Bacon is good stuff by itself. Add a little heat and some sugar and wowzers, you’ve got yourself bacon nirvana! This candied bacon is sure to impress and totally simple to make. It transforms the delicious bacon strips into this sweet and salty candy with a nice slight chew. The slight heat leaves your taste buds craving more. Really, it is just ridiculously good. It could be served plain or incorporated into almost any dish where you’d use regular bacon....

If you’re feeling inspired, indulge in a Thai banquet at home with Chicken Satay Skewers, Thai Fish Cakes, Thai Green Curry or Red Curry, and Thai Fried Rice! Thai Basil Chicken Wowser. I LOVE Thai Basil Chicken. Just looking at these photos and writing up this post has me peeved that I’ll shortly be reheating leftovers instead of firing up the wok. (That’s a nice insight into the immaturity that is me....
The Meat: Charcuterie means cooked or cured meats in French. It makes sense — charcuterie boards of the past were made up of a wide selection of cured meats. Today, you’ll see a lot of other ingredients used, but that doesn’t make your choice of meat any less important. Some of our favorites to include on our Thanksgiving charcuterie board are: CapicolaSalamiPepperoniProsciutto The Cheese: These days, charcuterie boards are so much more than just meat....

There’s a fantastic Thai restaurant up the road from me - which is where I was introduced to Tom Kha Gai.I wasn’t hugely hungry, so I just ordered some soup. One that I hadn’t tried before. First taste and I was totally hooked. Now I order it every time! I decided to figure out how to make it at home. But just for those days when I’m in a soup-making mood....
Chocolate in Peppermint Joe Joe’s Copycat: We highly recommend you use high quality chocolate chips to ensure the best flavor and texture when it is melted. A couple of our favorites are Guittard and Ghirardelli, and they should be available at your local grocery store.

Ready in just 30 minutes, they are easy to make and so versatile - they’re great on their own or in a sandwich. When faced with piles of leftover turkey after Thanksgiving, one needs to be creative. I have quite a few leftover turkey recipes on this website. This is one of the best. These turkey patties are crispy, golden, and very flavorful. My kids really, really like them, which is always a big plus....
Just give me all the brownies. I don’t want to eat anything else today except brownies. I dont bake cakes too often on the blog but I’ve been meaning to make these for quite a while, but put it off as I knew my greed would see me scoffing one every time I entered the kitchen. I wasn’t wrong. I love chocolate brownies anyway, but Turkish delight seals the deal for me....
What makes our recipe the best? We first conducted an extensive blind taste test of every brownie mix on the market and pitted it against our own brownie recipe. When our recipe came in third place, we went back to the drawing board to create a new recipe that could beat them all. After 20 rounds of recipe development, we created a new brownie recipe that was able to withstand our blind taste test, proving itself to be the best brownie recipe ever....
Depending on the sweetener you use, it can be low-carb and keto too. And it keeps well in the fridge for several days. I have a pretty wild sweet tooth. Apart from trying to fight it, I have developed an arsenal of truly easy recipes that can calm it down without causing too much damage. 😂 This tasty ricotta dessert is one of these recipes. It’s cool and creamy and nicely flavored with vanilla and honey....
An excellent starch + veg side dish, or light meal for warm days. Plus it’s alot more interesting than the run-of-the-mill bean salads around! White Bean Tabbouleh Salad I don’t know if you have people in your life like me who don’t exactly jump up and down at the mention of a bean salad. But throw the word “Tabbouleh” in there, and suddenly, it sounds a whole lot more interesting....
The idea for this salad was inspired by a recipe we found last year for a kale winter salad from the blog A Tasty Love Story. We tried it for the first time around Thanksgiving last year and it immediately became one of our favorites. We loved how fancy it looked and all of the amazing flavor it packed in. For our twist we added a couple of different kinds of kale, some shaved brussels and switched up the almonds for sunflower seeds....
Working from home often means I don’t plan my lunches. I think to myself that i’ll just whip up a nice couscous salad or a tasty soup, but I hardly ever actually do it. Unless it’s a recipe-making-photo-taking day, or I have some leftovers (yeah right in our house?) I often fall into the trap of eating toast or a quick sandwich. Within an hour I’m lethargic and craving something sweet, and so begins the cycle of coffee, cereal bars etc....
I’ll share some of my favourite sauces with you too. The easiest party food that always goes down an absolute storm.Chicken wings are a brilliant budget-friendly appetizer and they taste great on their own or dipped in sauce. I have an oven-baked wings version on the site, which are great. But these wings are JUST AS TASTY and cook in about a third of the time in the air fryer....
However, if you don’t own an air fryer and would still love to try this recipe, you can easily roast the potatoes and sausages together in the oven following the same instructions as the air fryer. Related recipe: How to cook sausages in the oven. Kielbasa sausages: these are precooked Polish sausages, they are smoky, juicy, and delicious. If you can’t find this type if sausage where you live, feel free to use any other smoked sausages such as chorizo....
So long as it’s filled with sweet and spicy chicken, juicy mushrooms and crunchy carrots. These Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps really makes a fabulous lunch, and they can also be served cold as a kind of chicken salad minus the cutlery. Did i ever mention that i LOVE making Asian recipes? 🙂 These are the perfect appetizer or party food and love to serve them along side my Sticky and Crispy Asian Chicken Wings and my Cauliflower Wings for parties....
Asian Chilli Chicken Calling a dish “Asian”-something always feels a little generic, a lazy label that people seem to use loosely if a recipe happens to contain a dash of soy sauce. I can assure you that there’s more than just soy sauce in this! Ginger, garlic, chilli, sesame, sriracha and lime juice all make the roll call of ingredients. While it may not be strictly traditional to any particular cuisine, the flavours still plant this quick chicken recipe firmly in the “Asian” genre in my book....
This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! After sharing Greek Moussaka with you on Monday which requires no less than FIVE pots, pans and trays to make (worth the effort, but not an everyday meal!), I thought I’d better to a 180º and share a much faster recipe today. 😉 My friend John from He Needs Food, a stunning Sydney food and travel blog, shared a homemade Sweet Chili Sauce the other day and it prompted me to make some....
