What if you could combine all the flavors of jalapeño poppers into a fun new easy to eat appetizer with a little barbecue zing? That was the question on my mind when I went about creating this recipe. This recipe has been a huge success among all my taste testers. In fact, my husband’s co-workers have been patiently waiting with anticipation for this recipe since they were the recipients of many of my test rounds....
Broiled for just 3 minutes per side, they are ready fast, making them the ideal weeknight dinner. These kabobs are so very flavorful! The spice combination is amazing. They make such a great solution for steak cuts that are just OK. I also like that I can make them in the oven, under the broiler. I’ve got nothing against grilling, but I really enjoy making these beef kabobs in the winter, when I don’t really feel like grilling outside....

The Stay At Home Chef uses ingredients that are easily accessible for most people in the United States and Canada so that anyone can easily celebrate world cuisines even if their opportunities for travel or access to regional ingredients are limited. Meat Options in Moo Shu Pork: We know that not everyone eats pork, whether for dietary or religious reasons....
A Modern Twist on a Classic Take the Black Manhattan, a modern twist on the classic Manhattan recipe, created in 2005 by bartender Todd Smith from San Francisco’s Bourbon & Branch. It’s largely a swap, where Averna, a bittersweet amaro, is substituted in for the traditional sweet vermouth. With the addition of a dash of orange bitters into the mix, it’s a whole new drink, if just a tad familiar too....
Blackberries provide a seamless switch from the familiar cranberry juice in a traditional Cosmo, working well with the orange from the Cointreau and the zesty notes of lemon. It’s a cocktail with natural sweetness that doesn’t overpower the taste buds while being both crisp and rich rather than effervescent and refreshing. This one is best enjoyed on the patio or atop a picnic blanket with a charcuterie and cheese board or serve it as the welcome drink for a backyard cookout with friends....
He often requests them in pancakes and muffins, and more recently, in these blueberry crumb bars. Video: How to Make Blueberry Crumb Bars These bars are packed with a generous layer of fresh blueberries sandwiched between a shortbread base and a crumb topping. The blueberry layer turns jammy as it bakes! Both the base and topping are made from the same mix: two-thirds gets pressed into the pan to create the crust and the remaining third gets crumbled over top....
While ordering one can feel like a throwback to the late ’90s, it turns out there’s a reason for its popularity—this is a fun, zippy little drink, equal parts tart, sweet, and bracing! A Delicious Update to the Cosmo A traditional Cosmo is composed of vodka, lime juice, Cointreau, and cranberry juice. This blueberry and pomegranate version is smoother and juicier, but just as enjoyable! Blueberry and pomegranate make a really lovely flavor combination....
Elisabeth’s grandparents were Ukrainian, and I think borscht was one of her favorite soups to make. Every time I make or eat borscht I think of my friend and the discovery of how good a soup made primarily of beets can be. The wind is howling outside, if any leaves remain on the trees, they are sure to come down today. Here is a wonderfully satisfying beet borscht, perfect for a cold weather day....
This broccoli recipe is a lighter version of classic Broccoli Salad with a creamy dressing. Try this on the side of Baked Pork Chops, sticky Baked Chicken Thighs, marinated beef Steaks or crispy Pan Fried Fish with Lemon Butter Sauce! Broccoli Salad I’m keeping this post short and sweet because it’s an extra recipe, a side dish for these Oven Baked Pork Chops I also shared today. 🙂 When you think of creamy salad dressings, you automatically think of mayonnaise....
This slaw is the perfect winter salad. Rich pecans, spicy red onion, and sweet cranberries are tossed in a sweet and savory maple dressing. The longer the salad sits, the juicier the cranberries get as the shaved Brussels sprouts become more tender. How to Shave Brussels Sprouts Shaving Brussels sprouts is easier (and faster!) than you think. Some grocery stores carry Brussels sprouts that are already shredded (like Trader Joe’s)....
And then take a shower in grated Parmesan, lemon zest, and chopped parsley. I’d like to say this is quick and easy, but it’s not quick. It’s long and easy, the sort of thing you can just put on the stove and give a stir every once in a while, as you cook the rest of the meal. The onions and fennel are only lightly caramelized. You could cook them longer if you wanted, or sprinkle some sugar on them to bring out more of the caramelization....
Cauliflower Cheese A really great Cauliflower Cheese recipe has been on my radar ever since I experienced a great example at a well-known steakhouse in Sydney some years ago! There’s plenty of recipes out there that tell you to just boil up some cauliflower, cover it in a béchamel sauce, throw in some cheese, and bake it. While that’s totally fine, you do end up with that distinctly sulphurous, boiled cauliflower flavour (not my favourite taste in the world) and run the risk of patches of watery sauce....
For this baked pasta recipe, sweet, roasted cauliflower and onions are paired with salty Parmesan and buttery Gouda and topped with a crispy Ritz cracker crust. It can be served as a simple vegetarian dinner or as a side dish for roast chicken or grilled steak. To start, roast the cauliflower and onions together in a hot oven. Cut the cauliflower in slices rather than in small pieces. Not only will you save on initial prep time, but you’ll end up with much better caramelization with good crispy bits....
If you’ve never had a cheeseburger pizza before, it’s exactly what it sounds like: a sesame seed pizza crust is smothered in a “special sauce” and topped with sharp cheddar cheese. Then, it’s topped with savory ground beef—seasoned just as you would your juicy burgers—plus pickles, fresh tomato slices, and more cheese. Because pizza Fridays are my family’s thing, we’ve made cheeseburger pizzas more times than I can remember, but we’ve never made it the same way twice....
Our neighbor Pat (the wonderful neighbor who has been teaching me all about organic gardening) brought over this delicious casserole for a block party recently. What a hit! For more information on which apple varieties are best for baking, check out our Guide to Apples. Remove the pie crust from oven and let cool. Remove the foil and pie weights. In the last 30 seconds or so, add the garlic and cook until fragrant....
Cheesy Zucchini Bread I want to tell you that this is a special recipe I made for Australia Day, which is today, Friday 26th January 2018. Being that as I started writing this post, it dawned on me that this Cheesy Zucchini Bread is green and gold which are our national colours. But alas, I must confess, it is by sheer co-incidence that I happen to be sharing a green and gold recipe on Australia Day....
