When faced with prospect of making dinner and having little or no time available, instead of turning to frozen pizza, use the same amount of time and make a spicy vegetarian stir-fry.
If dinner takes only a half hour to assemble, take advantage of the extra time in the dinner hour to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. Nothing says al fresco quite like a spicy sandwich with onion rings and a fresh salad.
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.
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.
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!
Enjoy baklava but think the only way to get it is by visiting a Middle Eastern restaurant or store? Now you can make a dessert bar that's inspired by this sweet treat!
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.
