It cooks faster, has crispy golden buttery skin, and your turkey is going to be so amazing it’s going to be remembered for years to come!!! What you need to know 10 years ago, dry brining was still relatively unknown but these days it’s a pretty broadly known fact that dry brining yields superior results to wet brining as well as being far more practical. Because I want to arm you with everything you need to make the ultimate perfect roast turkey, this is a fairly long post, covering off on (hopefully!...

This cauliflower stuffing is a must-have at any Thanksgiving or Christmas gathering! This vegan and keto stuffing uses simple ingredients, but cooks up into an ultra savory dish that even traditional stuffing lovers will appreciate — all with no bread whatsoever (not even keto bread!). This keto dressing for Thanksgiving makes a delicious holiday side dish next to spatchcock turkey, keto gravy, and sugar-free pecan pie, but no need to limit it to one meal a year… it also makes a perfect pairing with comforting main dishes like keto pot roast....

These easy keto chicken nuggets are a delicious and simple take on a childhood classic, complete with easy seasoning and breading! I’ll show you how to make low carb almond flour chicken nuggets with just 5 ingredients — great for kids and grownups. Serve ’em with keto French fries for a classic meal (and don’t expect leftovers!). I created these low carb chicken nuggets after vacationing while I was pregnant....

Summertime means quick and easy keto desserts, but this easy keto chocolate mousse recipe is one you’ll want to make all year long. This sugar-free low carb mousse has just 1.6 grams net carbs per serving, making it a delicious and simple way to satisfy those chocolate cravings, in a healthy and low carb way! This is one of my favorite mascarpone recipes and the texture is light and fluffy....

Whether you’re looking for easier portion control or just prefer your keto desserts fun-sized, this keto mini cheesecake recipe is the perfect little treat! It has everything you love in the full sized version (based on the popular large keto cheesecake!)… but made a little smaller for easier handling. These small keto cheesecakes still have the same buttery crust and creamy filling, all in a handheld package. Since they are made in a regular muffin tin (not a mini one) and do have a crust, they are larger and more filling than my crustless cheesecake fat bombs, which are more of a bite-sized treat....

The original idea for this low carb keto sushi without rice came from a friend of mine. Her entire family is gluten-free and low carb, plus she’s an incredible cook, and she allowed me to share it with all of you! But what about regular sushi: is sushi keto friendly, or worth avoiding altogether? Let’s talk about carbs in sushi and keto friendly sushi options to enjoy at home or when dining out....

I make these lauki paratha very often since my kids’ are fussy towards eating bottle gourd in other forms. Sometimes I also add greens like methi, palak or dill leaves whatever I have. Recently I made these with lauki & methi leaves so thought of updating the post with new pictures. Do try this combo if you have fussy kids at home. I am sure they will love these as much as mine....

Lemon and chicken are just a match made in heaven, and it’s clear that I’m not the only one who feels that way. Anytime I share recipes that involve lemon and chicken (like Baked Lemon Chicken, Chicken Piccata, or Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup), readers just seem to eat them up… figuratively and literally. However, this creamy lemon butter chicken recipe may just be the best of the bunch: Made in under an hour in only ONE pan (like this Skillet Tomato Chicken), it’s an easy lemon butter chicken that is simple to prep, easy to cook, and a breeze to clean up....

Although I’m not a vegan or vegetarian, I have a deep love and appreciation for vegetables. It’s easy for me to prepare them at home—you’ll find a big pan of simply roasted mushrooms, broccoli, or Brussels sprouts in our oven almost every night of the week—but when I go out, I’m often disappointed by how much of an afterthought the vegetables seem. Even when restaurants do have a decent selection of vegetables, they are usually deep fried, slathered in cream, or similarly disguised via butter and cheese....

Are you ready for some keto snack recipes?! Because I have a feeling that this low carb gluten-free keto soft pretzels recipe is about to become your new favorite. Breads and baked goods are always the foods that I missed when going low carb. They are also the foods that are the most difficult to recreate in a low carb/keto way. But this gluten free soft pretzel recipe? You’ll forget you had anything to miss....

You’re going to need to add this keto buffalo chicken meatballs recipe into your meatball repertoire ASAP! It’s got all of the buffalo chicken flavors you adore, wrapped up into easy low carb buffalo chicken meatballs. These buffalo meatballs have all the meaty flavor of keto sausage balls with a zesty kick — plus they are easy, requiring just 6 ingredients and NO flour or breadcrumbs at all! They make a perfect appetizer, or pair them with some roasted veggies for an easy and healthy dinner....

I first tried lychee martini only about a year ago. Our boss at work took us out for drinks one night to a bar famous for its, you guessed it, lychee martini, a beautiful, delicate, and exotic cocktail that features the sweet lychee fruit. Isn’t it, like, a ‘girly’ drink? you may ask. I guess it depends on who you ask. Personally, I don’t like the taste of alcohol that much and prefer sweeter drinks....

FavoritePinShare Utterly perfect fork tender, melt in your mouth pot roast, with delicate potatoes, sweet carrots, sits in a perfectly seasoned broth. This recipe is super simple but will make you feel like you’ve spent all day cooking. Make a balanced meal with a nice fresh garden salad and some homemade rolls. Perfect Soft and Buttery Rolls or Copycat Texas Roadhouse Rolls should do the trick. Melt in Your Mouth Pot Roast Not only is this melt in your mouth Pot Roast a quintessential Sunday meal, it’s also perfect for company, or a special occasion because it’s just so easy....

I love chorizos for breakfast, like in Chorizo Baked Beans on Toast and Chorizo Breakfast Hash with Bacon and Smashed Potato. The big flavour punch is a wake up call! I had to share this recipe today because I got an email from a reader yesterday who made me laugh with this message: “….my confession… I have a slight obsession with Chorizo… Best. Thing. Ever… Do you have any scrumptious recipes involving this godlike substance?...

FavoritePinShare I hope you all had an enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday! We had a great time at my Grandma’s and spending time with family. It was nice to sit and relax this weekend. But I am pretty excited to get started with the Christmas baking and recipes. Especially recipes with mint! I wanted to start it off right with this pretty amazing mint cheesecake bars. I absolutely love my recipe here for Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Bars....

Make it for breakfast or brunch – or anytime! Monte Cristo Sandwich I shared this recipe as a way to use up leftover homemade Glazed Ham, because this is a recipe that’s worthy of leftover baked ham! Though having said that, I make this year round using ordinary deli ham. It’s a great recipe to turn the ordinary into an extraordinary breakfast, lunch or even dinner – because nobody gets excited over a Ham and Cheese Sandwich....

Mushroom Gravy If there’s one thing that cooking full-time for a living has taught me, it’s that an arsenal of great sauces is one of the most useful things you arm yourself with in the kitchen. It can turn the mundane into extraordinary. Take Poached Chicken (meh!) … paired with Ginger Shallot Sauce (now you’re talking! SO GOOD!). It’s also an easy way to replicate a real fine dining experience at home....

FavoritePinShare A classic Southern condiment, this Nashville hot sauce is the best for coating chicken in flavorful spice! It mixes up with just a few simple ingredients. You’re going to love having it on hand! You probably know by now that I LOVE making sauces and seasonings from scratch. Not only do they taste better, but they’re free of preservatives and artificial flavoring! You’ve got to try this homemade buffalo sauce!...
