You only need 3 main ingredients to make this: cream, whole milk, and sugar. Also vanilla extract because, duh, vanilla. The proportions are 2 parts cream to 1 part milk, plus sugar to taste. I do more or less sugar depending on what I’m adding into my ice cream. If I’m going to swirl in caramel or candy for example, I’ll make the base a little less sweet. If I’m adding in tart fruit or leaving it plain, I do a little more....

5 9 Published Jul 10, 2017, Updated Jul 23, 2024 Well folks, rest assured that you’re not alone in this experience of reset and recovery. It’s our bodies natural way of re-balancing and finding homeostasis, and points to an efficient internal monitoring system. So though it may be beneficial to avoid sugar, alcohol, and refined carbohydrates for a few days that doesn’t mean our food has to be boring, bland, or labor intensive....

A few weeks ago my husband, children and I made the familiar drive from our home in Boise, Idaho to my hometown of Seattle, Washington. We’ve made the drive a hundred times before, but this time was different. I was going home to be with my Mom. To say goodbye to my Mom. She fought a courageous battle with a multitude of physical trials over the past 13 years, among them being a destructively progressive case of MS and a major brain injury....

Toasted bread topped with veggies, layers of smoky eggplant, salty feta and flavours from herbs this sandwich is a burst of flavours and textures. The eggplant sandwich is not only healthy and tasty but also very satisfying. Loaded with veggies I am giving a lot of toppings options. You can make and serve this as a grilled eggplant sandwich or as an open toast. Why Do We Love This Eggplant Sandwich?...

Do you guys have those moments in your life that you always think back to when you’re referencing past events? Like…was that before or after my first child was born? Was that before or after we moved across the country? Or got married? Or started a new job or bought a house? Five years ago (and honestly, in so many ways, it feels like a lifetime ago), my husband and I had just moved to Louisiana....

I feel like I should preface this post with one simple fact: I don’t really like grapefruit. I like anything and everything grapefruit flavored or scented- it’s one of my favorites, actually. But just eating plain grapefruit is never something I’ve been able to get behind. So if you’re like me, keep in mind that the grapefruit is used as an acid here, and when blended with all of these flavors, it’s super spectacular....

4.65 308 Published Feb 08, 2024, Updated Jun 20, 2024 They’re a breeze to whip up and come out tasting moist, fudgy and plenty sweet. And trust me, nobody will even be able to tell that they’re made with black beans. They get blended up in your food processor and are completely undetectable. The beans essentially just replace flour, plus they add some fiber and protein. I’ve tried other black bean brownie recipes before and none have turned out as good as this recipe, if I do say so myself!...

I don’t necessarily like this trait about myself and so this spring, I put some fresh herbs in pots on my patio and have resolved to keep them alive until the rain this fall kills them for me. A month later, I am happy to report that my herbs are not only still alive but thriving and I’m actively looking for ways to use them (I used my basil in this pasta sauce recipe and my thyme in these meatloaves)....

We have an awesome basic giant bubble recipe, but I saw these awhile back and wanted to take things to the next level. Once we got the hang of things, they were huge–like some of them were 15-20 feet long. You’re going to need a few supplies that you probably don’t have lurking in your cupboards: *Baking powder. This improves the longevity and strength of the bubbles. *2 wooden dowels *About 6-7 feet of 100% cotton yarn (the thicker the better) *Optional: A weight to help the yarn from getting tangled....

So if you’re still looking for a last-minute gift for your friends and neighbors and kids’ teachers, today’s post is for you If you’re looking for something a little different on Christmas morning, this post is for you. If you’re freaking out that Christmas is a week away and that panicky feeling keeps rising up in your chest and you desperately need chocolate, this post is for you. Finding a good granola recipe that isn’t COMPLETELY horrible for you and/or doesn’t use 52,000 ingredients that will sit in your freezer/pantry for the next 3 years (not that I would know anything about this) can be quite the task....

Dal is a staple dish in most punjabi homes. This tasty dal of whole green moong is kind of homely dal that we eat on regular basis. It is made with green gram which is also known as whole moong or sabut moong. Unlike restaurant style dals there is no cream, no butter, not even dollops of ghee is involved. It’s an Indian comfort food that we enjoy with roti, paratha or rice....

5 6 Published Jan 06, 2022, Updated Jun 04, 2024 What is Shakshuka? Traditional shakshuka (also spelled shakshouka or chakchouka) is a dish of eggs poached in a sauce of tomatoes, usually with olive oil, peppers, onion and garlic, as well as, spices. From my online research it seems as though the dish originated in North Africa. That said the dish has existed for centuries and is popular in Palestine, Israel, Egypt and other countries in the Middle East as well....

One night when we were on Leg 1 of our trip (visiting my parents), I made this. It was so delicious and refreshing and healthy that I couldn’t wait to make it again. The salsa sounds a tiny bit weird, but it’s delicious–I mean, if you’re not keen on fruit and meat (I do know that’s a “thing”), this might not be your thing, but it’s so super easy and it’s just feel-good food, especially as we get into the summer months....

I love using summer fruits to make flavored syrups and delicious summer drinks. And even better, these syrups are freezable, so you can make a big batch and enjoy the soda syrups all year round! Why I love this recipe Grilling the pineapple adds more flavor! The smokiness and the caramelization of the pineapple deepen the pineapple flavor in the syrup. Adding just a touch of spice makes this syrup even better!...

3.94 36 Published May 29, 2019, Updated Sep 23, 2024 When it comes to grilling, we’re all about the classics… lots of grilled protein like turkey burgers, grilled chicken breast, grilled lemon tofu, grilled shrimp skewers and grilled bbq tempeh, but I love experimenting with grilled fruits and veggies too. We’ve done grilled pineapple, grilled peaches, grilled avocado (so creamy and delicious) and loads of grilled vegetables. Name any veggie and we’ve probably grilled it....

This recipe first appeared on Real Housemoms, where I am a contributor. We are finally to Thursday! This week has seemed unusually slow… maybe because I feel like I’ve been doing a ton of work and it’s still only Thursday. Surely I should be finished with this week by now and yet… Oh well, I’ve got a fun Charlotte food bloggers get together tonight and then tomorrow is Friday. We are really close, so let’s move it right along today!...

Pizza has become somewhat equivalent to indulgence, a convenience that we order when feeling lazy or in no mood to cook. Most of the time this indulgence comes with a tag of junk food. Generalising a particular food without giving a much thought stumps me. But coming back to our whole wheat veggie pizza, there is nothing unhealthy about it. Crust is homemade, and it is real deal made from scratch....

4.33 134 Published Dec 14, 2021, Updated Nov 08, 2022 Staring into the pantry one night I saw the yellow can and finally decided I needed to make a homemade healthy Brunswick stew for him. Origin of Brunswick Stew After a little research I found that Brunswick stew likely originated in Brunswick, Virginia during the 19th century and it was originally made with squirrel meat. I looked at a couple recipes online for inspiration, but ultimately ended up using the ingredient list from a can of Mrs....
