FavoritePinShare Perfect moist and puffy cookies with fresh blueberries bursting inside. These cookies are a mix between a blueberry muffin and a soft and chewy cookie. Drizzled in a lemon glaze, these will become a new favorite! I am celebrating a pretty special occasion today with some of my favorite blog friends. Our friend over at Something Swanky is having a boy! So we are throwing her a virtual baby shower to celebrate....
Okay, let me start by saying this is not your every day Olivia’s Cuisine post. True, I do like to post food porn style treats, but I think this time I might have gone a little too far. ? Well, what happened was: I was trying to explain to my husband, Tim, that lots of burger places in Brazil sell a burger call X-Tudo (hereby called “Epic Burger”) that is pilled insanely high with everything (hence the “tudo”) you can thing of....
From start to finish, broiled pork chops is one of the easiest and tastiest pork chop recipes there is. Pork chops are usually best when cooked fast over high heat. This recipe is exactly that: a quick broil under high heat that takes just a few minutes per chop side, resulting in tender and very juicy meat. But that’s just a small part of it. What really makes these broiled pork chops really is the homemade Creole seasoning that adds a ton of flavor and broiling on a cast iron pan or a griddle....
My wife loves cooking shrimp, this is one of her favorite recipes. Once you try it, you’ll know what I mean. Quick, high-heat cooking serves shrimp best. It gives it the most flavor without overcooking it. That’s why grilled or pan-seared shrimp is so flavorful. Broiling is another great cooking method for shrimp, though, unfortunately, it’s quite underutilized. We like serving this shrimp as an appetizer or as party finger food....
FavoritePinShare Brown Butter Spicy Garlic Shrimp is an incredibly easy meal that is ready in under 10 minutes! The brown butter flavor is so luxurious over the spicy garlic shrimp. It will wow your family! Shrimp recipes are incredibly popular on the site! You also have to make this Sticky Honey Garlic Shrimp, Creamy Tuscan Garlic Shrimp, or this 15 minute Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry! Brown Butter Spicy Garlic Shrimp My husband is the shrimp LOVER in the family....
It tastes like a brownie, in cookie form – PLUS peanut butter frosting! I don’t bake much because I am more of a savoury person than a sweet person. So most sweet things I make are “fast and easy” type treats. But this….this is worth every second of effort. It is crazy indulgent and ridiculously scrumptious. The brownie cookie is just like a brownie in both texture and taste. The surface of the cookie has the familiar thin crinkly layer....
Picture a friend’s childhood birthday party, or maybe yours. There are colorful presents, bundles of balloons, fun games, and everyone’s favorite part of the party: a two-layer cake with a moist, golden crumb inside and a fudgy chocolate frosting on the outside. It’s crowned with a collection of birthday candles. You and your friends can’t wait to dig in. Fast forward to another party: it’s the wedding of someone you know....
Cabbage Patties Vada are traditional spiced lentil fritters or patties made often in the Indian homes and restaurants. There are many different kinds of vada popular among the Indian food lovers. The South Indian Medu vada, Masala vada and Dahi vada are some popular kinds. Cabbage vada is not so popular but you will find a lot of South Indian home cooks making these as a way to use up the extra cabbage....
I tried grilled cauliflower steaks for the first time last summer, and they’ve become one of my favorite sides. They’re super quick and easy to prep.The grilling process is almost entirely hands-free. PLUS leftovers reheat nicely the next day. Like its cousin roasted cauliflower (as in this Roasted Cauliflower and Curry Roasted Cauliflower Salad with Chickpeas and Sweet Potatoes), grilled cauliflower steak is dramatically different from cauliflower in its raw form....
When a dinner is this easy and healthy. When it hits every food group in a single Pyrex. When it includes the most crowd-pleasing trifecta of flavors, perhaps ever (what is more universally accepted as delicious than chicken, bacon, and ranch?), well… Said casserole recipe is destined become a staple in your dinner rotation. This recipe is a spin on one of my most tried-and-true healthy casserole recipes, my Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole....
