And pair it with a cherry and blackberry Red Wine Granita with sweetened black pepper sour cream for dessert! Pretty much every day of the month so far has been wildly different weather. This past Sunday however we struck gold with glorious weather. The kind of weather that finally convinces you that dreary winter days are firmly behind you. The kind of weather where a picnic date was inevitable. Mr K has been straining under a mountain of work these last few weeks, so I really wanted to make something special of whatever free time he had on the weekend, which wasn’t much to start with....

Sheet pan dinners are a life saver in my house. This southwest sheet pan chicken and veggies is a go-to (plus it has lots of ways you can serve it and all kinds of fun toppings) and of course we love sheet pan chicken fajitas. And in the fall, I also adore this sheet pan harvest chicken and vegetables. And year-round, this sheet pan honey mustard chicken with potatoes and broccoli is a family favorite....

In this post, I am sharing a Kesar Badam shrikhand recipe. Here’s how to make Shrikhand What is Shrikhand It’s a light healthy and mildly sweet dish made with hung curd (hung yogurt) commonly known as chakka in India. To sweeten this, powdered sugar is added. And normally to add texture one can add fruits and dry fruits. Shrikhand is one of the most common dishes served with poori in Gujarati and Maharashtrian weddings....

I seriously cannot fathom that we are just 4 days from Christmas. I mean, yes, I’ve had my son’s preschool Christmas show (nothing cuter than a bunch of under 5-year-olds singing and dancing on stage for an hour!) and I took my daughter to the Nutcracker. And we’ve had multiple Santa visits (another one coming tonight) and made ALL the cookies and done all the decorating. But still. It’s almost Christmas… what the what?...

K and I recently celebrated 15 years since our first date. Since we have both been trapped in such hectic schedules lately, we decided that the best time for celebrations was weekend brunch. And as a self-proclaimed fanatic of brunch, I was absolutely OK with that. I could eat brunch for any meal of the day, and could turn any meal of the day into a brunch special as well....

4.14 48 Published Jul 15, 2020, Updated May 21, 2024 I made these for my dad on Father’s Day and we both LOVED them.

You’ll need unsweetened chocolate for this recipe. Don’t ask me if you can use chocolate chips instead, just like your Momma always tells you- the answer is no. Melt the chopped up chocolate with some real butter. While that’s melting, mix up some white sugar, eggs, and vanilla. While I’m thinking of it- Kate and I both have and love this Le Creuset batter bowl. I bought mine after coveting hers when it would pop up in blog posts....

There are a gazillion recipes for Swiss Buttercream out there and they are all very similar. You can find one from a source you trust and take it from there. There was one linked in the video I provided earlier, and this Martha Stewart recipe is also really popular. The recipe below is a combination of a recipe found on the food network and many others I researched. 1 C egg whites 1 1/2 C granulated sugar 2 C unsalted butter (that’s 4 sticks) at room temperature and cut into chunks....

Kate and I are signing off for the week to enjoy some quality time with our loved ones.

Definitely check back this weekend for some fun sales in our Shop and for SURE sign up for our newsletter because newsletter subscribers will get a heads up and early start on any Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals!...

That’s why I pretty much dropped my jaw to the floor when I found out that Albertsons wanted to pair me up with celebrity event designer, floral expert and party pro Debi Lilly for an afternoon of floral styling in my very own kitchen. It was such a treat to meet Debi; this incredibly talented lady has worked with people like Lady Gaga, Martha Stewart and Oprah. She touches flowers and creates pure magic!...

4 42 Published Jun 18, 2012, Updated Dec 28, 2022 I also experimented with local zucchini I purchased from the farmers market and came up with a new recipe using my spiralizer. Zucchini noodle pasta (a.k.a zoodles) is nothing new as I’ve made that many times before, however this weekend I decided to use zucchini noodles to make a tasty Thai-inspired dinner. The final product reminded me of Pad Thai when served warm....

5 Published Jan 22, 2021, Updated Nov 18, 2021 One of those tried and true routines is menu planning and meal prep. If you aren’t used to it, I understand how overwhelming it is. After regularly meal planning for over 10 years (!) I have one main tip: cook once and use multiple times! What do I mean by that? Let’s take shredded chicken for example. Make it once and then eat it in a variety of ways throughout the week....

7 Published Feb 20, 2016, Updated Mar 21, 2023 It makes sense — they’re pretty, packed with flavorful ingredients, delicious and fun to eat. What’s not to love? I’m not always a trend follower, but bowls I can totally get behind, especially when it comes to smoothies. I’d much rather eat a smoothie with a spoon than sip it through a straw. A few reasons: 1) I like having something to chew....

5 0 Published Feb 14, 2023, Updated Jul 31, 2024 Ground turkey is a staple that we pretty much always have on hand. In general, I prefer to cook with ground turkey over ground beef because it’s a leaner protein and lower in saturated fat. Plus, it has a milder flavor, which makes it such a versatile protein that compliments a variety of meals nicely. I do have one ground beef recipe on EBF (this no bean chili) and a handful of ground chicken recipes most of my ground meat recipes are turkey so I’m putting them all into one post so you can easily find them when you need them....

My Air Fryer gets a lot of use. It’s awesome for cooking veggies - the crispiness! - and for making faux “fried” versions of things. (Especially useful for me since I don’t actually like to fry foods.) And it gets super crunchy coatings on meats. Oh, and it reheats foods amazing well! (Plus, you don’t have to heat up the oven, great for summertime, and it’s so easy to clean!...

Earlier this year I shared my crunchy baked chicken tenders recipe with you. It’s one I’ve worked over the years to perfect and they are a kid favorite. Today, it’s a different twist on that classic. Air Fryer chicken tenders are super easy to make with just 3 ingredients. They are really fast to put together, cook in just 10 minutes and come out so amazingly crunchy on the outside while being tender and flavorful on the inside....

5 46 Published Nov 29, 2023, Updated Sep 23, 2024 I love how simple this recipe is. It doesn’t require any fancy ingredients or difficult steps. And it’s not overly sweet, which is nice. I love having a slice for breakfast alongside a warm cup of coffee, but it can also be enjoyed for dessert and is elegant enough to serve for brunch. I mean how pretty are these photos?...
