Roasted garlic adds SO much flavor and elevates your dishes, and it’s the simplest way to make garlic taste even better! Roasted garlic is the process of “caramelizing” the garlic with slow, steady heat until the garlic bulbs become soft, creamy, and turn a beautiful golden brown in color. Technically this occurs due to the Maillard reaction, and not exactly caramelization, but I’m not going to get into the science of the Maillard reaction here....
0 0 Published Nov 26, 2021, Updated Jan 30, 2024 Why Toast Coconut Similar to why you toast nuts, toasting coconut adds a robust, nutty flavor to plain coconut and can add great texture and flavor to a variety of recipes. It’s super simple to do and the end result is 100% worth the extra step! Should I Use Sweetened or Unsweetened Coconut? Either works! I typically reach for unsweetened coconut because I like to control the amount of sugar a particular recipe has but you can toast either....
If you like the chocolate and hazelnut flavor combo (think Nutella), you’ll find these cookies absolutely addictive! I’ve never met anyone who didn’t love a good cookie.

Ingredient Notes Use good ingredients for Caprese Salad! Quality is important when preparing dishes with only a few ingredients. Tomatoes – Use ripe, plump tomatoes. They should be vibrant in color and smell like tomatoes! If you’re buying tomatoes at the store, I like using the tomatoes on the vine. Tomatoes with a similar circumference to your Mozzarella cheese works nicely in a stacked Caprese Salad. If you’re using a variety of tomatoes in different shapes and sizes, continue reading about my side dish caprese salad!...
36 Published Sep 19, 2016, Updated May 03, 2024 One of the easiest ways to eat healthier is to cook and eat more meals at home. It’s certainly not impossible to eat healthy when dining out, but restaurant meals are usually larger and higher in calories, sugar and salt. Cooking at home also puts you in control of what goes into the food, which is key. And you don’t need to be a mastermind chef or loving being in the kitchen to cook at home....
Today’s recipe for mini turkey meatloaves is a fun variation on my classic turkey meatloaf recipe that I’ve made for years. I wanted that same hearty, savory, well-seasoned meatloaf vibe in an individual portion size. And I definitely wanted to make sure it was every bit as moist as the original. No dense, dried out meatloaf here please! And I’m happy to report we have found success with today’s recipe, my friends!...
If you didn’t know, we have a whole section of our blog dedicated to rice krispie treats because we love them so much. St. Patrick’s Day is this weekend and honestly when I think about green- my mind instantly goes to mint. I realize this has nothing to do with Ireland but hey, it’s green and you get points for that. Even with all of the amazing special edition Oreos, Mint Oreos will always be my true love....
3.9 25 Published Jun 28, 2021, Updated May 28, 2024 A Bean Burger That Holds Together The most exciting part (for me at least) is that these black bean burgers holds together really well. Making a flavorful bean burger is easy — it’s the texture that’s the hard part, especially when you’re trying to meet specific dietary needs. These burgers have no egg or bread crumbs so they’re vegan and gluten-free, yet the patties stay together perfectly....

This American-style Goulash is a quick and easy one-pan dinner with ground beef and elbow macaroni in a richly flavored cheesy tomato sauce....

Well, it turns out she isn’t entirely alone and that there are lots of people who don’t like chocolate and peppermint. So. Ladies and gentlemen of the anti chocomint persuasion, today’s recipe is for you. And really, if you like chocolate and peppermint, this can also be for you (although if you’re looking for the chocolate version of these cookies, look no further than here.) I love my chocolate and peppermint, but I also really, really love these cookies; they’re definitely a fun take on holiday flavors and a little bit different from what you usually find in the Christmas cookie tins....
It’s spicy pork Ramen noodles topped with a Furikake seasoned soft boiled egg that will gourmet up your Ramen noodles effortlessly! If you enjoy pork ramen, you will absolutely love this dish too. If there ever were such a thing called Cookbooks (Cookbookholics?) Anonymous, I should be at the front of the line waiting to sign up. I got so many, I’ve long since lost count. There are a few gathering dust on a shelf, but most have been dogeared to the spine....
Want to take brunch or special weekend breakfasts to the next level? This Potato Leek Vegan Frittata will do the trick! Even easier to make than a traditional frittata, it features cooked vegetables and a blended tofu filling that looks and tastes like real eggs. An eggless frittata for breakfast or brunch is always impressive, just like a vegan quiche, but the best part is that there’s no need to make a pie crust beforehand....

I posted on Facebook last week that I woke up with a recipe idea in my head and couldn’t do anything productive, like pack my completely not-packed house that I’m supposed to be moving in less than 2 weeks, until I made it. My favorite thing in the world is when I have a recipe idea that I can’t stop thinking about and when I make it, it turns out as good as I imagined it....
5 14 Published Oct 04, 2016, Updated Jul 24, 2023 So, about these little pumpkin spice cereal squares… they are a take on the superfood cereal squares I posted last month. In that post I mentioned that I wanted to try them with the new Pumpkin Spice Cheerios and it didn’t take long for that to happen. The recipe is very similar to the original just with a deeper orange hue and that pumpkin spice flavor we all love....
These little cookies are the most delicious holiday treat, and they must be made at least once every year! They are so vibrant, thanks to the raspberry center, and have that perfect shortbread cookie crunch in every bite. Made with very few ingredients, this is about as simple as a cookie recipe gets. I adapted these raspberry almond thumbprints from my vegan shortbread cookies, by adding a little almond extract, making an indentation and filling with raspberry jam....
Roasting is by far my favorite way to prepare sweet potatoes. This recipe takes it one step further, when we toss those roasted taters in a bright, fresh, herby sauce. This is the basic chimichurri recipe I shared in my Pork Tenderloin Post, here. I’m just cutting down here. We start with a mix of flat leaf Italian parsley, oregano, and cilantro. The fresh flavors create a really beautiful flavor combination....
