Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies Recipe If you love salty-and-sweet treats, these are for you. Soft chocolate chip cookies with crunchy pretzels baked in. There are so many different flavor and texture elements, making the cookies totally irresistible. I adapted the dough base I used in Trail Mix Protein Bar Cookies and Cream Cheese Cookies. I’ve been enjoying this base lately because the cookies turn out soft, slightly chewy, buttery with rich brown sugar flavor, and the batch size is under 1 dozen, perfect for my small family....

Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Smoothies that require a spoon rather than a straw are my favorite kind. And smoothies with chocolate and peanut butter are even better. This vegan, gluten-free smoothie is thick, rich, and tastes like drinkable chocolate-peanut butter fudge. What I love about this chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie is that it’s made with ingredients I always have around. The milk is Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk and I love it....

But these Cinnamon Apple Carrot Pancakes are my attempt at temporary distraction from the cold snowy tundra outside. Who knew carrots, apples, and raisins could make such a delicious breakfast? Wait! Before you run away for fear of the raisins, you should know that I don’t even like raisins. I even considered digging through the Raisin Bran and taking out the raisins before adding the cereal, but laziness got the best of me and I left them in....

Easy English Muffin Bread Recipe I used to fear making bread with yeast, worrying that it wouldn’t turn out and that I would just wind up wasting precious time, energy, and ingredients for all nothing. I’m over my fears now. If you’ve never made bread before, this cinnamon raisin bread is a great one to start with because there’s no kneading. There’s also no need to first dissolve the yeast in water....

But now we want to let loose a bit. Make some recipes that feed all the things — our bellies, our hearts, our little joy pockets on these cold winter days. (And it is okay if you want to LOL at our version of “letting loose”, but here we are.) These things are a little more involved, a little rich, and a lot of fun. We’ll drizzle things in caramel, we’ll drown them in noodles, thwap them with burrata, we’ll wrap them up like presents in crisp flour tortillas....

Milk Bar Crack Pie Recipe Yep, you read the title correctly. This is a Christina Tosi recipe, and I surmise this pie and the real thing have a fair amount in common. The addictive quality, thinking about it when you shouldn’t be, and wondering when you’re going to get it again are likely common themes for both. I can say definitely that all rings true with regard to Crack Pie. Like all of Christina’s recipes, there are multiple steps and recipes within recipes but the results were worth it....

I’ve made plenty of Rice Krispies Bars and Chocolate Candy Cereal Bars with with cereal and marshmallows, but have never put them into cookies. Why not? I have no idea. But there was no time like the present to start. Here are my candid thoughts and notes about the cookies and recipe, which is from Christina Tosi’s Momofuku Milk Bar Cookbook. I am posting it as part of the Milk Bar Mondays group I’m part of and a half dozen of us all made this recipe this week....

From the first day of this blog I’ve been a squash liker, but for some weirdos (ahem) it takes moving to the Philippines to become a full on squash l-o-v-e-r. This recipe absolutely changes the quinoa. The flavors are so unique. There is no other recipe like it! comment icon 62 more comments If we’re being honest, I’m actually more of a second photo creamy squash sauce lover, but it’s all the same anyways....

comment icon 8 more comments Specifically the bread and cheese part. But as much as I would love to dedicate this entire post to bread and cheese, I must move on to the only thing I actually made here. The soup. But please note how well this soup complements warm bread and melted cheese, and how cute all of it looks in a handmade mug? Lucky for you, there’s more pottery where that came from!...

I’m so excited to add this simple Rouladen recipe to compliation of my favorite International foods. I can thank my Dad (who lived in Germany as a young adult), and some good German friends of ours from growing up, for my love of good German food! In Germany, Rouladen are often served as Sunday dinner, the way the Brits do a post roast. Both the mustard and the slower, longer cook time with moist heat (braising) make for fall-apart tenderness in the meat....

comment icon 78 more comments Secondly, this pizza that I keep talking about? It needs a crust. Made with whole wheat pizza dough. And a sauce, but we already talked about that. I found this crust recipe in a magazine. One of the things I ask our visitors to bring is magazines. There are plenty here in the Philippines, but sometimes you just need to read up on your American celeb gossip and browse through Real Simple recipes....

Look at it and study it because it’s how you’re going to make all your French toast dreams happen in real life. Just one little (large) shmear of mascarpone cheese is all it takes, bebe....
