One of my “in another life” careers is to own a bed and breakfast. We’d have a wrap-around porch, five-star rating on Trip Advisor, and be renown for our homemade breakfasts. The house special: stuffed French toast. Now that our lives are busier, cooking an all-out breakfast isn’t something I do often for just Ben and myself (or if I do, it’s a 100% make-ahead option like Overnight French Toast)....

Warm Brussels sprouts salad is not to be taken lightly. This is a big-spoon situation. The ideal serving size of will unabashedly dwarf whatever else on the plate has the nerve to call itself the “main” dish. Salty-sweet-nutty-crunchy-creamy this Brussels sprouts and farro salad is a flavor bonanza that steals the dinner show, no apologies. Now, if you paused at the words “Brussels Sprouts,” fear not. High temperature oven roasting transforms the little green guys into caramelized vegetable candy....

(This post is sponsored by Tanimura & Antle through Kitchen PLAY.) Do you dread serving salad at your dinner parties because nobody touches them and you end up wasting everything? Not anymore! This winter salad is the opposite of boring. It’s fresh, bright and it makes a beautiful presentation for the holidays. Everybody will lick their plates clean and go back for seconds! I’m calling it a “winter salad”, but it’s really a fall-winter salad....

Kale salad is just not the sort of dish that garners the instant appreciation that’s showered upon Homemade Scalloped Potatoes. Such is the way of the world. More often than not, winter salad’s purpose at holiday parties is to be the tiny speck of green on our plates that makes us feel less guilty about all of the Mulled Wine and Glazed Sweet Potatoes we are sure to ingest. Two bites of kale salad, and we are absolved....

It is unbearably cold here (For those new to this space, I’m based in Milwaukee, WI). When I woke up this morning, the actual air temperature, without wind chill, was -7. With wind chill factored in, it was -31. Now, I’m the sort of person who is freezing in anything below 69 degrees, so when Ben’s disappeared one Sunday morning for an hour to “run errands” and came home with a space heater it felt like I was falling in love with him all over again....

I love eating baked pears, but now, making them in the air fryer, takes them to a whole new level. I especially like them at holiday family dinners. It is one of my family’s favorite recipes. I first started baking with puff pastry sheets about ten years ago. If you know me, you know I like to experiment with foods. While trying old favorite recipes, I found wrapping glazed pears and baking them in the air fryer, made them even easier....

This easy meal is a family favorite and makes a perfect week night meal. With just two basic ingredients of beef hot dogs, and hot dog buns, all you need are your favorite classic toppings, and you have a fast meal. Air frying these hot dogs is not only fast, it’s super easy. You can even add creative toppings, like a slice of cheese or cheese sauce, and fried onion, with chili, to make chili cheese dogs....

I’ve always loved Monkey Bread as a fun snack but now that I can make it in the Air Fryer it’s a game-changer. Air Fryer Monkey Bread is easy to put together and cooks quickly, in just about 45 minutes it’s ready to enjoy. So why is Monkey Bread called by that name? It originally came from the pastry being a finger food and eaten in pieces like a monkey would do....

I love making seafood recipes with my air fryer. Not only does it cook things faster. but they are also healthier without the extra fats and calories that come from deep fried foods. If you love healthy and light seafood recipes, we have a great list for you to peruse. Make sure you book this page for later! This is the perfect roundup for those hot summer months when you don’t want to break out the deep fryer or turn on the stovetop or oven....

Salads at big holiday meals are easy to pass over. Not this one. The varied flavors, textures, and an unexpected, absolutely delectable cinnamon dressing make it memorable and something your guests will thank you for preparing. Crisp, sweet apple slices are a natural pairing with rich, toasty walnuts and creamy blue cheese (yes, you can swap goat cheese or make it an apple walnut feta salad if you prefer). A handful of cranberries give it festive color and pops of tangy sweetness....

Avocado is one of my favorite ingredients for smoothies. It makes them lusciously creamy like a milkshake, satisfying enough to keep you full (thank you healthy fats and fiber!), and with their healthy fats, fiber, and omega-3s, avocados are nutrition powerhouse. While avocado can taste bland and have an odd texture in a smoothie on its own, if you pair it with the right accompanying ingredients, it tastes delicious and luxurious....

This recipe is sponsored by ALDI. It’s a law of social gathering that no matter what other appetizers you set out for a party, the baked brie will be the first demolished. Fortunately for the busy host(ess), baked brie is make-ahead friendly, saving you stress on an already busy prep day (for example, I’ll make a double batch of these Brie Bites, then keep half in the freezer and bake them right before guests arrive)....

A gooey and fragrant Baked Camembert is always a must at my dinner parties. This version with garlic and rosemary is one of my favorites and pairs greatly with a glass of bubbly! I don’t know if you guys noticed, but I’m on a major party food phase! Who isn’t, really? We are all in the midst of the biggest entertaining season of the year and food is a huge part of it....

There are several different methods for making oven baked eggs, including egg muffins and cloud eggs. But this time, I’m going to show you how to bake eggs in a muffin tin with the yolks and whites intact. They are an easy meal prep option for when you need a boost of protein, or a delicious addition to your brunch spread. I first created this type of baked eggs recipe for my first cookbook, The Easy Keto Cookbook, but since then I’ve experimented with about a dozen different ways — so I’m excited to show you what I learned, including all my tips, a time chart, and variations with bacon, veggies, and more....

This beef cabbage soup recipe (sometimes called hamburger cabbage soup) tastes so rich and hearty, you’d never guess it was healthy. It’s a lot like my hamburger soup, but with the added comfort factor of cabbage instead of green beans. Let me show you how to make cabbage soup with ground beef, tender veggies, and only 15 minutes of hands-on prep — including Crock Pot or Instant Pot options....

My low carb Big Mac salad recipe is like a healthier version of rare childhood memories stopping at McDonald’s. That’s probably not much of an impression for most people, but we very rarely ate out when I was growing up. This included everything from gourmet restaurants to fast food, my parents much preferring home cooked meals. For the most part, I loved my mom’s home cooked food, too. I won’t lie, though – as a kid, those rare occasions that I got to have “fast food” were a treat....

Hi everyone! Here I am once more! I know you probably saw the title of this post and felt extremely disappointed because you came here to see my grand World Cup Gourmet Series finale, but I’m saving that for later in the week. Also, an incident of my husband leaving the marinating meat out of the fridge overnight (in NYC summer heat) may or may not have happened and may or may not have delayed my Netherlands post… Oops!...

Tofu and I have come a long, long way. Or should I say—I have come a long way, after learning how to properly cook tofu. Tofu has a lot going for it. It’s a phenomenal source of plant-based protein. Tofu contains all the necessary amino acids for your body. It’s inexpensive, especially compared to meat.It has a long shelf life. Keep a package in your refrigerator or freezer, and you can pull together a nutritious dinner on demand....

E ai, gente? Tudo bem? Empolgados pra mais uma receita da série Copa do Mundo Gourmet? Hoje eu vou falar um pouco sobre a Bélgica – oficialmente Reino da Bélgica – e seu ABSOLUTAMENTE DELICIOSO, DE COMER CHORANDO, Carbonnade Flammande. Sério… Essa receita vai ganhar seu coração em uma garfada! (Quando eu pedi pro meu marido dar uma nota de 1 a 10, ele deu 11!) A Bélgica é um país que fica na Europa Ocidental; entre a Holanda para o Norte, Alemanha e Luxemburgo para o leste, França para o sul e o Mar Norte para o oeste....
