My father grafts several varieties of apples on to his trees, but the Granny Smiths are the ones that are the most prolific, and they’re also great for pies, applesauce, apple butter, and apple cobbler. One of our favorite things to make with our apples is this apple cobbler. The filling is seasoned with cinnamon, lemon, and vanilla and isn’t overly sweet. The buttermilk biscuit cobbler crust is speckled with bits of candied ginger....
These savory breakfast muffins are perfect for brunch, and even the leftovers are good! My kids adore these cute little cups. They love the fact that they get to hold their eggs and bacon in their hands and eat them as finger food! Eggs and bacon for breakfast is a fairly ordinary combination. But these delicious cups are far from ordinary! They are pretty, festive, easy to make, and super fun to eat....
This has to be one of the easiest ways to cook asparagus. Just trim the ends, lay out on a foil lined baking sheet, toss with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Parmesan, and then bake until done. I eat them like French fries. Addictive? Yes. They’re a perfect side to salmon, scallops, shrimp, or ham and delicious with eggs of any kind—poached, fried, or hard boiled. Video: Baked Asparagus With Parmesan Asparagus can range in size, so choose stalks of a uniform length and thickness for even cooking time....
It’s surprisingly easy to make, and it’s definitely one of my favorite chocolate desserts! Do you love chocolate? I think most of us do. There’s something about it that’s more than its sweetness. People really do crave chocolate. It’s no wonder I have so many chocolaty desserts on this website! From chocolate pie to chocolate cake, and even - for my snack - chocolate yogurt. I love them all. But this custard is one of my favorites....
Never mind. Unlike her, I am all about seizing the (summer) day, and this one-pan recipe for halibut with loads of fresh vegetables does that for me. A Quick and Colorful Dinner! It’s colorful. It’s quick. It’s full of flavor and light but satisfying for these last days of warm weather. Plus there’s only one pan to wash at the end of the meal. Who doesn’t get excited about that?...
The idea behind this recipe is that the gorgeous mushroom juice drips into the rice as it bakes – the best broth base ever! Incredible, super easy mushroom recipe! I think the two most common recipe questions I get are: Can this be made with chicken breast? (Hands down, the most asked 😂) Can this be made in the oven? (Followed closely by the 3rd most asked question: Can this be made in a slow cooker?...
This is a cookbook exclusive recipe! This recipe is exclusive to my debut cookbook Dinner which includes a how-to video for every recipe. Just scan the QR code! Just to explain…. I know, it’s confusing! You’re so used to getting recipes on my website – there’s over 1,200 of them, after all. And here you are looking at a tasty recipe video and I haven’t provided the recipe. 🙀 I’m not just doing this to torture you, I promise....
Dotted with spices and plump raisins, it’s a cross between pickled beets and an English-style chutney (the sweet-tart goopy kind). Fantastic with cheese plates, it’s also excellent tossed with green salads or spooned over the kind of grown-up sandwiches (open-faced braunschweiger or liverwurst) I turned my nose up at when I was a kid. If pickled beets are your thing, try this beet chutney. Since the beets are diced into small cubes, it’s easy to dole out with a spoon; you’ll soon find it becoming one of your favorite condiments....
In this blueberry basil smoothie, it is the perfect pairing of sweet and savory. The aroma of the basil is refreshing and the flavor combination is well balanced. This smoothie is also easy to make. All you do is add all the ingredients into your blender and blend until smooth. If you try out this recipe, let us know what you think by leaving a comment below and adding a rating....
I have THREE versions for you to choose from – a No Bake cheesecake made without gelatine, a baked creamy one, or a light-yet-creamy New York Cheesecake cheesecake style. This is an epic post! Blueberry Cheesecake Bars! I kid you not, I think I made about a dozen batches of cheesecake bars over the past 6 weeks or so since blueberries started appearing in the stores here in Sydney. You might think I’m turning into a mad baker, but I swear that’s not it (wait – maybe I am)....
