Whenever you order a dish with mashed potatoes at a restaurant, did you ever wonder whether they peeled, boiled and mashed the potatoes to order? No they don’t! Restaurants prepare the potatoes ahead by boiling and mashing just the potato, then just before serving, it is mixed into boiling cream (or milk or even broth or a combination thereof) to reheat it and make it nice and creamy. When it comes to ridiculously creamy restaurant style mashed potatoes, there’s not much to it....

Sweetened with stevia, it has 4 grams of carbs and 200 calories for the entire filling cake. I really like mug cakes. I have a few of them on this website, and I really appreciate the way they satisfy sweet tooth cravings swiftly and efficiently. I also like that they make just one serving - built-in portion control! This mug cheesecake is a lifesaver. Made in the microwave, it’s ready super fast, it’s very filling, and it satisfies that craving for cheesecake that I tend to get once in a while....

So if you’ve ever made and been unimpressed by a Minestrone Soup before – I promise you, this one will not disappoint!...

This, straight from the mouth of my nine-year old nephew, who, since mint-chocolate-chip is his favorite ice cream flavor, has probably had more mint chocolate chip ice cream in the last year than any of us have had in the last twenty. Needless to say, hearing such a declaration when you’ve gone the extra effort to make ice cream from scratch is rather gratifying, don’t you think? Why Use Fresh Mint We have a couple of mint patches growing in our yard, though I never thought to use the mint we grow for ice cream until now....

Chewy rice cakes, in many forms both sweet and savory, are popular in several Asian cuisines. The sticky rice cake dessert, Nian Gao, is not the same as the chewy rice cake ovalettes, also called Nian Gao, that are stir-fried in Shanghai cuisine. (Confused yet?) My baked Nian Gao is dense and chewy, similar to the texture of a soft gummy bear. The enjoyable bouncy chew is one of its big draws....

But one day I found a brown sugar keeper that solved all those problems. How to Soften Brown Sugar: Other Ways Before I had a designated brown sugar keeper, I tried the trick of adding apple slices to my brown sugar and enclosing it in a plastic bag....

The problems: The roll never tears cleanly.I always over- or under-estimate the amount needed to cover a sheet pan.The roll wants to win at all costs. You want the paper to lie flat on the pan? Good luck with that.The trace-and-cut method for cake pans leaves scraps that aren’t sized for anything useful, so I have to throw them away.Speaking of which, it’s just a hassle to measure and cut parchment paper!...

Chicken Madras is our favourite curry and we often just serve it with plain boiled rice, but if we want something extra special, this is where this onion fried rice comes in. So long as you have some boiled rice already cooked (we always keep some stashed in the freezer), it can be made really quickly - while your curry is simmering away. You can swap out the ghee for sunflower oil if you haven’t got any in but I find the ghee adds to the overall flavour of the onion fried rice....

And once you know how to make them, you will never have an excuse to not cook sweet potatoes again. Those kids who won’t eat their veggies? Ha! They’ll eat so many of these fries, their skin will turn yellow from beta carotene. Munch. Yum. Munch. Yum. I’m still eating them in my mind. I brought these over for my father to try. I think he only got to eat one or two because he was also eating the rest of his dinner, the dinner I abandoned in favor of these....

Finger lickin’ good! Tandoori Chicken recipe Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala or Tandoori Chicken?? Any outing to an Indian restaurant causes a crisis of indecision as we battle it out between these 3 wildly popular Indian chicken dishes! There’s no denying that one of the reasons why we love Tandoori chicken is the signature smokey chargrilled flavour that can only be achieved in a clay tandoor built to withhold fierce charcoal heat....

Then simply roast them in the oven until they’re wonderfully crunchy. Mmm good! Nuts are the perfect snack. They are crunchy, flavorful, and very satiating. Honey-roasted nuts are wonderful, and my family loves them. But I recently discovered a flavor combination that we like even better. These roasted spicy nuts are amazing! They’re not overly seasoned, so the flavor of the nuts themselves shines through. But the tasty seasonings and the hint of spice truly elevate them into a very special treat....

Use this marinade for tougher cuts of steak This is a go-to steak marinade for us. We use a version of this marinade to flavor a lot of our tougher cuts of steak like flank, skirt, hanger and flat iron. These are perfect cuts for a marinade because they are a little tougher and need some extra flavor. They also happen to absorb the marinade really well because they are a thinly cut steak – not to mention they are cheaper!...

Ready in a mere 30 minutes and served with a simple green salad, it’s a quick and easy meal that deeply satisfies. Pork chops are one of my favorite cuts of meat. They are wonderfully flavorful and very easy to make. So when I ordered them online a few weeks ago and received pork shoulder steaks instead, I was annoyed. That is, until I opened the package and looked at them....
