We are inching closer and closer to the long holiday weekend and I am OH SO READY! We don’t have any big plans - hopefully head to the pool a couple of days, grill out a lot, maybe get together with some neighbor friends, have a movie night with the kiddos, etc. - but I just love that a long weekend is stretched out in front of me. Today we continue to celebrate my undying love for burgers....
5 12 Published Jul 20, 2022, Updated Jan 21, 2024 They’re creamy, delicious and the perfect recipe to involve your kids in. Plus, they’re so easy to make and totally customizable. The hardest part is waiting for them to harden up in the freezer. Trust me when I say that you’ll want to keep a batch or two or these yogurt pops stocked in the freezer all summer long!...
4.41 23 Published Nov 02, 2021, Updated Nov 10, 2024 This bright side dish is so easy and incredibly flavorful. The beans are quickly cooked so they’re still crisp and fresh tasting but have a nice coating of olive oil, light sweetness from the caramelized shallots and a pop of flavor from the fresh parsley. I honestly liked these beans so much I ate the whole pound in two days without sharing....
T-1 day until Thanksgiving - are you ready?! My mom and I are doing our big grocery run together this morning, then we’ll prep some things ahead today and get our game plan ready for tomorrow. Feeling good. But on to today’s recipe! Green beans with mustard butter sauce is one of those easy go-to side dishes when you need something tasty but don’t want to fuss over another part of your dinner....
3.95 20 Published Jan 08, 2020, Updated Sep 16, 2021 Tofu Stir-Fry Shortcuts As written, the recipe is super quick, but if you’re super short on time, there are a few corners you can cut. One shortcut I always recommend is buying pre-prepped and cut vegetables. They’re just as nutritious as the whole, un-prepped versions.The second shortcut is to buy a pre-made teriyaki sauce. I love my homemade teriyaki, but if you’re in a pinch, don’t feel bad about purchasing store-bought....
This post is sponsored by Bob’s Red Mill. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. My baby girl is turning 8 tomorrow. (My son is 5 but she’s still my baby girl. Always will be. Sorry kiddo!) I just don’t know how that’s happened and at the same time, I am excited for the year to come. I won’t bore you with the details, but it’s been a rough year for her....
Welcome back to another batch cooking round of homemade baby food. Today we’re making pureed sweet potatoes, brown rice, chicken, pears and banana - all great staples and good ones to introduce early. (Here’s my baby food introduction schedule for what solid foods to introduce when.) And don’t miss round 1 with homemade baby food peas, green beans, applesauce, butternut squash and oatmeal. Today’s round takes just a tiny bit longer since we have to cook the sweet potatoes and the chicken, but I promise it’s just as easy and I’ll walk you through it step by step....
4.35 351 Published May 08, 2021, Updated Jun 27, 2024 I actually just found out myself a few weeks ago. I got inspired after reading the ingredient list on a few natural treats that I bought for Olive (our 6 pound Yorkshire Terrier) and decided it couldn’t be that hard to make them myself. And it’s not at all! I’m actually worried I might be quickly becoming a crazy dog lady because I’ve already made THREE batches!...
I am lazy. Committing to making my own bread and not buying it at the store gives me hives. Even though homemade whole wheat bread tastes better than what you’d find at your average grocery store, I’ve had a hard time finding a recipe where the taste made it worth eschewing my laziness or risking commitment-induced hives. When I lived in Utah, it was easy to find ingredients to make homemade whole wheat bread....
The fab thing about roasting garlic is that it’s flexible. Chances are you use your oven at least once a week, right? Tossing a ball of foil-wrapped garlic in there won’t take up any more space than you already have available and you’re using your oven anyway- why not get something extra out of it?! You can roast it anywhere between 300-400 degrees, so if you’re cooking a casserole, or a roast, or whatever, just toss it in there....

5 10 Published May 18, 2022, Updated Jul 24, 2023 Recently, I was craving a big Italian salad and realized that I’ve never actually shared a recipe here on EBF, so I’m finally doing it! You’ll find a lot of the classic Italian salad ingredients in this recipe (like romaine lettuce, tomatoes, mozzarella, peperoncini and onion), but I decided to add a few new ingredients like green cabbage for some added crunch and nutrients and chickpeas for a protein boost!...

about the ingredients I literally keep ALL these ingredients in my house at any given time just in case the mood strikes us. My oldest son said that his perfect day would involve these noodles. This is probably THE favorite recipe I have in my arsenal right now. Sometimes I make it with sirloin and sometimes I make it with ground beef. But no matter what, when my kids hear this is what’s for dinner, the whole mood in the house changes....
While the basic recipe is fantastic, we both wanted to try adding a punch of lemon to the second attempt, and we liked that even better. I added lemon zest right into my batter, which added another layer of flavor here that we really loved. We happened to have fresh berries, but you can definitely use frozen. If you use frozen, just don’t thaw them first! The batter is nice and thick,...
So Easter is happening. On Sunday. If you haven’t figured out what sweet treat you’re serving with Easter dinner (besides, you know, the Starburst jellybeans and the Cadbury chocolate eggs and the Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs…need I go on? Easter pretty much has the corner on the best holiday candy), I’m here to help you out. This cake is kind of crazy. It has 2 ½ sticks of butter. 20 tablespoons....
Ingredient Notes Orzo – If you’ve never cooked with Orzo before, it’s a pasta that you can find in the regular pasta aisle. It usually comes in a small box, or you can buy it in bulk in a tub sometimes. The actual pasta pieces look like large grains of rice. Lemon Juice and Lemon Rind – Go with fresh lemon here, not jarred juice or dehydrated zest. The only product I recommend in place of fresh lemon, is True Lemon, which is crystallized fresh lemon and makes an excellent substitute!...
So when I was growing up, my dad would always make scones for our neighborhood 4th of July party and for super special occasions. And by scones, I mean fried pieces of sweet bread dough that we would douse in honey or dust with powdered sugar. One night when I was in middle school, it was pronounced that we had scones in the house and I was simultaneously puzzled and thrilled because scones were strictly a holidays-only affair....
The great thing about this recipe is that it’s made from simple ingredients that you probably already have at home. It’s also made in under 10 minutes so if you keep this stuff around it’s great for last-minute meals. And if you really don’t care TOO much about calories, go ahead and make it with whole milk. It’s still going to be waaay lighter than using cream, and it tastes extra delicious....
