This recipe calls for a butter sauce with garlic, lemon juice, and honey which adds sweetness and brightness to the side of salmon. The baked salmon gets topped with chopped chives, basil, and parsley, adding a touch of freshness at the end. If you don’t have these on hand you can use any fresh soft herb of your choice like tarragon or cilantro. This east-to-make yet flavorful combination is sure to be a crowd pleaser and once you get the method down, the flavor variations are endless....

As a matter of fact, I do! My friend Bill gave me this recipe years ago, a favorite from his Brazilian wife Silvia. I’ve made it several times, each time with different cheeses. Talk about addictive! I’ve cut Bill’s original recipe down to just a third, because if I actually made a full batch (48) I could conceivably eat them all.

Oh I love it when I manage to get a fish dish on the table that everyone enjoys. Chris generally complains when I tell him I’m cooking fish, and the kids will take it, but I know in their hearts they’re thinking about spag bol or a nice big lasagne. This fish dish works a treat though. Light, but also just a little bit creamy - with the addition of a good splash of coconut cream....

This super easy keto chicken cordon bleu gives me the wonderful flavor combination of the classic dish, without the hard work and kitchen mishaps. I created this recipe after a few failed experiments. When I tried to stuff chicken breasts with ham and cheese then bake them, the cheese managed to ooze out, leaving me with dry chicken and puddles of melted cheese on the pan. 😳 So I decided to coat the chicken breasts, bake them, then layer them with ham and cheese and return them to the oven just until the cheese is melted....

History lesson: It is mostly agreed by historians that ceviche (also known as seviche, or cebiche) originated in Peru in colonial times, though it is also found in many coastal areas throughout Latin America. It was made using local ocean-caught fish and fermented juice from the banana passionfruit. Using Raw Shrimp for Ceviche: Want to make a more traditional ceviche using raw shrimp and allowing the citrus to do all the cooking?...

The two things to keep in mind when cooking eggplant, especially firm globe eggplants, is that not only do eggplants hold onto moisture, they also absorb oil like a sponge. So if you’re not careful you can end up with something mushy and oily. For Easy Eggplant Parmesan, Salt and Bake Your Eggplant To deal with the oil absorption issue, instead of frying the breaded eggplant slices, we bake them in the oven, before assembling the casserole to be baked again....

Can I just tell you that I LOVE this burger? It is juicy, messy, tender, and full of flavor. Carl’s Jr. isn’t messing around when they say if it doesn’t get all over the place it doesn’t belong in your face. Fajita burgers are faster than making regular burgers, and I swear they taste better. The first time I made this recipe I had meant to use regular ground beef and then forgot to buy it at the store....

Of course, the Irish alone can’t lay claim to a good stew. Cultures across the globe boast their own spin on these belly-filling braises. Consider, for example, the curries of India, tagines of Morocco, and cassoulets of France. What’s universal in all these dishes, no matter the origin, is that they’re cooked low and slow to develop deep flavor and a rich base, all punctuated by vegetables, meats, poultry, seafood, or some combination thereof....

The basic ingredients are simply almond flour (finely ground blanched almonds), eggs, sugar, and lemon zest. No butter or wheat flour. The cake behaves a bit like a soufflé in that it gets most of its rise from the eggs in the batter, and then gently falls as it settles. I’ve included a bit of baking powder to help the cake maintain a bit more structure as it cools. The result is a light and tender crumb, softly sweet and lemony....

And if that wasn’t enough, this just happens to be made in ONE POT and is on the table in just over 20 minutes. It’s outrageous! GARLIC SHRIMP MAC AND CHEESE – A DREAM COMBO! The last time I wrote that I love Mac and Cheese so much it would be my Last Meal, I received alarmed messages from readers who thought I was on the way out. I quickly wrote back to assure them that I was only joking, that I was perfectly fine, and no I wasn’t secretly an incarcerated food blogger in the unfortunate position of having to start thinking about my Last Meal....

Years ago when I first started experimenting with gingerbread men recipes, I made one truly terrible batch from a recipe in my favorite 1974 edition of the Joy of Cooking. That recipe called for 1/4 cup of butter and 3 1/2 cups of flour, and the result, as you might expect, had more structure than taste. My guess is that the Joy cookie was originally developed to be a tree ornament, and while there is nothing wrong with cookie tree ornaments, I wanted gingerbread people I could EAT....

A weekend that I have no plans for. Bliss! I say I have no plans, but I’ll no doubt be tidying, doing the washing, gardening, thinking up and cooking some kind of Halloween treat for the blog, hoovering the car, and of course publishing my next hot smoothie recipe tomorrow. What I mean is, I have no plans where I have to get out of my tracksuit bottoms and hoodie....

I tend to procrastinate this most important meal of the day, sipping my coffee and checking email before plunging into work. Before long, it’s ten o’clock and hunger pangs have set in. I love opening my fridge to see these oatmeal and chia cups waiting for me. But of course, if you are rushing out the door, these cups are very handy, too. In fact, I often bring them in the car when I’m traveling and don’t want to rely on fast food....

Ready in just 20 minutes, they’re one of my favorite side dishes to make. They go well with so many main courses! Portobello mushrooms are amazing. Just like eggplants, they have a pronounced flavor and an almost meaty texture. I love stuffing them with fillings (these stuffed portobello mushrooms are great), and I also like simply grilling them. This is such an easy recipe. Bush the mushrooms with a tasty marinade, grill, and serve....

This easy side dish is ready in just 20 minutes. Pair it with a grilled main dish such as these grilled shrimp and you’ve got yourself the perfect summer meal! Zucchini is such a wonderful summer staple. I get so excited in June when the local farmer’s market starts carrying young, firm zucchinis! These days, in more and more places you can find this tasty vegetable year-round, so I do indulge in one of my favorite zucchini recipes - baked zucchini fritters - quite often....

Bell Pepper Substitute for Tuna Stuffed Avocado: The red bell pepper in this recipe can easily be replaced with tomatoes. You can even add diced tomatoes, halved, or quartered cherry tomatoes to the recipe as an addition. Spice Level: You can leave out the jalapeño if you want to control the level of heat in this recipe. Jalapeños vary in how spicy they can be, so you never really know what you’re going to get....

While initially, the idea of chicken in a dip sounded kinda wrong, let me tell you that there is nothing wrong about how it tastes....
