Thai curry refers to a broad category of dishes that consist of meat and/or vegetables cooked in a creamy, vibrantly spiced coconut milk-based sauce, usually served with rice. The color of the curry depends upon the type of curry paste used to make it. Each curry type has its own unique flavor profile.Red curry uses red curry paste and tends to be the spiciest (see Thai Chicken Curry for a recipe), green curry uses green curry paste and is more herbal (I love it in Chickpea Curry), and yellow curry is made with yellow curry paste....

The McDonald’s hot mustard sauce is my go to dip when ordering chicken nuggets. But they discontinued serving it for a while, to my great sorrow. Fortunately, they brought it back. But I am not taking any chances this time. Life is unpredictable, and you never know if they will take this spectacular sauce away again. The solution? Make your own! This recipe is quick, easy, and dare I say it?...

I HAVE YOU COVERED! Over the years, I’ve received dozens and dozens of questions about everything from the brand of pans I buy, to my favorite cookbooks (the gang’s all here), to the dish soap I use. Well, I’m so pleased to say that we’ve finally put EVERYTHING into one place! For those who just want the kitchen basics, I also added a page to my blog that lists out my tried-and-true cookware, bakeware, appliances, and gadgets....

Naan bread pizza is topped and baked like regular pizza, but it swaps naan bread for the pizza crust. It’s an excellent backup option for nights when you need good food fast, but that’s not the only reason to make it. (The same is true of English Muffin Pizza.) Naan pizza intrinsically satisfies, in that special way only the foods closest to our hearts can (pizza; Air Fryer Grilled Cheese; the Ultimate Creamy Mac and Cheese from The Well Plated Cookbook; [insert your favorite comfort food here])....

For me, biscuits are the best way to start the day. And sure, you can easily buy biscuits from your favorite bakery anytime you want, but baking it at home gives you a different level of satisfaction. There’s something so satisfying knowing that you’ve made something so delicious all by yourself! But, you probably think biscuits require a lot of time and effort to make, thereby classifying it as a cooking master level type of dish....

Is it a smoothie, a milkshake, or a juice? Who knows? All I know is that I can’t get enough, and I’m sure you won’t be able to, either. If you’re looking for a unique thirst quencher to cool you down on a hot day, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s get juicing!

As I was writing about grilling bratwurst, I couldn’t help but think about the best way to cook brats when you don’t have a grill or have the ability to smoke your sausage. How do you cook brats without a grill and still get exceptional results? For me the answer is quite simple: you pan fry them. Hence this new post on how to cook brats on the stove. Don’t get me wrong, oven roasting works on bratwurst as well, but there is no way to get the same flavors, the same browning and caramelization in the oven....

Fruit crisps (like this Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp) are the back pocket dessert I turn to all summer long. They’re a right of summer passage, a breeze to bake, and a pure pleasure to eat. I especially adore this recipe (and this Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler) at the height of the peach season. If fresh peaches haven’t reached you yet, fear not, you can use frozen peaches to make this crisp too....

As much as I love to to cook, on most weeknights, I feel fairly zapped creatively. I want to eat something interesting and nourishing and that I know Ben will enjoy too. After 5 p.m., however, it’s as if my brain’s culinary juices have been absorbed by a combination of remembering the lyrics to every ‘90s boyband hit (why is so much of my brain space wasted on this??) and whatever I last saw on Top Chef, neither of which is particularly useful when you are trying to pull together a healthy dinner....

Roasted cauliflower is nutritious, and you can season it any which way. It makes eating vegetables a pleasure! If you’re still waiting to fall in love with (or even tolerate) vegetables, roasting is the #1 way to get more of them in your diet and enjoy it at the same time.

The roll most tender and soft that ever I did know Would not give up the secret to his perfect, fluffy dough Since he wouldn’t give up his reason I had no choice but to eat ‘em Now I’m full with a tale to tell: it’s POTATO! Yes, friends, the humble spud is the secret to the most pillowy, melt-in-your-mouth dinner rolls in the land. Rather than making the rolls taste like potatoes (though I’m not convinced bread that tastes like Roasted Fingerling Potatoes would be a bad thing), the potato serves to soften and tenderize the dough, turning each roll into buttery cushions of roasted garlic carb heaven....

I participated in Mom Blog Tour Winter Fancy Food Show (#MomBlogTourFF) on behalf of Wendy’s Bloggers. I received Brazi products to facilitate my review, but my opinions and the recipe are my own. “‘Tis one thing to be tempted, another thing to fall.” This quote, although written by Shakespeare, is not from Romeo and Juliet. But it really applies to my relationship with these fun Romeo and Juliet Bites. Why?...

I should let you know that it’s here to be next week’s easy dinner too. The thing is, once you realize that you can cook a recipe this tasty and fresh that also happens to leave you with only one pan to wash at the end, you’ll find yourself wanting to cook that recipe with startling frequency. We are due for a sheet pan chicken recipe. It’s been four years since I posted this Maple Dijon Chicken and Vegetables (and oldie but a goodie!...

This recipe will forever transport me back to my multiweek journey through Thailand and Vietnam with Ben. It was the trip of a lifetime (which you can read more about here). Thailand had always been a country on my bucket list. It’s a place of gorgeous scenery, warm hospitality, and, of course, epic food (this Vegetarian Pad Thai is another dish inspired by my travels). Pad Thai is a recipe that saved us many times on our travels (being a tourist really works up an appetite), and this healthy shrimp pad Thai recipe has saved dinnertime on more than one occasion stateside....
