It will take you about 40 minutes to make this recipe - 10 minutes prep time and 30 minutes in the oven. Frozen vegetables are such a lifesaver. If you’re like me and you’re tired of food waste, a great way to prevent that is to buy fewer fresh veggies but stock up on frozen ones. The convenience is unparalleled - they’re already cut and cleaned, and in many cases, you can cook them from frozen....
The bad news? If you have little kids, it’s especially messy. Do you even know how far a 2-year-old can launch a spoon of broth?! You don’t want to know! How to Make Easy Homemade Chicken Soup Making an all-day chicken noodle soup is one of my favorite ways to spend a lazy and chilly Saturday, but honestly, who has the time? (I used to have the time. But now I spend my time researching how to get Nutella out of the couch....
The problem was that he just couldn’t get them right. He had a hard time getting them browned, and more often than not, they were overcooked. So when the-man-who-knows-more-about-seafood-than-I-ever-hope-to Hank Shaw was here the other day cooking scallops, both dad and I circled Hank like hawks, watching to see how he did it. Here’s what we learned. Sear Scallops in a Hot Pan You need a screaming hot pan! Scallops have a lot of moisture in them, which means you have to get the pan really hot to dry the outer edge of that moist scallop so that it can actually get hot enough to brown....
16 April Update – 7 days in, $39,106 raised, 5,000 foods delivered to 13 hospitals!! Read more and see photos here, down in the Updates section. ❤️ Over 100 healthcare workers around the world have died from COVID-19, caring for those of us in need. I want to say thank you to our frontliners. On Thursday 2 April 2020, I sent 250 muffins to the Westmead Hospital in Sydney as a small token of my appreciation to healthcare workers in the frontline, battling the COVID-19 war at great personal risk to themselves....
Serve it on top of cauliflower rice or spaghetti squash noodles for a complete meal. This is a very flavorful, bold-tasting dish that, as so often happens, was born out of the need to use up leftovers. In this case, I had an open package of andouille sausages that I wanted to use up. Sauteing the sausages in butter with shrimp and a tasty Cajun-style spice mix proved to be a huge success, so I’ve been making this recipe regularly ever since....
Looking for that simple side dish that will leave everyone raving? Bust out a Greek salad! It’s light, it is refreshing, and it’ll leave everyone feeling good. This is one of our go-to potluck items because it can sit well on a table, it’s visually appealing, and it is completely refreshing. Has anyone else ever ordered a Greek salad at a restaurant, only to be served a lettuce salad with a few olives and feta cheese?...
I love grilled pork chops most because it’s the least messy way to prepare them. You don’t have to deal with splattering hot oil from the pan and no messy sheet pans to clean up after baking. I simply brine the pork chops and then I pop them onto a hot grill. That’s it! Best Pork Chops for Grilling A rib chop, sometimes called a center-cut rib chop, is my go-to cut....
What’s in a Paleo cornbread? As you well know, corn is not Paleo, so a traditional cornbread made of cornmeal wouldn’t be Paleo friendly. We opted to use almond flour and coconut flour instead. Combine the flours with honey and eggs and you’ve got a simple, yet satisfying “cornbread”. Seriously, it totally passes off as the real deal! We use grain-free flours often, and some other great Paleo friendly baking recipes are our lemon poppy seed muffins, coffee cake muffins and morning glory breakfast muffins....
I’ve previously taught you about the wonders of Cuban bread, and now I’m giving you a little something to put on that bread. And it is even slow cooker! Score, man! You won’t find this recipe in my Slow Cooker Cookbook, but maybe I’ll include it if there is ever second edition. It is just so dang tasty! Mojo is a Cuban thing and is made from these sour oranges that you can only find in Cuba (and south Florida thanks to some seed smugglers)....
Actually, you had me at the cover of this new cookbook from food writer Shauna Sever, Midwest Made: Big Bold Baking from the Heartland, before I even knew something snickerdoodle was included. The book is inviting and filled with gorgeous baked goods you want to make right now. Procrastibaking, here we come! What’s It Mean to Be Midwest Made? I love regional cookbooks—heck I just wrote one!—because they give you a glimpse of how people live and eat elsewhere....
