And these little toasts have so many favorites. All in two quick bites. I’ve always loved a smorgasboard of choices because usually after a few bites, my attention fades and I’m ready to try something else. In restaurants, I’d rather order a few appetizers rather than one entree. That way my risk is spread out in case I end up with a dud. And this is just the kind of appetizer I go for....
Looking for more Thanksgiving recipes? Don’t miss my Thanksgiving Turkey, Homemade Dinner Rolls, Thanksgiving Stuffing, or Sweet Potato Casserole! Cranberry Relish vs Cranberry Sauce? Cranberry Relish is made from uncooked, raw ingredients blended in a food processor. It tastes fresh and tart. Cranberry Sauce is the traditional sauce that is cooked on the stove, thicker, and often much sweeter. They are both delicious, it really just comes down to personal preference....
Birthday Cake Cinnamon Rolls Recipe Homemade cinnamon rolls are a luxury that I don’t often take the time to make, but these easy cinnamon rolls reminded me that I need make homemade cinnamon rolls more often! I used my 2013 recipe for Overnight Buttermilk Soft and Fluffy Cinnamon Rolls and simply added rainbow sprinkles. I also used this recipe for Overnight Eggnog Cinnamon Rolls for the holidays. No cake mix here!...
No adult-themed beverages were consumed despite it being Cinco de Mayo. Skylar was with me, of course, and this mama doesn’t drink and drive. Plus, Madeline and I didn’t need tequila to keep the conversation flowing. We had plenty to catch up on! One other time recently I only had a One Shot, One Chance Picture Opportunity with a Yoga Master and that pic turned out Blurry. What’s up with me and The Blur?...
comment icon 157 more comments There is a restaurant in St. Paul, Minnesota called J. Selby’s. I adore it. It’s a “plant-based eatery” with pear ginger kombucha on tap, every kind of vegan bowl you could ever dream of, and deep fried buffalo cauliflower “wings” that will rock your world. The origins of this buffalo cauliflower taco obsession can be traced back to many kombuchas, “wings,” and burrito bowls shared by Bjork and I at the bar of this little restaurant....
Do you love pizza recipes? Try my Thai Chicken Pizza, Pesto Veggie Pizza, Calzones, or Detroit-Style Pizza! Why I love this pizza recipe: Fresh – You can’t beat the flavor of all of the fresh ingredients on this pizza. The freshly grated parmesan, burrata, sliced tomatoes, and arugula are such a wonderful pairing. Try making it with my homemade pizza sauce. Quick – Pizza night is always a winning kid-friendly meal and I love that I can prep the dough in the morning, and make pizza really fast (especially in my Ooni)!...
Warm potatoes baked with sour cream, green onions, and topped with cheese. All the fixings of loaded baked potatoes are baked right into these tender, comforting, creamy, cheesy potatoes. What more could you ask for. I wouldn’t call the dish lite, but I tried to make it a little lighter. To make the cream sauce I omitted butter altogether and used lite sour cream mixed with Silk Unsweetened Cashewmilk. It’s so irresistibly creamy and thick but with fewer calories than skim milk....
I love crinkle cookies. When I see those big crevices, my eyes light up and I know I’m in for a chewy treat. I love molasses crinkles, but peanut butter crinkles sounded so good. These simple peanut butter cookies are soft, supremely chewy, and have an old-fashioned peanut butter cookie flavor. It’s a very easy peanut butter cookie recipe to memorize because it starts out with 1/2 cup each of butter, peanut butter, granulated and brown sugars, along with an egg and vanilla....

In This Post: Everything You Need For Chili Garlic Pappardelle Lindsay’s Notes Oh man, these slippery, spicy noodles are a TREAT. Silky, rich, full of deep flavor and a flash of heat! I would say this recipe belongs less in the “normal family dinner” category and more in the “hangry / hardcore craving / last minute meal” category....
If there’s one thing I like better than homemade caramels, it’s homemade caramels dipped in chocolate. And decked out with sprinkles. They make everything better. Last week when I made the Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Dough Crumble Bars and used half of a can of sweetened condensed milk, the other half was just begging to be made into caramels. So that’s what I did. In seven minutes in the microwave....
