Quick + Easy If you haven’t noticed…I’m a lazy cook. It’s true. I don’t like to spend THAT much time preparing a meal. Or if I do, it better put some leftovers in the fridge to cut down on cooking time another day. Well, these pork ramen noodles are both quick + easy AND make leftovers! You’ll be enjoying this meal in 30 minutes and have some in the fridge for lunch or another dinner....

I like to top it with pepperoni, but there are plenty of other tasty options. And you can even keep the leftovers! They’re surprisingly good. I love using vegetables as a base for all kinds of pizza creations. 🍕 It’s such a good way to eat more veggies and actually enjoy it! In this particular recipe, the portobello mushroom base is “meaty” and delicious, and the melty, cheesy topping is delightful, as one would expect....

Almost. When you add North African ingredients such as turmeric, ginger, cumin, and coriander, along with pomegranate juice (for a little sweetness), you end up with something new, flavorful, and altogether fantastic! As the cold weather wears on, we want comforting, cozy meals but we also want to mix things up a bit so we don’t get bored. Here’s a chance to do that. Why Braise Pot Roast? Slow braising, like we’re doing for this pot roast, means cooking foods in a small amount of liquid in a pot at a steady, moderate temperature....

Adapted from a Julia Child’s recipe, this is luxurious and thoroughly indulgent. Bonus: It’s the ultimate make ahead potato side dish! Potatoes au Gratin Potatoes au Gratin? Or Scalloped Potatoes? If you’re wondering what the difference is between Scalloped Potatoes and Au Gratin Potatoes, scalloped potatoes are made with a flour-butter-milk roux, whereas Potatoes au Gratin are made with 100% indulgence: cream, butter and cheese. So I ask you again: Potatoes au Gratin?...

Prawn Tacos I want to open with a grand statement like “I’m yet to meet a taco that I don’t love”, but then I remember that time we bravely tried offal street tacos in Mexico City (intestines, to be exact) and how it was clear that the part we got were……errr…let’s say from the lower part of the intestines, with a distinct, unpalatable flavour that will never be forgotten… So I decided to scrap that and just say – PRAWNS!...

This enchilada recipe is a tasty way to repurpose leftovers and transform them into another delicious meal for the family. How to Make Pulled Pork Enchiladas All you have to do is to prepare an easy enchilada sauce, warm up the filling of your choice, and lightly fry corn tortillas to get ready to fill them up. Wrap the filling and arrange the enchiladas in a baking dish with the sauce poured on top....

Regardless of the season, I tend to add chocolate to whatever I can. What doesn’t improve with the addition of decadent chocolate? If you’ve never had chocolate and pumpkin together, it’s a delicious combination. Sweet pumpkin pairs remarkably well with the slight bitterness of chocolate. Add in pumpkin pie spice and the flavor is reminiscent of spiced Mexican chocolate. These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins combine cozy pumpkin spice with pockets of rich chocolate....

There are three things I can thank for this change: 1) Moving to a part of the country where pho restaurants are as common as pizza joints. 2) Several months of gluten-free eating last year due to a health issue. 3) Meeting and becoming friends with Vietnamese cooking expert Andrea Nguyen. Andrea has now published a new book entirely devoted to – what else?! – pho, and I’d like to share with you her recipe for Quick Chicken Pho....

The key ingredient to this stew is clam juice, which they sell in shelf stable eight-ounce bottles. We usually keep a couple in our pantry. I have prepared the soup for people with shellfish allergies; the thing to do is to substitute the clam juice with white wine, fish stock, or water. It works; it’s just not quite as tasty. The stew works best with a firm white fish, such as halibut or cod....

This is a recipe I’ve used for over 10 years now. Chicken tenders are awesome because they cook so quickly, especially on a grill. It’s one of the easiest dinners I have up my sleeve. Technically you don’t even have to marinate the chicken if you are in a rush. It’s pretty darn tasty if you end up tossing it on the grill immediately too. If you don’t have an outdoor grill, no worries on that either!...

Macarons look like a tricky and intimidating dessert, but I am confident that with a little practice these delicious bite-sized treats will become your favorite treat. What is a French Macaron? Do not confuse a macaron with a macaroon, which are mound cookies made with shredded coconut. French macarons are delicate, sweet meringue-based sandwich cookies with a crisp shell and a chewy texture. When baked properly, the shells will have little ruffled feet at the base of the cookie....

What Is Remoulade Sauce Made With? All remoulades are based on either oil or mayonnaise, and most Louisiana remoulades also have mustard, garlic, paprika, and Cajun or Creole seasonings. If you do any traveling around Louisiana you’ll find that it seems like almost everyone has their own “secret recipe” for this sauce. It’s served most often with shrimp and crab cakes, po boy sandwiches, and even chicken. It’s also awesome as a substitute for ketchup with french fries....

Video: How to Make Rice Pudding With a little investigation, I found that there are two basic ways to make rice pudding — baking or boiling. Then there is my father’s way, which is take some cold white rice, add some cream, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix and eat. Dad has been making rice pudding this way my whole life, but dad’s method has never appealed to me that much, so boiling or baking it would have to be....

Once you have your rich broth, you can add sauteed vegetables and leftover turkey meat for a wonderfully satisfying meal. Having a hot, comforting bowl of soup for a late dinner on Thanksgiving is something I look forward to every year. I admit it: We eat our Thanksgiving meal early partly to make sure we get to enjoy this tasty soup that same night! This leftover turkey soup is so rich and delicious....

Roast cubes of butternut squash so they get tasty caramelized edges. While roasting the squash, prep the onions and kale and then sauté them with balsamic vinegar, adding the squash, pecans, and cranberries at the end. Simple. Beautiful. Packed with flavor and color. The balsamic vinegar? It’s what makes all the difference. The sweet tartness just intensifies the flavors of the onions, squash and kale. Oh yeah, it’s also vegan....

This is golden eggplant is the dish I make whenever we have company for dinner and there are vegetarians among us or I feel like something a little lighter is in order. Even the carnivores among us like a meatless meal once in a while, and besides, eggplant is such a meaty vegetable! I roast the eggplant halves in a very hot oven until they char, and then serve them topped them with more vegetables and a yogurt-tahini sauce....

In the class we covered many dishes, but my favorite was the Roasted Parsnips with Horseradish-Herb Butter. I love these parsnips! Note to those who run from horseradish – try it anyway. I can’t distinguish the horseradish from the flavors of the parsnips and butter, and neither could my parents until I told them what was in it. The flavors of the ingredients are a perfect complement to each other....

For this recipe, we lean on in-season root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, and beets, along with hearty kale, for a twist that fitting to fall. A maple brown butter dressing infused with fresh rosemary ties everything together and a scattering of crumbled goat cheese adds a creamy tang to every forkful. Mix and Match Root Vegetables In the recipe, I intentionally keep the selection of root vegetables up to you....

Conditioned for politeness, sometimes they are just not willing to be as critical as I’d like. (You can’t like everything mom!) Tried again tonight, this time with fresh pineapple and very fresh salmon and as expected the salmon skewers were a thousand times better (mom agreed). The trick to great salmon skewers is high heat (charcoal grill better than gas better than broiler), the freshest salmon available, and watching the grill (or broiler) like a hawk....

You can use shop-bought chips or fries, or use homemade crispy chips.
