That’s why chicken cacciatore is here for you, and you, and you, AND YOU! Chicken cacciatore is braised Italian chicken in saucy pasta-friendly form, and the best thing about it for me right now is that it is bright, acidic and punchy (major caper action). Hello, YES. comment icon 166 more comments But it’s also rich and savory (thanks, mushrooms), luscious and silky (olive oil and butter combo at work), and all-around just really satisfying over a pile of silky lemon-buttered capellini noodles....

The Easiest Instant Pot Paella Recipe Paella is a centuries old rice dish originating from Spain and most often contains proteins including seafood, chicken, or sausage. However, as is the case with many recipes that tend to be old, it’s common for them to take hours and hours to prepare. But in our fast-moving world, no one has time or desire to cook all day, especially me! That’s where my shrimp paella recipe that’s made in an Instant Pot changes everything and saves you tons of time without sacrificing authentic paella flavor....

Me? Wild Rice Soup? Obsessed? Pshhh. comment icon 1742 more comments Okay fine, I might be a little obsessed. There might be something like three variations of wild rice soup already on this blog. I don’t know. It’s not a problem, okay? It’s just… a love. In This Post: Everything You Need For Wild Rice Soup Prefer To Watch Instead Of Read? Variations Of This Wild Rice Soup It might be helpful to do a quick recap of my wild rice soup journey over the course of my life....

Bjork here (Lindsay’s husband). I’m checking in for my monthly cameo on Pinch of Yum. I was really excited to write this post this morning. Then the electricity went out. Which means that the internet went out. Which means I’m drafting this post in good ole’ Microsoft Word. Writing in Microsoft word makes me feel like I need to be using MLA formatting. I’ll resist the urge. Here’s the deal with this post....

Hmmm, where did I put the brown sugar? It’s always a good to thing to cut corn off the cob so it doesn’t get stuck in your teeth as easily. Make sure to use your pizza cutter for it. Five going on fifteen and loves to use her pink fuzzy blanket as her yoga mat, demands a pink ponytail holder, and wears pink plastic rings to the pool. It’s been ages since I posted pictures of her, and she was just adorable this morning and was melting me all day....

(source) Just google Whole Foods + Kombucha and there are hundreds of online stories about it. Tonight or over the weekend I found a woman locally who has an organic Scoby she is going to give me! That way I can start making my own kombucha! This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, it interestingly enough just happens to coincide with the WF’s situation. Sort of like that psychic, ESP, universe serendipity that I mentioned I am prone to experiencing....

I whipped up a batch of her Coconut Breakfast Cakes (p.78) if anyone has the book. Although, I would say that because I used toasted flax seeds, that my pancakes could be called Maple & Flax “Peanut Butter” Pancake-Cookies, even though there’s no actual PB in them. The toasted flax gives off a wonderfully pea-nutty flave. Yumm. Here’s Ani’s picture of her creations. Here’s mine. I started off by putting toasted flax seeds, maple syrup, and coconut oil into my VitaGrinder Pulled out the resulting dough blob....

If we were having real coffee together, we’d be sitting outside on my deck, and I’d tell you to look over the edge of the deck so you could see the little blooms on my Lenten rose, and we’d talk about how it is so amazing that this unlikely plant was able to be transferred from a small pot in my house, into the soil in the ground, and covered with snow for nearly 6 months, and un-expertly over-trimmed this spring by yours truly, and STILL eventually sprout these beautiful little roses again....

There as no way I was going to watch grown men ram and slam into each other when I could be doing far more productive things. Like doing some online banking and bill paying, organizing my closet, folding laundry, mindless Pinterest surfing, and mindless eating. This beats tailgating food in my book. Deep Dish Double Chocolate Golden Grahams Smores Bars (Vegan & GF options) Did you watch the Super Bowl?...