I’ve missed you Mr. Burger I have to say, when I first went Paleo the one craving I had was for a big, juicy burger. I thought I’d crave cheese and sandwiches, but it was really that burger that was calling my name. I don’t know why it took me so long to create this bunless burger recipe, it’s exactly what I needed to curb my burger craving! This lettuce burger is actually my preferred burger now....
You might be tempted to keep such a decadent dessert all to yourself, but caramel brownies are a quintessential crowd-pleaser!

How to Make Caramel Brownies Follow the basic guidelines below and you will have a rich, fudgy brownie with caramel in every bite!...
But this Creamy Chai-Spiced Rice Pudding tastes so much like the original milk-based version that it took my family and friends by surprise when they found out it was completely free of animal products. I said to them, “See? Vegan recipes aren’t boring!” I wasn’t trying to fool anyone, but they were shocked it was vegan! How Do You Make Vegan Rice Pudding? Coconut milk is the key ingredient to vegan rice pudding....
Excellent way to make use of leftover bread. Make it now or leave it overnight, then just pop it in the oven the next day! Breakfast Casserole – Strata Cake! Being completely upfront – this is not a real dish as such, it’s just something I made up on a whim back when I first published it over 5 years ago as a way to make breakfast for a group without frying up individual bacon and eggs for everyone....
It dawned on me the other week that I haven’t shared a fun recipe in quite a while. “Fun” being things like bite size French Toast Bites (have you tried them?? They’re fabulous – and fast!), Mini Potato Gratin Stacks, Mini Pizzas made in Garlic Bread Cups. That sort of thing. Tasty, fun food. And these Cheeseburger Party Meatballs are the first thing that popped into my mind when I found a packet of beef mince in the fridge....
It’s a tasty snack that you can feel good about enjoying. Needless to say, they are perfect for game day! I started making these tasty tots after my cheesy broccoli tots were such a hit. It occurred to me that I should make a version with cauliflower. So I did, and I think these are actually better than the broccoli ones. This is probably because cauliflower is milder than broccoli and very similar to potatoes when cooked....
The word stew generally evokes thoughts of cold winter evenings with the fire blazing. So you might think I’m a bit strange for posting this one in Spring. However, this is more of a light, nutty curry than a hearty-filling stew. Chicken, spices, peanut butter, sweet potato and a few other goodies, all combine to make a tasty dinner. I like to add a couple of red chilli peppers to mine to spice things up a bit, but if you’re serving this for kids, you can either: Whilst the peanut butter and coriander hint at a slightly Thai-flavour-inspired dish (Thai being one of my favourite cuisines - like this Mee Siam , Yellow Curry, Peanut Pork or this Laksa), it’s the addition of tomatoes, stock and sweet potato that really brings it closer to a more traditional African stew....
Chicken Pasta recipe – loaded! This is the pasta you make when you’ve had a bad day and you need a pick me up.

And this is the pasta that you make just because there are few things in this world that can rival the feeling of complete and utter satisfaction as you slurp down a big bowl of creamy chicken pasta!...
If you think a sandwich built with chickpeas is a no-go for pint-sized eaters, I don’t blame you. But chickpea hummus is so popular among kids—this sandwich isn’t much of a stretch. It was such a favorite among all three of my kids that I included it in my first cookbook, Best Lunch Box Ever. How to Build a Chickpea Panini The filling for this sandwich is a combination of chickpeas, shredded carrots, lots of lemon juice, and soft goat cheese....
What Makes This Chocolate Bundt Cake Special In it, you’ll find close to 2 cups of strong coffee and a quarter cup of bourbon. Yes, you can sub the bourbon for another whisky or for just more coffee. But I do recommend using the bourbon if you have some on hand. Bourbon has a wonderfully smoky flavor, and the cooking process cooks out almost all of the alcohol. So the use of it is more akin to using vanilla, just a different flavor note....
