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....

Chicken Bog a regional recipe native to South Carolina, but it’s most often found in Pee Dee and Lowcountry regions. In other regions, chicken bog goes by the name of ‘purloo’ or ‘chicken rice’. It is called chicken ‘bog’ because the chicken gets bogged down in the rice. Making chicken bog Making chicken bog starts with simmering a whole chicken with vegetables, herbs and spices until very tender, for about an hour....

Chicken Francaise is flour-dredged, egg mixture-dipped pan-fried chicken cutlets, simmered in a heavenly lemon-butter and white wine sauce. Francaise (pronounced “frahn-says”) literally means “French,” but there is a twist. Chicken Francaise (or “Francese” as it can also be spelled) isn’t French at all. It’s Italian American (!). When Italian immigrants came to America, they brought their favorite recipes with them, including veal Francaise, but they began swapping in the less costly chicken for the veal, thus creating chicken Francaise....

Lately, every time I walk through the grocery store or hear an update about a friend’s garden, I’m in awe of the abundance of colors and flavors that burst from the earth this time of year. Summer ingredients demand little from us as home cooks, yet their rewards are great. It’s as if summer is showing off by not showing off. I’ve been stockpiling our kitchen with zucchini and tomatoes lately, the result of being a seasonally-obsessed bargain shopper who can’t resist a pretty piece of produce or a good deal....

Air Fryer Frozen Chicken Wings I love to make frozen chicken wings in air fryer. When I am making fresh chicken wings, I usually end up making large batches. When I use frozen chicken wings I can make as many as I want and save the rest for later. Crispy Air Fryer chicken wings are one of my favorite ways to make this easy appetizer or dinner. I don’t preheat air fryer for this recipe....