I had this bag custom made. You want to know where, don’t you? From Porteen Gear on Etsy. The bag was handcrafted by the extremely talented Robyn Porteen. And also thanks to Madeline for tipping me off about Robyn’s great bags! I hand-selected and chose everything about the bag’s colors and details. In case anyone is serious about ordering one, these were my choices: Accent Fabric: Old World Fan Leather: Chocolate Strap Color: Brown Waxed Canvas: Tan Interior Fabric Color: Teal For more info on the dizzying array of choices, see Robyn’s other website, Porteen Gear....

So this is the point in my life where I share my crazy new habits on the internet. Again. Routine #5: This cereal. All the time, every day. Period. It has real (like, REAL) chocolate inside each little piece and a funny dog on the box. So basically it’s a dream come true. PS. Yes, it’s French. (Le is French, right?) I have no idea why this is in Cebu....

I’ve been wanting to make the New York Times Chocolate Chip Cookies since 2008 and finally got around to it. Better late than never. The Times recipe is adapted from Jacques Torres and some people refer to these cookies as ‘The Jacques Torres Recipe’ instead of the New York Times Recipe. Whatever title it’s given, the recipe has been discussed, dissected, and now I’m tossing my thoughts into the ring, too....

And not just the internet, but COOKBOOKS. Remember cookbooks? There’s truly nothing more refreshing than cooking from a physical book instead of your phone. If you don’t know where to start, we’ve got you covered with some of our favorite bloggers (plus their cookbooks!) and their veggie-packed meals we love. Just a quick heads up: some of the links below are affiliate links, which means that if you purchase through them, we’ll receive a small percentage of the sale....

Peaches! Hands down my favorite fruit of summer. We are lucky enough to live near a beautiful orchard where we pick them fresh, but since they’re not ready for picking yet, I recently bought a flat from Costco. They were delicious! We enjoyed most of them plain, some of them with vanilla ice cream, and the last few I saved for this yummy Peach Crumb Cake! Once I pick 20 lbs worth at the orchard I’ll be making more of my favorite peach recipes, including:...

I’ll never tire of peanut butter and jelly in any combination. This combination is no-bake, vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, with no added sugar, and no added oil or salt. And it actually tastes better than good. I think mini food or sandwiched-food of any kind automatically tastes better anyway. The cookie dough comes together in about 1 minute in the food processor. Simply combine cashews, walnuts, coconut, agave, cinnamon, and blend....

comment icon 211 more comments Second of all, help. Thirdly, put one of these cookie cheesecake bars in your mouth asap. Peanut butter chocolate chip cookie cheesecake bars. I know it. The name is way too long. But I can’t think straight or see straight or do anything normal right now, except I can see the fridge, and I’m thinking there are maybe three bars left in there right now?...

Generally, I am not a fan of baking chicken breasts because they tend to turn out dry and don’t usually have as much flavor as, say, grilled chicken. This baked boneless chicken breast recipe changes all that, I promise. The chicken is tender, juicy, moist, easy, ready in a half hour from start to finish, and best of all, made on one sheet pan. Cleanup is as easy as tossing away a sheet of foil....

The weather was gorgeous here on Wednesday and the trend is continuing today. Low 80s, sunny, not a cloud in the sky. Just one of those days that makes me happy to be alive! When it’s warm out, fruit tastes especially good. Like grapes… …and strawberries smeared with Chocolate Coconut Cashew Butter never hurt, either. I plugged along right with a Target run yesterday, too. I’ve been trying to get there since Easter Sunday when I realized they were closed, and although I found a few items at the drug store, I really needed a Target run because Someone’s feet are growing....

If you love marinated meats, you should definitely try my Flank Steak recipe and my Marinated Chicken Tenders. Oh, and don’t miss my Easy, No Fuss Pork Tenderloin recipe! Pork tenderloin is one of my favorite easy cuts of meat to cook for my family, especially for a nice Sunday dinner that seems fancy but couldn’t be easier to make. This is my go-to pork tenderloin marinade recipe, and it’s all thanks to my Mom, who always taught me that the key to a good pork tenderloin marinade is simply 1 part oil, 1 part lemon juice, and lots of garlic!...
