After posting our TikTok pasta, I got a lot of requests for TikTok Ramen. I had never heard of it, but after a little digging, I discovered that it was basically amped up ramen noodles with an egg for protein. You could also add all sorts of veggies–stir-fry the ginger and garlic with a little coleslaw mix, carrots, peas, etc. This is a great recipe to teach kids basic kitchen skills–I’ve also included ingredients to make a single serving because it’s one of our favorite quick lunches or dinners....

Founded on September 8, 1565, by Spanish admiral Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, St. Augustine is the oldest continuously occupied European settlement in America, which is pretty amazing. The Spanish influence is everywhere, from amazing restaurants to the stunning architecture. Check out Flagler College– how stunning is that?! St. Augustine has the most charming down town streets full of old, historic landmarks mixed with new, hip additions, like Hyppo, which lots of our readers told us we would love- and we did!...

The reason why chocolate chip cookies are just so popular is that they are so versatile, and you can make them just the way you like....

5 2 Published Jul 04, 2023, Updated Jul 24, 2023 I don’t make buttercream frosting that often, but with that said, everyone needs an easy buttercream recipe in their back pocket.

This is the best Vegan Broccoli Salad recipe! This classic potluck dish is taken up a notch, tossing fresh broccoli, cabbage, dried cranberries, seeds, and nuts in a deliciously creamy cashew salad dressing. Your guests won’t even know it’s vegan! What makes this vegan broccoli salad recipe so special (besides the dressing) is the wide variety of irresistible textures. Sliced almonds add a satisfying crunch, broccoli and cabbage are crisp and refreshing, and dried cranberries give every bite a pop of tartness....

The combination of chocolate + peppermint is simply irresistible, especially around the holidays. These Chocolate Peppermint Cookies are the perfect addition to your Christmas cookie tray, along with Snowball Cookies, Gingerbread Cookies, Sugar Cookies and Raspberry Almond Thumbprints! I adapted this recipe from my Ultimate Vegan Chocolate Cookies, adding a little peppermint extract and crushed candy cane pieces, with a few other minor changes. What we have here is a cookie that tastes like a brownie, with melted chocolate throughout as well as crunchy, sweet candy cane pieces....

I knew when I developed this Easy Vegan Falafel recipe that I would also have to come up with a Tzatziki sauce! Falafel just isn’t the same without it, in my opinion. It’s this creamy, garlicky, dilly sauce that just pairs so well with it. Ingredients Tofu -firm works fine, soft or silken would also work Garlic Lemon juice Fresh dill (dried if you must) -fresh tastes so much better!...

I’ll be in Tulum with one of my best friends doing a ton of yoga, hanging on the beach, exploring and enjoying authentic Mexican food. Just a few more weeks and we’ll be on our way. I literally can not wait....

4.67 61 Published Feb 03, 2021, Updated Aug 13, 2024 Anyhow, last week I learned about the whipped coffee trend happening on TikTok and I knew I had to try it. Apparently it all started with this video which has over 10 million views! I think everyone got excited about making it because we’re all missing our fancy coffee shop lattes and we’ve found this drink to be a fun substitute while being quarantined....

Happy National Donut Day, friends! And, the nerd and editor in me feels compelled to point out that yes, doughnut is the appropriate spelling. But, looks like we can’t be bothered with proper or full spellings these days - oh where did our attention spans go?! - so we’ve got a nice little nickname all picked out. Going with it. To celebrate this lovely little holiday, I’m bringing you some whole wheat cinnamon sugar baked donuts!...

Hi from vacation! We are away for the week with my family, my parents and my brother and his family and I am SO looking forward to a fun week with ALL the summer vibes! And we’re gonna get right to the food! Today’s recipe is yet another alternative burger for you, my zucchini turkey burgers. I just adore turkey burgers and have also shared BBQ turkey burgers and Greek turkey burgers with tzatzikis sauce here on the blog before....

Can I just tell you how funny it is to hear a 2-year-old say paprika? J has been a late talker compared to M, who was very verbal, very early. He’s taking his time and I’m not the least bit concerned, but man, it makes for some hilarity. (And also confusion. Sometimes I have no idea what he’s saying!) Depending on the day, he will say, with enthusiasm, “Preeka!” “Pap-park!...

I am back from a long weekend in Key West with my mother-in-law, sister-in-law and some of the aunts and female cousins on that side of the family. It was a trip we should have taken two years ago, so it’s long overdue - and much anticipated! We had the absolute best time! There was pool time, parasailing, paddle boarding, day drinking, tons of good eats, lots of laughter, late nights and so much quality time together....

How has another week gone by?! Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled it’s Friday. Weekends are always welcome here. Especially ones like this where we don’t have anything we have to do. Just lazy mornings and lots of play time. Still though, we’re chugging full speed ahead into November and I feel like the holiday craziness is going to peek out from behind the next corner and come steam rolling over me....

0 0 Published Dec 18, 2023, Updated Nov 05, 2024 I went with a mix of bell peppers, onion, mushroom, cauliflower and zucchini, but the great thing is that you can customize this recipe based on your preference and what veggies you have on hand. The end result is a medley of vegetables that are deliciously crisp and perfectly caramelized. Serve it with your favorite protein and you’ve got a healthy and delicious dinner in no time!...

4.56 32 Published Jul 29, 2016, Updated Aug 02, 2023 Almond Butter in Chicken Salad?!? I know you’re probably thinking I’ve gone a little crazy with my nut butter obsession, but almond butter in chicken salad works… trust me on this one! Combine almond butter with a little oil, some apple cider vinegar and mustard and you’ve got yourself a creamy nutty dressing to use instead of mayo! Think of how peanut dressing is used in Thai or Vietnamese cuisine… now it doesn’t seem so weird, right?...

There are many different ways to cook Aloo gobi. As I always say as far as most Indian home cooked food is concerned it keeps changing home to home. Gobi aloo is cooked in many different ways. I also have cooked it in many different ways. A change in ingredient here and there makes a lot of difference in terms of taste and texture of the final dish. I some times make aloo gobi with onion and tomato, sometimes just with tomatoes....

There were a lot of leftovers. Like most of an apple pie and most of these mini banana cream pies. I like leftovers to a point, but I like recycled leftovers even better–nothing beats taking something you already have and turning it into something else. I’d had this idea for Apple Pie Ice Cream floating around in my head for awhile, but now that I had almost an entire apple pie, it became a reality....

4.05 0 Published Oct 15, 2021, Updated Aug 13, 2023 One thing to note is that most store-bought yogurt melts are freeze-dried and shelf-stable. This version is essentially just frozen yogurt so they’re not shelf-stable and must be stored in the freezer. When Can Babies Eat Yogurt Melts? Your baby is ready for yogurt melts when they are able to pick up small pieces of food with their fingers and when you are comfortable with your baby eating yogurt....
