Supplies Needed: Empty glass bottles (see below for examples) Variety of lace and burlap Twine and white cotton string Hot glue gun Which Glass Bottles Work Best? You can literally repurpose any glass bottle for this! I think a mix of sizes and shapes looks best. In these photos I have used empty bottles from Torani Syrups, an old glass milk bottle and a variety of sodas. Most grocery stores will have a beverage section where you could choose a variety of bottle shapes....

I’m a bourbon lover through and through. It’s my go-to drink of choice. Often it’s an old fashioned cocktail but I also love just a good bourbon and diet Ginger Ale to sip on. I’m also a huge salmon lover. It’s definitely my favorite fish. We try to eat it weekly. So you can imagine that if you put some bourbon and salmon together in a recipe, I’m in my happy place....

4.37 227 Published May 05, 2021, Updated Mar 05, 2024 How to Make Baked Oatmeal with Chocolate One of the reasons baked oatmeal is so popular is because baked oatmeal recipes are so easy to whip up and perfect for meal prep! You literally need one bowl and one baking dish. Anytime I can cut back on dishes, I’m going to! We do wayyyy too many dishes around here to be adding more mixing bowls, especially now that we have a baby....

Make Easy Fruit Sorbet with just 3 ingredients in just a few minutes! This post came to be as a result of a late surfeit of summer fruits in our local grocery store last month. The fruits got cheap, we got greedy, and the result was more fruit at home than we could possibly eat before they went bad. Besides, I love fruit desserts and this was the perfect opportunity....

4.41 99 Published Jul 12, 2019, Updated May 28, 2024 Chia pudding is the ultimate “diet-friendly” breakfast and/or mid-day snack. It’s gluten free, dairy free, grain free, refined sugar free, paleo friendly… it fits in almost any dietary preference or restriction and doesn’t skimp on flavor! I love how customizable chia pudding is. This is a great starter recipe, but if you want to get creative, feel free to experiment with my basic chia seed pudding recipe....

3.99 19 Published Oct 15, 2024 The sweet and savory combo from the dates and goat cheese is absolute perfection and the crunch of the pecans takes this dish to the next level. They’re a favorite of mine to serve at Thanksgiving dinner along with these sweet potato bites and hot honey whipped cottage cheese dip. How to Store Leftovers If you end up with any leftovers (rare, but it happens!...

So. While we really try to keep cookbook-exclusive recipes exclusive to cookbooks, I feel like this easy weeknight chili recipe needs a permanent spot here on the blog. It’s packed with protein, low in calories, and literally loved by everyone I know who has made it, plus it’s quick and easy enough to make any day of the week (plus double it for leftovers the next day that will be even MORE delicious!...

I highly recommend slapping on a pair of rubber gloves while you make this–any residual moisture on your hands will make the salts fizz prematurely and if you have any tiny cuts or scratches or irritations on your hands, the straight-up citric acid isn’t going to make them feel better (don’t worry, it’ll be fine in the tub, partially because it’s diluted and partially because the fizzy reaction is actually the baking soda neutralizing the acid....

4.5 31 Published Nov 07, 2022, Updated Mar 18, 2024 I was definitely intimidated at first and assumed that I could just swap the all-purpose flour in my classic cinnamon rolls recipe with gluten-free all-purpose flour. I was wrong because my first attempt was a failure! After some research and recipe tweaking I came up with this specific gluten-free cinnamon roll recipe. I had never had or made gluten-free cinnamon rolls before so I was pleasantly surprised at how these turned out!...

Ingredient Notes Fresh Garlic – You’ll need an entire (large) head of garlic for this recipe. If you have one of the large containers of peeled garlic cloves, that works great here, but avoid using pre-chopped garlic in a jar, frozen garlic, or dried garlic in this recipe. When garlic is such a huge main component, you’ll want to use real, fresh garlic. Sirloin – As the recipe name implies, sirloin is a great cut of beef for skewers....

All food luck aside, I kind of tend to be really unlucky when I travel; in fact, my friend Jeni has gotten more than one middle of the night/obscenely early morning phone call when things have gone south. I’ve broken teeth more than once, I’ve had some seriously lost luggage, I found myself alone in a big, unfamiliar city when I was 8 months pregnant, I’ve had a kid in the PICU....

February sure came fast. I’m kinda still getting used to the new year and now we’re in February? Luckily, there’s lots to look forward to this month. The Superbowl is coming up, the kids are all into Valentine’s Day, I’m gonna be heading down to the beach for a few days later in the month, and my brother’s family might pop up for a visit. All good things! ❤️ But let’s move on to the food....

Since then, I love playing around with fried rice recipes (including this recipe, which is one of my all-time favorites.) It’s a great way to use up leftover rice, half-used red onions, and those colored bell peppers that you bought with great intentions a week ago and now you need to use up before you’re filled with $5 of regret. When we were in Hawaii a few years ago, we had Hawaiian fried rice for breakfast a few times–it was loaded up with things like fresh pineapple and bacon or ham (or Spam…don’t hate on it until you’ve tried it!...

24 Published Jan 27, 2020, Updated Aug 26, 2024 Before we dive into each individual flour, I wanted to address something: there is no #1 alternative flour! One flour doesn’t stick out from the rest in terms of nutrition profile, texture or performance. One flour is not “the best” for weight loss. Any of these flours are all great options if you’re looking to incorporate more nutrients into your baking in place of a traditional all-purpose flour....

4.88 26 Published Dec 13, 2021, Updated Mar 18, 2024 Why You Need to Try This Recipe It’s the perfect loaf for your holiday spread! Enjoy it for brunch or dessert – it’s delicious anytime. No kneading or rising time needed, this quick bread is super simple to make! Ingredients Needed all-purpose flour – most of this bread is made with all-purpose flour but I did mix in some whole wheat pastry flour for extra nutrients....

3.8 36 Published Aug 13, 2015, Updated Jul 03, 2024 I know I get pumped about recipes all the time, but trust me on this one. I mean, just look at it… Beyond the fact that it’s beautiful, it’s also incredibly easy to make and it’s tastes heavenly. Isaac said it was one of the best desserts I’ve ever made… so there’s that. I know for sure that this recipe will be a summer-staple for us going forward and it will definitely be served next year for the 4th of July!...

I think by now you guys know we are ALL about some muffins in this house. I probably bake at least 2 batches of muffins a week, more on weeks when we’ve run out and I’m replenishing our freezer stock. (Just watch my Instagram stories on the weekends…) Muffins. All. Day. Long. (Including for dinner, like my veggie mac and cheese muffins I re-shared earlier in the week.) These healthy peanut butter and jelly muffins are our current obsession....

It’s no secret that I love roasted red peppers. I put them on panini, pasta, pizza, dips, eggs and omelets, salads and more. Most people buy them jarred in the store, but it’s super easy to make them at home, and the superior taste is worth the little effort it takes to do it. You can use this same method with red, yellow, and orange peppers and I also use it for roasting anaheims before putting them in salsas and soups....

What kind of kale should I use? You can use any kind of kale, from curly to lacinato, but I recommend getting the bags of pre-packaged and chopped kale to make this SO easy! The really awesome thing about cooking it in the Instant Pot is that you don’t have to worry so much about the stems that are often in those bags. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t generally like them and try to remove them as much as possible....
