Rice Options: We prefer the creamier texture of Arborio rice, but regular white rice will also work just fine. Reduce the cooking time to about 20 minutes. Can rice pudding be made in a rice cooker? No. This recipe requires a low simmer with stirring in order to reach the right consistency, as the rice is boiled in milk and sugar. Do add-ins go well with rice pudding? Absolutely. Rice pudding is kind of like vanilla ice cream....
We love the Sante Fe Grilled Chicken Sandwich. It brings back so many childhood memories! As far as fast food goes, it is a great chicken sandwich. We try to avoid the whole fast food thing though. Making food at home gives us complete control over the ingredients and the quality without sacrificing flavor. This sandwich is totally easy to make at home. It’s full of flavors and has lots of different spicing combinations in it....
“These cookies are made with just butter, sugar and flour. The holy trinity of baking!” These insanely addictive morsels are based on a South American treat called Alfajores which are shortbread cookies spread with Dulce De Leche (caramel) and sandwiched together. The shortbread used in Alfajores is not difficult but …..well, honestly? When I started to prepare to make the biscuits, I simply couldn’t muster the energy to do the full blown “real deal” shortbread for the Alfajores which required pulling out my Kitchen Aid, 20 minutes prep rather than 10 minutes, and 6 more ingredients....
The first time I tried pasta made this way was at a family dinner when my brother made it. I have never scoffed down a pasta so fast, and I’m pretty sure I went back for thirds. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but it was so good. So, so good. After dinner, he finally revealed that the sauce he used was made using the prawn heads and shells....
My goal is to feed my family a “healthy dinner,” but what does that mean? In our family, it means serving a variety of food groups, dishing appropriate portion sizes, and buying as many fresh and organic food items as possible. With all the fresh fruits and vegetables available in the month of May, I’m excited to get in the kitchen and start cooking! I want to serve healthy, delicious dinners to ensure dinnertime is everyone’s favorite part of the day....
With that in mind, I want to ease back into cooking in the beginning of the week with some simpler recipes that are full of flavor, like sheet pan pork chops and pasta with meat sauce. But after a couple of days stretching my cooking muscles, I’m ready to switch things up and extend myself a bit, so at the end of the week, we’re making lobster! And if you’ve never cooked lobster at home before, don’t fret....
That’s when you swoop in and make magic with this winning combination—one that is far more than the sum of its parts. What Is Aglio e Olio? Aglio e olio translates literally to garlic and olive oil, the essential ingredients in the recipe. It’s a dish with apparent roots in Naples, Italy, but can be found on dinner plates all over the country. It’s uncommonly tasty and satisfying, thanks to the pronounced but well-balanced flavors of garlic and chiles....
Oh and we’re not stopping there. This ravioli is then tossed in warm salsa and served with soured cream. And whoa! it’s so good!! I don’t often make homemade pasta, but it’s actually pretty fool-proof (always a good thing in my case). I usually find it therapeutic - kneading the dough and rolling it through the pasta machine. I made it with the kids this time though, so slightly less therapeutic and quite a lot messier....
This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni This is one of my go-to freezer meals I make to give to friends, and a great one to make for dinners to cater for both carnivores and vegetarians. I make it often throughout most of the year, except perhaps at the very height of summer. Yes, I love cannelloni that much!...
All you have to do is prepare the marinade in advance to give your steak strips a good flavoring before you cook them. Once everything is ready, just whip up the rice and sauté your steak strips with garlic, onions and some colorful bell peppers. Serve the sizzling steak on top of cauliflower rice for a complete meal in a bowl. The rice and the fajitas take about the same amount of time to cook, so this is an ideal dish to prepare as a couple with each person preparing one piece of the dish....
While my husband was out for a morning run, I was gobbling up delicate and fanciful macarons and the most delicious buttermilk panna cotta with fresh strawberries. I have a deep affinity for buttermilk, and I personally feel like it’s the most under-appreciated of all dairy products. My morning at Miette reminded me how versatile this tangy, thick milk can be, and how beautifully it pairs with strawberries. While I would love to eat panna cotta every day, it’s just not realistic, so I set my sights on creating Strawberry Buttermilk Overnight Oats....
Strawberry Crumble As regular readers know, I have the self control of a child when I spy bargains of my favourite fruit & veg. So every now and then, I go on a bender of whatever it is that I’ve overloaded on. A few weeks ago it was broccoli (evidence -> all my Broccoli Recipes) and cabbage (hence the Chinese Chicken Salad and Everyday Cabbage Salad I recently posted). Last week, it was corn (nothing made it here)....
The unsung hero of my dinner table is the small-statured delicata squash. Delicata are usually about the size of a large russet potato. This makes half a squash a perfect side dish for dinner, and a whole stuffed squash a filling main meal. Ingredients for This Stuffed Squash Recipe For this recipe, I’ve stuffed delicata with a savory combination of mushrooms, onions, pancetta, grape tomatoes, and rice. I’ve added an extra flavor boost by including a layer of chevre, a tangy goat cheese, halfway through the stuffing, and topping the whole thing with toasted bread crumbs....
Don’t skip the toppings. They seal the deal. 🙂 Taco Soup Even if you’ve never had Taco Soup before, if you enjoy Chili and Tacos, I guarantee that you will absolutely LOVE this. Basically, it’s everything you know and love about beef tacos, toppings and all, except it’s in soup form. It’s kind of like Chili – thick and hearty with a fragrant broth that’s quite heavily flavoured with spices....
You can make this simple cinnamon-flavored coconut custard in about 20 minutes. Just let it chill for a few hours and enjoy it as a snack, a special treat or a mid-day pick-me-up. The Best Coconut Milk for Tembleque Because I truly believe that my late Abuela Leria is reading this from beyond the grave, freshly extracted coconut milk from a real coconut is the best type of milk to use in tembleque....

While writing my cookbook, “Air Fried Boss,” I tested over 50 air fryer recipes from French toast and baked salmon to BBQ chicken pizza. So I know a thing or two about cooking in the air fryer. Here are my tips for converting oven Thanksgiving side dish recipes for cooking in this trendy appliance. Yes, You Can Air Fry It! Most side dishes that can be cooked in a conventional oven can go in an air fryer....
Grabbing a cup of coffee throughout the day is normal for many people, and, as a result, the coffee machine that’s right for you is the one that provides high-quality coffee while still managing to be easy to use. If you’d rather have coffee ready as you roll out of bed, you’ll want to make sure it has an internal timer. Also, if you intend to leave your coffee machine on the kitchen counter for accessibility, it’s worth considering some aesthetic elements, too....
If you took the time to score the very best grill and seek out top-notch meat and veggies, don’t skimp on choosing high-quality charcoal. Think of lump charcoal as another important ingredient in your grilling or smoking. Different charcoals impart different flavors, and they imbue your meat with the complex smokiness and rich aroma quintessential to barbecue, a uniquely deep, woody, smoky flavor that you can’t quite replicate with anything else....
A gas grill cooks food with gas jets located underneath its cooking surface, fueled by natural gas or liquid propane. It can utilize either gas from the house using a connected hose or a refillable propane tank. The advantages to gas grills over their charcoal counterparts are many. They’re tidier: You can skip the messy wood chip/pellet and charcoal system and ash cleanup. They’re faster: Just turn it on instead of waiting for the coals to heat through....
