With Valentine’s Day coming up, I immediately thought about making red velvet cookies, inspired by the classic red velvet cake. The bright cheery red color is appropriate for the holiday but requires less effort than the traditional layered red velvet cake or cupcakes. These are the sort of treats you can whip up on a weeknight and share with your friends, loved ones, and co-workers. I think of them as a sort of no-pressure Valentine’s treat for a holiday that can seem loaded with pressure to perform....
The method reminds me of sous vide, but you don’t need any fancy equipment, just plastic wrap and a big pot of hot water. You take a strip of boneless, skinless chicken breast, season it, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and then drop it in hot water. That’s it. So easy. The result is tender, moist, perfectly cooked chicken, with no added fat. How To Poach Chicken The key to the success of this technique is to never put the rolled-up chicken into boiling water; boiling water is too hot and will overcook the meat....
Can an overcooked goose become livery? You bet. Are they fatty? Oh yes. But remember that a goose is not a turkey, just as a duck is not a chicken. You don’t cook them the same way. Why You Can Serve Goose Breast Medium-Rare Both ducks and geese are red meat birds—meaning the breasts of both need to be served medium-rare. That’s pink, or 140-150°F for those of you with thermometers....
It’s easy to make this 40-minute recipe when you use pre-cubed squash, which is widely available in supermarkets. Butternut squash is the perfect alternative to potatoes or sweet potatoes. When baked in olive oil it’s just wonderful - crispy and caramelized on the outside, soft and creamy on the inside. This is one of my favorite side dishes to make this time of year (mashed butternut squash is another good one)....
The combination of graham crackers, chocolate, and gooey marshmallows is a classic summertime treat for a reason. With this recipe, we have transformed the dessert into pie form, ideal for serving a crowd of people a summer dinner party or as part of a BBQ dessert spread. The crunchy graham cracker crust contrasts the cool chocolate pudding filling. But the gooey marshmallows—toasted under the broiler not a campfire, in this case—will have you coming back for more....
The Ingredients for a Salty Dog If you’ve never had a Salty Dog, the ingredients might sound a little strange. Vodka, grapefruit, and salt? Really, that’s a thing? It is! It’s so simple and unexpectedly delicious that it may become your summer go-to. Fun Fact About the Salt Leave out the salt rim and you have a Greyhound, an equally nice cocktail. I like the salt rim of the Salty Dog (the etymology here is fairly obvious) for two reasons: Use a salt with a large, rough grain (like kosher salt) for the best results....
The challenge is, how to make crispy tender chicken fingers without having to deep fry them? With this baked sesame chicken finger recipe we first marinate the chicken tenders in buttermilk. Then we dredge the tenders in a breadcrumb mixture with crispy panko breadcrumbs and sesame seeds that have been browned and mixed with a little olive oil so they don’t dry out in the oven. We bake the tenders while quickly mixing together a spicy sauce made with orange marmalade and sriracha....
The bright sunset orange of wild salmon is striking against the roasted green beans and red peppers. The whole dish is topped with a bright cherry tomato salad. It’s like an explosion of color, flavor, and aroma. Oh, and I did I mention, the whole thing is cooked on one baking sheet? Beautiful, tasty, and easy to clean up? My kind of dinner. What is Harissa? I use a dry harissa spice blend for this salmon....

No longer motivated after the weekend, and still too far away from the next weekend to be excited about all the naughty foods I’m going to to eat, I’m starting to get a little hangry....

It’s super easy and quick, and we’ve got a couple tips for ricing your cauliflower. First of all, use fresh cauliflower for this recipe.

“It’s better with the bones,” my father and I replied, practically in unison. “Better flavor,” dad added. “And then there’s all that goodness from the marrow,” said I. Mom, not willing to give in so easily, said, “these bones are too small, I can’t see any marrow.” At this point, dad and I put our forks down and focused our gaze upon her. “Mom, just because you can’t see a hole in the bones, doesn’t mean there’s no marrow....
Potato Options for Slow Cooker Turkey Soup: We recommend Yukon Gold potatoes. They hold up in a soup better than russets, and don’t create a grainy, starchy texture in your soup. Sodium Control: If you want to better control the total amount of sodium in your soup, we highly recommend using low-sodium chicken broth. What is poultry seasoning? Poultry seasoning is a great pantry staple, as it contains the main herbs and spices found in most poultry and soup recipes....
Not anymore! This salmon dip is a crowd-pleaser. Served with crackers or crudités, and glasses of sparkling Cava or Prosecco, this pretty pink dip sets the tone for a festive evening any time of year. It takes next to no time to prepare and has become a standard in my entertainment line-up. I decided to use smoked salmon for this spread because of its intense flavor and color. Cream cheese and sour cream create the backdrop for the fish, and mustard, chives, capers, and lemon add the zesty elements....
The blazing sunshine means that even I’ve been wearing strappy tops and sandals! The kids have been begging for ice lollies every 15 minutes (Chris too), so to save my whole freezer being taken over by shop-bought popsicles, I’ve been making snow cones!! I first made them a couple of years ago for another site, and at the time, I accidentally bought about a thousand snow cone cups. (By the way you can buy the snow cone cups here) <– affiliate link We start off making the fruit syrup, which I’ve made from cartons of fruit juice....
Chinese takeout is SO good. Is it the food? Is it eating out of the to-go containers with chopsticks? The answer is yes to all. It is the ultimate comfort food. We’ve found it difficult to find high quality local Chinese takeout, so it’s a good thing we enjoy cooking at home This Asian inspired dish is a winner. The meat is tender and flavorful, and the broccoli is bursting with flavor in its own right....
Fabulous lazy Monday meal – made from scratch, using my cheeky “shake and pour” shortcut pasta sauce! Spinach and Ricotta Spinach and ricotta. We stuff things with it (Cannelloni, Rotolo, shells!), we layer things with it, we roll it up in puff pastry and we wrap it in pastry. So why don’t we stir it through pasta bakes? This is a lazy Monday meal I’ve been making for years. I know it’s a little different, but it really is tasty....
Potato Options for Steakhouse Style Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Steakhouse style mashed potatoes work best when made with small red potatoes. You can also use yukon gold potatoes, or russet potatoes. If using russet potatoes, be sure to peel the potatoes before using in this recipe as russet potato peels are often unpleasant to eat. Water vs. Chicken Broth: The potatoes soak up some of the liquid that they are cooked in so boiling your potatoes in chicken broth is a great way to add flavor to your mashed potatoes....
