of time, and the recipe is also very adaptable. The best thing about the holiday season for me as a food blogger is that I get to start planning for the holidays much earlier than most others! 🙂 Researching for recipe ideas and concepts, and recipe developing and testing take quite a bit of planning, and it gives me the chance to soak up the holiday spirit for that much longer!...

5 17 Published Oct 31, 2024 Pudding made from hard boiled eggs?!? I was skeptical but oh my goodness, it’s sooo good. The hard boiled eggs blend right up to a smooth consistency and when combined with cocoa powder, a sweetener and coconut milk the result is a rich and delicious chocolate pudding. The original creator behind this recipe, Maria Emmerich, created it as a way to get her son to eat more protein....

0 0 Published Sep 30, 2024 I shared this creation on Instagram last year and it went totally viral, so I figured I had to get it up on the blog this fall! If my homemade samoas and date caramel apple slices had a baby the end result would be this recipe. Crunchy apple slices are topped with a coconut almond butter mixture and drizzled with melted chocolate. The combo is SO delicious, I know you’re going to be obsessed as soon as you take your first bite!...

4.17 25 Published Oct 14, 2021, Updated Feb 27, 2023 Traditional vs. Healthy Chicken Parmesan Traditional recipes for chicken parmesan are loaded with multiple kinds of cheese, bread (or flour) and sometimes butter. There is nothing wrong with any of those ingredients, but sometimes I don’t want to feel like I need to be rolled away from the dinner table… you feel me? This simple, cleaned-up version is perfect and won’t leave you feeling overstuffed or bloated....

This savory chicken sausage, sweet potato, Brussels sprout combination is dotted with festive pomegranate arils. It is as beautiful and hearty as it is nutritious. To get started, slice some chicken sausages (right now, I really like the Chicken Apple Smoked Sausages–this is the Sam’s Club brand and I think they’re just as good as the name brand), chop a pound of Brussels sprouts in half, and peel and cut a sweet potato into 3/4″ chunks and place them on a lined baking sheet....

5 8 Published Nov 04, 2022, Updated Nov 04, 2024 If apple pie and apple crisp were to have a baby, the end result would definitely be a dutch apple pie. It has the crispy crust of a traditional apple pie with the delicious oat crumble topping of a crisp. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! In true EBF fashion I took this classic recipe and amped up the nutrition count a bit....

This post is sponsored by the American Dairy Association Mideast. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. As many of you may know, we just love potatoes in my house. All the ways, all the time. And one of my daughter’s favorites side dishes is mashed potatoes, so I try to rotate those in regularly with our meals. We of course adore my creamy mashed potatoes, especially at Thanksgiving....

Super simple to make and can be a starting point for a variety of easy dinner recipes, and is a great way to sneak some veggies into your kids’ meals! A good homemade Marinara Sauce is one of life’s simple pleasures, as well as a neat trick up your sleeve to have because there’s little else that can be as versatile as this. Why this hidden veggie pasta sauce is such a versatile recipe In addition to pasta, marinara sauce can also be a great vehicle for other recipes like meatballs, roasted meats, lasagnas, seafood etc....

This sauce, you guys. I’m officially obsessed. It started with my 15-minute honey garlic chicken, which gets rave reviews and is a regular staple in many of your kitchens. Mine, too. Today, we’re doing a slight twist, with a few adjustments and making honey garlic pork chops. And holy moly, are they tasty! We’ve got seared and juicy pork chops that are cooked and served with a rich, thick, drool-worthy honey garlic sauce....

Bacon is one of those foods I always have in my refrigerator. I cook with it, sure, and I use it for toppings. But mostly it’s part of our regular breakfasts. My son is a little bacon fiend, and so I’ve always got some available for him. And to be honest, I mostly make it in the microwave. Microwave bacon is so quick and easy. You can do just a couple of slices or up to about 8-10 at a time....

So here’s the thing, my original idea for this easy frozen yogurt was to make it Red, White and Blue. You know, as a fun summer treat perfect for Fourth of July (like this no bake coconut strawberry cheesecake). But it turned out to be pink, white and purple instead. But hey that’s okay, because just like life, these things don’t always go according to plan. But rest assured, the final product here is every bit as awesome as it looks!...

4 11 Published Mar 07, 2016, Updated Dec 13, 2021 Raw garlic has antibacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties. It also helps to boost the immune system. For these reasons it’s been used medicinally to help treat cold and flu symptoms for ages. Eating garlic raw (chopped/crushed and set to rest for a few minutes) is best if you’re looking to take advantage of all the great health benefits, but if you’re just looking for a way to add an amazing amount flavor to your dinner, cooked garlic is where it’s at....

Setting up a bar-style Italian Soda spread is a fun way to let guests customize their own drinks. Last fall I helped host a baby shower where we did an Italian Soda Bar (the preggo girl-of-honor had never had one before!) so I had these cute printables made and today I’m sharing them with you. You can download them (for free, of course) at the end of this post! Since many people don’t know how to make an Italian Soda, there’s an easy how-to sheet....

This Lemon coriander soup has a savoury flavour of fresh coriander and tanginess of lemon. You can enjoy it guilt-free before meals as it is low in calories and help you keep full. Bonus is it is super healthy and provides you a good amount of vitamin C and other antioxidants. I am particularly in love with this veg clear soup because it is not only quick and easy to make but has no processed food or refined grains....

If you follow me on Instagram, you already know how much I love rice. But when you decide to go on a low carb diet, the first thing you need to cut back on is rice, which I know is difficult for rice lovers. For the past few weeks, I am trying to substitute the regular rice with cauliflower rice in most of my recipes. And, I am happy to report that most of these cauliflower rice recipes are totally here to stay....

Don’t forget to watch the video where you can see all these cocktails in action. And don’t miss the non-alcoholic galaxy lemonade recipe (color changing lemonade) that uses butterfly pea flowers! Just as I promised, here are FOUR AMAZING Color Changing Cocktail recipes! These build on my post on how to make color changing alcohol, which discusses the science and technicality of achieving the same color changing effect using naturally acidic alcohol....

You only need 3 simple ingredients: Our Bacon Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar, and 100% Pure Maple Syrup. Because this dressing uses only three ingredients, it’s important that they be high quality. If you make this same dressing with generic cider vinegar and Mrs. Butterworth’s syrup, it will NOT be the same. Trust me and use the good stuff here. Bragg brand apple cider vinegar is raw and unfiltered and the taste (and health benefits) are unparalleled....
