This is the best tomatillo salsa verde recipe, thanks to the flavor from charred and roasted tomatillos, poblanos and jalapenos! Thanks to the simple cooking technique of oven roasting or charring (just as I do with my roasted Hatch chile, another favorite of mine!), this spicy roasted tomatillo salsa has so much flavor. Even better, it’s super simple to make. While they can be eaten raw, and you can make raw tomatillo salsa, I find the raw salsa verde to be too tangy....

A lot of people only pull out their slow-cookers in the fall and winter, but it’s actually one of my favorite cooking methods when the temperatures rise and it’s even too miserably hot to venture outside to the bbq to grill. It doesn’t put out a lot of heat in your house, and it’s super low maintenance.

I’m a big fan of my freezer always. It’s completely loaded up and we have a second, smaller fridge and freezer in our garage. The fridge is mainly for drinks and the freezer there is also always packed. Plenty of leftovers, muffins and waffles, ice cream and popsicles, extra meats, we’ve got it all. And if 2020 has taught me anything, it’s that it’s helpful to have some freezer finds stashed away....

Tuna noodle is typically made with wide egg noodles, but I like to use medium sized shell pasta because I like how it sort of holds everything together and the little shells fill up with sauce and veggies and bits of tuna. I make it with bowties sometimes too and those work great as well. Tuna noodle also often includes frozen or canned peas. Have I ever told you I’m not a huge fan of peas?...

Dairy free alternative to mascarpone Mascarpone is like a rich, creamy Italian cream cheese. It’s slightly sweet and is used in Tiramisu, desserts, creamy pasta sauces, a dip for fruit and more. It has a higher fat content than cream cheese. Just like my vegan heavy cream, vegan cream cheese and vegan custard, this is a delicious vegan version of the original. This dairy free mascarpone is a bit different, but it is high in fat, super creamy, rich and slightly sweet....