Easy Christmas Oreos Recipe Chocolate-dipped Oreos are a classic Christmas treat that no one can resist. Something about all those red and green sprinkles lures everyone in! You only need a few ingredients and they are a fast, easy, no-bake Christmas cookie! Because they keep fresh so well for a long time, they’re also a great make-ahead dessert. For those wanting to ship or send a semi-homemade treat to friends and family who live far away, this is a great one because they’re sturdy and won’t crumble in transit nor go stale....

Just what I needed. Four boxes of cookies. But I’m not complaining, of course! I wonder how I’ll ever eat that many cookies? No, I don’t wonder, actually. I’ve already started sampling them and am happy to report that even though Enjoy Life is known for making foods free from many common allergens, they don’t taste like they’re “free from” or “healthy”. You can read about my thought on “healthy desserts” or “healthifying” desserts here....
I am thrilled to report that my American Express has been paid in full! A hefty five-figure sum. Paid. The weight of the world on my shoulders has been lifted! The reason I had credit card debt in the first place was fallout from an ill-timed real estate transaction in Phoenix. I never clicked with Phoenix and you can read about that story here, but it was a life lesson....
Super Simple Chicken Paella Recipe I am by no means a paella expert. Here’s what I did back in 2016, here’s how the recipe came about, we loved it, and I have been making it again and again ever since. With that said, here’s how I stumbled into having to try my hand at a centuries-old Spanish dish with no clue about where to begin. I’m an avid runner, and on a warm Saturday afternoon I ran by a local artisan grocery store and there was a man, Luis, making paella on the sidewalk in a huge paella pan over an open fire....
In Central America, curtido is often served with pupusas (corn cakes) and salsa roja. You could also serve curtido with cheese enchiladas, fish tacos, tamales, or any other food you might serve with coleslaw! Are you familiar with sauerkraut (a German staple) or kimchi (a Korean topping made with fermented cabbage)? I like to think of this Curtido recipe as the South American version of those popular recipes. Curtido is a Salvadoran cabbage slaw or relish that is made with cabbage, red onion, carrot, oregano, and vinegar (you can make spicy curtido by adding jalapeno)....
Easy Pepperoni Pizza Dip Pizza. It’s everyone’s favorite food. Especially for game days, family-friendly weeknight dinners, and those must-have-cheese-now situations. If you’re a cheese lover or a pizza fan you’re going to love this crustless pizza dip. I’d gladly skip my own one-hour homemade pizza crust and just eat pizza cheese, thank you very much. Plus, no crust means it’s naturally gluten-free dip, which is nice if you’re entertaining to have that option....
comment icon 94 more comments And you stand in support of Swiss and Gruyere cheese, brown sugar ham, caramelized onions, and spinach baked into creamy eggs and topped with a crispy golden croissant topping? Okay, yes. Welcome. You and I are on the same team. You will not even believe how easy this croissant egg bake is. We are just layering a bunch of delicious things in a casserole dish, popping it in the oven, and setting it out on the table....
comment icon 696 more comments You can fancify pancakes all you want, but can you really ever deny a butter-soaked blueberry pancake laced with maple syrup and dripping with hot, bursty blue juices? If you can, you are probably not human. These Are 5-Star Pancakes! You guys are not going to believe this, but BJORK was the person who first made these pancakes for me. He went through a phase (it was definitely a phase as it seems to be done for now) where he would make pancakes for me on Saturdays, and in his very professional pancake research and extensive testing – LOLS – he came across an unfancy, unfussy recipe for a five-star batch of standard, fluffy, buttermilky pancakes....
French green beans make a great side dish for most any meal, but if you have a love for French inspired food, be sure to check out my Leek and Potato Soup, Croque Monsieur and French Onion Soup! Green beans is probably the vegetable served most often at our house, so I thought it was about time I shared my recipe and tips for making them, right! The biggest tip is in not overcooking them, and seasoning them perfectly....
