The problem is, they only keep for about a week in the fridge. If you can’t consume all of them within 7 days, and you don’t want them to go to waste, you need a solution. While some mushrooms work great for drying or pickling, others, such as portobellos, creminis, and button mushrooms do not. So what do you do with these types of fungi? Simple: freeze them and they’ll keep well for many months....

But instead of filling the inside with a cream cheese center I decided to use caramel....
What you are looking at is my second batch of chicken bacon ranch fries. I inhaled the first one standing at my stove with such gusto, I was forced to retire to the living room, assume a horizontal position, and watch an episode of Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics to recover. Before this moment of complete humility, the concept of myself eating only fries for an entire meal would have been foreign to me....
Marvelously moist with an intense chocolate flavor that balances the banana-ness just right, this recipe celebrates the divine combo of chocolate + banana in a fashion so sublime, our loaf hardly lasted two days.

If we are going to do this, let’s do it right....

If you’ve been reading my blog long enough you know that our family loves pork chops, from broiled to smoked and smothered. Southern Fried Pork Chops are somewhere at the top of my most favorite pork chop recipes. They are almost as simple to make as my quick boneless pork chops, but the added flavor from bacon fat, that thin layer of crust and a touch of heat from cayenne pepper make them that much more flavorful....

The first is in quiet, seated at a bar stool in my kitchen, alone except for my piping hot cup of coffee (or French Hot Chocolate). It’s peaceful, not lonely, and I am absolutely content for this private moment with a giant, fluffy slice of cranberry cinnamon swirl bread. My other favorite way to enjoy breakfast is crowded at a table with friends, passing plates (of Coffee Cake Muffins and Stuffed French Toast) from person to person, and reaching over to sneak just one more slice of cranberry cinnamon swirl bread from the plate....

Although cranberries are often first thought of for sweet uses, (have you made these Cranberry Orange Cookies yet?) I enjoy them the most in savory dishes, like this slow cooker Brussels sprouts recipe. Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables, and I wanted to devise a way to make them easy to serve at holiday meals. Although I love Roasted Brussels Sprouts (<– an easy answer to how you roast Brussels sprouts so they’re not soggy), if your family’s Thanksgiving is anything like mine, roasted Brussels sprouts would be nearly impossible to execute....
I’m right there with you making a resolution to eat a few more vegetables more nights of the week. But finding the time to prep them can be challenging. As much as I adore these Roasted Sweet Potatoes and these Sweet Potato Fries, for example, sometimes I’m just not in the mood to chop! It feels tempting to skip them altogether. (Know the feeling? Check out this prep-free Roasted Frozen Broccoli and Roasted Frozen Brussels Sprouts....
Ground beef recipes are a super easy way to put dinner on the table when you are busy. Other popular easy dishes you should check out here on the site are my Mexican Beef and Rice Casserole, Sloppy Joes and Korean Beef Bowls. I’ve been testing and tweaking this picadillo recipe for over a year now. And I finally declare it perfect! Or, at least, perfect for me. My husband still claims my Cuban neighbor Carmen makes the best beef picadillo, but, upon closer inspection, I discovered that the only difference is that she doesn’t add currants or raisins....
Prior to the arrival of carrot lentil curry soup, I felt pretty satisfied with our family of lentil soup recipes. This Instant Pot Lentil Soup was the firstborn. It has nearly 100 five-star reviews as this post went to press, though depending upon when you are reading this, maybe we’ve surpassed that mark. Then I wondered, what if someone doesn’t own an Instant Pot? So I adjusted the recipe to make Crockpot Lentil Soup....

Well, as you can see from the picture above, our sweet cavoodle Chewy has certainly never been subtle in trying to demand bites of our popsicles. After what felt like the millionth time I had Chewy on my back trying to eat my ice-cream I decided enough was enough and made up a special batch of Dog Popsicles, or “pupsicles” just for him....
