With pizza. It’s also vegan, made with whole-wheat flour, and bakes in a skillet with no kneading and no fuss. The dough comes together in one bowl in minutes, and the bread is ready in 30 minutes. Sold yet? Last week Gaby invited some San Diego-area bloggers out to lunch to celebrate the release of her new cookbook, Absolutely Avocados. The recipes are creative and fun, Gaby’s writing is easy-breezy and a joy to read, the photography is stunning, and the book is just wonderful....

Homemade Reuben Sandwiches Recipe For those who’s always wanted to make a deli-worthy reuben sandwich at home, my easy homemade reuben sandwiches recipe has you covered. I took it one step further and made the reuben sandwiches in an air fryer which cuts down on the overall amount of olive oil or butter you need to get a perfectly crispy exterior while the interior is soft and warm with melted cheese....

I made donuts. I had a countertop full of ripe peaches and nectarines and although I thought about making jam with them, that was even a bit much for me. So I did the next best thing with them. Make donuts, of course. And they were looking a little naked so I splattered them jazzed them up with creamy melted white chocolate. Peaches and cream go together, after all....

Like, real work. The kind where you have to pack a lunch and get dressed in professional clothes and stop playing with your phone and set your alarm in the morning so that you get there in time. <— pout. But I won’t even pretend to complain for more than 2 seconds because I love my real job. I consider blogging my hobby job. It can be done in my pajamas at 3pm and lets me be around food all the time....

Easy Recipe for Coconut Shrimp We recently were on a little road trip, and the nearest restaurant to our hotel was an Outback Steakhouse. My daughter fell in love with their coconut shrimp, and I could put the orange dipping sauce on everything in sight. I made a copycat version of the Outback coconut shrimp and sauce, and the recipe is fast, easy, and trumps the restaurant shrimp, if I do say so....

I love banana bread. It’s my thing. I’ll take banana bread over a fancy dessert anytime. I couldn’t get enough of this super soft, moist banana bread that’s bursting with juicy strawberries in every bite. I have over 40 different recipes for banana bread and dozens more for banana muffins and banana cakes. I have an older recipe for a Soft and Fluffy Strawberry Banana Cake, and this strawberry bread is and new and improved rendition of that recipe....

comment icon 101 more comments So what happened was: I fell into a bit of a takeout habit. On a whim, I added the veggie udon to our order from our sushi place (treat yourself) and a love story was born. I found myself unable to stop thinking about the thick (and I mean really, really thick) chewy udon noodles, slicked in an umami-rich sauce and speckled aggressively with freshly ground black pepper, stir-fried with a nice medley of veggies for color and, like, health, I guess?...

I love muffin tops. Those sweet, super moist crowns that adorn muffins, but are gone in about three bites. So I decided to bake a whole loaf of bread that tastes like one big muffin top. The ‘bread’, however, tastes more like dense cake-meets-muffin-top than bread. Bread implies a drier and coarser crumb, but this is super springy and bouncy, soft, tender and muffin top-esque. The cream cheese filling adds even more softness and moisture, along with a pop of tangy flavor....

I have soo many Thanksgiving recipes, but this Broccoli Casserole was one I always looked forward to my Aunt bringing. The cheese crackers on top are the perfect flavor to pair with the creamy sauce and fresh broccoli. It’s a crowd pleaser, and I love that you can prepare it in advance, to free up cooking time on Thanksgiving morning. Forget the green bean casserole–this cheesy Broccoli Casserole gets my vote every year!...

It’s about what it looks like to work for yourself – like being a writer, or a blogger, or a business owner – and also have a baby, which means anyone under 18 years old. Babies, all of them. It’s about answering these questions: Can you get work done with a baby at home?How do you set a schedule?How many hours is too many hours?Should you take a maternity leave?...

I feel like I should have to pay just to be in the same room as these two cutie pies. The activity of choice on this particular evening was “house”. After casting me in the role of the Grandma, the 3-year old announced that she would like to be the big brother. Everyone needs a pretend name when you play “house”, and after just a few seconds of thoughtful consideration, she came up with a name for herself: AmazingHead....

The Best Carmelitas Recipe These oatmeal caramel bars are like the bubblegum with the squishy, squirty center that oozes when you chomp down. Except it’s rich, creamy, buttery caramel that squirts in your mouth when you bite down here. They’re like the softest oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, with a streusel-crumble topping, and more melted caramel than you have napkins for, and that’s beautiful. I’ve been wanting to (re)make these bars for years, and I’m so glad I did....

How to make Chicken Fajita Pasta: In a small bowl combine the fajita marinade ingredients. Place the chopped chicken in one large ziplock bag, and the veggies in another large ziplock bag. Pour half of the marinade into each bag and toss them to coat....

Easy Chicken Noodle Casserole Recipe I remember eating lots of chicken noodle casserole growing up in rural Minnesota. It’s a dish that was always served at potlucks and church basement dinners. But my recipe for chicken noodle casserole differs from those classic versions in one major aspect: there’s no condensed soup in my chicken noodle casserole recipe. Many people do not care for this ingredient, and it’s not available in some countries, and it’s easy enough to cook with more ‘real ingredients’ for this recipe and that’s what I did....

comment icon 28 more comments I have good news for you: This chipotle cashew business is vegan.

comment icon 105 more comments Holy yummm. I love all of the SOS series recipes but I REALLY LOVE THIS RECIPE, all caps necessary. First of all, juicy, tender, sweet, and delicate shrimp is just automatically really SOS-friendly because it’s so fast to cook (like, five minutes fast) and tastes like you live at a fancy restaurant. So there’s that. But secondly, that creamy chipotle orange sauce. WUT. It’s so good....
