Chicken piccata is one of those Italian dishes that most people order regularly when they dine out, but rarely make at home because they assume it’s complicated to prepare. Wrong! It’s actually one of the easiest Italian dinners you can make! 🙌🏻 Chicken cutlets are dredged in a seasoned flour mixture before being cooked in a mixture of olive oil and butter for perfectly seared chicken and the best flavor....

Mostly because I have a little collection of leftover containers holding what’s left of this delicious homemade Rice-A-Roni-esque meal. Two options right now: 1) judge the fact that I just likened this to Rice-A-Roni or 2) be a real person who likes good food made from scratch that just happens to taste like Rice-A-Roni. I already know what choice you’ll make, because you rock. Mwah. I love when I get to the middle of a workday Monday and I remember that I have amazing lunch leftovers waiting for me....

I hope you make the Thin Mint Fudge cuz it’s easy, delish, uber-rich, and the ingredients are readily available. And then the little Raw Vegan Chocolate Chocolate-Chip Cookies from my second post du jour are winners, too. You can always make those if you need to get your chocolate on. But moving right along…One ingredient that’s sorta new to many people in the blogosphere is Chia Seeds. If you need a place to purchase your seeds from, you can try Chia Seeds on This Page where they sell Chia Seeds....

comment icon 89 more comments It’s a staple for many, but it’s new to me as of this fall, and it has immediately become a chilly-weather favorite that has me excitedly hauling out the big heavy Dutch oven every Sunday afternoon. I am hooked. Rich and savory with tomato flavor, juicy chicken, tender rice, lots of herbs and spices, plenty of lime juice, and (at least in my kitchen) a handful of jalapeño-stuffed green olives – it is a complete 180 from the mild and creamy chicken and rice that I grew up with, and it is wonderful in its ability be both comforting and also spicy and bright all in one complex bite....

There’s no shortage of crispness and crunch in this Asian-inspired chicken salad! Between the romaine lettuce, red cabbage, cucumber, edamame, and more this is one salad that you’ll never get bored of eating! The creamy peanut dressing comes directly from my gold star Thai peanut salad. It’s been a reader favorite for years, and I’m not exaggerating when I say I could eat this peanut dressing by the spoonful. If you love peanut sauce as much as I do, make sure to check out the recipes below the recipe card which are all made with homemade peanut sauce or peanut dressing....

Make a pan of these sweet potato wedges. Yes, the sauce, too. I am never not licking every last drop out of the jar. But the fries, man. They are my husband, kids’, and office neighbors’ greatest joy right now. I swear I am never more loved than when I am pulling a pan of these out of the oven....

Why I love this recipe: Impressive – This appetizer feels so fancy and sophisticated, and is perfect for a holiday party or any gathering with family and friends.

When it comes to fondue or baked cheese dips, the better the cheese the better the dip....

I’m sure we all do this but I really try to keep my impulse buys to a minimum since I’m queen of impulse duds. But I’m glad I grabbed a little box of Instant Banana Cream Pudding that was on sale for 69 cents. I turned that little box of pudding into this. With some help from a banana, caramel sauce, butterscotch chips and white chocolate chips. Because my thinking was as long as you’re going to drink a banana cream pie, you may as well go all out....

This easy, one-bowl, no-mixer cake is a my new favorite lemon dessert. That’s a huge statement because this Copycat Starbucks Lemon Loaf with hundreds of glowing reviews is very hard to beat. The olive oil lemon cake itself if not overly sweet, which I appreciated since it’s rich from the olive oil. This is an excellent cake for holiday parties and events. It is a talking piece kind of cake rather than just another chocolate cake that we’ve all had a zillion times....

Okay, first of all, let’s pause for a moment of reflection on the fact that this is a BRUNCH CAKE. Really the main word that comes to mind is LUSH. It is cake without being cake while still being cake. Do you feel me? This is very much a brunching wow-factor that doubles as second breakfast if you need brunch vibes in your life on a Wednesday. Time for some straight talk....

They are Whooga ugg Boots Points of clarification on the boots I received: Whooga is the brand. And the word ‘ugg’ simply means the style of sheepskin boots. There are other brands of ugg boots, such as UGG Australia and many others. But I chose these lovely purple fuzzy numbers from Whooga. They are so soft, so fuzzy, and I can see these being my new best friends. Yes, I am one of those Southern California girls who walks around with shorts and ugg boots on when it’s 72F and sunny out....

Rather than making traditional cannoli, I made these cannoli-inspired French toast rollups. They’re easy to make and the filling in the center is creamy, luscious, and studded with chocolate chips. I flattened slices of eureka!® Smoooooth Organic Wheat Bread with a rolling pin before adding the filling, rolling up, battering with a milk and egg mixture like you’d do for regular French toast, and griddling. eureka! reminds us bread doesn’t have to be bland and eating better doesn’t have to be boring and I agree....

Easy Party Pinwheels Recipe Are you ready for football season and tailgating parties? I’m not really a big fan of the game itself, but I am definitely a fan of football food. Making a meal out of appetizers, snacks, dips, and chips is the best. I love some good gluttonous party food as much as the next person, but in an effort to lighten things up I made these veggie pinwheels....

Easy Cranberry Bars I love cranberries and ’tis the season for them. And it’s always the season for chocolate recipes. I have a copycat recipe for Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars that is spot-on and I love those things but they do take a little bit of time to make. These blondies are the faster, easier, semi-sweet chocolate alternative and just baking them reminded me of all the cranberry goodies my grandma and I used to make together around the holidays when I was growing up....

comment icon 853 more comments I mean, I know we talked a big game with those barbecue salmon bowls, and those salmon burgers with the crunchy slaw may be one of the most-made, last-minute, healthy-delicious meals of my life. And all the myriad other ways that I love to cook salmon. But I think this one is top of the list for me now. Coconut curry salmon is everything I ever needed to happen to salmon, like, actually happening....
