Celery root, like its close relation celery, is one of those under-appreciated vegetables. It’s actually a variety of celery that is cultivated just for its sturdy, starchy root. I’m guessing celery root lacks for mass popularity because it can be a bit difficult to peel! It’s nobby all over and you can’t easily skin it with the vegetable peeler. Like butternut squash, celery root requires a steady hand and a sharp solid knife to master....
Served alongside charred peppers and onion, this meal is a kaleidoscope of colours no one can resist! Chicken Fajitas – healthy and seriously delish! Whenever I see rainbow coloured capsicum on sale at the stores, I immediately think of Fajitas. I know, I know, full points for (un)originality. Though to be fair, when I see just redcapsicum on sale, my first thought is the not so well known Spanish Romesco Sauce....
Sprinkle them with spices, pan-fry them for five minutes, and dinner is ready! I make this recipe quite often. It’s easy and very flavorful. It’s also ready fast, making it ideal for a weeknight dinner. We all enjoy it, with the notable exception of my youngest, The Picky Eater. I can’t say I’m surprised. 🙂 Organ meats are probably an acquired taste. I wasn’t too fond of them as a kid either....
What Is Chicken Marsala? Traditionally, Chicken Marsala is chicken cutlets dredged in flour and fried, served with a sauce made with a Marsala reduction. It often includes mushrooms. Chicken Marsala Special Ingredient: Pancetta This recipe for Chicken Marsala is a favorite of my father’s and is adapted from one he found in Fine Cooking magazine years ago. It doesn’t have mushrooms (though you could easily add them) and gets tons of flavor from Italian pancetta....
I love this vegetarian “non-chicken” chicken salad sandwich! It’s got everything I love about a chicken salad or tuna salad sandwich, but without the animal protein. On the face of it, it seems almost too simple to be that good. To be honest, I was pretty wowed by how tasty chickpeas are in a sandwich. My skeptical better half, a die-hard meat and potatoes guy, was even more impressed when I sprung this on him....
When I was in the local Chinese market perusing the mushrooms I asked one of the other shoppers, a tiny and ancient woman half my height whose etched wrinkles framed a friendly smile, where the wood ear mushrooms were. “What are you using them for?” “Hot and sour soup,” I replied. “What? You don’t want those. Here,” she grabbed a bag of dried shiitake, “use these.” “No! You don’t want those for hot and sour soup!...
Since most of us are staying close to home right now, I figured a big pile of clams is a perfect way to do a bit of armchair travel. The inspiration for these brothy bivalves comes by way of Spain, thanks to the smoky chorizo that’s essential to the dish. When simmered with onions, garlic, tomatoes, and wine, the chorizo infuses the broth with incredible flavor. Then it’s just a matter of adding a heap of clams, simmering until they open, and serving them in shallow bowls with plenty of broth....
Hey there! Molly here from What Molly Made. I’m the recipe developer, photographer and writer on my little corner of the internet. From healthy sweets like blueberry basil popsicles and Greek Yogurt banana bread to indulgent desserts like these cupcakes, I’m a lover of all sweets. I’m especially a lover of sweets in the springtime. A great Christmas cookie or pumpkin pie is amazing, don’t get me wrong. But there is just something special about a zesty citrus dessert or lightened up favorite that gets me excited about the warm weather to come And that’s exactly what these coconut lime cupcakes do!...
If you are fond of chocolate and coffee and love a caffeine-kick, stop what you are doing and make this chocolate coffee cake! It’s SOOOOO good, super rich, moist and tastes absolutely heavenly! The coffee flavor in this cake is coming from strong black coffee that was used in the cake and espresso powder that was used in the ganache. I didn’t add any coffee or espresso in the frosting because it became a bit too over-whelming....
This copycat dressing calls for ingredients you probably have on hand already. Using mayonnaise for a little bit of creamy richness, this dressing rounds out with lemon juice, red wine vinegar, parmesan and other spices. Remember to serve this up the next time you feel like making an Italian dinner. Everything you need to copy the whole salad can be found in the recipe too. Buon Appetito! Do I have to use mayonnaise?...
Buying the Best Crab for Crab Bisque When buying crab, ask the guy or gal behind the counter when they got the shipment in. The answer you want to hear is “this morning”. If the crab came in that morning, or even the day before, it should be good. If it is 3 or 4 days, I would wait until the next shipment. Make sure that you get a crab that is at least 2 pounds....
I decided to share her cream cheese muffins with you. They looked completely different than anything I had done before. The instructions were easy to follow and produced a muffin that tasted fabulous and looked just like the picture in the book. That’s always something that concerns me about cookbooks. Will it look like the picture? In this book, it does. Deborah uses authentic photos to show off her fabulous recipe creations....
You can serve a cup of it as an appetizer, or serve a bowl as a filling and flavorful main course. Soup is the perfect wintertime appetizer. But it’s not just an appetizer! In fact, I often serve a bowl of it as a main course. And if you like mushrooms, I think you are going to absolutely love this delicious soup. It’s silky, creamy, and incredibly flavorful. One of us actually dislikes mushrooms (even these wonderful sauteed mushrooms), but she loves this soup and regularly asks for seconds when I make it....

Healthier Creamy Chicken Soup In most cases, the base is heavy cream, a roux made of fat and flour, or both. I love a good stick-to-your ribs soup as much as the next person, but for this Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup, I wanted to lighten it up a bit and increase the protein, without adding loads of heavy cream or making a roux. To do that, I pureed a couple cans of cannellini beans....
These fish tacos are assembled at the table and eaten with your hands. They can turn any gathering of respectable people into a group of unruly friends with riotous laughter. There’s no pretense here. Just kick off your shoes, grab yourself a drink, and have a good time! Why Make Crispy Fish Tacos I mean, really, what’s not to love about fish tacos? A crispy breading, loaded with chili powder and citrus, encasing tender, flaky white fish?...

Crockpot or Instant Pot It’s really all about which appliance is your preference and how much time you have....
Shallots: This recipe calls for shallots in addition to a regular white onion. Shallots are a smaller member of the onion family that have a sweeter and more mild taste, as if onion and garlic had a baby. You can always leave the shallots out, but they really do add a wonderful bit of flavor. You could always try using a sweet onion instead of the white onion as another option....
Refried beans – The smooth and creamy texture of refried beans is perfect for these but you could sub black or pinto beans if desired. Rice – Just plain cooked rice is great, or add in a little cilantro and lime juice to jazz it up. Tortillas – Use any burrito tortillas you wish, siete foods has large grain free burrito shells that work great if you’re looking for a grain free option....