Crowd-pleasing dishes like chicken broccoli rice casserole (and its cousins, Broccoli Rice Casserole, Broccoli Quinoa Casserole, and Cheesy Corn Quinoa Casserole with Chicken) were a fixture at our table growing up. My mom was the casserole QUEEN. She wore a crown of Pyrex and carried a scepter of nonstick baking spray. Not only could she make a casserole from scratch, but she could transform any (and I mean any) leftover in our home into a creamy, cheesy casserole of sorts....
They go perfectly well even with a cup of tea as a evening snack. These can also be used as patties to make chicken burger or can be stuffed in wraps. For this chicken cutlet recipe, I have used boneless chicken breasts but bone-in chicken can also be used. I make cutlet using this keema which I shared sometime ago. Sharing another method today which taste very different from the earlier one....
Baked homemade tortilla chips smothered in a smoky salsa chicken, hearty beans, and all the best fixin’s, this shredded chicken nacho recipe does double duty as either a tasty appetizer or satisfying entrée. The prep work for these easy nachos is all of 10 minutes.The shredded chicken is fall-apart tender.The flavor of the salsa with the spices is outstanding. I could not stop “quality testing” the chicken the whole time I was shredding it....
I love stir fried noodle recipes because they’re a complete meal – no need to make a separate side of rice. My favourites in heavy rotation include Chicken Rice Noodles, Chicken Vegetable Ramen Noodles, Pad See Ew and Chow Mein! Chinese Beef and Broccoli Noodles This is the stir fried noodles version of everybody’s favourite Chinese Beef and Broccoli. It’s a firm takeout favourite, especially in the States. I’ve been to China and Hong Kong several times and I can honestly say I do not recall ever seeing it on a menu, and I remember reading somewhere that broccoli is actually quite expensive in China....
Have you ever had the barbacoa beef at Chipotle? Their chicken is delicious, the fajita veggies are mouth-watering, but the Chipotle barbacoa? I’d say it’s the best of all (especially if you spring for the guacamole). If you’ve ever had it, you know. I bet you’ve wondered if it’s possible to cook slow cooker barbacoa meat at home, too. Good news: This beef barbacoa recipe is incredibly easy (just as easy as making pulled pork or fall-off-the-bone Instant Pot beef short ribs), and made with just ten common ingredients....
In anticipation of opening day, students camped out on the sidewalk overnight, the true enthusiasts wrapping themselves in aluminum foil to match the chain’s signature burrito packaging. Since that moment when I sunk my teeth into my very first Chipotle chicken burrito—or rather since that moment when I took a really big bite of the top third because THEY ARE SO BIG—I’ve been a Chipotle believer. Now that I’m older and wiser, however, I much prefer the burrito bowl....
FavoritePinShare Hey everyone! Chelsea back from Chelsea’s Messy Apron. I’ve got a fun dessert/appetizer for your New Year’s Eve celebrations! This dessert isn’t completely original, but a favorite from growing up. My mom used to make these for us all the time and I LOVE them — sweet and salty at it’s best. Basically you sandwich a chocolate-caramel candy in between two ritz crackers and dip it either halfway or completely in melted chocolate....
When you want dessert, but also want to stay keto and don’t feel like baking? Keto buckeyes to the rescue! These chocolate peanut butter fat bombs are made with nutritious peanut butter and peanut flour, making it healthy enough for a snack, but the peanut butter and chocolate flavors make it feel like dessert. These two flavors pair well in everything from smoothies to pies, so here’s another recipe you’ll want to add to your collection....
Plus, they make the whole house smell heavenly. Soft, chewy cinnamon rolls topped with a cream cheese icing that melts in your mouth. Who can say no to an ooey-gooey Cinnabon roll? The thought of soft, sweet buns covered in a thick, sticky cinnamon and sugar sauce is truly irresistible. I remember going to the mall when I was young and being tantalized by the delicious smells pouring out of the Cinnabon shop....
These beans have a distinct flavor & taste which does not come close to any other veggie. Cluster beans are harder than the other kind of green beans varieties like french beans or broad beans. So these are mostly precooked and then added to the masala. In this post I have shared my Mom’s Andhra style goruchikkudu recipe. I have also shared few other ways we cook this veggie. This recipe is on the spicier side and uses ginger garlic and garam masala....
