If you've ever tried to make molded gelatin, whether in standard little cubes or elaborate shapes, you've probably had at least one occasion in which to curse at the process. So, I'm sharing my favorite method this time around to help bring a little more success to the world.
I don't do it often, but sometimes I'm either out of eggs or have just one or two I'm saving for something else and I will bake without eggs. After all, you don't need to have eggs (or even dairy) on hand, but a day without chocolate cake is just a little cloudier than it needs to be!
Drinking vinegars, also known as shrubs, have experienced a recent rise in popularity but it's hardly the first time. Colonial times saw them everywhere from tea rooms to saloons. Make sure they make an appearance in your home with this festive, simple option.
Embrace the fading festivity of the recent holidays by using that last bit of eggnog in an entirely festive, decadent dessert. A little planning ahead will have you enjoying rich, creamy creme brûlée infused with the flavor of our waning holiday season.
Every once in a while, I invite readers to join me for a little bit as I enjoy my meandering journey through the world that is food blogging. I've been doing it for nearly 20 years - before the word "blog" had even been coined! This time, we take a peek at photography.
I love beef tips, but they've previously been a bit of a weekend decadence for me since a slow simmer was what I needed for tender tips. No more. If you've got an InstantPot or other pressure cooker, they can be on your table in a half hour!
Baking chili dogs makes this meal a fusion of fun summer food and something almost like a casserole. It also makes it a surprisingly simple and quick weeknight meal or even the kind of thing you can tote along to the park or a tailgate party.
Chili-infused vodka seemed like a good idea to me and a great idea to my husband. Being a man who seems happier breathing fire than air some days, we embarked on an adventure to make the perfect vodka for an ideal bloody mary. The result? He's thrilled with it at full strength and I'm happy to dilute it a fair bit to make a spicy-sweet watermelon martini.
A meatloaf-like meatball recipe gets a tex-mex twist and taco meatballs are born! Use them in a south-of-the-border pasta dish or as the star of your new favorite, a taco meatball sub sandwich. If you're like me, you'll double or triple the recipe and freeze some for later.
If you've avoided venison because it never seems to cook up tender or you are worried about it tasting "gamey", grab your pressure cooker and get ready for a Korean favorite with a healthier twist. The pressure cooker is the perfect tool for tender venison brimming with flavor every time.
When you say chocolate, I'm listening. If you're the same, you'll love a batch of easy no bake bars featuring an oatmeal cookie-like crust and a filling that's loaded with chocolatey goodness. A great treat to put together while Sunday's stew simmers!
