I have partnered with La Terra Fina on this post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. Happy new week! Did you have a fun weekend? We did lots of playing outside - bikes and basketball and chalk and walks. It’s been a little ridiculously warm for February here in N.C., but it sure is nice to have sunny days and fresh air! ☀️ We also had M’s last basketball game of the season and it’s been amazing to watch her skills and confidence develop....

It’s made with whole food ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry. Almond Flour Pancake Ingredients Here’s the full list of everything you need to make these pancakes:...

With such turbulent and anxious times around us and in the world rather than hoarding and panic buying, I am sharing a list of best Indian foods to stock up for coronavirus quarantine or if want to minimise your outings and practice social distancing. Either way, this grocery list might help you to stock up on grocery essentials for month so that you do not go on a wild shopping spree and end up with groceries and items that you may never use....

However. I get it. I also get the party aspect of things. And since I am all for hanging out with friends and eating yummy food, I happily go along with the football game watching. This recipe has quickly become a favorite among my friends here in Louisiana, so much so that I’ve been asked to make it twice within the last week (and asked for the recipe more times than I can count)....

3.89 25 Published Mar 01, 2018, Updated May 20, 2024 Hemp has a mild, nutty flavor that doesn’t compete with other flavors, allowing the rest of the ingredients to shine! This is a basic recipe, but just like with overnight oats and chia pudding, the variations are endless. I’ll be sharing more of my favorite grain-free overnight “oat” combinations soon but in the meantime, get creative! I want to see what flavor combinations you come up with — be sure to tag me on social media!...

To make a simple easy vegetarian dinner, delicious peas and potatoes are cooked in olive oil. These are seasoned with sweet onions, fresh dill and parsley. All of the veggies are slowly simmered in the savoury sauce. When you make it top it with salty Greek feta and, of course, some bread to soak up all of the delectable juices. It may be eaten warm or at room temperature, and the leftovers are much better!...

One of my favorite ways to eat lamb is in a gyro, so I wanted to replicate those flavors. However, I don’t have a spit, nor do I really need a large chunk of seasoned lamb from which to slice sandwich shavings. I also wanted to make my gyro a little lighter, so I worked on a recipe for a gyro burger. Ingredient Notes Lamb – I will be the first to admit that I rarely cook with lamb....

4.34 112 Published Sep 04, 2019, Updated Aug 19, 2023 I decided to try my hand at making homemade baked donuts. And of course, in true EBF fashion, I worked to make them a bit healthier using real food ingredients like whole wheat pastry flour, applesauce, coconut sugar, coconut oil and Greek yogurt. A major upgrade from the traditional recipe that uses melted butter and brown sugar. How to Make Donuts at Home It can also be handy to have a large icing piping tip for adding the donut batter into the pan, but it’s not 100% necessary....

Here we are at Friday, but I’m a little less excited than usual. We’re potty training this weekend. (If that sounds familiar, yes, we attempted this several months ago. J wasn’t ready.) But he’s almost 3 now and it’s time. So bye-bye diapers, hello big boy underwear. I have a feeling there will be lots of laundry in my future. But on to happier thoughts. Like chocolate and peanut butter!...

3.91 86 Published May 17, 2019, Updated Jun 29, 2024 Swapping Mayo for a Balsamic Dressing My mom’s traditional recipe calls for Miracle Whip… which isn’t exactly EBF friendly so I skipped it and used an olive oil-based balsamic dressing with fresh basil. Other than that the salad ingredients are all the same. And Mom will be happy to know that I left the 1/2 teaspoon of sugar in the recipe....

I use pumpkin ALL year long. It’s not a fall thing in our house. I believe in seasonality, sure, but I also believe in pumpkin. And I believe I can keep my pantry stocked with cans of it so I’m never without. I often find myself using pumpkin for oatmeal jars or pumpkin muffins – weekly staples for my kids – only to end up with some extra. I cannot bring myself to throw away pumpkin, so I keep a list of all the things I have made and would like to make with pumpkin, along with how much each recipe calls for — 1 cup, ½ cup, etc....

I promised some of you on Facebook a cool science trick to impress the kiddos today, but I’m changing my mind after making a batch of fresh potato chips and realizing while munching that I’ve never written about them here. And that’s a crying shame. I’ve mentioned before that I don’t fry a lot at home; it’s a once-and-a-while kind of thing at our house, so when we do it’s especially good....

I shared this recipe with our meal plan members last summer for Father’s day so I actually don’t have any process pictures, but you can sit here and stare at that gorgeous piece of finished meat. This recipe is for 1 large steak, but keep in mind that a large ribeye or t-bone can easily serve 2-3 people, or alternately, you could cook a couple smaller steaks in the same pan....

Our third runner up was Cary Wood, who suggested a creamy caramel swirl and chunks of buttery shortbread, with a sprinkling of flaky sea salt. To make this bark, I simply melted a few soft caramels in the microwave until they were smooth. After spreading out the melted chocolate, I drizzled on the caramel and then used a knife to swirl it around a bit. It worked beautifully! Our next runner up was an out-of-the-box idea from Claire Roach....

This doesn’t take much longer than making normal rice, but first you’ll saute some diced onion in olive oil. The two spices we’re putting in here are turmeric and curry powder. You’ll add those right to the pot with the onion and stir them around for a bit. Both the heat and the oil will enhance the flavor and bring out all the goodness in those spices. Then you can add broth and rice right to the pan and finish cooking just as usual....
