It’s easy to make, too: simply bake the eggplant slices, top them with sauce and cheese, then briefly return them to the oven to melt the cheese. There’s no need to mourn the loss of pizza after transitioning to a new diet! Luckily, there are plenty of tasty alternatives. 🍕 I have several pizza-inspired recipes on this site, including a few with a vegetable base such as cauliflower pizza crust and zucchini pizza....

Fish Pie Let’s talk Fish Pie. Fish Pie for Easter! (Or any other time of the year 🙂 ) This recipe has a few more steps in it than my usual quick ‘n easy dinner recipes. But no more steps than usual pies – Cottage Pie, Beef and Mushroom Pie, Shepherds Pie....
Why do you use vodka in your pie crust? Can I replace it with something else? Vodka prevents the formation of gluten once the flour in the recipe is hydrated. Gluten gives flour elasticity, which is great for making bread, but not so great for pastries and pie crusts. By inhibiting this elasticity, the crust remains flaky, even if you have to roll it out multiple times. SUBSTITUTION: You can replace the vodka in this pie crust recipe with an equal amount of cold water in addition to the cold water already called for in the recipe....

The looks of awe and admiration when this dessert is placed on the table are unbelievable - especially considering the minimal amount of effort that goes into creating it. Even placing that Christmas turkey on the table doesn’t compare! For once I haven’t even attempted to include calorie information in the recipe card. If you’re eating this dessert you aren’t counting calories. I first made something similar a few years ago for another website, and the kids have asked me for it every year since....
Aren’t we all a bit like Guy Am I with food sometimes? Something is new and different and maybe looks a bit weird so we don’t want to even try it. We are so glad to have tried and actually like green eggs and ham! It is a whimsical breakfast that we love to make on Dr. Seuss’s birthday with the kids. Say! I like green eggs and ham!So I will eat them in a box....
Ready in about 30 minutes, it’s easy to whip them up anytime - whether you want a delicious side dish or an easy snack. I love carrots. I really like their crunch and sweetness when they’re raw, whether dipped in homemade ranch or just enjoyed all on their own. But I also enjoy them when they are well-seasoned and cooked. 🥕 These carrot chips are especially good! Roasting thinly sliced carrots in olive oil elevates them from a fairly standard veggie into a truly delicious snack....
School starts in less than a week for us! Yikes! We decided to spend one of our last summer afternoons in the kitchen making a lunchbox treat for the kids. These fruit and vegetable snacks are right up our alley. Now, they are much more like really thick jello pieces than your run-of-the-mill boxed fruit snack, but then again, these things are actually made out of real fruit and vegetables so of course they’ll be a bit different....

But I can help you with the butter popcorn!!! This butter popcorn is intensely buttery – and it stays crisp for days!...
I flavor these nuts with smoked paprika and sea salt. The combination of honey and these seasonings results in a wonderful flavor combination - salty, smoky, and sweet (but not too sweet). I love nuts. Who doesn’t? They have this winning combination of flavor and a wonderfully crunchy texture. Crunchy, fragrant, and flavorful, these honey-roasted nuts make a wonderful snack (and these spicy nuts are excellent too). They also make a great homemade hostess gift this holiday season....
Do I have to use alcohol to make extracts? Vodka is the best way to make these extracts and it is about 40% alcohol. If you are worried about the taste, don’t worry. You can’t taste the Vodka once the extract is made. If you are worried about the alcohol, it is burned up when baked or cooked and is used in such a small amount that it is completely negligible....
Cranberry sauce is really inexpensive, you may find it convenient to pick one up from the store but I tell you, once you try this homemade cranberry sauce from scratch, you would never reach out for that store-bought again. Let me tell you why you should be making your own this Christmas or any other day. Not only is this sauce great on turkey, or other holiday roasts, it is perfect with breakfast and in sandwiches too as a relish....
The depth of flavour from the gravy thanks to the Guinness beer is out of this world, mop it up with some freshly baked Irish soda bread or serve over some fluffy mashed potatoes!

Fret no more, instant pot or any other electric pressure cooker is a lifesaver....
Growing up in the 80’s as a child in Australia, the food my mother made was not normal by Australian standards. I was that kid who was sent to school with sushi rolls and bento boxes, when all I wanted was Vegemite sandwiches (Australia’s answer to America’s PB&J). Little did I know – I was ahead of the pack. Dining every night on food that is now “all the rage”....

They are easy to make and very tasty, and they go with just about any side dish one can imagine. Although more often than not, to make things truly easy for myself, I simply serve them with a big salad!...
One of the best things about this recipe is its ultra-short ingredients list - you’ll only need three ingredients to make this tasty treat! It took me a while to realize that the panicky “OMG I will never get to eat sweets again” sinking feeling that I had when embarking on a low-carb diet was completely misguided. You absolutely do get to enjoy keto desserts - you just use different ingredients to make them....
