Make sure you have plenty of kids to eat them up, otherwise you’ll find yourself nibbling them all (not that that ever happens here, right). Parents, if making this recipe with kids, the cutting out of the eyes and mouths is difficult and should be done by an adult. Otherwise just skip. Enjoy!

How To Make Sweet Potato “Rice” Making the rice for this recipe is actually really easy! You just cut the sweet potatoes up into chunks and throw them in the food processor. Let the food processor do its thing and the sweet potato will be pulverized into rice-like bits in no time. We did our “ricing” in batches for this recipe, because 3 potatoes was too much for our processor....

Whether you grow it yourself, know someone who grows it, or just buy it at the market, when it’s zucchini season, it’s abundant! Avoid Zucchini Boredom With Stuffed Boats! I quickly get bored with zucchini breads and simple stir-fries, and am always looking for fun ways to transform zucchini into something interesting. That’s why I love this recipe for Taco-Stuffed Zucchini Boats. It’s fairly simple to make and has great flavor from the mix of ground beef, onions, chili, and cheese (of course)....

The wings are seasoned and baked in the oven, then glazed with a flavorful sugar-free teriyaki sauce. They make the perfect appetizer! I love chicken wings, and this recipe is one of my favorite wing recipes to make. It combines two of my very favorite foods - crispy baked chicken wings and flavorful teriyaki sauce. The combination of the fatty, crispy-skinned wings and the savory-sweet sauce is amazing. And since my entire family loves this dish, I find myself making it quite often....

This whole roasted chicken recipe is easy to make, has only 6 ingredients (two of which are salt and pepper), and only takes 5 minutes to prepare. The real secret to this chicken, however, is giving it a 24-hour rest (or longer!) in the refrigerator before roasting. This gives the skin a chance to dry out (dry skin=crispy skin) and for the seasonings to flavor the meat. If you can let it sit for 72 hours that’s even better!...

While you can buy commercially-made spice rubs, it’s satisfying (and economical) to make your own blend, because then you can customize it to your own taste! What’s in This Spice Blend? This fish and seafood rub leans heavily on the celery salt, which plays really well with the briny taste of seafood and fish. It also has a complex blend of garlic, ginger, paprika, and dry mustard as well as a few hints and notes of earthiness from allspice, nutmeg, and black pepper....

Video: How to Make Pecan Pie Pecan Pie: A History Pecans are native to North America. So, it is entirely fitting that a pecan pie would make an annual appearance at Thanksgiving along with our other native foodstuffs like turkey, pumpkin, and cranberries. Pecan pie itself, though, is a more recent invention. While the first printed recipes for the pie started appearing in the late 1800s, the pecan pie classic as we know it became popular through the marketing efforts of Karo in the 1930s to help sell their corn syrup, a necessary ingredient in the pie....

Can I make this in a 9×13 pan? This recipe can be made in a 9×13 pan, however, it will require a longer baking time. A 9×13 cake generally takes 35-40 minutes to bake. Nuts or no nuts? Do I have to put nuts on a Texas Sheet Cake? Chopped pecans or walnuts are often spotted on a Texas Sheet Cake. They are completely optional, of course, especially if you are allergic....

Can I make Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies without a stand mixer? These cookies can be made without a stand mixer, but you will at the very minimum need a hand mixer in order to whip the butter and sugars together in the same way. Should I use milk chocolate chips or semi-sweet? Using milk chocolate chips vs. semi-sweet chocolate chips is a matter of personal preference. Either will work in this recipe, or you can use a combination of both....

We love chicken salad and I love making it for parties and get-togethers–it’s sweet, savory and satisfying. This recipe is always sure to please and goes great with almost any other kind of food: soups, salads, fruit, and hors d’oeuvres. Chicken salad is also flexible. You can choose which mix-ins you like and what kind of flavor you want. You can make it tangier with dill and pickles, or keep the simple, garden flavors of celery and grapes....

This casserole takes all the joy of the twice baked potato—a creamy, fluffy potato base packed with gooey and tangy cheese, salty bacon, and fresh scallions—and transforms it into the ultimate make-ahead dish. Choosing Your Potatoes I will never tell you that there is a wrong potato (all potatoes are wonderful), but there is usually a right potato for the twice baked potato job and understanding a bit more about them can help you choose correctly....

Cinco de Mayo is almost here, and who doesn’t love nachos? Despite what was served at elementary school cafeteria lunches, nachos do not have to mean stale chips with a bland cheese sauce. Discovering real nachos is revolutionary! Chips, cheese, meat, beans, veggies, yum! History Lesson: Nachos were created by Ignacio “El Nacho” Anaya in 1943 in Mexico. He created a new snack for the wives of soldiers stationed at Fort Duncan, frying cut tortillas and adding shredded cheese and pickled jalapeños....

The peppers are warm, filling, and enormously healthful. It’s the type of dish I crave when I want something comforting, but don’t want to land in a food coma. Trust me, these stuffed peppers promise a very good dinner, whether you are a devout vegetarian or not. The inspiration for the recipe comes by way of Deborah Madison, a chef and pioneer in the vegetarian cooking scene. I’ve been making the brown rice casserole from her famed The Greens Cookbook since it hit my bookshelf two decades ago....

We found this salad recipe years ago in Fine Cooking magazine (probably my favorite cooking magazine of all time). The salad beautifully combines the sweetness of summer cherry tomatoes with white beans and parsley. The secret sauce is the dressing, which includes garlic and rosemary infused olive oil, and a paste made of garlic, lemon, Parmesan and anchovies. If you want a vegetarian option, omit the anchovies, if not, by all means include them....

I haven’t posted a soup recipe for ages! I’m almost glad summer is over so I can start making my favourite type of lunch again!

She’s happy for me to share the recipes I write for her site with you guys too, so you don’t miss out....

I was born in Lahore, Pakistan, and have multi-ethnic heritage–Pakistani, Afghan and Persian. Because of my father’s job as an international development banker, I grew up all over the world: the United States, Nigeria, Kenya, the United Kingdom, and Bangladesh. As an adult, I worked in Rome, Italy, after which I made my way to Toronto, Canada, a place I now call home. I started observing Ramadan when we lived in Nairobi, Kenya; I was 16-years-old....
