Chocolate–Peanut Butter Mousse
This dairy-free chocolate peanut butter mousse recipe calls for sweetened peanut butter, which gets along better with the water in terms of taste and texture.
Easy Meatloaf
This all-beef meatloaf has very few ingredients and a whole lot of tricks up its sleeve. Serving it with mashed potatoes is optional, but highly recommended.
Magical Three-Ingredient Dressing
Mayonnaise-haters, look away. This magical dressing—which leans entirely on the creamy, tanginess of mayo and the spicy, garlicky Huy Fong sauce I eat by the jarful—is my secret weapon for any quick salad, grain bowl, seared protein, or sautéed green in need of some zhooshing up. It asks pretty much nothing of you, and gives you everything in return.
Pie Crispies
When it comes to pie crispies, I always save the crust for last. It’s my favorite part of the recipe. I love cinnamon-sugared apples filling, but crust is best.
Simplest Bread Pudding With Salted Brown Sugar Sauce
As easy and good as bread pudding gets. Don’t underestimate the short ingredient list—it knows what it’s doing. The challah is torn and toasted, the half-and-half is rich but not too rich, the dark brown sugar brings all the malty-toffee vibes, and a combination of whole eggs and yolks means a fluffy, custardy texture with no eggy flavor. Oh, and that brown sugar and half-and-half—plus a big pinch of salt and knob of butter—turn into what I like to think of as Cheater’s Caramel. You’ll want to spoon it onto just about everything.
Crispy Sweet Potato Fries
Crispy, sweet and salty fries are my ultimate comfort food. This sweet potato fries recipe is Paleo, Gluten Free, minimum oil required, and extra crispy.
Salted Peanut Butter Pie With Ritz Cracker Crust
This recipe makes a five-ingredient pie that’s somewhere between peanut butter fudge and a gooey blondie using ritz crackers to create a crispy flaky crust.
Sun dried tomato and chickpea pasta
This is what I make when I have nothing in the refrigerator and/or don't have time to chop and dice. It is my failsafe and it's so satisfying and is also very inexpensive. If I happen to have asparagus on hand I always throw that is as well but in an effort to keep it as basic and pantry-friendly as possible, I have stuck with chickpeas and sun dried tomatoes and dried herbs and spices.
Date Energy Balls
Only four ingredients go into this tasty energy ball that is perfect for breakfast, pre-energy workout, post workout, a sweet tooth, or a healthy snack.
Rainbow Carrot Coins
A super simple recipe packed with flavor perfect for an easy side or meal prepping!
Chocolate Babka French Toast
How to make the best French toast recipe ever? Just swap out white bread and use chocolate babka instead for a bready cake, sweet, yeast-raised bread.
Sweetheart Martini
Peanut butter, honey, banana and jelly sandwich
While peanut butter and jelly has long been my favorite sandwich, the later addition of first sliced bananas and, almost a year later, honey, have made what is already my favorite lunch to have at work even better. I first added the banana slices on a whim after being offered one for 50% off at the grocery store I work at, while my friend Clarisa Damron convinced me to try adding honey. When combined between two slices of your favorite bread, peanut butter, honey, banana and jelly will surely be the most delicious homemade sandwich you have ever put to your lips and sunk your teeth into. Your palate will be blown away by how good this is.
Baked Buffalo Wings
For chicken wings that come out of the oven as crisp and tender as their fried counterparts, coat the wings in salt and baking powder. The combination promotes even browning, crackly-crisp skin and moist, tender meat. (Do this for roast chicken, too!) Then, cook them directly under the high heat of the broiler, which renders fat and fuses the spicy buttery sauce to each wing. You can buy any combination of meaty drumettes, wingettes (flats) or wing tips, or buy whole wings and break them down yourself, cutting at the joints to separate each wing into three pieces. Looking for a vegetarian version — or simply to add some vegetables to your spread? Try these Buffalo crudités.
Slow-Roasted Salmon With Kale, Chickpeas & Fried Lemons
Meet my new favorite way to cook salmon. In this recipe, the low oven temperature means it's just about impossible to mess up. Then, sauté kale and chickpeas.
Omelette with leeks, garlic and spinach
A quick and healthy omelette to get you through those long mornings.
Caramel Shards
We use this recipe's caramel hard candy shards in our Butterscotch Blondies, but you could add them to any cake or cookie or they would be awesome in brownies.
Microwave Puffed Garlic
Delicious, crunchy, sometimes a little chewy pieces of garlic. Perfect for snacking on like smelly popcorn!
Vegan Cauliflower Soup
Creamy cauliflower soup topped with extra virgin olive oil! It's the perfect vegan recipe for anytime of the day or night. Only 5 simple ingredients and done in under 20 minutes.
Pasta with mint & peas
I had some leftover mint and ricotta so I made this delicious, refreshing pasta
Foolproof Cream Scones
Scones have a bad rap for being dry, but these ones are anything but. As with biscuits, the standard scone method involves cutting butter into dry ingredients—and hoping you don’t cut it too small or let it get too warm. This version skips the butter altogether and uses lots of cream instead. In turn, the recipe is nothing more than: dump ingredients in a bowl and stir. The white whole-wheat flour adds nutty flavor (though feel free to swap in an equal amount of all-purpose, or even half all-purpose and half standard whole-wheat). The raw sugar brings caramely vibes and an awesome crust. Serve with butter or, my favorites, clotted cream or crème fraîche.
Buttery Garlic Noodles with Peas
Spaghetti noodles tossed in a buttery and garlic sauce tossed with sweet green peas. A super easy and delicious recipe made with less than 5 ingredients!
Stand-Mixer Pie Dough
This easy-breezy pie dough recipe lets the stand mixer do all the work. The butter is less likely to melt, and you’re more likely to get a flaky crust.
