Babies, Babies, Everywhere! I’m seeing babies in my newsfeed and on blogs and in real life like it’s crazy baby town right now, because it IS crazy baby town. And I LOVE IT. ♥ Now here comes the part where I talk about how much I like kids and you go, awww/gag. But true confessions, I really like those little ones. Infants and toddlers and preschoolers and kids and let’s not forget the baby animals, too, right?...

Here are 15 of my favorites! Overnight Buttermilk Soft and Fluffy Cinnamon Rolls – Move over Cinnabon, this recipe is my favorite! Soft, fluffy, and you can start them at night so all you have to do in the morning is pop them in the oven! Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Sticks – Portable French toast that’s just begging to be dunked!! Fast, easy, and double-dipping is totally ok! Cream Cheese-Filled Banana Bread – Banana bread that’s like having cheesecake baked in!...

Rather than calling for takeout, make this flavorful sesame chicken at home in 15 minutes. It’s a huge dinnertime win on busy weeknights. You probably have almost all of the ingredients on hand, too. Double win. Chicken and broccoli simmer in a sauce bursting with Asian flavors including honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. The chicken stays tender, juicy, and moist. Crisp-tender broccoli florets are the perfect little sponges to soak in all that delish sauce....

What do we want from chicken parmesan? Great question. We need it to be super cheesy and deliciously saucy with crispy golden brown bits peeking through to really bring the whole thing home. comment icon 170 more comments Turn that into a relatively wholesome little veg-party with a bed of fresh zucchini noodles and have the whole thing come together in about 20ish minutes? Okay, you HAVE OUR ATTENTION. As you know, in general, real noodles have our hearts but this is just a really lovely, really fresh way to health up one of our favorites and we are here for it....

Easy Shrimp Cakes Recipe Skip the overpriced (and often tasteless) restaurant shrimp cakes and make your own in 20 minutes! They are even better than a restaurant and far more cost effective to make them at home. They are crispy on the outside and the succulent pieces of shrimp on the inside are juicy, tender, and cooked just right. I hate overcooked rubbery fish and seafood and at about 3 1/2 minutes per side, these were cooked perfectly for my liking....

Sticky Sesame Chicken Recipe The next time you’re craving takeout, make this instead in just 20 minutes! This recipe is so fast and easy, and uses frozen popcorn chicken to save time. While the chicken bakes, you make a sticky sweet-and-savory sauce with soy sauce, honey, sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Pouring the sticky sauce over freshly baked chicken gives this quick Asian-inspired dinner recipe its better-than-takeout vibes!...

Mexican Taco Pizza Recipe Imagine enjoying your favorite beef taco ingredients, in pizza form, and that’s what you have in this easy taco pizza that’s ready in 20 minutes. Instead of traditional pizza sauce, I spread a layer of refried beans over the crust. The refried beans are a natural complement to the taco-seasoned ground beef and onions. It’s a match made in heaven and gets even better when there’s melted cheese....

As well as drinks to keep you cool and a few easy-breezy treats to keep your sweet tooth happy. Everything featured is fast, easy, no-bake or nearly no-bake, since most of us would rather spend our time outdoors and with family and friends than in a hot kitchen. Chipotle Avocado Cucumber Flatbreads (vegetarian, vegan if vegan flatbread is used) Mango Basil Personal-Sized Tortilla Pizzas (vegetarian or vegan if vegan cheese and tortillas are used)...

Wheeeeeeee!} Filipino cultural assimilation is in full force as we ask ourselves the biggest question yet: are we going to purchase, drive, and care for our very own moped for the next 11 months? Pro-moped thoughts: Anti-moped thoughts: HOW TO MAKE OUR COCONUT CURRY (30 SEC): Oh, hi coconut curry. You came together so fast and I was talking so much about mopeds that I almost forgot you existed....

comment icon 232 more comments I am just popping in quickly today to share this avocado cilantro dressing / sauce / lover of my soul before heading out into the busy work day to do all those bloggery things that are so secretive and mysterious. What do bloggers even do, anyways? To tell you the truth, we primarily take naps and watch Netflix. No no no, I’m kidding. Don’t hate me....

comment icon 154 more comments I know it sounds like the most crazy thing. First of all, KALE. Annnnd already we’ve lost about half. But I don’t stop there. No, I go right on ahead and make this a VEGAN kale pesto, and I’m left with, like, three blog readers. This isn’t a vegan food blog, although I should say that most of our people here are regular-grocery-store-shopping, real-food-eating individuals who like anything from saucy chicken to down home casseroles (😱) to chocolate peanut butter everything to – yes – the occasional plant-based meal....

