This post was originally sponsored by Myxx. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. I just have to take a quick minute to say a very happy birthday to my now 6-year-old son, whose birthday is today. He’s my baby who’s not at all a baby these days. But he’s still my sweet, happy, super smart, handsome, cuddly blonde boy that I could just eat right up. ❤️ But let’s talk food, a subject my growing boy is very interested in as well these days....
Ingredients and Equipment Notes You really only need basic ingredients to make great broth at home and it’s incredibly flexible. I don’t even always measure the vegetables. It’s also fine if your veggies are just barely starting to go bad. Instead of tossing them out, toss them in the pot! Rotisserie chicken – You can make broth with a chicken that is mostly picked apart, or one that still has quite a bit of meat on it....
How to Make No-Bake Cheesecake You only need a few ingredients. Whipping cream (heavy or regular), sour cream (I recommend full fat), and Cream cheese (regular or reduced fat, but avoid fat free.). These all get whipped up together with a little sugar and a touch of lemon juice. I always include the lemon, even if I’m going to top this with chocolate or something. It doesn’t necessarily make it lemon flavored, it just adds brightness and depth to the flavor....
5 6 Published Apr 28, 2023, Updated Sep 23, 2024 This recipe is packed with fresh strawberry flavor and is made with cake flour, resulting in a super tender and soft cake. Plus, we’re using less sugar and oil than traditional cake recipes so it’s definitely EBF-approved. And let’s not forget about the decadent strawberry buttercream frosting that we’re making from scratch. It’s seriously SO GOOD. I can’t wait for you to try it!...

Perfect as an easy dinner recipe or a lunch box meal. Shrimp is an easy lunch and dinner component Shrimp is such an easy, fast, versatile and delicious option for flavor-packed lunches and dinners. Like these shrimp rice bowls, shrimp katsu sandwiches (ebi katsu), shrimp and avocado toast, shrimp bao buns, and even this amazing shrimp curry. Shrimp is a great seafood canvas on which to build flavors and textures, and this is why I always keep some shrimp in the freezer as a contingency plan....
I’m more of a fried Chinese food and ice cream kind of girl. I don’t know what it is about these babies of mine (if you missed the news on Facebook, it’s officially BOY #4 for us!) but they like fried food. And what’s better than crispy fried chunks of chicken drenched in sticky sweet sauce? General Tso’s has been a long-time favorite take-out item of mine, so I was excited to try this lightened up version, and it didn’t disappoint....
Crispy tofu with spicy sauce Whenever you need a quick and easy dinner that doesn’t lack flavor, crunchy tofu pieces covered in sauce is the way to go. The tofu is the easiest part; toss the pieces in cornstarch, then pan fry, bake, or air fry until crisp. The hardest part is choosing the sauce! There’s teriyaki sauce, black pepper sauce, and so many more amazing sauces you can use to coat baked tofu....
Apple-zilla. I am not joking when I say these are the biggest apples I’ve ever seen in my LIFE. Here’s a comparison to a normal sized apple. Applezilla is well over a foot in circumference and it weighs a pound and a half! How could I not get them?? With caramel apples on my mind already, I knew these were destined to be the biggest, baddest apples of all time....
Gremolata sounds a little exotic, doesn’t it? It’s really pretty basic though. It’s just an herb mixture that features lemon zest, garlic and parsley. And often nuts and Parmesan cheese. It’s one of those magical condiments that just brings food to life. Without a ton of effort. Totally my style! And it goes stunningly well with green beans. French green beans, to be exact, which are the long, slender ones....
That said, I really do have a whole-hearted appreciation for garden-fresh produce. And probably my favorite thing is fresh green beans. Growing up, one of my best friends had the most amazing garden and we would eat green beans until we could eat no more. 3 meals a day. One of my favorite ways to eat them is with this compound butter, made with reduced balsamic vinegar, garlic, and green onions....
We are back from the beach and somewhat settled back in. But that doesn’t mean I was ready for Monday morning to roll along. We literally got home on Saturday, got out of the car from our road trip, dumped our bags and headed straight for the pool. This is not like me. Normally I’d be doing laundry, grocery shopping, prepping food and catching up on work emails. But I felt so happy and carefree to pack up some snacks and go to our neighborhood pool for the night instead....
I’m trying to soak up the summertime since we’re getting dangerously close to August and my kids are starting back to school in just a few more weeks. Bah! I’m not quite ready for that… so we’re trying to enjoy these long, hot days. Pool time, playing outside, tons of reading, some movie nights and more. And we’re also watching ALL of the Olympics right now. My kids are 10 and (almost) 8, so they’re pretty into it....
4.43 20 Published Mar 05, 2014, Updated Feb 19, 2024 That said, I tend to go through phases with what I eat for breakfast and right now I’m in a tofu scramble and protein pancake phase. I do get cravings for oatmeal so that pops up too, but it’s been on the back burner lately. I use protein powder in my usual protein pancake recipe but I was out of protein powder for a few weeks, which got me thinking about how to make a protein pancake without the powder....
Apple adds a wonderful layer of flavor to a classic lemonade, and it’s super simple to make too. You only need 3 ingredients! A refreshing Summer and Fall drink The combination of sweet apple flavor with tart lemons makes for a delicious and refreshing drink. There are multiple ways to make this drink, and all of them only include 3 ingredients! While I juice the apples, I provide options to make this drink without a juicer....
There are moms out there whose kids have no idea what fast food restaurants are. I am not one of those moms. This isn’t a feather in my cap or something I’m bragging about, but the truth is that for us, sometimes fast food happens. I’ve always been pretty open with the fact that I have one very unusually picky eater–if he could live on Kraft macaroni and cheese, peanut butter and honey sandwiches, and cheese, he probably would (yes, I get a lot of advice, solicited and unsolicited, and no, I don’t want any right now....
If you can find hazelnuts without skins, buy them! I will not try to fool you by saying it’s no big deal to remove hazelnut skins. It’s actually one of the most annoying things ever. However, the finished product here is so crazy good that it’s worth the labor of love. **EDIT: Some readers have noted this easy way of skinning the nuts. However, others who have tried it have found that boiling the nuts sometimes removes some of the natural oils and consequently the nuts don’t reach a creamy/buttery stage....
I’ve grown jalapeño plants in my garden for years and years. And they always do so well and produce so many! As a result, I have the lovely problem of figuring out what to do with the jalapeño surplus I bring in from the backyard. Previously, I’ve shared easy fresh jalapeño relish, which is a great way to use up a lot of them. I also love making jalapeño cream cheese dip for a fast appetizer....
Learn how to froth milk at home without any fancy gadgets, to make this delicious vanilla steamer! Back when I used to work as a trained barista during my university days, the least complicated drink I had to make was a “fluffy” (also called a babyccino). It was a drink made for kids who were too young for coffee, but still wanted the “coffee experience” with their family. It was simply steamed milk, with a sprinkling of cinnamon or hot chocolate powder on top, and topped with a marshmallow that sweetened the drink as it melted....
4.33 14 Published Jul 30, 2020, Updated Jun 28, 2024 For this first post, I thought I would share a simple recipe for an easy stage 1 food for babies 4 month and up, homemade carrot puree. Like sweet potato and winter squash, carrot puree makes a great stage 1 food for babies because it can easily be pureed until thin. Carrots are also low on the allergy scale and easily digested by a tiny tummy....
