Pork chops are a family favorite dinner recipe. You’ll need only a handful of simple ingredients to make this delicious dinner. These chops are made in a skillet along with green beans and are coated in a garlic butter sauce. What cut of pork chops should I buy? This recipe will work with both boneless center cut chops and bone-in center cut chops. The bone will ensure more even cooking, but boneless will also be delicious....

Slow Cooked Shredded Beef Ragu Sauce There’s this annoying thing that’s been a thorn in my backside all my working life. This thing called pride. I’m not a professional food photographer, or food stylist, videographer or a chef for that matter. But that doesn’t matter. What does matter is being proud of everything that I have on my website, knowing that even if there are people out there who can take better photos and make better videos, that I’ve done the best I can do and I’m proud of what I’m sharing....

Slow And Low Does The Trick While the Instant Pot is a convenient tool (and we provide Instant Pot instructions for this recipe in the notes below), there is something comforting about using the slow cooker. I love being able to throw a big beef roast in the slow cooker and let it cook all day. The slow cooker not only breaks down the roast into tender and fall apart pieces, it also fills your house with the delicious smells of BBQ beef....

This cinnamon roll recipe combines the best of both worlds: the predictable convenience of fast-acting yeast with the deep nuanced flavors in sourdough. Sourdough starter contributes the inherent tang of fermentation, while commercial yeast allows the dough to rise quickly so your cinnamon rolls won’t be too sour, resulting in cinnamon rolls with a balanced flavor. Since you’ll be using commercial yeast, you can make this recipe all in one day and it comes together in less than 3 hours....

Who can say no to freshly baked scones with a nice cup of tea? Not me, not Chris and certainly not our kids! We delighted the kids when they came back from a trip to Wales with their grandparents with a gorgeous tea party, overflowing with finger sandwiches (yep, we went there with cucumber sandwiches, egg & cress and cheese & beetroot), cheesecake, macarons, and these homemade scones. The feast was all served on tableware from Portmeirion - who sponsored this post, and I LOVE how it all turned out....

I’m sitting here in my woolly socks and comfy workout clothes (although I have no intention of working out today) with a large cup of tea and the underfloor heating on. We had a massive rain shower earlier and Lewis came back from football absolutely drenched and a bit shivery, so I made us an early lunch of homemade soda bread and lentil & cheddar soup……. I LOVE AUTUMN! There’s something about the changing of the seasons that always creates a little buzz of excitement in my belly....

This squash takes so well to roasting – the sweet flesh hardly needs any adornment because it has so much flavor. The skin is also edible, so there’s no need to peel. After roasting, you can cut right through the skin with a fork! I also love that delicata squash cooks more quickly than hardier winter squashes like acorn and butternut squashes. This makes it easy to cook on a weeknight....

Luckily, it’s usually totally possible to swap something you already have on hand for the wine and the dish will turn out just as good. The tricky part is, when it comes to white wine, there is no one-to-one substitution. It’s a matter of looking at how much wine is called for and what it’s contributing to the recipe. A Little Acid Is Key Most of the time, the wine brings notes of acidity....

This is how to make sweetened condensed milk caramel: Place sealed cans of sweetened condensed milk in slow cooker, fill slow cooker with water, slow cook on low for 8 hours. Output: Perfectly smooth, no stir, thick, deep flavoured caramel sauce. It’s incredible! Sweetened Condensed Milk Caramel “This keeps for a month in the fridge. But it won’t last that long.” Dulce De Leche. Smooth, rich and thick with a deep caramel flavor, this South American export is the king of all caramels....

Red curry is really simple to make! You start with a red curry paste, which you can find at any local grocery store. From there, mix it with some vegetables and spices and a can of coconut milk to make a creamy (and naturally vegan) dish. You will simmer it for a while and then add in shrimp and serve it over brown rice with some extra herbs on top....

Saucepans can be made from a variety of materials, though they tend to have a similar shape: circular with taller sides, resembling a small pot with a long handle and lid. Some saucepans are made with a nonstick coating, while others are made of materials like ceramic, cast iron, or stainless steel. Determining which is best for you depends on your preferred cooking methods. Because this kitchen basic is well-loved in most homes, you want to make sure you invest in the right one (or multiple if you make large or complex recipes)....

There are two different installations when it comes to oven ranges, freestanding and slide-in. Neither is better than the other. Freestanding is exactly what it sounds like, a unit that has finished sides and a backguard that houses controls as well as protecting the wall behind the range from splashes or accidents. They can be installed in between cabinets or stand on their own. Slide-in oven ranges have unfinished sides and are designed to be installed between cabinets or in a kitchen island space....

Key lime pie is one of those sweet indulgences that you probably shouldn’t eat on a daily basis. But on a hot summer day? Or for a special gathering? This key lime pie is just perfect! What Is Key Lime Pie? This all American pie is easy to make, too. Key lime pie ingredients are simple: sweetened condensed milk, lots of lime zest and juice (preferably from key limes), and just enough egg to give it a good set....

What’s the secret to restaurant-quality tortillas at home? A tortilla press. It’s a staple in Mexican kitchens that also belongs in yours. These machines instantly transform balls of masa or flour dough into perfectly round, pliable tortillas with the right thickness to hold any filling, from delicate tacos and sopes to hefty burritos and tostadas. Ready to upgrade your tacos? We recommend the Verve Culture Tortilla Press. To help make sense of the many options for tortilla presses, I’ve narrowed down the best tortilla presses with the best option for every budget, including wooden and electric presses....

It uses a combination of coconut milk, coconut extract, and coconut flakes to give you as much coconut flavor as possible. Can this recipe make coconut cupcakes? Yes it can! This recipe will make about 24 cupcakes. They will need to be baked at 350 degrees for approximately 15 to 18 minutes....

Pasta baked in a homemade tomato sauce topped with melted cheese, this Tuna casserole is juicy and full of flavour and bears no resemblance to the usual acts of desperation associated with canned tuna meals! After a CREAMY tuna pasta bake? Try Tuna Mornay! Tuna Pasta Bake Confession: I say “Everybody has a can of tuna” but I don’t. Well, I do have lots. But it’s not for me. It’s for Dozer....

I’m serving this tuna with a vibrant and fresh Sauce Vierge, a light French sauce that’s a modern classic for all the right reasons. Healthy, quick and easy, this Tuna Steak also makes for stunning presentation. Looks, taste, speed and elegance – this ticks all the boxes! Tuna Steak There’s a reason why tuna is so highly prized by the most elite restaurants around the world. The belly is sought after for its rich and fatty flesh, while the loins – which we’re using today – have a silky texture and a savoury, clean flavour that isn’t at all “fishy”....

I know ther’s more to life than sandwiches. But right now, I’m finding it hard to get my mind off the subject. I made this BLT a couple of weeks ago when some friends came round the other day, I meant to take a few photos of it there and then for the blog, but it accidentally got eaten (ahem). So I made it the next day, along with the genius idea of making a backup BLT in case of BLT related emergencies....
