Tired of the same old, boring breakfast? These fun little parfaits are simple and oh so delicious, thanks to an old childhood favorite who is making a comeback! ? Yep! Oreo O’s are back, y’all! And they are better than ever. Oh, who am I kidding? Little Olivia, back in São Paulo (Brazil) had no idea Oreo O’s were a thing. She did get to enjoy lots of delicious food growing up, most made by her blog famous grandma, but chocolatey, crunchy, amazingly delicious Oreo O’s were not part of her childhood....

This is one of my favorite recipes for kids school box. This can also be served to toddlers. I have used basmati rice here since we prefer this for the lunch box. However it can also be made with regular non sticky rice like sona masuri or ponni. To make peanut rice, cooked and cooled rice is required. While the rice cooks, I roast the peanuts and other ingredients. Cool them and powder....

FavoritePinShare Rating: 4 stars Difficulty of Recipe: 3 stars Review: I thought these were going to be a lot harder to make but they were pretty simple to assemble. Once they were assembled they only took 10 minutes to cook! I left the onion and mushroom out just because I didn’t want to risk the kids not eating them. These were delicious and we will be making them again. All nutritional information is based on third party calculations and is only an estimate....

This recipe is sponsored by Land O’Lakes. Pumpkin is a celebrity flavor whose tenure starts earlier and earlier each year, and for good reason. Its familiar cozy flavor and natural moisture make it a versatile gem in wholesome baking recipes ranging from Healthy Pumpkin Cookies to Healthy Pumpkin Muffins to Pumpkin Sheet Cake with Greek Yogurt Cream Cheese Frosting. Gingerbread, however, is a late bloomer. It’s not until December that I see recipes like these Gingerbread Muffins and my all-time favorite Chocolate Ginger Cookies pop into popularity....

These are brilliant for freezing – so make a big batch. Serve with sour cream, Restaurant-style salsa or Avocado Sauce for dipping! Quesadillas! You’d have to be made of stone if that image doesn’t make you weak in the knees.😂 That golden brown crispy tortilla. The juicy, seasoned filling. That molten cheese. Quesadillas are a universal language that brings everyone together – vegetarians and meat lovers alike. And in the spirit of that, today I’ve got not one, but THREE filling options to choose from:...

This recipe is made using one of my master sauce recipe, this Peanut Sauce for Stir Fries. Like my All Purpose Stir Fry Sauce, it can be used for any stir fry or noodles using a “formula” (provided in the recipe) and forms the basis for many recipes I’ve shared over the years! Quick Peanut Stir Fry I love being proven wrong over good food. I can usually read a recipe and have a good sense for what it will taste like....

Rajma chawal is a favorite combo in many North Indian households where rajma masala is served with chawal (rice). Some onion & lemon wedges on the side is all you need to enjoy this delicious dish. We Indians eat a lot of legumes regularly as they are the main source of protein and fiber. Skinned lentils, chickpeas, black eyed peas and red kidney beans are some of the most commonly used in curries....

I first made this simple red lentil curry recipe when we moved into our new home and—after two weeks straight of moving-stress-induced takeout dinners—I needed a healthy reset. WELL, here I am again! I’ve spent the last few weeks eating out as often as I’ve eaten in. It’s been delicious and fun and I’m likely to do it again, which is exactly why I need more easy red lentil recipes like this one in my life this week....

Red Potato Salad I want to say that I’d take this potato salad over a classic mayonnaise version any day, and right now I would. But I firmly believe there’s a place in this world for both. So I’ll trumpet this one as a great alternative potato salad for all those times when you want something a little different, with a little wow factor: tasty bacon bits, charry golden pops of sweet corn, all dressed with a mildly zingy cider vinegar dressing....

In addition to the prospect of spending three days looking at this view, I’m especially excited for Memorial Day weekend, because my newly engaged younger sister and her fiancé are coming to visit us in Milwaukee. I can’t wait to show them around the city, kick it on the pontoon boat, and share a few meals on our back porch. An incurable Type-A personality to the core, I have been known to plan friends’ visits weeks in advance, and even write to-do lists of what I need to accomplish each day leading up to the visit to prepare my home and pantry....

Welcome back to the final instalment of Jamaican week! To recap, we started off with Jerk Fish, followed by two fabulous Jamaican sides – coconut rice and peas (beans, actually!) and Jamaican Slaw (adore!). And here today with dessert – rum raisin ice cream, the EASY way!! Worth making: rum raisin ice cream These days you can actually get quite good quality ice cream at the grocery store, though you do pay through the nose for it....

“OMG, that caramel tart!”, my friend exclaimed. “You’ve probably given my whole family diabetes, but OMG!!!!” I grinned, gleefully. “I know, it’s INSANE, isn’t it?” This is probably the most indulgent dessert I know how to make. It’s sinfully decadent. The caramel filling is truly incredible – it’s smooth, creamy, thick and so soft. It’s made using a caramel base of butter plus sugar (for the caramel flavour) which is then combined with condensed milk....

I was all about breakfast sides during my Whole30. Like my crispy breakfast potatoes, which got me through the mornings where I just couldn’t face one more egg! But I did face that egg, because I got to enjoy it with some damn potatoes! And these sautéed green beans with mushrooms and onions - they were usually right there beside the potatoes. I remember seeing a photo of beans and mushrooms together somewhere awhile back and thinking DAMN what an unbeatable combination....

Who doesn’t love dinners that are easy to prep and even easier to clean-up? Meals like these Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas, Sheet Pan Steak and Veggies and Sheet Pan Chicken with Spicy Potatoes are great to have in your back pocket for busy weeknights.
