Cold winter weather calls for hearty soup! This classic tomato soup is perfect on its own with some bread, or paired with a grilled cheese. It’s incredibly easy to whip up in a crock pot (or instant pot if you’ve got one), but I chose to do it the old-fashioned way using my Vitamix blender …
What the fudge, it’s almost Christmas! Anyone else feel like this year has simultaneously taken forever and flown by? I for one am definitely not sad to see 2020 go. Like most Americans my holidays look pretty different this year, but one way to keep up the Christmas spirit is by making holiday foods and …
Ginger molasses cookies are a Christmas must-have! Growing up just a few minutes away from King Arthur Baking Co. meant that I was surrounded by the smells and tastes of holiday recipes pretty consistently – and ginger is an iconic holiday ingredient. These cookies are delightfully soft and chewy with the perfect amount of spice. …
I’ve seen this “Egg Roll in a Bowl” dish everywhere on social media, so I thought I’d give it a try! It’s essentially just combining all the ingredients (minus the wrapping) of an egg roll into one bowl so you get all of the flavors and less of the guilt. There’s also a ton of …
Alexa, play Rise Up by Audra Day . The rise on these gingerbread soufflés is crazy! I always thought growing up that soufflé was extremely hard to make (they always make it look disastrous on cooking competitions), but it’s actually surprisingly easy. This is my second time making soufflés and you know I had to …
Few things are better than some hot mulled cider in the winter! This is the perfect hot beverage for the holiday season and makes the whole house smell incredible. The cinnamon and apple make a delicious (and cozy) combo, and it’s incredibly easy to make for yourself and any guests you’ve got for the holidays!
Holy crepe, take a look at those layers! Making a crepe cake has been on my list for a long time now, and due to a special request I was finally able to check it off. I’m a big fan of the Lady M cakes, and their classic vanilla flavor is still my favorite, so …
My favorite dessert of all time is tiramisu! I’ve always loved the flavor combinations (who can resist chocolate and coffee?) since I was a kid, and making it at home is ridiculously simple. This tiramisu will absolutely impress your friends and family while you also maintain your sanity in the kitchen (we love a good …
Craving a hearty, filling, and healthy breakfast but short on time? Enter shakshuka (also spelled shakshouka), a delicious Mediterranean dish made of eggs poached in a rich, spicy tomato sauce. It’s super easy to whip up in a cast iron skillet, and while eggs and tomato are the star of the dish, you can add …
Our Thanksgiving celebrations look a little different this year, which means downsizing on some of the traditional foods. If you’re looking for a side dish that’s healthy and incredibly simple but will still be devoured at your Thanksgiving dinner, I highly recommend roasting broccoli and sweet potato. It seems so easy, but these veggies are …
