Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
Strawberry Overnight Oats taste like strawberry shortcake, but are nutritious with fresh strawberries and oats! They’re easy to make, perfect for meal prep, and great for grabbing on-the-go for breakfast or dessert.
People who know me know are always shocked to hear that I went through a hoarding phase as a kid. It’s true though!…
This Banana Coffee Cake Recipe transforms over-ripe bananas into a moist cake with a tender crumb that features a cinnamon-laced brown sugar pecan swirl throughout. I’m not really a shopper, at least not in the sense that most ladies are. I steer clear of the mall unless absolutely necessary (darn Apple Store with its only location in the mall…and double darn Cheesecake Factory with its fabulous cheesecake!). Anyway....
This satisfying Red Lentil Soup Recipe is easy to make, requires minimal ingredients, and has rich, deep flavor and creamy texture. It’s a delicious first course to a larger meal, or it makes a perfect lunch. I wanted to write a post about Ramadan earlier (since it’s already the 16th day!), but time has been flying by. (Update: I wrote and originally published this post on the 16th day of Ramadan in 2009.) Red Lentil Soup is very popular during Ramadan. It’s hearty and delicious, and serves as the perfect tool to whet your appetite....
This Single Serving Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe makes two large cookies that are crispy outside, soft inside, and packed with buttery brown sugar vanilla flavor. This is an easy one-bowl recipe that takes just 20 minutes from start-to-finish. It’s the perfect way to satisfy a chocolate chip cookie craving! Some of my first memories of my mom involve me sitting on the kitchen counter watching her make Chocolate Chip Cookies. Of course I was her “helper”, but that really just involved packing the brown sugar as tightly as I could into a measuring cup and snagging a few chocolate chips as I stirred them in....
This classic Beef Brisket recipe is slow cooked in the oven until it’s tender enough to fall apart. I also give easy instructions on how to make it in a slow cooker so you can prep it in the morning and come home to dinner. It makes a great Sunday supper and it’s kosher for Passover! I grew up with pot roast as part of our regular dinner rotation. It wasn’t until I was in my 30’s that I first had brisket!...
In this Lemony Chickpea and Herb Wheat Berry Salad Recipe, the chewy texture and slightly nutty flavor of wheat berries is accented with tangy lemon, rich olive oil, and zippy herbs. Chickpeas bump up the protein and make it a filling, nutritious lunch or side dish. I’ve always loved hearty salads! Beans, grains, and green vegetables are some of my favorite additions to salads, not only because they’re satisfying and nutrient-dense, but also because they’re sturdy enough to keep well for a few days in the fridge....
These Soft Frosted Sugar Cookies feature pillowy cake-like cookies and a sweet buttercream, and are an easy-to-make copycat recipe of the famous Lofthouse Cookies. You know the clamshell of deliciously puffy Frosted Sugar Cookies at the grocery store? You know the ones I mean, you can find them pre-packaged at Walmart, Target, and your local grocery store. I’m going to show you how to easily make them at home – and they’re even better fresh!...
This Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls recipe is loaded with nutrition and has all the flavor of Stuffed Cabbage Rolls, but comes together in just 30 minutes and has much fewer carbs! For the longest time, cabbage just wasn’t my thing. And to be honest, I think it was mostly because of the smell. Growing up, if coleslaw was a side option I’d opt for anything else....
This Carrot Cake Oatmeal Recipe transforms a decadent dessert into a healthy breakfast. It helps you get your vegetables in early, keeps you satisfied until lunch, and squashes a sweet tooth craving. Dessert for breakfast, anyone? Special days require cake for breakfast, like birthdays or holidays. Other days (you know those cold, dark, or stormy winter days), the allure of cake for breakfast is the only thing that will get you out of bed in the morning....
This easy recipe for Vegetable Beef Guinness Casserole Topped with Champ features a hearty and rich stew-like filling with a buttery mashed potato topping. It’s perfect for St. Paddy’s Day or any day you want real-food comfort food, and the leftovers are even better! Right now you’re probably wondering what the heck Champ is. Champ, my friends, is an Irish thing! Basically, it’s mashed potatoes with scallion and loads of butter. (Because we all know potatoes and butter go together like white on rice. Or, well, like potatoes and butter.)...
