Love seafood recipes? Try this Tuna Melt, Cioppino Stew, Fish and Chips, or Easy Homemade Crab Cakes!

We’ve been on a cookie marathon over here and now my freezer is stocked (for better or worse) with several different types of cookies including: Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies, Snickerdoodles, and Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. What I Love about this recipe: Chocolate Chip M&M Cookies – The chocolate chips in this M&M recipe really take it to a whole other level! I like to use mini chocolate chips rather than regular so they don’t take away from the real star of the show....

comment icon 64 more comments And I need things to photograph. So I stuffed a vanilla malt into a chocolate chip cookie and poured myself a glass of milk. Suddenly I found myself elbow deep in this buttery, crumbly, malt-y, weird looking but seriously wonderful dough. And then I ate a few dozen half-baked malt cookies. Hmm? Book? Oh yeah, that. But seriously. Just to clarify a few things, the recipe calls for one cup of Crisco....

Bjork here, checking in for the monthly traffic and income report on Pinch of Yum. We started doing these reports over three years ago when we were making less than $30/month from this blog. At that time, food blogging for us (mostly Lindsay) was purely a hobby, but we wanted to know if it was possible to actually monetize a food blog. These income reports were created to document that progress....

Happy Holidays, friends! We’ve arrived in this very happy minty chocolate December place and IT. IS. GOOD. I am holiday-dancing like Elf over here as the snow falls and my unpacked Europe suitcase lays open in the living room, and the Christmas music blares on full blast and the smear of chocolate cake batter looks nice and cute on my chin. Whatchu gonna do bout it. HOW TO MAKE OUR HOLIDAY CAKE BITES: Do you remember cake pops?...

But making muffins that are trail-mix inspired is totally fine. They’re some of easiest and least fussy muffins to make. No mixer, one bowl, and literally a two minute batter. The batch makes 9 modest-sized muffins, perfect for your cravings, but you’re not swimming in muffins for days. The muffins happen to be vegan, but they definitely don’t taste like health food. They’re satisfying, filling, and comforting. Frequently vegan muffin and quickbread recipes get around the egg issue by either using nut butter or bananas....

There’s nothing like a freshly-baked cookie! Try these M&M Cookies, Chocolate Mint Cookies, Super Soft Sugar Cookies, or Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies!

comment icon 104 more comments This recipe is amazing. It seems humble and slightly too healthy at first glance, I know. But it’s something of a miracle. It’s nutty, chewy, rustic, and just the slightest bit brothy, which is compelling and unexpected and delicious. It’s spoonable like a stew, but textured and chewy more like a pasta. The flavors are mellow from gently cooked thinly sliced onion and garlic, sweet and tomatoey, and earthy and hearty from the kale....

One-Pot Cheesy Taco Pasta Recipe The beauty of this taco pasta skillet is that’s ready in 20 minutes and it’s made in one skillet. Only one skillet to wash is the name of this tune.

It’s full of all your favorite Mexican-inspired taco flavors and fixings....

I went to the regular grocery store and re-stocked some fresh produce. Organic tofu was on sale for $1.50 3 pounds of organic gala apples were on sale for $2.99 making organic cheaper than conventional. Gotta love in-store buys. Then I went to Whole Foods where I only buy Vegenasie. Walk in, do not look left, right, or anywhere but to the Vegenaise case and walk right out. Do not browse or get sucked in!...

Crispy Baked Fish Nuggets Recipe I have childhood memories of eating fish practically every Friday during Lent. Sometimes we’d go to a fish fry and other times my mom would make fish at home. Tilapia was always a popular option and that’s what fish I used in these Parmesan fish nuggets. Nugget-sized pieces of tilapia are breaded with a mixture of Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs before baking them. The fish nuggets get perfectly crisp in the oven even without frying them yet retain a moist interior....

And I love that cookie recipe so much because it combines peanut butter, oatmeal, and chocolate chips all in one cookie so that I don’t have to choose among three favorite kinds of cookies: Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip, or Oatmeal Cookies. It was high time I made cookie dough bites with a similar flavor to those cookies, sans egg, so that I can just eat raw cookie dough at my leisure and not worry about eating raw eggs in raw cookie dough....

Serve Pollo Fundido with a side of Mexican Rice, Refried Beans, and Horchata or Tres Leches Cake for a killer authentic Mexican meal! This Pollo Fundido burrito is a copycat of burritos (also called burros) found at local Mexican restaurants here in Arizona. I like to serve the jalapeño cream sauce over burritos or chimichangas, but you could serve it as a dipping sauce for taquitos, quesadillas, or even on tacos and nachos....

And I don’t even like salt! I went back to the farmer’s market and saw all these gourmet salts. The pink salt is known as Himalayan Pink Salt I found these Himalayan Pink Salt Benefits: Himalayan salt maintains optimum levels of water in the body that is very essential for proper functioning of several processes and organs. Each cell needs a specific level of pH to perform their functions. This salt aids in maintaining optimum pH levels, particularly in brain cells....

After we came home, I gave Skylar a few Brad’s Raw Chips with some of my “Spicy Doritos” Cheezy Dip I made some Vegan Vanilla Softserve since it’s Scott’s favorite From Yesterday… Thanks for letting me know how often you replace your shoes. Many of you don’t replace them very often. Madeline our resident athletic gear and footwear expert recommends 500 miles or 6 months. Which ever comes first. Both she and I concur, our bodies tell us at 500 miles on the nose!...