But let’s get real here: sometimes it’s just for myself because it’s the holidays and I will absolutely treat myself. What’s in a Popcorn Cluster? These spicy popcorn clusters are my latest crave-worthy snack, and they’re great in a big bowl. The combo of spicy chili and cayenne with sweet and chewy caramel is about as good as it gets. Once you have your popcorn popped, make the spicy caramel sauce and toss everything together....
Being an Aussie fortunate enough to have many readers from all around the world – and I really do many from all around the world (!!!!) – one of the things I’m very mindful of is sharing a selection of recipes suited to varying climates. And right now – January and February – are always the toughest months because the seasonal difference is at its most extreme. When I’m sweltering in the height of summer when it’s 40C/104F without a whisper of a breeze (reminder: I live in a house with no air conditioning!...
this recipe Cauliflower Rice Let’s detour for a brief moment to talk about cauliflower rice. We still eat regular white rice from time to time, but really do enjoy cauliflower rice. When you pan fry it, it gets a little crispy and gets a texture pretty similar to regular rice. Plus, when you use it for a dish like this spicy pineapple cauliflower pork fried rice, you really can’t even tell the difference with the mixture of flavors and textures, so why not add some veggies to your meal?...
Can I add cheese? Yes! There’s nothing better than cheesy potatoes. Use your favorite shredded cheese and add to your packets immediately after they’ve finished cooking. The packets will be steamy and hot, so be careful adding your cheese. Beef and Potato Tips: The secret to the most juicy, tender meat and potatoes is to not overcook the meat. Not an easy task when you’re trying to get your potatoes to cook all the way through!...
As with ribs, there’s no way to look elegant when you annihilate a plate of wings. And we wouldn’t have it any other way! Sticky Chinese Chicken Wings These Sticky Chinese Chicken Wings are so moorish, once you start you won’t be able to stop! This is my family recipe for Sticky Chinese Chicken Wings which has been tweaked and perfected over years, with input from everyone (mother, brother, sister and me) and many heated debates!...
I love that watermelon and strawberries are both in season right now and so so vibrant. They are beautiful and delicious, so that’s a win! Check these little gems out. They are just sweet enough to make you smile, and the crisp sparkling water is refreshing. It’s like a paleo friendly soda or mocktail. Even better, they are ready to be sipped in about 5 minutes or less, depending how quick you can wrangle a big watermelon!...
We’re kicking off summer with some delicious strawberry-kiwi lemonade. Making homemade lemonade is a cinch, and it is just so much better than anything you can buy. The same principle works for any kind of fruit lemonade you can think up. Raspberry lemonade? Just replace the strawberries and kiwis with raspberries. It’s awesome. You just need your base simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar), another equal part lemon juice, and then fruit and water....
The spice mix and slow cooking are responsible for the jerky’s great texture and amazing flavor. Jerky is one of my favorite snacks. It’s tasty and filling. But it’s very difficult to find commercial brands that aren’t made with lots of sugar. This homemade recipe is not only chewier and tastier than many commercial versions. It’s also made with no sugar. Apart from thinly slicing the beef, it’s quite easy to make....
According to Sara Sabo, “It is a lot of work but the Swedish tomte that lives under the floorboards helps, and you better do your part or the Jul goat will butt you. This is the day all distant relatives and many friends decide they want to be Swedish.” With that kind of intro, wouldn’t you be intrigued? Sara sent me her 40-year-old recipe for making this cardamom spiced yeast bread and I’ve now made three batches (with some recipe tweaking on my part)....
As we head into colder months, I wanted to translate this summer classic into a side dish for fall meals, featuring cauliflower, carrots, and golden beets. The salad is herby and bright, and it’s a great way to eat fresh foods, even in the fall and winter. To make this salad, I thinly shave cauliflower, then mix in with julienned carrots and golden beets. Tossing these vegetables with lemon juice and salt works like a simple marinade, rendering the vegetables supple with just a bit of crunch....
