My Favorite Egg Recipe for Dinner If you’re looking for a great Italian sausage recipe, this is the one. This recipe is like shakshuka, otherwise known as eggs in hell or eggs in purgatory, but it’s a little different. Those recipes normally don’t add sausage but I did. Why not? The sausage adds another layer of flavor in addition to the crushed tomatoes, onions, garlic, and smoked paprika. I used hot and we liked the subtle kick, but use mild if you prefer....

I’m all about easy dinners and this one is a winner-winner-chicken-dinner. This sheet pan recipe is ready in about 30 minutes and cleanup is as easy as tossing a piece of foil. Amen to less dishes. The chicken and vegetables marinate in a mixture of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Italian seasoning, and dried onion. The longer you marinate, the juicer your chicken and the more flavorful your vegetables will be....

And when I say kick, I mean I’m in this phase where I’m doing a green smoothie every Monday – Tuesday – Wednesday – Thursday – Friday – Saturday – Sunday of the week. It feels really unusual annnnd sort of amazing. This little green number is keeping me caught up with all my fruits and veggies plus it tastes amazing!...

comment icon 74 more comments Team MUSHROOM. You’re on that team, right? If you’re not, let me attempt to hypnotize you in three two one zero You’re hearing them sizzle. You’re smelling the butter and the garlic. You’re feeling the steam from the white wine going nutso as it’s being poured into the skillet. You’re popping mushrooms in your mouth. They’re golden brown and full of buttery garlic flavor. You like them....

Brunch, you better believe she’s going to shine next to a piece of quiche. It’s all honestly so easy and so good. The BEST Homemade Dressing Since we really cannot take any credit for the spring greens, they’re just doing their thing, let’s talk about this dressing....

Everything good (in this case: lean turkey veggie meatballs and smooth, tangy tomato sauce with fresh green herbs) tangled up in hot pasta and just exploding with color and texture. closes eyes and purrs I seriously love it. I don’t often make spaghetti and meatballs but I’ve had it on my overcrowded food idea board for a looong time now and I may or may not have just gotten tired of looking at it....

It is absolutely packed with juicy tomato and big garlic flavor, tender shredded beef that swims in a little almost gravy-ish situation, all twirling and swirling around big wide chewy pappardelle. Hello, are you crying? It’s all just so beautiful. comment icon 400 more comments We also probably don’t need to tell you that this is perfect for bread dips too because you were obviously already thinking that. In This Post: Everything For Beef Ragu with Pappardelle Prefer To Watch Instead Of Read?...

Best Ever Red Velvet Cookie Recipe (Really!) Red velvet-anything is one of my weaknesses. It’s right up there with peanut butter as being one of the best dessert flavors of all time — and yet, I somehow haven’t shared a classic red velvet cookie recipe before now. It’s a totally from-scratch recipe, no cake mix here. To me, the best red velvet cookies are chewy around the edges but still soft and slightly fudgy in the center....

The batter for these easy s’mores bars is a stir-together, one bowl recipe that comes together in less than 5 minutes before turning it out into a pan and baking. It takes me longer to roast one perfect marshmallow over a campfire than it does to make this s’mores recipe! The combination of chocolate, graham crackers, and marshmallows, all suspended in a buttery, brown-sugar based dough, is pure bliss. If you don’t have anything on your summer dessert menu — including Memorial Day, Father’s Day, 4th of July, or Labor Day — or have no plans to stand around a campfire any decade soon, may I suggest these?...

Easy Fall Cookie Recipe I loved this cookie dough so much that it was hard to even bake it because I just kept nibbling on it. But I’m so glad I did. The butter pecan cookies are super soft, buttery, full of rich pumpkin flavor and there are plenty of pecans in every bite. I used a dough base I haven’t used since I made Candy Corn Cookies last fall....

Here are a few pictures of Skylar and I as we were getting ready to go for our walk yesterday. It’s winter here. You know, like 60F. Which is why we’re all bundled up. She begs to wear her pink fluffy coat and pink Uggs. Good thing other people in So Cal wear Uggs year round. She’ll fit right in. It was a pretty mellow stroll, so after that, I came inside and did a 20 Minute At-Home Workout....

comment icon 70 more comments Without fail, I always get asked to bring a salad or vegetable dish to Thanksgiving. And salads at Thanksgiving… well, you know how it is. You really need to make it count, otherwise might as well forget it. It’s hard to compete with mashed potatoes and turkey and all the other yummy regulars. But this salad is not forgettable. It has all the elements of a winner....

We woke up to broken glass everywhere and we’re getting estimates on how much it’s going to cost to fix, but we’ll have to satisfy our insurance deductible first. When I wrote the post late Thursday about the sprinkles incident and klutz day, and also referenced broken glass, I should have knocked on wood or something because it turned out to be some gnarly broken glass foreshadowing. There was only one thing that was going to make me feel better: Chocolate...

Easiest Breadsticks Recipe You have no excuses not to make these soft, buttery, warm, foolproof breadsticks. Ready in an hour. Everyone has an hour. It’ll be the best use of one hour all week, I promise. At a restaurant, if you’re the type of person who can devour a basket of soft breadsticks before they bring your food, and by the time you do get your food, you’ve eaten so many breadsticks that you don’t even want it, this is the recipe for you....

Salty and Sweet Chex Mix Recipe This is one of those snacks that I truly couldn’t stop eating. It’s salty-and-sweet, crunchy, chewy, with so many different textures, and it has the flavors of the tropics from the pineapple, coconut, and lime. I had to get it away from myself or I could have eaten the entire army-sized batch myself. When I initially posted a photo of it to my Instagram Story, I had many more people than usual comment that they couldn’t wait for the recipe....

Sometimes the strangest and weirdest looking food tastes the best. These lumpy, bumpy, crusty potato sticks may not win any beauty pageants, but they are the best potatoes I have ever eaten. I don’t really love potatoes, but I loved these. These crazy looking potato sticks, which look like they came from the depths of the ocean and belong in a Jacques Cousteau book, don’t actually taste like potatoes. They taste like french toast sticks that weren’t actually made with any toast....

Looking for more pork recipes? Try Slow Cooker Ribs, Pork Chops with Creamy Mustard Sauce, or Pulled Pork! Pork tenderloin is a lean and tender cut of meat that comes from the backbone of the pig, while pork loin is a larger and more marbled cut taken from the top of the backbone. Why I love this recipe: Flavorful & Juicy – Gone are the days of dry meat! This pork tenderloin is perfectly flavored in our marinade and just melts in your mouth....

A Classic Thanksgiving Stuffing Recipe People love serving this traditional stuffing at Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, and I even receive emails at other times during the year from people who make it and no matter the season — it’s always a hit! My family are stuffing fanatics for classic and traditional stuffings. No pears, dried fruit and nuts, wild mushrooms, or even bacon or sausage need apply. Think: old-fashioned stuffing made with day-old bread, onions, celery, butter, and herbs....

There was a very strong pattern in the fails this year: primarily that they start with the word HEALTHY and end with DESSERT. I have no explanation for myself other than to apologize for trying to make weird and healthy ingredients try to taste like things that should only ever be buttery, sugary, and richly chocolatey. It’s the ultimate betrayal to self. Here are the most memorable (or what’s the word for anti-memorable?...

Here are a few things that do I know: For as Practical as I am, some rules are meant to be broken. Certain food rules, dietary rules, life rules, exercise rules, rules about your job, relationship, family, where you live, or whatever else, are not always set in stone. Cut loose, live your life, and break some rules every now and then. Sometimes rules help us and are there for a reason....