Nachos … with Tater Tots! Do you love how cheesy this title is, tot-chos, rather than tater tot nachos? Yes I went there, I am cheesy. And so are these tater tots that are topped with taco-seasoned ground beef and plenty of cheese. The tot-chos are easy, ready in no time, and are perfect for parties of all kinds including Cinco de Mayo or game day parties. I know hungry fans would love digging into these....

Easiest Banana Pudding Bars It’s been years since I’ve made a creamy banana pudding dessert until these easy banana cream pie bars came to life. Note the operative word is bars. I am not a pie maker and avoid making pies like the plague and always opt for pie bars rather than making an actual pie. I don’t relish making pie crust. But this crust is so easy and made in the food processor with just three ingredients: Nilla Wafers, Fisher Pecan Halves, and butter before being baked briefly....

Sweet Potato Bites Recipe I am a sweet potato lover in all ways and forms — from sweet potato casserole to roasted sweet potato salad! And these little sweet potato bites are so fun and best of all, they’re fast and easy to make! Sliced sweet potatoes are brushed with a heaven-scented mixture of melted butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, and cinnamon before baking them. They’re sensationally good just like that, but then topping these perfect two-bite wonders with marshmallows and pecans takes them over the top....

comment icon 29 more comments There are 101 reasons why someone might not want to consume alcohol – right now, personally, we are in a season of less alcohol consumption for a number of reasons: physical health, mental health, young kids at home, etc. And in this season of less drinking, I’ve realized that having a fun, nuanced, actually good margarita in your back pocket that is more than just juice in a glass and doesn’t rely on alcohol is a really great life upgrade....

I remember both my mom and grandma making goulash. Although sometimes we referred to it as “hot dish” but that’s because I grew up in Minnesota where so many things are just called hot dish! Old-fashioned American goulash is known for being an easy comfort food recipe with ground beef, macaroni pasta, onions, and green bell peppers smothered in a seasoned tomato-based sauce. This hamburger pasta dish is thick, hearty, ready in just 30 minutes, and makes a very big batch....

I am so happy I fired up the stove for 15 whole minutes in order to create this complete meal. It was delicious, cheap, and easy. The best kind of meals. [print_this] Apple Glazed Vegetable & Edamame Stir Fry 4 c diced vegetables (squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, celery, onions are what I used. Or try turnips, parsnips, any type of potato, broccoli, boy choy, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, peapods, or any veggie you have on hand) 1/2 c applesauce (or puree an apple, skin and all, in your Vita or food processor) 1/2 c water 1 tsp ground ginger 1/2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning (or Mrs....

I’m Lindsay’s husband. I play the role of the YLILAPPWY Officer here at Pinch of Yum (YLILAPPWY = Yes, Lindsay, I’ll look at Pug Pictures with You). You think I’m joking… Every month I put together a post outlining the income we earned from Pinch of Yum and the things we learned along the way. Lindsay and I work full-time, so any income you see created from this blog is a result of time spent outside of the regular 9-5....

If you love pudding recipes, this Panna Cotta, Banana Pudding, and Tapioca Pudding are some of my favorites! How to make Arroz con Leche: I originally shared this recipe April 2020. Updated April 2022 and June 2024. I’m a huge rice pudding fan, and love both the American-style baked rice pudding and this Mexican rice pudding. The biggest difference between them is the way the rice is cooked. American rice pudding typically uses leftover rice and is baked or cooked on the stove....
