I can’t wait for you to try these oven roasted mushrooms with balsamic vinegar! Once you do, you’ll want to put them on everything: pizzas, pastas (I do zucchini noodles!), omelettes, the list goes on. There are so many ways to eat these balsamic mushrooms, not to mention my favorite way — straight from the pan. In addition to my roasted mushroom recipe, I’ll also show you a few tips on how to make mushrooms in the oven perfectly and how to freeze them for later if you happen to have some extras....

As soon as I heard we were getting a snow storm, I ran to the grocery store to buy the ingredients to make Pörkölt. I usually don’t need an excuse to crave beef stew, but cold weather simply asks for it! There truly isn’t anything as comforting as sitting by the fire with a bowl of stew. As it’s the case with most stews, Pörkölt is a simple dish, delicious not because of its complexity in cooking, but for the amazing rich flavors – coming predominantly from the smoky earthiness of the paprika – and the tenderness from the slow cooked beef....

This recipe is sponsored by DeLallo. Pesto is one of those magic foods that can’t help but lift your mood. A blend of herbs, Parmesan cheese, nuts, lemon, and olive oil, Basil Pesto sings with the promise of warm afternoons, late sunsets, and the kind of easy dinners I long to cook all summer long. Pesto is versatile, vibrant, and anything you add it to comes to life (I actually have a whole list of simple, unique ways to use pesto sauce in my cookbook!...

You know, the self who practices yoga at sunrise, never loses her patience, and doesn’t need to wear make-up because her skin is so flawlessly dewy. Right. That self. Good thing this quinoa chickpea salad is far more attainable! While I’ve never had the patience for yoga (or much patience in general, just ask my husband), healthy make-ahead chickpea salad recipes can make us all feel like balanced zen masters....

In fact, it’s my new favorite chocolate dessert. Between the buttery crust, creamy cheese layer, silky-smooth pudding, and light whipped topping, this dish is to die for. This dessert is full of creamy, chocolaty goodness. No wonder it’s also sometimes called “Sex in a Pan.” Just imagine the glorious combination of chocolate, cream cheese, and pudding on top of a butter pecan crust! It’s definitely impossible to resist. Plus, it’s a snap to whip up and can feed a crowd, too, making it perfect for parties and potlucks....

I tried several curry dishes in the past but never felt like it was something I wanted to try again. It all changed when I made this Thai-style red curry with coconut cream and milk. The curry was delightfully spicy, with a touch of sweetness, plenty of savory notes and a velvety texture. I’ve paired it with many things, chicken meatballs, shrimp, and even roasted vegetables. It makes everything taste better....

There are many different ways to make stuffed peppers but this one is by far the best that I’ve ever tried. These peppers are so tender that they practically melt in you mouth. They are divine! I’ve received so many compliments for this dish that I won’t be afraid to say that these are probably some of the very best tasting stuffed peppers out there. They take a bit of work to make but trust me on this, they are totally worth it....

Stir fry recipes have been a key to meal sanity around here since Ben and I were married more than a decade ago (!). From Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry to Sweet and Sour Chicken, the fact that stir fries are fast and that the leftovers give us something fast and filling to reheat the next day for lunch means it’s easier to eat healthy more often. Of the different varieties of stir fries I cook (of which there are many), the one “genre” that never fails to hit the spot is anything involving juicy pieces of chicken coated in a thick, sticky, sweet-and-savory sauce....

If I could only have one cocktail for the rest of my days (a semi-alarming prospect indeed), it would be a fresh margarita. No mixes, bottled juices, or frozen mumbo jumbo here. Give me my rim salted, my ice cubes large and in charge, and an extra splash of tequila for good luck. When made properly—meaning the recipe ingredients include only fresh juices, liquor, and agave or simple syrup—a margarita is one of the most refreshing, satisfying drinks you’ll taste....

Mashed potatoes are the ultimate side dish and they pair with almost anything! I especially love this cheesy version with Coq au Vin or Boeuf Bourguignon. Hello, you beautiful thing! 😍 Oh, you thought I was talking to you? Sorry, I was too busy admiring these incredibly creamy, velvety, buttery, cheesy mashed potatoes. Aren’t they gorgeous? I first had gouda mashed potatoes when we were at the Food and Wine Festival, at Disney World, back in September....

This paleo smoked salmon salad cake is one of my favorite dishes – it’s healthy, it’s easy to make, it’s delicious and it’s visually appealing, full of bright vibrant colors. I got the inspiration from a traditional to Russia and other Slavic countries dish, which is made inside a deep dish and which uses pickled herring in place of salmon. I think that the brightly colored salmon makes this dish so much more colorful and elegant, and so does the cake shape....

Thick-cut pork chops that are mouth-wateringly tender (YES, there is such a thing as pork chops that are NOT dry) and bathed in a rich onion gravy, this pork chop recipe is an easy recipe to make and the kind of homey comfort that never fails to hit the spot. I avoided pork chops for most of my adult life. My childhood body of evidence taught that pork chops were bland, dry, and chewy....

FavoritePinShare An amazing fudgy brownie that is layered with caramel, peanuts, and nougat and tastes exactly like a Snickers!! I live right down the street from a Sweet Tooth Fairy. Dangerous I know. While I was at my weekly run I spotted a new treat. Snickers Brownies. Now Snickers are my favorite candy bar. They are what finally broke me of my hate for chocolate. Sweet Tooth Fairy’s are made a little different with the brownie on the bottom and more of a caramel nougat frosting on top drizzled in chocolate....
